Good Morning readers, if you’ve been looking for the perfect cozy, boyfriend-style plaid shirt, you’re looking at it right now!  I know I’ve styled a bunch of different plaid shirts this fall, but this one is by far the coziest and best boyfriend-like shirt. It’s a much thicker material than my Rails plaid shirts so it will definitely keep you warm, and you buy your normal size and still get the boyfriend fit. I am wearing the size 0 in these photos and as you can see it still has a long oversized fit.  You can even wear it as a light jacket with a plain tee or tank. My favorite part though is that it gives you that “borrowed from the boys” look without actually having to borrow your boyfriend or husband’s clothes. I fee like this camel coat gives off that same vibe with its boxy and masculine shape, which I love.  What are your thoughts on the “borrowed from the boys” trend? Haute or Not Haute?

By the way, these photos were taken near Central Park by George Elder during my last trip to NYC for the launch of the Jenn Bucket Bag with Gigi New York. Just thought I’d fill you in case you were wondering where those beautiful leaves came from. Unfortunately, our leaves don’t quite look like that yet!

Back in Blush!

Good Morning readers, I apologize for not posting the past two days! I was traveling back from New York on Monday and then yesterday I had the most awful sinus headache. Do any of you get those really excruciating headaches that last all day? What do you take for it that you feel works best? I would appreciate any kind of advice! Thanks!

Anyway, I’m sure you all remember the first time I wore this blush outfit a few weeks ago with the leopard clutch, statement jewelry and black pumps. This time I decided to switch things up and go for an all neutral look with the Jenn bucket bag in stone and nude booties. I also styled the two piece set with some sassy leopard pumps and a pop of color with the Madison Crossbody in wine. Which style do you like best? Before making your decision, don’t forget to check out how I styled it the first time here–> Wild Madagascar Vanilla

Good Afternoon readers and Happy Halloween! I just got to New York for the weekend to celebrate the launch of the Jenn bucket bag. In case you missed my first post about the handbag I designed with GiGi New York, you can view it here–> The Debut of The Jenn Bucket Bag. Also, make sure to check out my features interview on their site at giginewyork.com.

I still can’t believe I actually have my own handbag collaboration with such a remarkable fine leather and handbag company! Designing my own bag with Gigi New York was just a mere fantasy of mine until I got to tour the Graphic Image factory in New York this past year with the owner, Tom Glazer. It was during that tour that things quickly started to fall into place. Tom’s passion and enthusiasm for the company inspired me to get creative while we were in the place where all of the magic happens, the design room! We (A Pinch of Lovely, Kaela Rodehorst Photography & myself) got the opportunity to view all of the bright-colored new leathers for spring and summer 2015 as well as potential new handbag styles. My excitement got me a little carried away and I started describing my dream Gigi handbag design.  Much to my surprise, Tom immediately went for it and said, “Hey, let’s do it! We can do a handbag collaboration.” I just about died when I heard those words come out of his mouth, but that didn’t even compare to when I first laid eyes on the sample of what was going to be my very own handbag that would soon be available for everyone to buy. Gigi New York’s amazing team made the collaboration process a cinch for me. All I had to do was tell them exactly how I envisioned the bag and they got everything down right to the very last detail. I of course got to test everything out and make any necessary changes before it went into production.  I am so grateful to Gigi New York for this incredible experience.  It has been the opportunity of a lifetime and something I’ll never forget.

Follow along with @GigiNewYork on Instagram today! I’m taking over their account and sharing photos of my “Jenn Bucket Bag” travels in NYC to celebrate the launch of my handbag!
