so loving....heidi klum's laid back mommy chic

Another celeb with a hairstyle I adore. Her laid back style while out with her brood is something that I could actually see myself wearing.

Boyfriend cardi with jeans and topped off with a similarly shaded scarf...perfection.

Here's two options that are easier on the wallet, cause you know her stuff costs way more.

Forever 21 V Neck Sweater Cardigan ($17.50)

Urban Outfitters Pash Like Scarf ($12.99)

a little obsessed with her style...lauren conrad

Welcome to a new feature here at a little bag obsessed...A Little Obsessed with Style. This feature will give me the chance to introduce to you the celebs whose style I'm dying over this week and also introduce a look that I'm loving that week.

My first is Lauren Conrad.

Now, I know that many, many people have something to say about her...generally negative...especially when it comes to her style.

But I happen to adore it.

She's casual chic...which is perfect for a suburban mom like myself. Her clothing choices are something that you could find in your local department store and it won't cost you a bundle to recreate them for yourself.

This look is actually something that I'm loving right now.

Big scarf wrapped around my neck. An easygoing white tee (long or short sleeves) that hits at my hips. Skinny jeans and a great jacket that hits a little below my waist.

The ballet flats, oversized sunglasses, and the Chanel bag totally complete the look.

This is a photo of her when her hair was shorter, in the current longer bob look. J'adore it and I'm instantly inspired to grow my chin length bob out immediately.

tory burch anya huarache sandals

Have I lost my mind? Am I insane, or are these not the cutest shoes for Spring and Summer? Pictured them paired with slim jeans, chic shorts, and the breeziest of shorter dresses and/or skirts.

Love them.

They come in a gold metallic and a safe brown, but I'm kinda adoring these (obv).

bags under $100 - collin satchel

Honestly...it kills me when women want to go designer and buy from a kiosk or the street corner.

For one...you aren't getting the real thing. Period.

Secondly...however much money you spent on that bag isn't worth it...guaranteed it'll eventually fall apart and you can't take it back or get it repaired.

And let's not even get into every shady under-dealings that those bags represent.

You don't have to spend a million dollars to get a great bag.

Case in point...this Collin Satchel by Bakers Shoes is only $45 on sale.

It's that great pop of color and a fab bag in one.

To me it has a Rebecca Minkoff vibe going for it. Love how you can carry it in hand or in the crook of the arm.

Perfect for fall and beyond.

travel chic looks with who what wear tv

Love the idea of traveling, but have absolutely no clue what-so-ever how to pull of a chic travel look?

Then check out Who What Wear and their little snippet on traveling for comfort and style...







I'm totally loving the second look...especially the gorgeous DKNY Cable Stitch Shrug($275).

The whole look is just me.

Head on over to whowhatwear.com for more info on this and other fabulous fashion looks.

marc by marc jacobs karly silk dress

I adore this dress.

Love the idea of going with opaque tights and the black ankle boot.

I'd probably throw in a black leather jacket to toughen it up.

bags under $100 - kathy van zeeland metallic satchel

This bag combines three things that I love.

One is it's of-the-moment bronz-y metallic and sorta crinkly patent finish.

Gorge.

Then you have the multi-handled bag aspect that's so perfect for right now and allows you to carry this a boatload of ways too.

The last thing I love is the price...it's only $99 over at Victoria's Secret.

botkier gladiator snake-embossed satchel

This is metallic done right.

No fuss. No muss.

No gaudy color.

Just something that looks divine, lived in, and will go with everything in your wardrobe.

Love this.

a little explanation...sort of

I'm going to be cutting back a lot here on postings.

Mainly because between this blog, my other blog Beauty in Real Life, and my family...I just don't have the time to dedicate myself to frequent postings.

I'm hoping that once preschool starts for Little L I'll have more time.

We'll see.

For now, I'm not going to make promises on 2 or 3 or more postings a week. When I'm able to, I'll post.

Just wanted to explain this to anyone who might be out there checking up on my little blog.

tory burch baby bag

Hmmmmm...not bad overall styling of the bag.

Just not loving the LOVE print all over it.

Maybe in a solid fabric with a contrasting trim?

I don't know why designers can't figure out that some new moms don't necessarily want cutesy patterns all over everything they use.

Is it just me that feels that way?
