Lusting Lately ~ Spring 2013

this zara leather jacket w/ ruffle detail is incredible. it's the perfect color for spring, with just the right feminine touches - peplum, ruffles and zippers oh my!

i heart this rebecca minkoff m.a.c. shoulder bag. i love the camel contrast with the navy print. it screams spring fun.

my gf cari was wearing these celine sunnies last week and i made the mistake of trying them on, and falling massively in love.

i love pretty much anything dvf puts out, and these opal wedges are to die for. rose gold strap, cream crisscross and wood wedge, i heart them so much!

i heart one of these items so much, i did a bad, bad thing and purchased it. not for the price listed, but still, quite a luxurious purchase for this girl.

any guess what that item was? be sure to check out my instagram (@lyndsylee) later next week to see!

what luxury items are you craving this spring?

Forever Frugal Friday ~ Steal vs. Splurge

if you like these archer sandals by dolce vita for $68.95, you will LOVE these even more...

forever 21 is currently selling these almost identical metal-trimmed thong sandals (except in price) for $16.80! for the price of one dv sandal you can get three! i may not be a genius when it comes to math, but i know a good deal when i see one, and this my friends is a great deal!

Gap Goodies ~ Spring 2013

my gf samela and i popped into the gap at lunch yesterday and let me just say thank gosh i accidentally left my wallet on my desk or i could have done some major damage there.

spring has officially sprung at the gap and the store is filled with brights, florals and all things sunny.

my current lust list includes this shrunken boyfriend gingham shirt (with some white jeans), this animal print scarf (which is light and soft and perfect for spring), these rose blush leather flip flops (in every color - seriously they are the best flip flops EVER) and this roll-sleeve pocket shirtdress (in active yellow).

i only ended up bringing this harbor jersey striped dress home with me (a steal of a deal at $30 including tax) but am hoping to stop in tomorrow (with my wallet this time) and pick up a few of the items above.

Forever Frugal Friday

with the sun shining and spring officially here it's all about the sundresses for me! i love this blue tribal inspired dress. perfectly priced at under $15 bucks it would be perfect for an upcoming music festival (that i am sadly once again not attending) or brunching with the ladies.

loves.

Forever Frugal Friday

these spike threaded bracelets must be added to my arm candy party collection for spring. my two favorite colors, in neon with some major gold flare. win win for me!

Forever Frugal Friday

this flared scuba dress will be mine.

i saw it a few weeks back when i bought my new fave peplum top and wanted to buy it but was trying to stay focused. however, i have thought about this dress at least five times since, and it is such a steal of a deal, i am not sure why i am still hesitating .

the color is gorgeous and the fabric is soft and provides great coverage. perfect little early edition to my spring wardrobe i think...

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?

Forever Frugal Friday

i am in dire need of some new wedges for spring/summer.

while i still have my eyes on these jade dolce vita wedges, i think i just may have found a great cheap alternative in these patent crisscross wedges. i love that the top strap is at a crisscross angle to help elongate (instead of cutting off my short stumps) my legs. i also am loving the pop of color to brighten up the otherwise nude wedges.

great for dresses, colored denim and maxi dresses - an essential piece for any closet.

Pintrest Copycat

a few months ago i found this image on pintrest and fell head over heels with the look and wanted to immediately buy the outfit from head to toe.

turns out the dress is calypso and i can't seem to find it available anywhere, but what i did find was this gap pleated bib dress which is just darling in person and totally affordable. paired with the frye paige tall riding boots the look is almost identical.

pretty sure i am going to have to find a way to make this look happen immediately as it just about the perfect spring outfit!

Forever Frugal Friday ~ Preen Inspiration OOTD

(thank you jen for taking my photo...i felt ridiculous!)

two weeks ago i picked up the CUTEST bright pink blazer at forever 21 from their heritage 21 section (L.A. peeps - i bought it upstairs at the culver city/fox hills store) for $22.80! i mean what a steal! i couldn't wait to share this find with you all! i am sad however, to report that i cannot find it online for the life of me!

so instead i thought i would share my cute pink knockoff of the amazing incredible Preen Hutchinson Jacket (i mean can we just discuss the price difference here?) and how i wore it to work today. i received numerous compliments, surprisingly the most compliments came from men who really liked the "flashy neon", called me "pink panther" and liked my "pink version of the masters green jacket".

i am really wanting to pick up another bold blazer, and think any of the below are sure to be the perfect accent piece to add into your spring wardrobe! perfect for work, play and if you really want to get crazy, some color blocking trending with colored jeans! eek!

Forever Frugal Friday

My sweet sister sent me over a gift card to Forever 21 that I can't wait to use. Below are two items that I will be on the hunt for specifically and I am also looking forward to checking out the Rory Beca Collection.

I love this California Burnout Top and think it would look so cute with my Legging Jeans from the Gap and some flat boots. I like that it isn't fitted but still has some style to it, and it helps me declare my love of California!

I am still on a quest to update my work wardrobe and I think this Tiered Scallop Edge Skirt would be the perfect addition. I think this skirt could also be a great piece in coral for Easter!

I am hoping to come back with some great finds this weekend and I will be sure to share the goods!
