2 Cute Loft Tops I'll Inevitably Buy

UPDATE! BOUGHT! They're great. The striped blouse is so light and slouchy. GET IT.

I should really just stop procrastinating and buy these, right? Procrastinating is bad!

I love a flowy blouse, and I love Loft. That's obvious.

Binge Basics: Loft Gold Anorak

($99, Loft)

It's an unwritten law that you're gonna need an army or safari-inspired jacket this fall. And it should be law that you own this gold/ mustard Loft anorak. By nature, anoraks are pretty asexual, but by design, the tailoring on Loft's version is fairly feminine, with a slimming cut. Once again, sold!

Oh, and PS, I got Loft's cotton poplin jacket in olive green:

($29.99, Loft)

It's sold out online -- BOOO -- but maybe try and track it down in the store? Or, manage your own expectations and get this stone/ grey jacket instead.

You're REALLY Gonna Need This Nautical Striped Blazer From LOFT

UPDATE: Check out LOFT's nautical striped blazer in all of its glory!

($98, Loft)

Last night I went to the LOFT Holiday 2010 presentation, and while I liked what they were doing with subtle updates to winter classics -- the preppy tweed skirt below with a black silk overlay -- I left with one piece on my YES PLEASE list. The nautical striped wool blazer above. Is it a Givenchy's Springl 2010 blue and white striped blazer? Who can say? But I love the idea of warm wool jacket in a theme usually associated with warmer months. (More cool Breton striped tops here at Dreamhaute.)

And check out that Karen Walker/ Coco Chanel-inspired Breton striped top with a cute floral overlay. Cute on its own or layered under a blazer or safari jacket. I'm into it!

Oh, and speaking of safari jacket, I've been meaning to pick up Loft's safari jacket for forevs. Laziness alone has been a barrier to my owning that jacket:

($79.50, LOFT)

Seriously though, put aside your Mom-jeans conception of LOFT, because they're really stepping their game up (if you're not getting a J.Crew-y vibe already.) And they LOVE a sale. I got an amazing pair of black pegleg harem pants that look like Vanessa Bruno/ Phillip Lim for like $19. They practically paid me to buy them. Point is: LOFT = LOVE

More Reasons To Love The LOFT: Fabs Necklaces For Under $50!

Remember when I had a conniption, but in the GOOD way, about how Ann Taylor Loft -- BTDubs, it's now just The Loft -- totally came back after falling off? Okay, so here are two more reasons The LOFT went from bad to rad:

What is there NOT to love about this amazing clear gem statement necklace? Not a damn thing, my friend. Not. a. thing.
