Fashion Friday: Episode 100

This is a fun, casual outfit that I plan to wear during the day on Valentine's Day. I layered a knit pullover sweater over a sheer white polka dot slip dress. The soft peach color of the sweater is a nice change from the usual Valentine pinks and reds. I initially got this slip dress in blue, and I liked it so much that I got one in white. There are lots of ways to wear it (as a slip, dress, tunic, swimsuit cover up, etc.) -- it's such a cute layering piece for all seasons. Read more...

The long-anticipated Jason Wu for Target collection debuts this Sunday, February 5, 2012! Target has partnered with high-end brands in the past (like Italian knitwear designer Missoni in September 2011) that have attracted many consumers who want designer fashion without the high-end price tags.

I saw this Free People Fancy Lace Dress on display and was drawn to the cute details that enhance this nude-colored dress. There are silver metallic foil embellishments that look like tiny silver flowers/leaves stamped all over the fabric. I adore the ruffle trim at the hem as well. Since it has a plunging V-neckline, I wore a sheer black chiffon blouse underneath for a more conservative look. The tie at the neck of this blouse instantly adds a cute bow to any outfit! :) Read more...

I refrained from shopping a couple weeks after the holidays, but that didn't stop me from "window shopping" online. :) This Dropped Dots Dress was the one item I browsed repeatedly online and really wanted to purchase if it fit well. Once I got to try it on at Anthropologie a few days ago, I knew this dress was coming home with me! I like polka dot print in general, but I was particularly drawn to this dress for its simple yet elegant vintage-inspired design. Read more...

My fiancé surprised me with the ultimate birthday (and Christmas) present -- one of the most timeless purses of all time! He picked out this Chanel Classic Flap Bag in black lambskin with silver hardware. This purse is also known as the 2.55 bag, the number referring to February 1955 when Coco Chanel designed the initial version of this handbag. I know that this bag was a big purchase (and an even bigger surprise!), but it's definitely a classic purse that will always be in style. <3 Read more...
