Friday Fall Fashion Puzzle

October 29, 2010 8:34 am

This week for our Fall Fashion feature, I wanted to feature someone new. My friend Mary always looks so stylish and adorable so I thought Id show you one of her outfits.

We paired this adorable denim chambray tunic dress with a waist cinching belt.

This orange sweater really brightens the whole look up.

Effortless boots complete the look.

For cooler days, tights would be great with this look! Thank you, Mary!!

Don’t know if you noticed, the site has been updated a little. I hope you like the new look! Feel free to browse around.  You can see recent press for Made by Lex, see my updated About Me page, and easily navigate through all the different categories on the left hand side. As always, if you have any tips or comments for easier navigation or any features you’d like to see, please let me know! I’d love to hear your feedback!

Friday Fall Fashion Puzzle

October 1, 2010 4:22 pm

Thigh-high socks. I’m falling in love with them. They’re one more great layering piece especially fashionable this fall.

Here are some of my favorite looks on the runway:

Inspired by some of those, here is my  fall outfit for this Friday. (AND, I’d like to preface this and say that while I was photographing this I was watching two of my girls and holding a screaming baby. So things are cut off, proportions are weird… forgive me)

I wanted to incoroprate another one of my favoirtes for fall-  leather and lace. So for day I have on my sister- black leggings (American Apparel), thigh high socks (Target), a cream lace tank (some boutique in Boston), my favorite Donni Charm Scarf, my ‘leather’ jacket that we added the bomber collar to, and my Lucia purse and leather boots. It’s a great multi-layered  look for daytime.

The thigh-highs add so much to make it interesting.

Now this look could easily go into night. Just add some heels, in this case my favorite leopard wedges from Guess that I’ve had for 5 years and a textured clutch. (Find the DIY here!)

So, what do you think? Are you on the thigh-high sock train with me?

Fall Fashion Puzzle

September 24, 2010 8:17 am

I wanted to start a new feature that I’m going to post about on Fridays. I love the season of Fall and I love dressing for Fall. There are endless options but I think a lot of times we get stuck in the same ruts of the season. It’s easy to just throw on the same sweater and jacket and not think about the layering options of it all. You can change your look so easily by doing more layering and of things you already have. To me, styling for Fall is like putting together a puzzle. So I hope you’re inspired by this new series to try new things that you may already have.

I also really wanted to use things I already had to show you. I love places like polyvore, but most of the items are designer items that are waaay out of my budget. I wanted to inspire you to work with what you have, maybe adding a few new fall items, but just being re-inspired not tempted for more more more.

So let’s begin! Today’s outfit is a striped top, black blazer, a long black skirt, boots, a bright bag and a large knit scarf. (The scarf is almost like a collar. I wear it ALL the time!)

I love the bold watch with this outfit and the pop of the bright bag. Without the redbag, I think this would be quite boring.  I also have a striped tank layered under the striped top. it elongates it without adding a totally different element.


I looovvee boots with a long skirt.


I like all the different layers of this look. You could easily have just done with top with the skirt, but it wouldn’t have looked as interesting or as stylish.Have a great weekend!!

Daily Wear 5.9.10

May 10, 2010 1:48 pm

Here’s what I wore for mother’s day yesterday.

Forever 21 black blazer

Forever 21 grey cowel neck sweater. Perfect down or as a little hoodie. I love hoodies.

Black Leggings

It’s also the perfect sweater for hiding in. If it gets cold. Or you’re hiding form your kids because they’re driving you crazy.  (Did I just say that? It’s been one of those days….)

And the star of my show are these leather boots I scored at the Thrift store for $8.

Hope you had a lovely weekend!!!
