* Big Stripes and Big News *


khaki mens  pants and striped  shirt with wooden wedges


What I'm Wearing
* Black and white striped t-shirt from Forever 21 ages ago. It actually had a very unflattering elastic band along the bottom but I finally just cut it off ...and really, like it much better. ...last seen here.
* Victoria's Secret khaki pants ...I bought these a few sizes too big so they'd fit like men's pants. They're so comfy I can barely stand it! ...last seen here
* Ralph Lauren cognac belt ...I love the cognac belt with this because it pops but also matches the wood soles of my shoes. I thrifted this a few months ago and honestly had no idea it was Ralph Lauren until I put it on this morning.
* Steve Madden wooden platform wedges ...for the height of these wedges, they are ridiculously comfy. I love that in the front they have a more flatform feel but really, they're arched. I grabbed them in blush too b/c they were such a great deal, having no idea I'd love them so much!
* Tiffany lock necklace, various silver bangles, my leather lanyard bracelet in cognac & gray, hearts & hoops earrings from the Farmer's Market a few years ago and various stacking rings, some vintage
* Chloe "Belladone" gray sunglasses

If you follow me on Twitter you may have seen my tweet the other day hinting that I had some "exciting news" to share ...and a few of you thought I was pregnant. Apologies, it's not that kind of exciting news. It was my fault though, to tease you like that. But this is more along the lines of career news ...and of really fun news. And I, for one, am very excited and proud to announce that . . .

I am the new Style Section Editor at BlogHer

I've just barely begun so I'm still learning the ropes {and we're working on some awesome updates} but I'm on the lookout for fantastically stylish blogs and posts from all of YOU to feature over there on a weekly basis. Categories include, but are not limited to, Fashion, Shopping, Design & Decor, Beauty, and of course, Hair! Each week I'll have a featured blogger on the right sidebar and this week it's Jenna Sais Quois ...an adorably chic and sweet blog you HAVE to check out! This week's features also include the most luxurious pajamas a girl could wrap her curves in, Royal Wedding Hat madness, and an AMAZINGLY EASY letter pendant lamp DIY!. I'll also be featuring a weekly video {lower right side}, and this week, it's Vintage Style Inspiration: Color Blocking ...with a little help from Lionel Richie in 1983. Come check it out!

Oh holy moly CONGRATS!!!! YAY! What exciting news and you are so very, very worthy of such an esteemed position. I can't wait to see what you bring to BlogHer!

(And you look as gorgeous as ever today, dahhhling--I'm always so jealous of those that can wear bold stripes without looking like the stripes are wearing them--you pull it off flawlessly!)

Honey, big congrats! I have to say, I´ve been following you for years and you were the first official ¨style blogger¨I read. Ahem, slave to fashion I am not. That being said, what drew me to you was that your closet seemed attainable, you find unique ways to rewear your pieces, and of course, your diy´s are always unique. I love your style and creativity, but what you have that I think a lot of girls do not is accessibility. Maybe it´s because you write about your personal life, too? Not sure, I just know that you don´t seem like a crazy, psycho fashion b.i.t.c.h. You just seem like a cool girl with great syle. So anyways!!! My point being, you derserve this job!! Best of luck and can´t wait to read more. xoxojess

This outfit is amazing. I love the oversize chinos, they look super comfy.
Congratulations on the new position. Just read your article of the bucket bag. I liked the history of the piece and all the different versions that we are able to buy. Now it's just deciding which one to get for myself (:

Hello Mrs. Editor! Congrats for the new job! I'm so sure you'll do a great job, just like you pulled off perfectly the "men's" pants, wish I could do it, but I can't help to look wider and fat in general, you on the other hand look fabulous without looking like you tried too hard!

Chicago Mom (Heather) said...

You deserve it!! You are the best fashion blogger out there (in my opinion)...

I have a hair question for you. If you were going to a formal event, how would YOU wear your hair? Up? Curled? Half up/half down?

Email me if you have time! Only if you have time though. :-) halsumdesign@yahoo.com

Kitty Stampede said...

That is SO AWESOME!!!! Congrats Pretty Lady. You must be over the moon. This gig is so you.

K.Line said...

Fabulous news M! You're going to be fabulous at that.

Kat said...

For some reason I thought you already were something important over at BlogHer (and I mean that in the truest of complimentary ways)

Also, I dig stripes, but since I'm mega petite I can never seem to get them to work right, big prints tend to dominate me...

also EVERY time you post those wedges I tell myself I need to get a pair and then forget. Hmmm...

Yesterday, my friend bought a christian louboutin pumps sale which is so beautiful, i am surprised by the design and style.People usually prefer handbags outlet, especially when they visit some coach handbags outlet.

Congrats on the new gig, gorgeous---they picked an arbiter of fantastic style, so I can imagine the outcome will be perfection! I'll have to make my google reader bust its hump a little harder with no doubt countless new blogs to read.

Looking smashing--the baby floral thrifted dress from the recent post kills me--baby floral is all I want to wear this spring. Awesome.
