Three For Tuesday

Some super quickies:


($34, BCBGirls, Overstock)
I'm not usually into muted colors, but this is really cute!




($86, BCBG Max Azria, Overstock)
I've definitely resisted the cropped jacket trend for a really long time, but for some reason I'm into this one. Prolly because it's not too swingy or boxy.



($68, Mike & Chris, Chocosho.com)
So stylish and soooo comfy looking. And there ain't much Mike & Chris available for under $100, nomesayin'? Total steal.


Okay. Must finish prepping for an interview -- I'm going to go talk to the Hearts Challenger peeps!! Tasty!

And It Was All Yellooooooooooooowwww...

CERTAINLY you're aware that Cami D has been gallivanting about Paree in some seriously yellow stilettos, no? While I'm not always a huge fan of a LOT of, say, all-over yellow on white-white girls like myself, yellow accessories and footwear can be fabs, and I actually do like her simple spike heels. Observe:



Now go get some of your own...


($29, Amazon)



($28.50, Amazon)
Love the cut.



(BCBG, Amazon.com)
I love these BCBG Open-toe Library Pumps, but they're becoming increasingly harder to find in yellow. Boo.



($54, BCBG, Overstock)
These pale yellow BCBGirls heels are really cute. And I like that they're called "Sunshine." Tee!



($38, Amazon)
Pale AND slutty!



($18, Soda, Amazon)
Totes cute slingbacks. It's odd -- I usually can't stand high-heeled slingbacks. Only low heels. I know you feel better knowing that.



($241, Loeffler Randall, Shopbop)
The dots are so subtle that they're not barfily little girlie. Yay! And, also, yay to Jesse Randall for Loeffler Randall's win at the CFDA Swarovski Award for Emerging Talent Accessory Design. Check out this adorbs photo of her:

($102, Matiko, Couturecandy.com)
Very very cute.

And now for some yellow non-footwear:


($341, Julie K, Couturecandy.com)
Funs!



($28, Amiciaccessories.com)



($30, Asos.com)
Tee! In the style of Lily Allen.



($57, Bebe, eBay)

And now for something heinous...


($237, Nina Ricci, DesignerExposure.com)
What they DON'T want you to see: the unfortunate purging side of bingeing.

I Do... Want These Dresses

A few of you have been up in arms and legs about what to wear to upcoming weddings. Well, fear not, Binge-oids. I've been hording some absolutely gorgeous frocks, some affordable, and, again, many definitely not! Here's the first out of a series of two. This batch: the fancier ones:



($750, 3.1 By Phillip Lim, Bigdropnyc.com)
Completely beautiful, completely out of my price range. I'm consoled though, by the fact that I don't really like the bottom hem.



($629, Sofira, CoutureCandy.com)
I absolutely love this, and I am consoled by nothing. Boooo.



($360, Kay Unger, Saks)
Cuter than a flannel pillowcase with an all-over candycane print, and then you open up the pillowcase and look inside and it's filled with fuzzy, fluffy wide-eyed kittens mewing sweetly.



($340, Mara Hoffman, Shopfrock.com)
Would look gorgeous with some gold sandals wif heels.



($277, Calvin Klein, Saks)
Muy elegante. You'll look less trashy when you get wasted before the reception if you're wearing this deceptively elegant dress. (Hey, it's called a cocktail dress and a cocktail hour for a REASON!)



($136, Betsey Johnson, Overstock)
Okay, a few times this week, I came DANGEROUSLY close to almost ordering this to wear to a wedding in June. The couple is super cool and super not-stuffy and non-traditional, so this would be perfect. BUT when I showed it to a different friend, also a non stuffy person, she asked if, in all seriousness, I was having an early mid-life crisis. I'm not even 30, for Pete Wentz's sake! Anyway, if there's ANYONE who could pull off wearing this to a wedding, I think it's ME! I also think I might order it JUST to SPITE her! Because I'm just that sorta person!



($128, Betsy & Adam, Saks)
Since I've got a lotta red tones in my skin, I almost never wear red. But, if you can pull it off, this is totally adorbs.



($64, Max & Cleo, Overstock)
I usually don't LOOOOVE dots, but these look really subtle, and I like the cut and color -- sorta '40s. You might have to have zero curves to wear this, but if that's you, yay! Get it!


Byeee!

Dresses (And More) *to Die For

Let's jump to it, okay? Listed in the order in which I covet:


($795, Moschino Cheap and Chic, Saks)
Oh. My. God. Giraffes!!!! Oh. My. God. $795!!!!


($242, L.A.M.B.)
If loving Gwen Stefani is wrong, I don't wanna be right. I don't know exactly how to Holla Back, but I'd be more than willing to learn in exchange for this dress.


($438, Issa, BlueBee.com)
Issa makes just absolutely gorgeous dresses. More here, for lotsa paper stacks.


(Price upon request, Vintage James Galonos, Decades in L.A.)
LOVE this. It's so "Dallas" and SO delicious. And my size (if I blow my nose a few times and then suck in really hard).


(Price upon request, Vintage Pierre Balmain, Decades in L.A.)
I know it's ridiculous, but I would make it work. I'd wear it to the supermarket and the bank in hopes of being 'razzi stalked.


($299, Tufi Duek, Bluefly)
Oh Tufi Duek. Oh I love you. Love the Deco-meets-ethnic situation here.


($179, Abate, Bluefly)
I don't often go mad for Mod (har), but this is lovely and elegant. Prada-esque for the working girl. The working girl who DOESN'T work at Vogue, that is.


($290, Betsey Johnson, HouseofStyle.com)
LOVE this! It's very Jan-Brady-Goes-To-School-But-Forgets-Her-Pants. Um, seriously, could you spare us and put on a pair of tights, or even LEGGINGS if you must?


($82, Betsey Johnson, Vibetheboutique.com)
A-dor-a-blay. House of Style (WTF is that, by the way??)has 'em but for way way more.


($89, Stop Staring, Modcloth.com)
Very "Looo-Seeee?? I'm HOOOoooo-M!" Love the waist action.


($89, Jenny Han, Modcloth.com)
Super cute. Picnic-perfect!


($253, Erotokritos, Shopatmilk.com)
Better in theory than practice??


($305, BCBG Max Azria, Bluefly)
Also cute only in theory? Too Vanna-White-And-Nancy-Reagan-Circa-1984-Play-Dress-Up?


($109, BCBG Max Azria, Bluefly)
The cutesiness of the ribbon situation is offset by the sexiness of the keyhole peekaboo action. And I like that the color is referred to as "Napa wine." I've never been to Napa, but I do enjoy wine, like, a lot, so, I'll drink to that!


OK. Time to discuss kimonos, k? Do we love 'em or not so much? Of course my first pick of the litter, if i HAD to own one, would be a Kara Janx kimono dress:

($185, Kara Janx, greenapple.com)
My fave's totes the black and green one, sadly out of stock, but I'm sure she'll be whipping up more. I also like the grey (doy) dress on this site. Too lazy to post yet another photo, so here you go. It looks weeyahd at first, but zoom in, and I assure you, additional cuteness will become apparent.


Now, here are some expensive kimono items:

1.

($260, Single Dress, Bloomingdale's)
Super pretty, but pretty pricey.

2.

($148, Abby Z, Nordstrom)
Pretty and plus-sized, but with a plus-sized price tag too. Boo.

3.

($216, Harkham, CoutureCandy.com)
I know it's not a dress, but it falls neatly into the kimono sub-genre, so deal.

NOW... FOUR AFFORDABLE kimono situations, all under $40:
1.

($39, Giannascloset.com)
The whole no-brand thing is suspect, but who cares? It's a $40 no-brainer.

2.

($32.18, asos.com)
Another no-brander, but again, who cares?

3.

($38.50, Lulusfashionlounge.com)
I'm loving this because it LOOKS really 'spensive. Also comes in a red situation.

4.

($29.99, Meron, targs)
Just another reason to <3 Targs. I'm not positive I'd wear this, but it's a great deal, and it's good for work.


Now back to non-kimono stuff...


($26.50, Lush, Lulusfashionlounge.com)
How cute is the blue-and-pink color combo? Lulu, whoever you are, ya done good.


($34, Soundgirl, Lulusfashionlounge.com)
You don't have to be rockabilly or emo or "scene" or whichever ebay descriptor you identify with to love lil cherries. Yay, again, Lulu! And I'm a fan of about 90% of what Soundgirl does. (The music on their site is always right on, too.)

And finally...

($43, Scrapbook, Modcloth.com)
I think I'm gwongo buy this, though I fear it may look like overwashed cotton in person. I'll report back.

Oh wait... here's the "and more" section:


($116.40, Dreamland by Joystick, Playhouse Clothing)
I know this is super young, but it's so cuters.


($66, Dreamland by Joystick, Shoprumor.com)
And here it is in t-shirt form. Cute cute!
