Style Cabana Home- Pottery Barn Sale


There has been an overwhelming amount of requests from readers to add Home Decor entries to Style Cabana. So here it is! We will begin sprinkling in Home Decor entries here and there. Please let us know what you think.

For our first entry we'll look at Pottery Barn's new bedding collection. I normally am not a huge fan of Pottery Barn's bedding but this summer they came out with a fabulous new line of bedding. Two of my favorites are actually on sale right now! I love both looks because they are sophisticated and fresh. The Avery Organic Duvet Cover (pictured top) is a classic espresso pattern on white. It's on sale now for only $109 for Queen. http://www.potterybarn.com/products/p11376/index.cfm?pkey=csale%2Dduvets%2Dshams
The Kylie Peacock Duvet Cover (pictured bottom) is only $79 for Queen. I like it with the black and white accents and the fantastic chandelier. http://www.potterybarn.com/products/p11379/index.cfm?pkey=csale%2Dduvets%2Dshams

Great Deals: Fall Into The Gap

The Gap's holiday season collection is in stores and there are some great finds! One of my picks is the Strapless Tiered Ruffle Dress in either black or navy. It's a silk cotton blend and would be great for any holiday parties or even new years eve. At only $78 it's a great deal. Check it out at http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=42011&pid=585587

Make a Statement: J.Crew Cascading Flower Jacket

Check out the absolutely exquisite, J. Crew Collection Cascading flowers boucle Astrid jacket ($425). Although the price is a bit steep I think it is definitely worth the splurge. As it looks like a piece from a much more expensive, exclusive designer collection. I think it would look smashing at those upcoming holiday parties and can be worn even for work.

Keep in mind that things at J. Crew regularly get marked down so keep checking their website.

What Did You Wear To Vote?

So what did you wear to vote on Tuesday? Many of our celeb friends were out and about rocking the vote on Tuesday. Nicky Hilton is seen here looking preppy chic with her "I Voted" sticker, which was the trendiest accessory for the day. I think Nicky's J. Crew black wool blazer with ivory piping looks particularly fabulous. I bought the blazer last year at J. Crew for around $200. Since it was from last year you can probably find it at the J. Crew Outlet this season. You can pair it with a white v-neck (per Nicky) with jeans and high brown riding boots for a casual look or cream/khaki slacks for a business appropriate look. I like the Marc Jacobs tote she wears with it but am not a fan of the Ray Bans with such a preppy look. Either way we're glad she rocked the vote in style!

J.Crew Fall Collection


J. Crew has a fabulous collection for fall and winter. There are a lot of great pieces to wear for work and even combine with jeans for evening. I love all of the great details their clothes have. There are so many great items, I just don't know where to begin. So this week I will feature a couple different looks that you can find at J. Crew. And they have many things on sale right now.

Check out the Victorian Ruffle Blouse ($89) with Pembridge-Dot Pencil Skirt in gold ($148). This blouse is extraordinary even with a black or gray pencil skirt for work. Or pants and a cream cardigan. It also comes in black which would be fun to wear out with jeans and a couple long strand necklaces. http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Shop_By_Category/shirtstops/camisblouses/PRDOVR~99694/99694.jsp

LC Really Loves Her...Chanel Purse






While in LA a couple weeks ago I ran into LC at Hamasaku (fabulous Sushi Restaurant). She had her new fav accessory with her- the Chanel Quilted Double Flap Bag in black. Now I know that the chain straps can remind you of your grandma's purse from the 80's but it's back!

Hot Accessory: Chanel Clip


Believe it or not that is Ashley Olsen escaping the paparazzi. You can see that she's sporting a Chanel Hair Clip, which she also wore on Oprah last week. The Chanel Hair Clip seems to be a hot accessory right now. It actually looks good with a black skirt and white button up dress shirt or blouse. I know it sounds 80's but make sure to secure a bun with it, not just a ponytail or you will look 80's. Go down to your local chinatown and pick one up for $5 or you can always get it at Chanel for over $300 (which Style Cabana does not advise since it's a trend).
