Taylor is actually finally leaving Rachel Zoe

According to Fashionista Taylor Jacobson is finally leaving.  An email was sent out to her contacts informing them of her departure:
“After four amazing years at Rachel Zoe Corporation, I’m saddened and exhilarated at the same time to announce my departure. After much thought and consideration, I have decided to take the challenging leap to go off and style on my own.”




What I'm Reading!

Lists For Life is a new book by Rory Tahari.  I am the most ORGANIZED, list making person you will ever meet but one should never stop learning.  This book informs you how to get started on tackling life's big events such as: weddings, buying a house, raising children, and planning your funeral.  This big will help you break down big events into simple small tasks!

New Hot Nail Color

I'm a big fan of black nails in the past year I've went thru two bottles of O.P.I. Black Onyx polish and the year before that I was constantly in Lincoln Park After Dark.  I wear a lot of black and black goes with everything so I feel like it is very chic.  I started adding some color and painting my ring finger a different color like red or hot pink. 

I'm actually ready for some bold new polish changes so I was so happy when I learned that the amazing Jade Green color that we saw on the Chanel Fall 2009 Runways is now in stores.  The color was originally supposed to be blended just for the show but it created so much buzz that they decided to create it for off the runway as well.  We saw Rihanna in a similar color during Fashion Week in Paris and other celebrities are jumping onto the trend.  In the Chanel show the Jade Green color was worn not only on the nails but in the accessories as well with the black and white collection so this is something that will accent your basics.  



Sports and Fashion

Philadelphia sports are just as important to me as fashion.  I live for the Eagles and absolutely love football season.  The past two years I've gotten into baseball a lot more with the Phillies doing well and I'm falling hard for them as I did for the Eagles.  Supporting my teams and my city is a fun thing to do but I'm tired of the oversized tees and jersey so I did some internet research today to find some more "fashionable" wears and I was actually surprised to find some cute things.  I'm definitely upgrading my Jackson jersey and Victorino tee ASAP!























































All of these tees and hoodies can be found at Dick's Sporting Goods and they are all made by Reebok!

Amber Rose showing her Philly pride

Amber Rose was spotted at the Phillies World Series game last weekend showing her hometown some love.  Her and Kanye are supposedly over so maybe that is why she has been hanging around more lately.

Fabulous Deals

Shoes Shoes Shoes oh how we all love shoes .. here are two pair that are super trendy and affordable for fall and winter.

The first pair are from Baby Phat and called the Jacqueline and are only  $93 but look very similiar to a much more expensive pair that Miu Miu has.

















The second pair are from my second home Forever 21 and are only $32.80 but look very similiar to Alexandra Neel's boot that I've seen on a few celebs.


A message from Me!

Welcome to a November and a new week!  I can't believe how time is flying by.  I have been officially laid off for two months.  It is hard to explain how I feel about this.  At first I was devastated because I was lucky enough to actually LOVE my job but then I realized that maybe there was something out there that I would challenge me more, and help to make a difference.  I have stayed very optimistic and  I still am.  I have been lucky enough to be able to spend a lot of time reading, working on my blog which is something that is more fun for me than anything else, and also work with the Founder/Creator of Stylemom.com.  I saw a posting that she was looking for someone to assist her with her schedule and calendar and I thought it would seriously be a perfect opportunity.   The work is not full-time work but if it was this would be something I would love to do.  I didn't mind Corporate America but once your gone and have more freedoms you realize the life that is out there beyond suits, meetings, and corporate culture. I have realized how much I really want to be working back in Fashion.  It is honestly my true love and I feel myself yearning to be back there, although I'm still not ready to leave Philly :-( So I'm going to keep spending 5 hours a day searching over every job board possible, I'm going to continue to change my cover letters for the better, and continue to carry the same bag because I'm worried that I may not find a job by the time my unemployment runs out.  Hopefully in the end I will be able to say God closes one door to open another and hopefully that other door will be pink, and sparkly instead of grey and drab!
