Trump Style

Earlier this week, Haley of Cadigan Junkie posted shoes from the Ivanka Trump collection. I immediately feel head over heels...or should I say, "head over this wedge"! Seriously, I am doing everything in my power not to buy it, but I am so, so tempted!

Ivanka Trump Women's Halyn Wedge Sandal $150 (on sale for $99)

It has a similar look to this Tory Burch wedge, which is also on sale, but still more expensive. And, I actually like the Ivanka Trump wedge more.

Camelia High Wedge Espadrille $195 (on sale for $136.50)

Now back to Ivanka Trump. We've blogged about her before (here), and since then she has been busy as ever building her empire in true Trump style. Not only is Ivanka a member of the Trump International business team, but she also has a fashion and jewelry collection, is a published writer and appears on The Apprentice along side her father. Oh, and did I mention she has a 10 month old baby. She's one busy lady! 

Bottom line, she is a fantastic role model for women, and of course, she does it all with grace, composure and mostly importantly style.  Here are some of my favorite looks. 

She wore this fantastic dress from Alloy (it was only $45) to the Inglorious Bastards premiere back in 2009. I blogged about it way back when, and now I am kicking myself for not buying it! 

Here is a recent photo from her Facebook page. This kind of photo makes her seem more "normal" like the rest of us!

This photo is from 2007 and is a perfect example of how Ivanka's classic style stands the test of time.

In Carolina Herrera at the Celebrity Apprentice Finale. Love the dress, the hair and the makeup!

This is NY street chic at its finest!

Splurge vs. Save

You may remember last year when I posted my summer wish list that I was totally bananas over this bauble necklace from Oliphant Design. I ended up getting it for my birthday in September, and I absolutely love it! 

Oliphant Design Turquoise Bauble Necklace $158

It also comes in this fabulous coral color. 

Yesterday when browsing my blog roll, I came across this photo posted by Haley of Cardigan Junkie. 

At first glance I thought, "she also has the same necklace", but when looking at her photo credit I realized got her necklace from Peacock Plume and for only $40! Well done Haley! 

Peacock Plume Mint Julep Necklace $40

So if you are looking to save over $100, check out Peacock Plume for a nearly identicle version. Just don't tell the folks at Oliphant Design! 

Feature Friday - Cardigan Junkie

Today for Feature Friday we've got a special guest post from Haley over at Cardigan Junkie! Thanks for sharing your love for cardigans with us! I know C & C's readers will love not only today's post, but adding your blog to their daily lineup! So Haley, take it away!!!!

Hello! I’m Haley from Cardigan Junkie, and I’m so excited that Katie invited me to take part in Feature Friday. I love Katie and Regan’s taste in clothes (and cardigans, of course) and share a similar style. When asked to put together a post to show what my blog is about, I thought long and hard about what to write, before I decided to just do what comes naturally and play around with how to get the most wear out of the workhorse of my closet – the basic cardigan:

Feature Friday-Cardigan Junkie

Since I often feature other blogs and bloggers, I thought it would be fun to use Fridays to share new blogs I've come across or to remind you of some of my long standing favorites.

This week I am starting with a blog that focuses on one of my favorite topics, Cardigans. I love anything to do with a cardigan, so when I came across the blog Cardigan Junkie, I knew it was worth sharing. Cardigan Junkie is a style blog for people who love clothes and interior design. Like me, Haley appreciates a good deal and recognizes that not everyone has a fortune to spend on looking good. Check out her blog and you won't be disappointed.

Here's a chic outfit she put together on Polyvore...love the Cardigan!
