♥ Fashionably Moi! ♥

♥Wearing: Forever 21 Summer Eyelet Woven Dress in Coral; Forever 21 Feminine Details Charm Necklace in Red/Gold; Jessica Simpson Jungle in Sesame; House of Harlow 1960 Key Cocktail Ring in Gold.

♥Reading: Wanderlust: A Love Affair with Five Continents by Elisabeth Eaves. Place Rag & Bone’s Wide Brim Beach Hat in Natural upon your head, keep a glass of cold lemonade nearby, and take up residence in a lounge chair while reading this book – it creates le parfait ambiance for wanderlust. Just sayin’…

♥Glamourizing: Nails: OPI Come to Poppy from the Summer 2011 Nice Stems! Collection. Lips: mark Pro Gloss Hook Up Plumping Lip Shine in Swell. Eyes: mark Make It Big Lash Plumping Mascara in Raven (Black).

♥Listening: You Make Me Feel by Cobra Starship (feat. Sabi). The song of summer 2011? I think so. Aimer l'amour!

♥Adoring: Fedoras. Adorable on your cute boy du jour, but far more appropriate for tossing atop your very own tresses. Mes préférés actuels? Eugenia Kim’s Kurt Panama Fedora, and Bop Basics’ Raffia Crochet Floppy Fedora. Does a cuter counterpart for a simple white tank and cropped boyfriend jeans exist? Mais non! Biker-esque boots perfect for toughening up that frilly lace frock you simply can’t get enough of a la Frye’s Veronica Slouch Boots, Boutique 9’s Dode Buckle Booties, and Jeffrey Campbell’s France Suede Boots. The juxtaposition of grunge meets glam is pure perfection, mais oui? Herve Leger. The Crisscross V Neck Dress in Rose, the Geometric Jacquard Dress in Corozo Combo, the Cap Sleeve A Line Dress in Grey. Je les veux tous! Correct me if I’m wrong, but there is nothing that could make a girl feel more feminine than pouring herself into a luscious Leger creation, n'est-ce pas? Swoon!

♥Watching: Aladdin. One of my forever favorites. A part of me will always want to be Princess Jasmine (P.S. I wouldn’t mind marrying Aladdin either).

♥Desiring: Alice + Olivia Evangeline Strapless Ruched Dress in Chocolate. Swoon at the allover pleating and ruching! It is luscious, mais oui? Need! American Apparel Illustrated Chiffon T-Shirt Dress in Cat Fancy. Oui, mes cheris, I am a cat lady and proud of it; thus, this pretty needs to find its way to my closet pronto! Alice + Olivia Nadine Sling Back Pumps in Leopard. Le perfect way to add a splash of playfulness to one’s look du jour, n'est-ce pas?

♥Quoting: Roald Dahl - “And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.”

♥Awaiting: 18K Gold-Plated Sterling Silver “Carrie” Style Name Necklace from MyNameNecklace. I am counting down the seconds until its arrival. Thank you, thank you to Mel of Modanista Junkie for posting about MyNameNecklace, otherwise I wouldn’t have found this beauty!

But enough about moi; let’s talk about…vous. Time to give me the lowdown on your life, lovers! What are you up to this week?

Tightwad Tuesday: L.A.M.B. Kesha Platform Sandals for a Steal

Lovers, in the left corner you will find L.A.M.B.’s luscious Kesha Platform Sandals; to the right you will find the charming Calah from Type Z.

While the platform height of the Calah is ever so slightly lower than that of Kesha; for just $125.00, as opposed to the $325.00 price tag of Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. stunners, they are every bit as capable of giving the frugal fashionista the style she needs to truly strut her stuff – at a price that allows one to pick up all three haute hues (Cognac, Nude, and Black)!

Which role have you decided to undertake on this terrific Tuesday, kittens? Tightwad or spendthrift?

Sunday Steals: Rachel Pally Diamond Keyhole Long Dress for Less

Kitty cats, cast your gorgeous gaze to the left and you will find Rachel Pally’s darling Diamond Keyhole Dress in Black; now, if you’ll turn to the right, you will find ASOS’ pretty Padded Keyhole Front Grecian Maxi Dress.

Though the ambrosial ASOS features sophisticated split shoestring halterneck straps, as opposed to the simple spaghetti straps of the posh Pally; for a mere $51.72, in comparison to the $238.00 needed to add the sparkling Diamond to your wardrobe, it is the perfect compromise for the cheap chica looking to maintain marvelous style on a budget!

What’s your stand, lovers…will you splurge, or save?
