V. Becks Does it Again

I love the way Posh dresses. Granted, she goes a little overboard with the short-shorts and 4-inch heels for a walk with her family, but she always looks chic. You gotta love the attitude! I particularly love this outfit because she pairs her usual body-hugging top, oversized sunglasses, and sky-high shoes with a crisp, flowy-A line pleated Azzedine Alaia dress with sheer stripes. Copy her look for WAY less with the affordable pieces in the Victoria Beckham’s Classay Style buyer’s guide on Kazowie. Supes cute outfit for work and play!

Plaid Shirt Gets Update

Your fave cotton plaid shirt just became wearable again. When paired with the right outfit, a long-sleeve button down p-shirt can go from day. . . to night (believe it or not). My shopper’s mag suggested pairing the p-shirt with a pair of shorts and a white tank. I saw a girl rocking this look today on my way to the office and it works. I want a p-shirt now! Check out The Plaid Shirt for a way cute p-shirt to treat yourself to and some pieces to pair with it by day and night.

Serious Shoes

I can’t get enough shoes. If you’ve read any of my posts over the past year, you probably know this-  75% of my posts are about shoes. We had to start a rule in the house that entails the removal of one pair of shoes if another is to enter the household. It’s a rough life.

I’m completely smitten over the crazy new shoes that are appearing on the runway as well as in the streets. The search for the best shoe this season ends at this Jeffrey Campbell Unicorn Princess Shoe: Ruffles.  Unicorn Heel. Gold. Amazing.

Another one at the top of my list is the Industry Leather Wedge, available in teal at Modcloth.com and beige at 80’s Purple.

And of course, not to be left out are the following (from left to right): Marc Jacobs’ Salmon Velvet, Proenza Schouler Peep-Toe Heel, The Casadei Suede Slingback with Horn Heel,  and the Tapeet by Vicini. Also amazing.

Star Trek Fashion Inspiration: Nyota Uhura

I’m not going to lie- the most I’ve ever seen of anything Star Trek is the preview for the 2009 version that came on before the movie I actually paid to go see. Just because I’m not a Trekkie, however, does not mean I don’t appreciate futuristic fashion! “Star Trek” premiered on the 8th of this month and Zoe Saldana looks like she rocked the role of Nyota Uhura (cute dress!). I created a Dress Like Nyota Uhura buyer’s guide with literal and non-literal versions of her style to inspire your everyday look or your Halloween costume (there’s an actual Nyota costume in the guide, if that’s what you’re in the market for). Have fun!

Shown: Charm Straight by TressAllure Hairpieces, Sterling Silver 9×17mm White FW Pearl Teardrop Earrings, and Urban Renewal Mixed Strip Knit Tunic.

Cork Bottom Shoes

Cork bottom sandals are my new favorite look for spring. They are super versatile and can be worn for casual occasions with jeans as well as with dresses for fancier outings. I especially LOVE cork bottom wedges like you see here:

UP

Disney-Pixar’s Up is less than a month away from premiering (May 29th in Disney Digital 3-D)! If you liked Monster’s Inc., brace yourself: Up is directed by the same guy, Pete Docter. I have a feeling it’s going to be absolutely hilarious and completely darling. How could it not be? Duh, I’m obsessed with the characters already and, as you know, I’m always looking for an excuse to dress up. If you’re like me and/or you’re just super-excited for a new Pixar movie, you should check out my Dress Like Carl Fredricksen from Disney-Pixar’s UP shopping guide. This outfit’s great for opening night at the movies, Halloween, a Pixar theme party, or just for fun. Obviously, the main character is MALE, but the products in my guide are all women’s apparel and accessories (i.e. a pre-tied bow tie). It’s really cute, you’ll see.

See my other “Dress Like” guides at the links below. There’s definitely going to be more of these in the future! If you have any ideas for a fun character dress-up, let me know and I’ll shop for you!

Rasta Time!

SHOP RASTA GEAR NOW!

Springtime symbolizes many things: birth, re-birth, new beginnings, growth, romance, etc., but this year, for me, spring simply stands for the season before summer. And with summer, comes reggae, which has been all I’ve been listening to for the past several weeks. I have found so many cute rasta-colored accessories and clothing, which I have included in my Rasta Wear for Girl’s buyer’s guide.

Once you see how cute these things are (um, a.k.a. the Rasta Bow Hair Clips!), I guarantee you’ll be switching your iPod to Legend quicker than you can say “I shot the sheriff.” Make sure you check out all the products I hand-picked for the guide - there’s definitely more than one page’s worth of rastafari-approved gear up on there!

Happy Picnic Day!

Poll: Will you wear a dress or shorts to Picnic Day this year? Vote now!

Every year in April, my alumni college town hosts “Picnic Day.” This all-day event is “designed to showcase the richness and diversity of campus life, as well as the community” of the small town and has been a tradition for the past 95 years. It’s super fun to walk around town and celebrate springtime with friends literally from morning ‘til night. Picnic Day is one of the major events of the city which everyone knows about and practically everyone looks forward to. You’re going to be seen, so you’ve got to look cute!

I will be taking a drive up for my 6th Picnic Day this weekend and I can’t wait to see all my old friends! My Picnic Day Picks buyer’s guide is full of tops, dresses, shoes, and accessories that are perfect for a day in the sun, whether you’re going to Picnic Day, or you’re hosting your own picnic in the park! The key is bright colors, light fabrics, and comfortable fits.

Bobbi Blu Spree!

Bobbi Blu makes the most comfortable and adorable shoes I’ve ever seen or worn. I own one pair, but might have to invest in another! I can’t get over the sale prices I found for my Girly Bobbi Blu shopper’s guide! The shoes may not be the spankin’ new Fall ‘09’s, but they still look hot to me! They’re cute, feminine, and classic enough to transcend the seasons, yet they’re somehow still unique and fresh.

From left: Bobbi Blu Alissa Camel High Heels, Bobbi Blu Rosilynn, Bobbi Blu Dallan, and Bobbi Blu Edith.

Though the colors are mostly muted (which match everything!), they pop because of the unique designs, patterns, fabrics, and accents used by Bobbi Blu. Think patent, satin, floral, ruffles, scallops, buttons, and everything girly and wonderful! Plus, I’m always sold on any shoes with padded soles, especially pumps! Cute and comfy? HAAAAY!!

♪ ♪ Wedding Shoes ♪ ♪

I’m completely obsessed with shoes of all kinds and am ECSTATIC  that I get to pick out two pairs of shoes for my wedding; one pair of flats and one pair of heels. Originally, I was just going to wear a pair of heels, and my fiancé reminded me that I may not want to wear heels for the entire reception- seeing as how there will be TONS of dancing;-)

My ultimate goal is to find two pairs that I could maybe, possibly, one day want to wear again. Which basically means that I don’t want a pair of dyables. The flats don’t matter quite as much as the heels, because my dress will probably cover them, so a simple pair of ballet flats will work. I know that I’ll have to wait until I have my dress finished to pick out shoes, but I’ve got a good list going of both heels and flats for when I’m ready to make the big decision. I’m really going for a vintage feel for the wedding and I love the idea of having gold, silver, or off-white shoes (my dress is going to be closer to off-white than pure white).

Here are a few of my pics:(from left to right) Silver Vintage Bow, Vintage Gold Bow, Check’s in the Mail by Seychelles, Light Gold Metallic Bobbi Blus, Vintage Silver Pearl.
