♥Chopper Chic I have searched high and low for a pair of motorcycle boots that were affordable yet divine. Finally, after putting a halt to my hunt, the pair of my dreams seemingly comes right up and bites me on the nose in the form of an under-eighteen-dollar find at
Target. The discovery, however, may have caused more harm than good. Sure, I’m absolutely weak in the knees from this fashion find; but it has also left me in a complete and utter tizzy. Suddenly I’m obsessed with motorcycle boots, and want to add more chopper chic magnificence to my footwear.
These offer a quintessential mix of handsome ruggedness and feminine mystique. Wouldn’t
these look blissful if paired with a crisp white shirtdress cinched with a black belt or ribbon? And
these are obviously destined to make an appearance in little
Jenny Humphrey’s rebellious wardrobe any day now. Regardless of the fact that I am terrified of motorcycles, I am utterly tempted by the fashion that is synonymous to them.
♥Dear Dylan I have never had much of a sweet tooth. In fact, when I was a child, I would collect candy on Halloween while decked out as my favorite Disney Princess, bring it home to sort and count; then promptly give it to my sugar-addicted friends and family members. That said, ever since I learned of
Dylan’s Candy Bar, I’ve wanted to move in. Or at least pop in for a visit. Especially now that they have accessories. I plan on donning this
Striped Ring while digging into these
Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears. I’d love to swipe on some of this
Chocolate Cupcake Lip Saver while sucking on these
Whirly Pops. And splashing into a puddle while wearing these
Rain Boots and chomping on these
Chocolate Covered Pretzels? Sounds like a plan to me. I’m in dire need of a sugar rush; Dear Dylan, please bring a Candy Bar location to California!
♥Channeling Chanel I’ve come to the conclusion that I most likely will be unable to afford a
Chanel 2.55 Quilted Bag, or
Chanel Two-Tone Ballerina Flats anytime in the near future; thus, to satisfy my craving for Chanel, I have decided to acquire the designer’s divine pieces via a cheaper outlet – nail polish. I’ll take this
Le Vernis Nail Colour in Ballerina (because my dream is to be one), Paparazzi (who doesn’t love to feel as if they’re being hounded by the press?), and Fizz (because I plan on indulging in many fizzy, fruit, colorful, tropical drinks over the summer); and this
Nail Colour Limited Edition Exclusive Creation Facettes D’or in Gold Fiction because every girl deserves a little gold in her life. Who knew that Channeling Chanel could be so simple?
♥Madame Butterfly I was always a very loyal follower of butterflies. Until owls came into my life, that is. The nocturnal dreamboats quickly took center stage in my eyes, replacing the fluttering femme fatales.
This colorful butterfly dress has restored my affections for them. I first saw
Ashley Tisdale donning it over six months ago and instantly wondered who the mastermind behind such a cheery creation could be. Now I know...
Free People! I long to add
this delight to my summer attire. In addition to
this,
this, and
this, of course. Just call me Madame Butterfly!
♥Breakfast in New York I blame it on
Heidi Merrick and her divine
Aunt Judy Dress which I
raved about not too long ago. If it weren’t for her, I may not have stumbled upon
Sunday Brunch Dress Shop; but I suppose it’s too late to do anything about it now. Sunday Brunch Dress Shop has become one of my first stops each time I log onto the information highway. Each offering looks like something straight out of the closet of Daisy Buchanan; and manages to appear classic, while completely modern at the same time. Currently I’m salivating over the electric blue
Mel en Stel Cup of Tea Ruffle Dress (pinkies up!); the
Heidi Merrick Traveling Dress; the
Mimi Turner Terra Cotta Zipper Dress (perfect for dancing the night away!), the
Fin Eco Slouchy Dress; and, of course, my dear
Aunt Judy. So...who wants some breakfast?
♥Livin’ La Vida Leighton It has taken me some time to come to terms with the fact that
Leighton Meester is not
Blair Waldorf and Blair Waldorf is not Leighton Meester. Remiss, I must admit that I L-O-V-E the both of them just as if they were one and the same. Like Blair, Leighton has a wonderful fashion sense. Just look at
this perfect peach pairing – j’adore! Like Blair, Leighton has an adorable boyfriend who is a part-time Gossip Guy –
Sebastian Stan. And, while Blair has never belted anything out on
Gossip Girl (at least as far as I can remember), I am a huge fan of Leighton’s voice, which can be heard a la
Bette Davis Eyes here. Yes, I’m livin’ la vida Leighton; and proud of it!
What were you smitten with this week?
Fashionably yours!
Thanks to
Luphia Loves...for the picture.
Keith Lissner “Annie” How one can even attempt to be a Goddess without the proper attire is inconceivable to me. And by proper attire, I mean this divine Annie Dress from Chicago-born designer Keith Lissner. One shoulder. Metallic. Silk chiffon. Pleated. When it comes to being a goddess, Annie is the piece de resistance of dresses. The material seemingly cascades over your body; while the slight ruffled ruching at the shoulder and wide ribbon cinching the waist provide just the right amount of detailing that is undeniably decadent. I’ll be dreaming of Annie tonight...will you? 
House of Harlow 1960 “Brass Seven-Strand Coin Head Piece” A legitimate goddess one cannot be without the consummate piece of headwear. A crown would be something left to a princess; a more befitting piece for a goddess is this Brass Seven-Strand Coin Head Piece from Nicole Richie’s heavenly House of Harlow 1960 line. Handcrafted out of teeny-tiny brushed brass coin charms this makes for the quintessential accessory for any wannabe goddess. And the best part? It manages to look glorious when topping just about any hair color or style imaginable.
Forever 21 “Lexi Leaf Necklace” Greek goddesses of history were known for wearing leaves in their hair. You’ve already got the headpiece covered; so a lovely place for the leaves to rest? Around your throat via this Lexi Leaf Necklace, of course. Stunning texturized gold leaves cause quite a stir in this statement necklace that features a cluster of fabulous foliage draped haphazardly in an elegant fashion. And the choker-like length makes it noticeable even from across a crowded room. This is a polished bauble worthy of worship.
Diba “Betsie Belle” I have never been able to embrace the style of Gladiator sandals (please feel free to convince me otherwise); regardless, I am obsessed with metallic wedges, and believe that they have the power to transform just about any outfit into something ethereal yet fun. Case in point, these Betsie Belle beauties from Diba. The disc-like ornamenting along the straps? Delicious. The glittering gold color? Gorgeous. The height? Handsome. The partial cork wedge? Perfect. The adjustable ankle strap? Absolute. There is no question about it these pretties are the ultimate in goddess footwear. Besides, little Annie would be lonely without them. 
Roberto Cavalli “Serpent Bracelet Clutch” What did the serpent represent in Greek mythology? The earth. Since my earth is all consumed with thoughts of handbags, I find it only necessary to pay tribute to this mythological infused Serpent Bracelet Clutch. A typical gold satin foldover clutch, this shimmering piece of splendor harbors a little secret. The gold serpent that serves as the adorable wristlet? Well, it doubles as an enchanting, detachable bracelet. Sure, it may be $965, but think of it as two pleasing pieces in one. We all know Aphrodite would.
GAP “Flutter Sleeve Braided T” As if being an affordable plain white tee weren’t perfect enough, this Flutter Sleeve Braided T already comes adorned with a delicately braided scoopneck in addition to flutter sleeves, and a lightly ruched front. Together these three qualities give this otherwise plain white tee a romantic, flirty air that requires no dressing up. Just slip on and go! 
Target “Juniors’ Mossimo Supply Pocket V-Neck Tee – True White” Not to be biased but, I own twelve of these shirts (3 white, 1 pink, 1 electric blue, 2 navy blue, 3 hunter green, 1 gray, 1 light green). It may sound excessive, but these tops are the staple of my wardrobe. The v-neck is just right (not too low, not too high), the color is optimal (not see-through, but still very light, airy, and weightless), and the fit is simply wondrous (form-fitting yet baggy in all the right places). The little breast pocket is a rare feature, yet one that is totally treasured; and the longer than usual length gives you the option of turning this top into a tunic, or making it hit right at your waistband. The best part? At just $8.00 you’ll have enough saved over for a little something extra – a piece of jewelry perhaps? 
Nordstrom “TWEN-TEE Extra Fine Knit Tank” When it comes to tank tops, typically I just say no; but this one is actually pretty cute. I’m obsessed with the fact that the white trim is thicker than that of the rest of the top, providing an ever so slight contrast between the two shades that is classic and lovely. It doesn’t hurt that this tank doubles as an excellent piece for layering, so it won’t go to waste once the weather turns chilly. 
Urban Outfitters “BDG Dolman Tee” As a proud, card carrying member of skinny jean lovers anonymous, I can never stress enough just how much I adore the look of a loose, oversized top paired with the denim dreams. Hence the reason why it only took a minute for this BDG Dolman Tee to catch my eye. The winter white shade is sheer, but not see-through. The neck is wide, slightly mimicking that of a ballerina or boatneck tee; and the dolman sleeves are the perfect middle ground for someone who doesn’t want to hit the three-quarter mark, but isn’t crazy about super short sleeves or a tank. The end result is this $32 dazzler. 
Revolve Clothing “Blue Life Departure Tee in White” I can’t help but see the asymmetrical hemline as an idealistic way for adding a little wild child to your wardrobe; and this Blue Life Departure Tee in White does a wicked job of doing just that. There’s something so fetching, yet completely laid-back, relaxed, and cool about slipping into something with an asymmetrical hemline. The cut manages to project self-confidence and effervescence with just one wear; yet it retains a very comfy, beachy vibe which makes it very versatile, and a must for your wardrobe.
