Is there something that you want to see on Chic to the Core? Something that you have and itch for and I'm not (yet) scratching? Ok, maybe the second question is a little much. But this blog is going on it's second year in January and while I haven't been super-great about updating it, my New Years resolution is to make this blog kick ass!
If you have ideas of what you would like me to post on or if you are in need of someone to pick out an outfit for you, send me an email to cocochic[at]ymail[dot]com (or a private message) and I'll get to it! Without readers this blog is just an empty hole for me to type in so I want to hear what you guys think. In return, you'll get a better Chic to the Core!
**To be honest, I'm not going to be posting like FabSugar and Fashionista. I'm just one person in my spare time, this isn't my perfession. So, I won't have a billion posts in one day, just a few a week. But they will be awesome.
Nobody wants to haul a second outfit to the office to change. Besides, with all the looks you can wear to work now, all you need is some accessories and lipstick to make your look party ready! Don't feel like you have to stick to black. Try jewel tones in emerald, mustard, garnet, and amethyst. Here are three looks at different price ranges.

December is the season to shine and sparkle. Unfortunately, that can often cost a lot. Forever21 is looking out for us in this economy because they have a ton of fabulous holiday looks.
If you're like me, you happen upon sales when you visit a store's website. Luckliy for us, the people at ShopStyle (who I've use in my blog and for personal shopping) feel the plight of secretive sales and have created something absolutely brilliant. It's called Sale Alerts and when you sign up at ShopStyle (for free, of course) you simply pick your favorite brands/designers and an alert will be emailed to you when there is a sale. How awesome is that?
You can also check out the Deals page and see all the promotions from the stores that are supported through ShopStyle. Did you know that 7 for All Mankind has a promo code for a free cosmetics case with purchase? I didn't, until I read the deals page. And you know I love a bargain!
It's the season to be jolly, merry, and oh so fashionable! Don't know what to wear? Don't worry, I've got you covered.
In an always a stylish print, this houndstooth dress would look killer with some bright purple tights. Forever21 Houndstooth Wool Dress $25
A wardrobe staple is a rich, black leather bag. With a classic shape and funky accents, this one has your name on it! Hayden-Hartnett Gemma Field Tote $525
How do you punch up the winter party blahs? With a little acid yellow, of course! MINT Jodi Arnold Silk Ruffle Tank $330
With LA having a lack of snow that I'm used to, these Kenneth Jay Lane Star Drop Earrings ($98) certainly help me feel better. Who needs snow when you have glittering stars falling from your ears?
Confession: I've been jonesing for a capelet. It's a glorified poncho with slits for your arms and completely Marry Poppins chic. Yes, please! Forever21 H81 Juliette Wool Capelet $29
Add a sexy peek of red to an all black outfit and you're ready to go. Christian Louboutin Very Croise Sandals $775
I have achieved what is a great feat in my book. Back in September I wrote a blog about what I wanted to see the actresses of Gossip Girl wear this season. And tonight, I saw it come true! Blair was wearing the fabulous Alice + Olivia dress that I picked out for her. Just call it fashion intuition. ;)
