Although most people would probably consider me a girly-girl, I am also a big sports fan - especially professional football. The Indianapolis Colts are my fave team (8-0 tonight, yippee!), and although I'd love to show my support for them, I really don't want to wear a dorky sweatshirt or oversized jersey.
Thankfully there are more and more cute female-friendly team products out there these days at NFL Shop, including this adorable $39.99 Field Flirt Tunic from Reebok. Makes me look forward to the next game day!

Most of us probably won't ever own a Chanel evening gown or quilted handbag (which is totally OK, btw), but there's no doubt that the brand is incredibly influential in the fashion world. The company was created by a woman named Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel back in 1909, which is pretty cool when you think about how few ladies were even attempting to run businesses back then.
I just saw the biopic Coco Before Chanel starring Audrey Tautou, and it reinvigorated my interest in learning about Mademoiselle Chanel. I found this little book called The Gospel According to Coco Chanel: Life Lessons from the World's Most Elegant Woman, and I'm gonna give it a whirl.

There are so many great affordable places to shop these days, and it seems like almost every store now is stocked with super-cute things (or am I maybe just a shopaholic?). I have been browsing through places like Charlotte Russe, Mandee, and Wet Seal - and it seems like they've all stepped up their retail game a bit.
Do you have a favorite store right now?

November's here, and for a lot of us that means it's time to bundle up. One of the key layering pieces this season will definitely be a plaid flannel shirt, and although some of them can be pretty pricey, you can also find a nice version for not that much money.
For example, if you want to shell out big bucks for a designer version like this $245 Cohen Button Back Plaid Shirt from Elizabeth & James (pictured, near right) you can, but there's also something like this $29.50 Lily Slim Fit Woven Flannel from Nollie.
