January Highs&Lows ;




Hey y'all! This month we've become desperately obsessed with three luxe pieces: Khloe K's Phillip Lim 3.0 poncho, Frye's Melissa Button boot, and Abercrombie and Fitch's Kaela cardi. Although these items are fabulous, they aren't very budget friendly so LGG gathered our most loved dupes! Keeping it neutral as we transition into pre-spring is going to allow us to bring these apparels back into play dans printemps- which we will have another post on shortly! This is a great time of year to stock up on winter items as most stuff is on sale, like a "You-Survived-the-Holidays" present to us all! On to the goods:
Khloe's poncho look can be recreated for under a hundred bucks!
1. Dolan Square Hoodie, $97, shopbop.com
2. Bebe Oversize Zipper Hoodie, $40, bebe.com
3. UO Neue Claes Hooded Sweatshirt, $40, urbanoutfitters.com
Leather riding boots are a staple for every woman's closet. Get the look without breaking the bank.
1. Type Z Sharris Brown boot, $160, zappos.com
2. Miz Mooz King boot, $120, nordstrom.com
Cozy cardi's are perfect for transitional seasons because they allow the option of layers! For the perfect beige I always aim to find a "bone" color, which makes it easy to throw on with anything- black skinnys, a teal tank, a floral purple skirt- beige goes with it all!
1. Forever 21 cardigan, $25, forever21.com
2. UO BDG Fisherman Cardigan, $68, urbanoutfitters.com

Whether your heading back to class or going to see a movie with the beau these looks just work! They are classic everyday go-to staples that are worth the investment- especially when you find the price that's right for you! Always here to help,

Love,
Gibson Girls

Hooking Up With Lagerfeld

This was easy to see coming, as she has become the "it girl" of the moment and muse for designers everywhere. Blake Lively, star of Gossip Girl, has just officially been named the new face of Karl Lagerfeld's handbag line for Chanel. The campaign was even shot by Lagerfeld himself at the Chanel headquarters in Paris. The two have been raving about each other and thier love and taste in fashion for months, it was only natural that Lively became the new face of the brand. She has expressed her excitement to E! News, WWD and several others saying "A dream come true is an understatement." You will be able to see the much anticipated ad when magazines hit stands this April. In the mean time, Im sure we will see Lively trotting around town and down red carpets in, none other than, Chanel.




Love,
