Real talk. I’ve had to google how to spell chinoiserie about eight times today and I still have no idea how to pronounce it. But I am LURVING the style.

Rebecca Taylor started catching my attention with the blue and white chinoiserie look last spring, and the obsession has only gotten worse. Here’s how some stylish chicks are sporting chinoiserie style + how you can steal get the look yo’self.

I, too, am planning on ruffling some feathers this NYE and am only sliiightly worried about the over-the-top-ness for a house party. Solution? Throw on a chic black boyfriend blazer to tone things down.

This is actually the kind of Pinterest-only look I wish I could strut out with on a Tuesday afternoon, but I suppose a New Year’s Eve fiesta is the more appropriate locale.

Geneva actually MADE this sparkly gold maxi skirt of my dreams, but for those of us who panic at the word “sew,” I’ve included a couple of coughstoreboughcough options below.

If you’re anything like me, it’s too easy to get caught up in a good deal, so I need all the help I can get not to overspend. Anyway, here are the links for the week. Enjoy!
