LBD Bonanza

I can't get enough of the Little Black Dress. I personally own about 10 of them, each one unique. The LBD is always flattering, classic, and gives you the opportunity to go CRAZY with accessories. Here is a roundup of a few I've come across that caught my eye (and wont clean out your bank account!)




As U Wish Bow Dress, $68

SO darn cute....I'm really into bows lately. They're feminine, but without the tackiness of flowers. Me likey!

Ruby Rox Sweetheart Tube Dress, $68

This one is a little sexier. The ruffles give it a lolita-like quality. And this is perfect to wear after a carb-laden dinner, cuz the bubble-shape keeps your tummy under wraps.

Buy here













Malina Ruffled Bubble Dress w/Accent Gems, $27.99

This is considerably less fancy than the others, but I like its light, floaty design. I'd wear this on a stroll through SoHo.

Janine Ribbed Detailed Cocktail Dress, $24.99

So this is pretty much a blatant copy of the VERY-IN-DEMAND Herve Leger bandage dress that EVERY celeb has been spotted in lately (Remember LiLo's rainbow dress?). This material is really good at sucking everything in, and the silhouette is really flattering. The open back is a really sexy surprise (go to the site to see it). Accessorize this with simple jewelry (diamond studs, perhaps?) and some stilettos and you're all set to go out and break some hearts.

Sweetheart Satin Top, $19.80

Not everyone can pull this one off. It's for the super-confident gal. Wear it with opaque black leggings, roundtoe platform pumps, and your hair UP, please.

Buy here











Belted Halter Dress, $82.35

It's a spicy little dress, with the ruffles and the belt detail, and it's perfect for a night out dancing. Red lipstick optional.

Sales of the Day Roundup

Taylor Halter Dress, $14.99 (originally $44.50), from Delias

Just a cute little summer dress that can go from work to dinner and drinks (provided you don't work anywhere too corporate). For 15 bucks, you can't really go wrong.

Perf Pump, $19.99 (Originally $39) from Delias

OH.MY.GOD! I am obsessed with these shoes! They are KILLER! They would look amazing with black leggings and a leather jacket or skinny jeans with a loose-fitting cotton top. I just ordered these in a 7 1/2, eventhough I wear an 8, because I can't bear to not have them in my life. There are more sizes in the black color. Boo ya!

Buy here





CHINESE LAUNDRY Faux Crocodile Hook Belt, $15 (Was $37) from the 15-Dollar-Store.

This one looks like you stole it from your grandma's closet, in a GOOD way.

Buy it here




Beaded Fringe Tank, $19.99 (Originally $48) From Urban Outfitters

I just like it, OK? Don with cut -ff jean shorts and flip flops and buy yourself a ticket to Coachella.

TOTALLY UNAFFORDABLE BUT AWESOME ITEM OF THE DAY

MARC JACOBS Oversize Colorblock Pouchette ($1275)

Preorder Here

Ok, so it isnt the most PRACTICAL bag in the world. And the colors are a little OUT there. And it costs the same as my rent. But there is something so delicious about this larger-than-a-clutch by the "man who can do no wrong", Marc Jacobs. Sure, this would look silly with any actual colored clothing, but if you're like me, your wardrobe is about 80% black anyway. And as much as I tell myself the whole "padlock" thing is overplayed, I am not getting sick of it! The more hardware, the better!

Now for us poor folk, here's a budget friendly alternative:

Patent Retro Clutch from Forever 21 ($15.80)

Cute, unique, and kinda colorful, this clutch will stand out without burning someone's retinas. I'm truly into it.

Daily Dose of Shoes

I love the vintage-y appeal of these adorable Pagoda pumps by Steve Madden ($79.99). Pair them with skinny jeans and a short swingy jacket, and I might just die. No promises, though.

P.S. Why is the jeans mannequin shaped like an anorexic 12 year old? Yuck!

Cheap (but killer) Duds of the Day

Lace Detail Ra-Ra Jersey Dress from ASOS.COM - $60.68
BUY HERE

There is something so cute, simple, and SPRING about it this dress. You can wear it to work with flats or dress it up with hot wedges for a night out. Not for the bloated though, it seems like it would show every single dimple and curve (even the unwanted ones). AKA IM NOT GETTING IT!
