May 14th, 2008

If you live close to an Arden B. store, you simply must go check out its spring sale right now, in store and on its website! You have to get these.

chiffon-ruffle-top.jpg Chiffon Ruffle Top, was $58 now $39.99. I cannot get past any chiffon ruffles.

drop-waist-tunic.jpg Drop Waist Tunic, was $68 now $29.99. Love the little lace detail on the sleeves and the front panel. Would look cute with skinny jeans and thong sandals.

stripe-bermuda-short.jpg Stripe Bermuda Short, was $68 now $49.99. These looks pretty sharp and they aren’t too short, and the built-in belt is always a bonus.

rosette-bubble-dress.jpg Rosette Bubble Dress, was $118 now $79.99. I don’t care if the authorities say the bubble dress is over. I love this one, it’s not a huge bubble and the waist tie creates a nice waist. The rosette neckline is just the sweetness.

blousant-tube-dress.jpg Blousant Tube Dress, was $118 now $79.99, it’s like a sexier version of a shirt dress. The tan color is gorgeous against the glowy skin.

striped-pencil-dress.jpg Striped Pencil Dress was $128 now $89.99. Gotta love a deceivingly sexy pencil dress. But I’d layer a white tee underneath to tone it down.

Chiffon print dress

May 14th, 2008

This is the latest addition to my chiffon dress collection, Chiffon Print Dress. I wish I had gotten the red one too since it was only $28. It turned out to be quite see-through (on the website it didn’t look see-through at all, I figured out that they must’ve layered another dress underneath it), so I put a lace skirt underneath to hide my underwear and give it a little bit more weight and body.

DVF pieces that I’m lusting for

May 13th, 2008

I didn’t think I could be more obsessed with Diane von Furstenberg’s ultra girlie stuff than I was already was, but *whimpers* I’m totally loving these spring pieces.
Diane von Furstenberg Surrenda Skirt Diane von Furstenberg Surrenda Skirt $450. I’m really into organza skirts lately, although I don’t want to go too poufy or princess-ish. This one is perfect, would be very chic and polished and even work-appropriate with a tank and a blazer.

Diane von Furstenberg El Shane Ombre Dress Diane von Furstenberg El Shane Ombre Dress $365. With regard to this trend of color blocking, it can get a little crazy. I like simple color combos like this one, the shades are so pretty and blend into each other nicely. And it’s nice that the shape of the dress is simple and clean.

Diane von Furstenberg Jocelyn Dress Diane von Furstenberg Jocelyn Dress $398. Isn’t it such a flattering dress, much more than the other babydoll kind of maxi dresses, eh?

Diane von Furstenberg Ora Cami Top Diane von Furstenberg Ora Cami Top $165, only DVF can make a cami different and unique like this, love the pleats at the bust, great for small-chested girls like me.

Diane von Furstenberg Kaimo Dress Diane von Furstenberg Kaimo Dress $345, absolutely enamored with the print.

Zappos has everything!

May 9th, 2008

This is probably old news for some of you, but it’s been a while since I stopped by zappos.com, and they’ve started selling clothes now? It’s no longer a mega shoe store. What can’t good ol’ Zappos do? So I have to check out the clothes. They have a wide range of brands and price points. These are some of the summer looks that I wouldn’t mind getting into.

Betsey Johnson - Gerber Daisies Dress (Aqua) - Apparel Betsey Johnson - Gerber Daisies Dress (Aqua) - Apparel $325. Super cute! Love the vertical bow and the whimsical daisy print.

MISS SIXTY - Allison Singlet (Bright Yellow) - Apparel MISS SIXTY - Allison Singlet (Bright Yellow) - Apparel $119. You dare wear this tiny little short dress? I hope so! If not, you can definitely wear it over a bikini as a cover up on the beach.

Ben Sherman - Eaton Sleeveless Dress (Crimson) - Apparel Ben Sherman - Eaton Sleeveless Dress (Crimson) - Apparel $100. Gingham always emerges as the weather gets warmer and sunnier. It’s time to have picnics and play in the park more often. This dress is utterly adorable.

Rip Curl - Sea Shell Dress (Fluorite Green) - Apparel Rip Curl - Sea Shell Dress (Fluorite Green) - Apparel $50. Such a flattering shape this dress has. If you have an hour glass shape, this will be perfect for you to show off your curves. The green shade is soft and neutral.

...Lost - Verdugo Dress (White) - Apparel…Lost - Verdugo Dress (White) - Apparel $36. How cool is this print? I stared at it for too long and got a little light-headed, lol.

kensie - Drapey Jacket (Slate Multicolor) - Apparel kensie - Drapey Jacket (Slate Multicolor) - Apparel $78. A step-up from a light cardigan for a bit more dressy look. Perfect to be paired with a sun dress for work.

Lacoste - Sport Retro M10 Fitness Bag (Lacoste Green) - Bags and Luggage Lacoste - Sport Retro M10 Fitness Bag (Lacoste Green) $124. This is a great-looking gym bag. My friends try to convince me to go to the gym with them. Hmm…they might be able to twist my arm if they got me this bag as a present :p

MICHAEL Michael Kors - Astor Grommet Sling (Taupe) - Footwear MICHAEL Michael Kors - Astor Grommet Sling (Taupe) - Footwear $153. I just really like strappy platform sandals with chunky heels.

Old Navy’s Neon Nights collection

May 7th, 2008

Women: Women's Georgette Halter Dresses - All-Over Print As soon as I got the email about Neon Nights Collection, vibrant summer styles in living color, at Old Navy, I went there to check it out. I can’t say the whole collection is that bright-colored. The only thing that caught my eye was this Georgette Halter Dresses - All-Over Print $39.50. Really like the handkerchief-style print and the asymmetrical hemline. It’ll be a perfect little dress for little summer getaways.

Deal Alert - MaxStudio Printed Silk Cotton Satin Dress

PRINTED SILK COTTON SATIN DRESS MaxStudio PRINTED SILK COTTON SATIN DRESS $228 on sale for $68!! For some reason I quite like this drape-like print floral dress :p

If I can’t have Marc…

April 29th, 2008

Marc by Marc Jacobs Alessandra Shantung Dress …then perhaps I can have something similar. I’ve been lusting after this Marc by Marc Jacobs Alessandra Shantung Dress ($428) forever. It’s adorable beyond words. I’m a sucker for big bows. But look what I found at Yesstyle, this look-alike for only $55 :D. I just have no idea how to tie the pretty bow like in the picture. Mine looks all screwed up. I really need a lesson on tying a proper bow!

Little Joe by Gail Elliott Aspen dress

April 25th, 2008

Little Joe by Gail Elliott Aspen dress $387.44 on sale for $167! Oh my this ultra-feminine dress is just to die-for! This is a caramel silk dress with semi-sheer elbow length sleeves. The square neckline is very flattering but very demure. And I just LOVE the sleeves with elasticated bow detail. You can either wear a thin belt like in the picture for a romantic and easy-going look or a funky wider belt for an edgier feel. Either way, this dress will get you noticed.

Little White Dresses

April 22nd, 2008

I always get the impulse to horde white little dresses as soon as the weather gets hot. In the summer, the little white dress is the little black dress. It offers the quickest way to instantly look crisply refreshing and lady-like. I love little details like asymmetrical cutting, ruffles, ruchings, eyelets on white dresses, make them extra feminine.  These are so pretty I can’t stand it.

3.1 Phillip Lim Exclusive Safari dress

Gap Design Editions

April 17th, 2008

Gosh, word sure spread fast about the new CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund designer white shirts and jewelry huh? I went to my local Gap last night to check it out and they were already running low on stock. Well, overall I felt a little underwhelmed about the shirts (priced at $78 - $88) by Phillip Lim, Band of Outsiders, and Michael Bastian. This Cut-out dress by Three AsFour is cute. The jewlery by Philip Crangi is um…different, but they are not my style. What do you think? Weigh in on them.
