Rachel Leigh for LOFT Cares Bow Bracelet 

First off,  Happy Halloween weekend! I am dressing up as "Jenni from the Color Block". Get it, get it, Jennifer Lopez meets this season biggest trend...GET IT. We will see if it is lost on everyone I encounter.  And don't forget to enter the Chictopia contest, I am helping to pick the winner next week!

Second, two things are exciting about the above outfit photo: 

A) I am wearing a limited edition Loft bracelet, and a portion of the proceeds from each sale go to breast cancer research (more info here).  And check out the bracelet designed by one of my faves, Jessica!  

B) I am holding my latest DIY for InStyle magazine, a Prada inspired painted clutch. I must say I have been wearing this bad boy EVERYWHERE, and it was a mainstay during Fashion Week.  These bags are honestly so easy to paint, and they always get a ton of attention. So if you see a color combo, runway look, or celeb outfit you love, I encourage you to translate it to a pattern, trace on to a bag, and do-it-yourself!
