Forever Frugal Friday

 

 looking through my closet recently i noticed a few things...

*i have been very frugal with my clothing purchases

*i think i buy more workout attire than normal clothes

*i need to add red, pink, and blue into my wardrobe more

* i need to buy new jeans

*i lack polka dots

which is why this polka dot raglan sweater is the perfect piece for me to add as it is both work friendly and weekend friendly. plus every time i see someone wearing polka dots i get jealous that i have not incorporated any into my fashions as of late.

what's your closet lacking?

NYFW - Monique Lhuillier Spring 2013 RTW Collection

i am very much behind in my spring 2103 rtw collections, but took a minute today to check out a few designers and have to say that monique lhuillier knocked it out of the park. 

 

her name has always been synonymous with wedding gowns and red carpet appearance but this collection is a beautiful blend of all things gorgeous!

her bold prints blended so beautiful together and really flatter a woman's body.

 

her bold jewel tones brights and glittery gold and black had my eyes all aglow. 

and not to disappoint her gowns were sheer genius - literally. 

 

i loved her use of colors, textures and patterns!  she did not disappoint and left me with a whole new vision of monique lhuillier. 

 

what have your favorite collections been so far?  keep checking back here as i hope to share some more of my fave shows in the next few days!  any i should look at immediately?

 

and can i just say out loud that one day i will attend nyfw?

Desperately Seeking Sully ~ Dorothy Perkins

i am not sure how i am just being introduced to the fabulous dorothy perkins, but man oh man am i glad i have now met her! great fashion and stylish items for amazingly low prices. a great site to pick up some new work pieces and just about anything else. here are just a few items i am currently coveting!

 the taupe/navy batwing dress which drew me into the dorothy perkins website

this navy contrast waist wrap dress is just perfect for the office

i love the metallic flair that spices up these apricot twist peep toe pumps

aqua/pewter side bar clutch needs to be mine, stat

this bad ass gold look spike necklace will help me gain some street cred

loving the colors and mixture of prints in this navy spot and stripe scarf

are you new to dorothy perkins too?  have you ordered from them before and if so how was your experience?  what items are you loving right now from the store?

Poppin' Prints

clockwise from top: 1/2/3/4

when i saw the tibi fern print easy dress this morning i just fell head over heels in love with it.  the colors, the style and the print are pretty much perfection.  which got me thinking...i don't wear prints all that often and i definitely need to add some into my wardrobe. 

owning any of the pieces above would make me quite happy, but i also wouldn't mind owning the item below either (and is much more budget friendly)...

i saw this adorable bird-print charmeuse blouse at old navy and came so close to buying it, but kept on walking.  then the gorgeous julia from gal meets glam wore it and i am just kicking my self for passing on it.  a trip to old navy may or may not be in store for me this weekend.

how are you feeling about prints?  have you already incorporated them into your wardrobe?  what's your favorite ensemble to wear your print with? 

Forever Frugal Friday

I have this weird obsession with cute printed thermals.  They remind me of long johns and bundling up and I just love the look.  This Mixed Patterned Thermal is absolutely coming home with me to Seattle this holiday season.  Pure perfection.  And for under $10 you have got to be kidding me! 

Forever Frugal Friday

Who else is excited to break out the white pants now that Memorial Day is upon us? 

Okay...so technically white pants seem to be okay to wear year round in here in Cali, but for other states, it is time to dust off your favorite white pants, shorts, skirts, whatever and pair them with great bright tribal tops like this one. 

The bright colors and fun pattern are sure to set you apart from others and it would also look great for evenings out paired with a bright blazer. 

Yahoo for summer time approaching!!!
