Pretty Peachy & A Beautiful Shoe
October 24, 2008
It has been rainy these past few days, but something different has come about it this time- a crisp coolness is now officially in the air. It feels slightly like winter- enough to be pleasant and comfortable.
This means I can bring out the wraps, furs, tights, and other fashionable items which have been patiently waiting in my closet.
I collect random cute accessories as I find them, and when it comes to winter accessories I tend to put them away until the season arrives- not thinking too much into my wardrobe just yet.
So now that it is cool and I am able to brings such items out, I was anxious to finally wear this cashmere and wool wrap with the little bunny fur balls. Cashmere, wool, a delicate pink peach color I love, and fur- the perfect combination for me of what I love in fashion! So when I took this out I remembered I had a skirt of the same color that would go perfectly with it- add lace and a bow in the same shade- fashion perfection.

I don’t think I could have planned such a perfect match- I am quite pleased with the results.
I love how things work out that way! The look comes together as completely girly, classy, sophisticated, feminine and absolutely glamorous.
Now… about those shoes..
I do love a haute shoe, and I think these are gorgeous. Black and shiny with all the right curves- these are a classic fun shoe by Marciano from Guess. I couldn’t resist but indulge in these.
They have the cute allure of a Mary Jane but all the glamor of a high heel. The little curve from beneath the toes which are rounded and gold buckle of the strap separate it from other black pumps, keeping it unique and interesting.
These shoes stand out from a distance and can really vamp an otherwise ordinary outfit. I am having lots of fun with them and am looking forward to incorporating them more into my wardrobe.
I Never Thought I Would Do This Fashion Nightmare
September 4, 2008
Oooooh, yes- so much for never. It all happened accidentally, and it would almost have to.
Its one of those 80′s looks of the past that is so laughable- my fiance insisted I try on these ridiculous jeans so that we may laugh at them together. We couldn’t believe they had so many acid washed jeans on display- it was such a joke we had to partake. And the joke’s on me apparently.
I totally like them- I mean I actually like these jeans. I NEVER thought I would say or admit these words, but these are a cute pair of jeans- darn them. It wasn’t until I had them on that I came to this realization. And by no means am I going to look for more or encourage them to return- but this particular pair.. darn their cuteness.
Even the buttons at the bottom are kind of cute to me now. And I am not a jean person to begin with, but these fit me like a dream. I couldn’t pass them up.
Ugh, okay but on an actually current and happy to
indulge upon fashion note- another killer top from Richard Chai has been added to my wardrobe (with the jeans no less).
It has extra long sleeves and is slightly open in the front from the top and bottom- with a low neckline and a high center line. I like how it flows out but still feels comfortable and fitted. It allows for movement- both functional and for show, and it moves lovely.
The little buttons on the shoulder are a nice touch, too. Again with the detail, I am quite pleased.
Alright- I’ve admitted to taking pleasure in my fashion crime, and even brought something nice to make up for it. Think what you want but I love it. Maybe the top helped me pull it off- I don’t know but I’m doing it.
Wonderland In Spring
April 21, 2008
It is a wonderland of pretty and perhaps one for the dreamworld for now; I cannot help but reflect upon Dior’s fantasy rings. The name alone says extravagant, and I cannot help but admire it.
The rings are quite expensive, and their materials warrant the price. It isn’t something I have at the moment, but that won’t stop me from acquiring similar ideas in my wardrobe. I love vintage as much as the new and I will be looking for broaches and pins with a floral and/or colored stone design to wear in my hair, on my scarf, on my purse, or even on my jewelry (maybe a broach holding together a strand of pearls around my neck or wrist). It is fun to experiment, and most of the time the results are pretty.
