I Want It and I Want It Delivered!

I thought that this white dress was fabulous enough to earn it's very own post. I am a sucker for anything sparkly, shiny or sequined. . .and this dress certainly has some bling. A completely crystal encrusted bodice is off-set by soft, romantic layers.

For a bride-to-be looking for a fun dress to change into for a reception, this one is the perfect choice. . .but for those who don't have upcoming nuptials, fret not, because this dress is sure to dazzle at any event.

Ahoy Matey!

One of my friends just sent me an e-mail with an amazing Michael Kors dress that is her #1 wish for Spring this year! It incorporates the red and blue combination that I touched on earlier this week! 

Michael Kors

I have to agree. . .I LOVE it! The seemingly simple dress gets more complex the more you see of it. . .and I just love anything with a unique back to it. That ensures that people stare at you as you walk away!

I could totally see Carrie from Sex and The City wearing this. . .but the body conscious beware. Between the fabric, length and horizontal stripes, this is one hard dress to pull off!

Your Slip is Showing

Oops. . .your slip is showing! Well, here is a slip that is MEANT to be shown! Your Slip is Showing is a new line of woman's apparel whose philosophy is bred from intimacy: "We dress you from the inside out, and the outside in, We offer flirtatiously embellished slips to be worn interchangeably under our playfully interpreted classic dresses and skirts."

Your Slip is Showing has two different lines of slips: Madam! Slips (which are MY favorite) and Oops! Slips. The Madam! Slips are much more ornate, where as the Oops! Slips are more subdued with pretty, feminine detailing. 

1. Madame! Feather Slip    2. Oops! Sand Garden Slip       3. Madame! Salt and Pepper Slip  4. Oops! Pink Ice Slip

I am lusting after every slip in the collection! I think they are such a fun, unique way to create one of a kind looks! Update a boring dress or skirt by adding one of these slips under it. . .and "bam", a whole new look! These are especially great to throw on under a dress or skirt after work and go meet some friends for drink. The possibilities are endless! 

I've looked for any other slips I can find that are even remotely similar to these, but this seems to be a one-of-a-kind find! Currently these slips are only available at a few stores nationwide, but they are available for purchase at Your Slip is Showing online!

I want it. . .and I want it delivered!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Black Halo. It's been on my style radar for a while. . .I always like the designs. . .but I've never paid too much attention to it. Which is strange really, because Black Halo designs have a tendency to grace magazine covers on a monthly basis. This season Black Halo is now one of my favorite Collections! What I love most about Black Halo is that their designs combine a classic look, with a sexy flair, and interesting detailing. Their pieces are timeless, without being boring.

Without further adieu. . .I present to you. . .my obsession for Spring. One of my MUST HAVES for the season.

Black Halo Camilla Shift Dress.

I LOVE the classic shape of this dress, yet the interesting ruffle detailing around the neck and bust. Even more I love the beautiful powder blue color, contrasted with the red skinny belt! PERFECTION!

This dress is the perfect addition for any closet because of it's timeless characteristics. This is sure to be worn for seasons to come!

So who can wear this dress? This dress is certainly a figure conscious one. . .and you can bet I'll definitely be throwing a pair of Spanx under this one! Believe it or not though, this dress will work for a variety of figures.

An hourglass figure would obviously be a knock out in the dress, but be careful the dress hugs the curves just right. . .just not too tight! Hourglass figures have to be careful, because their body shape screams sex appeal. . .although a little sexy is good. . .you don't want to come across as a full on sex kitten!

If you are more of a pear shape, this dress can be flattering as well. . .just make SURE it's not too tight across the rear. . .consider going up a size from your norm. The volume in the chest and shoulders can help to balance a pear shape.

This would also be flattering on someone with a tall, strait figure. The belt and the volume in the chest help to add some shape to a strait frame. Equally, even if you are on the short side, the high-waist on this dress will help to visually elongate the legs. If you are on the short side have the dress hemmed just above the knee to make your legs look even longer.

I think I will have to find some room in my closet for this one this Spring!

I want it, and I want it delivered!!!

I just stumbled across the most amazing game at Shop Intuition: The Fashion Rule's Game. Created by the Margaret Maldonado Agency, The Fashion Rules Game tests the players knowledge about what is happening, past and present, in the world of fashion, celebrity and design.  This very well could be the Monopoly for fashionistas! Hopefully Santa will bring me this for Christmas! 

According to Shop Intuition's website: " This fashion trivia board game will delight fashionistas and style tyros alike. Fashion rules is a unique, fast paced, smart board game built around the love of all things relating to style. The board game tests player's knowledge what's happening, past and present, in the world of fashion, celebrity, design. Fashion Rules was created by the Margaret Maldonado Agency - the West Coast's most esteemed agency for wardrobe stylists, hair stylists, makeup artists, photographers, and up-and-coming designers. Includes four shopping bags, collectible high heels, scissors, sunglasses, mirror figurines and golden dice."

Of course the game comes with the semi-hefty price tag of $100. . . and as of yet I could not find it available on Amazon.com. I hope the game doesn't disappoint!
