travel-hacks-today-show-kathie-lee-and-hoda Last week I made my third appearance on the Today Show, but it was my first time appearing alongside Kathie Lee and Hoda. I always love their energy and was excited to stand alongside this duo.And anytime I can combine two loves {fashion and travel}, it's always a good thing! This particular segment was all about jet setting in style and travel hacks {similar to my how to pack a carry-on post}.From convertible fashion and accessories to the must haves that make your flight as comfortable as possible, I shared the affordable items you absolutely need. If you missed the segment, check it out {and some behind the scenes photos!} below. Also, I'm sharing details on the romper I wore, since I received so many requests!

cubicle-chic-what-to-wear-on-thanksgiving-comfortable-thanksgiving-day-outfit While everyone is talking about family, friends and food, don’t forget about the fashion of Thanksgiving! Well, it's more about wearing something fashionable and comfortable on Thanksgiving. You might be tempted to just slip on a big shirt and any pair of pants with serious stretch. But I'm here to tell you to step away from the elastic waistbands.This week's Cubicle Chic is all about Thanksgiving outfits that are stylish and breathable. These are perfect turkey day looks or for the day after when you're heading to the office with a full belly!

Loehmann's, department store, discount department storeFashion Week is officially over in New York City and that means we know what to items will be hot for fall. We've seen a ton of the trends already {leather, fur, velvet, etc.} but the upcoming season has a few hot pieces that will inject serious style in to your wardrobe.

Loehmann's is known for their discount designer prices {up to 65 percent off retail!} and you can actually shop right now for spring and summer items that incorporate fall's upcoming trends.

Last year, the it color was oxblood. Though the name is absolutely horrible, the color is gorgeous. And it looks like we'll see more oxblood and deep berry hues. It was on every runway from Narciso Rodriguez to Anna Sui to Diane von Furstenburg.
And it's easy to incorporate this look with some picks from Loehmann's.

This weekend I did something a little different...I went thrifting on a weekend. I typically go during the week, on a day off or on my lunch break, so I can avoid massive crowds. But I was pleasantly surprised that the Salvation Army was practically empty. Well, not empty, there were about a dozen people. I normally visit the Salv {46th St. between 10th and 11th} on Wednesday when most clothing is 50 percent off, but on this Saturday visit, all blue ticket items were half off.I didn't have to deal with a crowd and I walked away with great items. Check out my finds: tons of color and a brand spankin' new pair of BCBG pants {originally $188 for less than 10 bucks!}.I love that the store now has a small rack designated for vintage finds.
