Lookbook

I have been on a mission for a yellow strapless dress since once of my closest friends announced she was getting married a year ago.  It was my choice of style and color for what would be a very special occasion. Bah- I failed terribly on this fashion mission. I could never seem to find the right shade, style or price point so I ended up wearing a nice purple strapless number.  Regardless, this dress is still on my mind and I found a few options whilst browsing the interweb- I may just purchase my one 'em.  Enjoy! 1) Target $15 2) Asos $127 3) Shop Bop $342 4) Windsor $65

1) Shop Bop $145 2) Couture Candy $164 3) Shop Bop $218 4) Asos $35

It seems that black is no longer the go to color when it comes to dazzling it up for evening wear. Yay to the fact that we are now in a time where rocking the hot pink and fluorescent yellow is actually quite a propos and black and grey is just so yesterday.

1) Roxy $25 2) Macy's $48 3) Old Navy $30 4) Forever 21 $27 Ahh the denim jacket- not only is it the perfect summer coat for your casual going out for coffee on a wednesday afternoon in may outfits, but it seems that the fashion world has now deemed it evening wear appropriate.  You can pair your glitzy sequin top and chi chi skirt or satin dress with this item and not a fashionista will bat an eye- pretty cool if you ask me seeing as I am all abut versatility, comfort and trying to give off the vibe that I never try to hard (when really I do :P).  Enjoy!

I really love this look- the heaviness of a solid boot paired with a mini dresss.  You can get away with uber short dresses if you pair them with similar chunky shoes.  This look would not have worked as well f Cameron would have worn, say, some sky high stiletto heels. 1) Dress- Asos $50 2) Dress- Fred Flare $84 3) Dress- Asos $17  4) Booties- DSW $70

1) Belt- Dillard's $50 2) Jacket- Bluefly  $132 3) Boots- Charlotte Russe $25

I think this works- I like how Rachel pairs the ultra feminine girly chiffon dress with a tough pair of leggings. This outfit is all about balance and Rachel has achieved it only in true Rachel manner. 1) Couture Candy $93 2) Leather leggings $70

So yah- I am feeling this stuffed pumps situation.  They convey that urban rock chic without having to get a tattoo or anything.  Love it. Cheap 1) Studded pumps- Forever 21 $26 Steep 2) Studded pumps- Saks Fifth Avenue $210 Cheap 3) Boyfriend blazer- Asos $93 Steep 4) Boyfriend blazer- Elie Tahari $318

There is something about one shoulder dresses that makes my heart go pitter patter.  I don't know if it is because I am sick of their strapless counterparts that are just oh so very 2008, leaving little to the imagination.  Or maybe it is because the one shoulder just gives off that greek goddess in a toga vibe that I am definitely feeling these days.  Whatever it is, it works.  I just need to limit myself to maybe 2...ok max 3 and that's it, I promise.  In any case, there are a few cheap vs steep versions below for your viewing pleasure.  Enjoy! 1)Torn by Ronny Kobo   Shop Bop $264 2) Riller and Fount-  Shop Bop $163 3) Alice + Olivia Shop Bop $264 4) Forever 21 $30 5) Asos $43 6) Asos $43

1) Cut off shorts Pac Sun $43 2) Tweed Jacket Talbots $170 3) T Shirt Top Shop $50 4) Necklace Tilly's $8 5) Pumps Steve Madden at Endless $ 100 What an interesting look- not something you see every day which is why I felt the need to book it.  I am really loving how Beyonce picked the ladylike tweed jacket to pair the cut off shorts with when she could have easily opted for the boyfriend blazer or even the "let's emphasize the fact that shoulder pads or even shoulders for that matter are in" blazer.  Kudos to Beyonce- the pink is refreshing, the layered necklaces are not over the top and the cut off shorts cut off just right and show off those killer legs of hers. Awesome.

1) Boots  Piperlime $40 2) Tunic  Forever 21 $16 3) Blazer Alloy $30 4) Purse Jessica Simpson $73

Cheap 1) Forever 21 $7 Steep 2) Anne Klein $97

I know, I know- Anna's look here is nothing revolutionary nor is it groundbreaking.  But I think it is nice to emphasize how prints (whether they be floral, tribal, technicolor or artsy) really help pull together an outfit.  Had the dress been a solid color, I would have paid it neither gaze nor glance but now its got its very own posting- whooppee! 1) Revolve Clothing $70 2) Asos $65 3) Endless $70
