Pretty in Pixie

Chopping all of your hair off takes guts as for a lot of women, their hair can become sort of like a security blanket.  While I admit I’m not quite ready to take the plunge myself, I’m feeling inspired by these pixie haired beauties.

Hobo International Bags

Founder Toni Ray took a risk and it paid off in a big way!  In 1991 she cashed in her life savings and took off for NYC with her daughter and now son in law in tow to sell the very first Hobo collection.

Far from it’s humble beginnings, it has since blossomed into a multi million dollar company that WWD (aka the bible of fashion) has even dubbed one of the country’s most “fun and funky” accessories brands.  Talk about a compliment!!   And a well deserved one at that…..  these are truly amazing bags.  Each one is handcrafted and it shows in the details.

Pick up a copy of Instyle, Lucky or People magazine and you’re likely to find one of Hobo’s designs featured as the new “IT” bag and for good reason – their designs are spot on!  Keeping up with trends while still remaining timeless. 

The perfect balance of style and practicality come together in the crossbody bag (my favorite!) sans strap makes for a cute clutch for going out or attach the strap and wear it across your person when you don’t feel like lugging a bag around.

Sweater Dress to Impress!

 

 

I have fond memories of one very special blue sweater dress that I wore the hell out of somewhere between the ages of 8 and 10.  It was given to me by my great Aunt and I absolutely loved that thing.   Well eventually sweater dresses went out of style and that dress probably went off to Goodwill.  Just like everything else though, they’ve come full circle and I’m itchin’ to get my hands on one.  Maybe even a blue one in honor of Aunt Betty…..

Rachel Pally for Target

I’m a long time fan of Ms. Pally.  (Just check out this post!)  All of her pieces are made from modal, which is butter soft and super luxurious.  However, a price tag often comes with that luxury…..

Well lucky us because the talented designer has created a dress exclusively for Target!  A beautiful, plum floral frock that is not only wallet friendly ($79.99)  but can be worn a variety of ways.   Rock it as a skirt, halter, or go strapless.   Being a person who dresses to suite her mood, this whole concept really appeals to me.  Oh, and the fact that it’s Rachel Pally doesn’t hurt either.

Get one before they’re gone!
