Have you had a chance to check out the Faribault for Target collection yet? It may be my favorite Target collaboration to date, especially since each piece is 100% wool and made in America. I ordered this scarf (a great alternative to the ubiquitous blanket scarf that everyone has), but there are so many other great pieces I have my eye on like this throw blanket. The matching scarf in either the traditional cut or the infinity version is perfect for gift giving.

I just placed an order for this skirt, a flirty alternative to the grey flannel skirt above. It’s also much cheaper, especially if you can find one of those rare coupon codes that includes BR Picks.

It’s too early to start thinking of warm weather essentials, but the Loeffler Randall resort collection is too good to ignore. I need the gold petal slides.

If you’ve been searching for this cult classic in “Beso,” it’s finally restocked! I love the magenta “Fiore” version and I’m anxious to wear try it in candy apple red. It does dry out my lips considerably, but a generous application of Vaseline at night is usually all I need to rehydrate by morning.

October’s budget post is going up tomorrow. (So. Much. Damage.) I hope you’ll join the link up and share your wardrobe progress. Whether you’re budgeting or trying The French Wardrobe Challenge, I love learning how your curate your closet.

I’ve ridden a horse exactly one time in my life and I hated every minute of it, but that doesn’t mean I’m not fond of equestrian style so long as it stays in my closet and far, far away from the ranch. I’m kicking myself for not snagging this shirt dress with the recent Friends & Fans promotion.

Not many of us can afford a Marni necklace, but we can all snag the look of the brand’s signature ribbon-tie bauble for much less with this Topshop piece.

And, I’m happy to report that my biggest annual event (a B2B expo and the reason I haven’t been posting often over the last few weeks) went swimmingly yesterday! Months of stress and working weekends paid off and now I’m ready for another vacation. (Isn’t that always the truth?) We’re considering a long weekend in Puerto Rico, which is surprisingly affordable in November.

If there was ever a time to shop the weekly “Currently Coveting” post, this is it. Everything featured is under $175, including this gorgeous sequin skirt which is a great alternative to the one featured here. I also have my eye on this budget-friendly dress. I was originally considering it in black, but the print is awfully fun.

For those of you who don’t know about my day job, I’m an event manager for a local business magazine. We have our annual B2B expo coming up in two weeks and I’m running around like mad trying to get everything checked off my to-do list. (It’s this time of year that Dave calls me “Stressica” instead of Jessica.) Please forgive me for any unexpected silences and know that I’m finding comfort in the new Tory Burch flats I ordered on Saturday (a purchase fueled by that afternoon’s beer fest). I’m counting down the minutes until they arrive today.

Was anyone awake to see the lunar eclipse the other night? I’m bummed I missed it!
