Banana Republic & Mad Men<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love the clothes almost as much as I love the show!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s face it – who doesn\u2019t want to look like they just stepped off the set of Mad Men? Short of perfectly coiffed hair, Banana Republic has made it a lot easier for you to channel your inner Betty, Joan or Peggy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Designed in collaboration with Mad Men\u2019s Emmy-winning Costume Designer Janie Bryant, the inspired collection offers nearly 65 pieces for both men and women. The women\u2019s line features dresses, cardigans, scarves and heels; the men\u2019s collection features suits, sweaters, pocket squares, neck ties and fedora hats.<\/p>\n

I stopped by my local BR to check out the collection myself. Many pieces were already sold out, but there were some pieces that I really loved. The leopard print trench<\/strong>, the silk spot print neck scarf, and the pearl brooch necklace<\/strong>. I didn’t like the begonia print dress, the lace shell and the lace dress in the collection.<\/p>\n

I would have happily purchased the houndstooth dress (I loooooove houndstooth)<\/strong>, the bracelet sleeve jacket and pencil skirt (there\u2019s nothing sexier than a form-fitting pencil skirt in my book to showcase that booty)<\/strong> and wanted to see if the Betty dress was as flattering as it was pictured in the advertising, but, sadly, they weren\u2019t around for me to look at.<\/p>\n

Luckily you can pick up similar vintage type items at vintage stores like Angel in lower Manhattan. <\/p>\n

I just got a Mad Men inspired fall season red suit by Tahari with bracelet sleeves and a high collar that would go great with long black leather gloves.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This limited-edition line won\u2019t be available for long, so get shopping!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Until next week (and my next obsession)!<\/p>\n

Hey does anyone remember the candy LUCKY STRIKE? They came in a box like cigarettes and were white sugary sticks. Times have really changed!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

PS Ter thanks so much for the Mad Men gift set. What a thoughtful surprise! I especially love love love the book! You are the best! XOXO<\/em><\/strong>
