Style- Oh, Yes!
April 22, 2009
What are your styleobsessions? You’ve seen quite a few of my own inspirations and I love to keep my collections growing. Everything from unique and creative dresses and accessories to beautiful shoes- you name it! We all love our style companions, especially discovering the items that meet the best of our personalities.
It is with that in mind that I am incredibly excited and honored to announce the Pretty and Fabulous sponsorship from YesStyle!
They are my latest obsession, and with great and fabulous reason; there is something for everyone and for all of my moods and attitudes. For the times I am feeling old hollywood glamor to the times I am feeling like I am five again, they have the style that meets my needs. Not to mention a pretty and fabulous price, very affordable with items ranging from around $20 up to the bigger designers. I love it and cannot wait for you to take a look and see for yourself. I want to know what you like the most.
The Accessories section is like a candy store- sometimes very literally! With designer brands like “Fit-To-Kill” and “FairyTales” it is like a fashion wonderland! Even the names are spectacular.
Because they have so many styles available, this is also a great place for getting gifts for that finicky fashinista- they are bound to have something clever that caters to their individual personality. I already have things in mind for some of my friends that I know they are going to love and be the envy at every party they attend!
Here are some looks I am loving right now, one from Dodostyle and another adorable dress from Spring Girl, I think they are perfect for spring’s feminine image.
Sophisticated classy dresses, girly frilly looks, even casual wear with sweaters and jeans- there is a look for you and this is why I love it so much and am presenting it to you!
This is how much creative they can be- and since I am a sucker for an adorable charm bracelet, let alone candy influenced designs, check this one out:
Sooo adorable, ha- very fun and girlie. You will do best to take a look through their styles and see what you love best, you will be amazed at all they have, I have such a list compiled already!
They have designer items too, and I will leave you with the one that is on my wishlist, I am seriously obsessed with this jacket… I may even drool… and admit to it! How gorgeous is this? Ah, go look and comment back to me! Much love!
Feminine Soft Curls and A Big Red Bow
April 21, 2009
So I woke up this morning feeling especially girlie and feminine, it is such a beautiful day outside perhaps it is the sunshine coming in that is inspiring me. Looking into my closet I knew exactly what I wanted to wear- a white frilly dress, and my hair in soft curls with a bright red ribbon.
I have my curls very subtle, I like them that way with this type of look. They become more noticeable in the wind or when I walk- and I like that. With my dress being very simple and white, I wanted to add a bold color into the mix and thought the red ribbon was just the thing, and still keeps true to the girlie theme I am playing with here.
I also added a little bit of a puff to the pony tail portion of this look, I rarely wear my hair half up and half down, but when I do I like the subtle puff since otherwise it can feel to flat on top. I find it keeps a beautiful balance as it transitions into the curls or waves below.
And the dress- I love a simple yet frilly dress. Love it. If it makes me want to twirl when I am wearing it then I instantly want it. It’s the child in me, and I like to keep it happy (only child, naturally).
I found this dress some time ago I believe at forever twenty one, I haven’t worn it yet this year so I am delighted to be playing in it now.
Oh, did I mention it has the most adorable pockets on the sides? What makes me love this dress in particular is that the uneven hem is longer on the sides rather than the front and back. It is just slightly different and makes it all the more unique and wonderful.
It also has a very vintage look and feel about it, as if it once belonged to an old doll or was hand made from mom.
Even the pockets are larger than normal, giving that feeling of being a child and wanting to fill them with candy! This is certainly a fun one.
Floral Prints: Attack From Spring Part II
April 14, 2009
When I was shopping at forever twenty one last week and found the incredibly bright and bold spring floral dress- it wasn’t the only one I found. I couldn’t decide which one I liked better, so I do what I always do in these situations, I bought both!
I do this often with shoes, too- especially when I find a style I *love* and feels perfect on, I’ll get all the colors available in my liking. When you love something, you have got to go for it, right?
So back to the dress, this one though very floral and colorful indeed, is much softer with a more gentle feminine feel. The splashes of purple on white are beautiful, and inspired me to even paint my nails purple to match (and wear my lavender heels, such a gentle and beautiful color).
The little rosettes at the neckline are adorable and the perfect dainty touch for the dress. It is a straight and flowy drop from there, and the print does everything else.
Simple, chic, and perfect for spring. I am loving these frilly feminine prints.
Very White With Lots Of Volume, A Marshmallow Dress
April 11, 2009
Mmmm.. marshmallows! Or marshmallow fashion I may need to say, that is certainly what I think of when I wear this dress. It is bright, white, and definitely very fluffy- a fun and playful little dress!
I bought this some time ago, back when I think Vogue had a special line for The Gap- remember the white voluminous dresses? Well this was one of them, and I adored wearing it. But once it went into the back of my closet during the winter months, I had forgotten about it. That is to say until now. It was some number of years ago but I am delighted to have discovered this dress once again.
It billows like an over-sized pillow case, but then stops short with a bow and ruffles finishing off as an adorable skirt. The short sleeves are giant puff balls, too- which I love. It may be big with volume in the core- but it still shows the arms, neck, and legs which keeps the feminine form alive. And that is also why it makes me think of a marshmallow- like a giant one with puffed sleeves and a ruffled skirt! Not a bad thing in this case, just a yummy and fun one.
Depending on how you move depends on how giant the puff of the dress will be- it moves very nicely and is incredibly comfortable. I love this dress, not a style I would wear on a daily basis but something that is delightful to wear from time to time. I love playing with silhouettes and volume, and especially with volume- balance is key. If this were a long dress, it wouldn’t work- it would then literally look like a pillow case!
But as it is now, it’s just right, playful but still feminine enough to wear and love.
And since I was wearing a white frilly dress with giant puff-ball sleeves, I couldn’t help but add an incredibly girly pink headband to go with it.
A bow, frills, puffed sleeves, and a pink headband? Definitely marshmallow sweet 
Attack Of The Spring Print Dress
April 8, 2009
Looking outside the window today it is just gorgeous, the sun is shining and there is a refreshingly cool breeze in the air- nothing too chilly, very comfortable in fact. With Easter just around the corner, I felt inspired to wear a bright and frilly spring dress.
Now, prints and floral designs can be very loud especially when on an incredibly flowy or frilly dress. Having said that, meet- the attack of the floral spring dress!
This is one of the pieces I picked up from forever twenty one, something about it caught my eye ( I know, how can you miss it?) and when I tried it on I had to have it. It is the way it moves- one of those dresses you just want to spin and twirl all day in. Very fun and very cheery. With spring and Easter in mind, this dress is just the attitude I am looking for.
Definitely a love it or hate it type of piece, but hey- sometimes its nice to feel like a child again (or maybe even just a doll).
Its a sunny day and I am having fun with it. After a couple cool days and look back into winter, I am welcoming back spring in full force.
Yellow Frilly Fashion Look
January 30, 2009
I love the delightful look and feel of a soft yellow- it is such a cheerful color and I do love to wear it. Add a little delicate texture and it is even greater.
I felt like being girlie and playful with a bit of cheer, and yellow always performs so well- so I matched up this fun frilly scarf with a simple yellow skirt of the same shade.
It is a subtle match but it does so much that way- for such a soft color it makes a bold and loud statement. It is impossible to not smile wearing it as well, which makes me love it even more.
The color itself is a very spring look, but when combined with the black I think it can pull of the winter look just fine- you are seeing more pastels come out as it is. I say if you love it and you are feeling it- then wear it. That is what counts after all.
Loving Tokyo Fashion
January 6, 2009
Well, I am at least loving this darling little dress I purchased from a Japanese boutique called Nonno. It’s terribly cute, and I love it. Describing it may sound like a disaster, but it totally works the way I see it. And you do have to see it to believe it.
Let’s look at this dress:
Brown with light blue polka dots, a blackbig bow belt, and white frilly poofy sleeves-bet you wouldn’t seek that out on your own now would you. Nor did I, however I am pleased with the find.
Its one of those moments where you wonder “why do I like this, do I like this, I think I do, I can’t stop looking at it” and while debating you end up falling in love with it.
Got to make a decision and move with it, that’s for sure especially with fashion. If you aren’t sure, no one else will be either.
So long as you love what you wear and wear what you love all is well by me.
I freaking love this bow belt, by the way. It has a little hook underneath so it is easy to match up with any other outfit, too. A black belt on a brown dress would never have been my first choice, but why not. This is how it came and was intended to be worn and I am quite enjoying it.
Gorgeous Fashion And A Touch Of Michael Kors Shoes
August 30, 2008
It’s a gorgeous day outside and I am feeling great. So much so I brought out my favorite skirt. It is a cute little number from BCBG that is layered with that frilly feel without being obnoxious- its cute and I love it.
Normally I would wear a simple black fitted top, but today I decided to dress it with a long strappless black top that just hugs over at one end. Makes it look more like a dress and it is quite comfortable as well. Its classic with a little bit of fun from the skirt and subtle shape of the top.
Seeing as it is day time, I am wearing some clunkier bootie heels in a pretty gray color from Michael Kors. In the evening I would lean more to a classic black stiletto, but for now it is an excuse to wear these. I love them, they are a new purchase and are simply gorgeous.
They are sophisticated booties in my opinion- fun but with an elegant line and beautiful color. They are clunkier than what I would normally wear with this outfit, but then again what isn’t when compared to the spiked stilettos? As with all Michael Kors shoes, they are remarkably comfortable as well as stylish. And the price I find to not be outrageous which is a nice little bonus.
It is a fun shoe and one I wish to incorporate into my wardrobe more often.
Much love, xx
