fashion lookbook: navy + tangerine

It started out last weekend at American Apparel.  I found this navy bag with a 

tangerine zipper. I saw myself using it as an everyday carryall that would fit my 

iPad + more, folding it over for a cool clutch in the evening.

It didn't take long to pull this group together from there. 

Did I mention that 'tangerine tango' is Pantone's color of the year?

I find it's about the mix in my wardrobe and home.

Spending a little more on one thing and mixing it with less expensive bargains. 

 Some items cost a bit more, but many are a steal 

(under $3 for the bracelet, not quite $11 for the jeans!).

1.  Bi Color Fedora, Tory Burch

2.  Memento Letter Charm, Madewell

3.  Striped Smocktop, Madewell

4.  Ling Sleeve Breton Top, Boden

5.  Wood Bead Bracelet, City Buddah

8.  Medium Leather Carryall Pouch, American Apparel

10.  Streetside Sandal, Madewell

A great pair of sunglasses and a bag that goes beyond the beach costs a bit more. 

Pair it up with a beach coverup form Target and you're ready to be waterside!

2.  Rickey Bikini, Anthropologie
3.  Converse One Star Adria Swim Coverup, Target

Love these for the men.

bedroom makeover

I just redecorated a bedroom at home.  

In a weekend with a gallon of paint, shopping trips to Target, 

World Market + Anthropologie, the room came together.  

It's now cozy and full of guests.

My daughter Ruby, exhausted, riding in the cart full of goods.

Before.

art + exersaucer living in harmony

 Who could have thought a plastic baby entertainment center could look so good?

Next to fabulous art, it works!

Take it from the famously stylish and hip Novogratz family of 7 kids 

to pair an exersaucer with great art.

color collections: slice of citron

Citron can be bright, but used in small doses 

it can add just the right punch to your home or wardrobe.

 Ahhhh so soothing...but love that intense color!

 It can turn a little neon!

I (Heart) Fashion: Introducing....Fashion finds I love.

My close friends and family have called me Jojo for years. Now I want to share my personal fashion finds with you on a regular basis - through Jojo’s Fashion Lookbook.  
Each month I’ll highlight either what I am wearing now, a peak inside my closet 
(or what I want to be there!), or just modern style trends that inspire me. 
Keep your eyes and wallets peeled for my monthly fashion advice 
to give you the looks I love. 

February - this month - yes it’s Valentine’s Day, but it’s not 

Red or Pink, and no it’s not Summer but Watermelon is here, 

mixed with Black and White and Stripes all over!

I'm traveling south to Florida later this month...this is what I would love to pack!

The ultimate watermelon.
