Fictional Style | Dr. Mindy Lahiri, The Mindy Project

01/29/2014 by Jennifer 4 Comments

First of all, I hope you all love The Mindy Project and saw the last episode (and freaked out like I did). Oh my gosh. If you’re not a fan, then go watch it! I love it so much. There are many times during the day that I think Dr. Mindy Lahiri is probably my spirit guide. I mean, the lady calls herself Beyonce Pad Thai. There’s nothing better than that.

When I told my roommate I wanted to blog about Mindy’s style, she asked how that would even be possible since Mindy’s wardrobe has no consistency. I think that is what makes it fun though! No rules. Mindy’s style = bright patterns, sequins, polka dots, sweatshirts, scrubs, leather, etc. No consistency at all. I also feel the same way about my style. I’m coming to the conclusion that I can’t really put a label on it. Sometimes I dress super plain and simple without accessories. Other times, I wear blouses covered with things like sparkly mushrooms. Sometimes I feel like wearing leather leggings. And on the good days, I wear pajamas all day.

Even more than her taste in clothes, I appreciate Mindy’s constant references to pop culture, whether they’re about Olivia Pope, The Hunger Games or Katy Perry. Glad to know I’m not the only one who tries to sneak those into every day conversation.

Anyway, back to her style:

1. Girl Talk Bobbi Set – Ban.do $15.00
2. NDG | Fashion Glasses, Coco – Oliver Peoples $315.00
3. Jeweled Chandelier Sweatshirt – J.Crew $198.00 (Mindy wore this one while working out a couple episodes ago. She called the jewels “performance rhinstones”. Obvi)
4. Posie Print Silk Crepe Neck Tie Blouse – Orla Kiely £124.00
5. Jumbled Sequins Dress – Nicole Miller $238.00
6. Bee Bling Studs – Furbish Studio $18.00
7. Twiggy Floral Collar – BaubleBar $36.00
8. ‘Charles Street – Audrey’ Leather Satchel – Kate Spade $398.00
9. Leopard Print Suede Pumps – THE OUTNET (sold out)

How do you feel about this eclectic kind of wardrobe? Do you have any go-to items or does your style change a little every day?

ps. After writing this, I coincidentally read Katie’s post on ever-changing style at Skunkboy Blog. I think lots of us are in the same boat. :)

Dress Up | Summer in Winter

01/22/2014 by Jennifer 5 Comments

Looks like I took a reeaally long break from Dress Up posts! My last intentional post was in July. Sheesh. Throughout the past couple of months, I thought about doing some outfit posts, but it was too cold outside and I’m a whimp. Lucky for me, it feels nothing like winter these days. The sun is out, people are wearing short sleeves, and I’m compulsively buying flowers. :)

Wearing:
Headband – Urban Outfitters
Cardigan – UO (honey color is sold out)
Top – UO (last summer)
Leggings – Anthropologie
Boots – Target (in stores, clearance)

Fun fact: the headband I’m wearing is the one Rashida Jones told me was “beautiful!” Ahhhh. Never going to get over that.

I know that Northern California needs rain and all of that, but I still love this summery-spring feeling more than anything. Sorry winter.

Fictional Style | Bree Van De Kamp, Desperate Housewives

01/15/2014 by Jennifer 4 Comments

So if I haven’t mentioned this already, I love TV! I watch too much of it, and I don’t even feel guilty. Currently, I am binge-watching Desperate Housewives on Netflix. My mom used to watch it and would always shush me. Now I understand why. With most shows, you have to give it four or five episodes to really get hooked. My friend Steph says, “Never judge a show by its pilot” which is beyond true.

The thing is, I was drawn into Desperate Housewives within the first five minutes. It’s so intriguing!

Out of all the lady characters, Bree Van De Kamp is probably my favorite. They are all crazy and she’s no exception. Bree’s prim and proper personality is nothing like mine but at the same time, I love her style. Out of all the ladies on the show, I think her wardrobe is the most noteworthy. I can’t recall what anyone else wears on the show, but I can remember some of Bree’s specific outfits. If I could go back to 2004 and somehow be a stylist for the show, I’d be sure to put these things in Miss Van De Kamp’s closet:

1. Large Bow Wool Felt Cloche – Nordstrom $42.00
2. An Elegant Affair Peplum Dress – Ruche $78.99
3. P.A.R.O.S.H. Coat – YOOX $425.00
4. Floral Crocheted Collared Shirt – Oasap #33.99
5. Duo-Pop Satchel – Anthropologie $398.00
6. Charter School Cardigan in Sage – ModCloth $34.99
7. Peach Picking Flat – ModCloth $34.99
8. Pearl Cluster Necklace – J.Crew $88.00
I know that her style evolves through the seasons but I’m only on Season 3, so shhh! No spoilers. :)

Window Shopping | Art Deco Inspired

12/12/2013 by Jennifer 2 Comments

I meant to blog about art deco inspired items months ago while I was searching for a dress to wear to my friend Kat’s 20s themed wedding. I love everything this design style! How can you not? It is attention-grabbing and so very classic, combining the best shapes and colors. I’m so glad it’s making a comeback.

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

I like all of these, but I’m especially into #4.

Can you guys believe how close we are to Christmas? I’m not ready! But miraculously, I have had the past two days off from work and I’ve been using this time to finally get around to a bunch of Christmas crafts. I know that bloggers and shop owners usually make sure they are a month ahead of time. Kudos to you guys. I’ll try again next year. :)

Anyway, tomorrow will begin my nonstop holiday blogging. Stay tuned!

ModCloth + Earl Grey | Uniquely You Campaign

11/21/2013 by Jennifer 2 Comments

Good morning! Today I’m participating in ModCloth‘s Uniquely You campaign. When they asked me to join in on the fun, I may or may not have danced around in my kitchen. It isn’t every day that one of your favorite shops stumbles upon your blog – woohoo! Anyway, I was asked to assemble an outfit around the Coach Tour Dress in Noir, which I think it super classy and wintery.

ModCloth - Uniquely You
ModCloth – Uniquely You by earlgreyjenn featuring hoop earrings

I tend to gravitate toward neutrals. Normally, I would add a big slouchy ivory cardigan and a leather brown bag. I like simple things. But I decided to change my perspective a little.

Where would I (love to) wear this? New York City! In autumn. I went for a “Blair Waldorf in a macaron shop” kind of look. I debated adding the more colorful elements, but ultimately I had to say yes to them. Goldenrod, mint, and pale pink are my favorite pops of color. :)

Now I’m off to Apple Hill for a photo sesh with my bloggy friend Charity and her family!

Window Shopping | Botanical Prints

11/04/2013 by Jennifer 5 Comments

I love a good botanical print, especially if it is on a really dark surface like some of these are. It makes the flowers and plants all the more vibrant, and it proves that floral patterns definitely have a place in colder seasons.

2. Botanical Print (in green) – Anthropologie $58.00
3. Jardin Weekly Desk Pad – Rifle Paper Co. $12.00

5. Art of Instruction Botanical Journals – Paper Source $12.95
6. Nightbloom Tights – Anthropologie $22.00
7. Botanical Book Club Cardigan – ModCloth $57.99
8. Indigofera Scarf – Anthropologie $68.00

 

Which is your favorite? I can’t seem to decide. :)
