the style file: Madeline

In this new weekly feature, we'll profile real women with busy jobs and even busier lives who strive to master their demanding schedules all the while looking stylish. They'll share their secrets to getting ready (and looking good!) on the go, the must-have items in their closets and the June Ruby styles they're lusting over. Let's get started with Madeline, a fashionable foodie who writes the blog Greens and Jeans!

name: Madeline Rake

age: 26

hometown: Lawrence, KS currently living in Philadelphia, PA

blog: Greens and Jeans - it's all about living a healthy life and looking fabulous along the way!

occupation: field service representative for SmartWool and Timberland (I travel a lot and talk about wool and boots!)

describe your style in 3 words: Classic with a twist (okay, that's four, but does "a" really count?!)

how long does it take you to get ready in the morning?: Anywhere between 3 and 30 minutes depending on how much time I spend standing in my closet staring at my clothes before I decide what to wear.

finish this sentence: i never leave the house without...Sunglasses! Besides having the most light sensitive eyes ever, I'm pretty sure that sunglasses can make an outfit.

what's your closet must-have for any woman on the go?: A well-fitting blazer. No her piece can instantly class up any outfit. Bonus - my favorite cashmere blazer is warm enough to wear as a jacket through most of the fall!

fall trend you are lusting over: Wide leg pants. I love my skinny jeans as much as any girl, but I'm anxious to find a pair of fabulous high waist, wide leg pants that work on my 5'2 frame!

the three items from june ruby you'd most like to own: the Plenty Zip Cardigan (it's on sale! bonus!), the Mariana Sam Shoe (I can even imagine pairing these with black or grey tights for fall), and the Cynthia Steffe Georgia Dress.
