Dress Of The Day

Speaking of black dresses, check this Crepe Sheath Dress out on super sale at Ann Taylor Loft.  What more can you ask for really?  It is simple, classic, HAS POCKETS, and an interesting neckline. 

The previous post before this, “Buckle Up!“, has some great belts that you can pair it with to make it interesting.  If you look closely you’ll see the model wearing peep toe shoes and tights and I will with-hold my hatred of that trend for a later post. 

Let’s focus here though…this dress is a steal!  Also, this Long Gold Fringe With Studs Necklace also on sale at Ann Taylor Loft and would look great with it! 

Buckle Up!

Oh the things I do for my shopping addiction research!  I was browsing the aisles of my favorite place Anthropologie for knobs for a bureau of mine and out jumped the cutest, most adorable belt I’ve ever seen.  I just HAD to try this Blooming Trio Belt on and it did not disappoint.  I was strong-willed though and left it right in the store. 

Okay what really happened is I couldn’t decide between this one and a lovely deep purple, black, and grey one that isn’t on the website but may be in your local store.  Old Me would have bought both but I survived and I left empty-handed but I can’t stop thinking about these belts.  Someone HAS to buy one! 

Anyway, peep some other belts that have caught my eye lately.  There’s no better way to have a little fun with an old staple outfit than with a belt.   For me, you know that staple outfit is a black dress…lol.  Can’t you just see how any of these belts would spark up my black wrap dresses?  Let’s all sigh together now!

A. Anthropologie Brown Clasp Belt
B. NY&Co Distressed Stretch Belt (I’m partial to the grey one)
C. JCrew Skinny Patent Leather Belt* in Redwood
D. Anthropologie Transmissions Belt in Copper
E. NY&Co Multi Ring Stretch Belt
F. JCrew Silk Bouquet Sash* (I’m all about this Grey Mist but it also comes in all black)

*extra 20% off until Sunday, January 17th using code EXTRA20 for all Final Sale items.

Soul Power

I love these pillows on sale at Pottery Barn but how much more fab would they have been if the JOY pillow was instead a SOUL pillow??!!  Okay, I’m over it but I’m saying.  Anyway, Pottery Barn is having a hell of a sale so check the rest of the stuff out.   Oh and these pillows are only $15.

Half Crazy

 

 For some crazy reason, DSW has decided to offer an extra 50% off of all clearance shoes.  I’m not about to argue with them and I suggest you don’t either.   Run, don’t walk.  A bunch of goodies are already sold out but these  Civico 10 Right Now Leather Riding Boots along with some other treats are still left.  The sale code is 50CLEAR and it’s good until Monday, January 28th.

Yay Or Nay?

I’m all about wedges right now but these really confuse me.  I love the color, I love details but I’m still not sold.  What do you think?  These Deena & Ozzy Woven Wedge Booties are brand spanking new to the pages of Urban Outfitters. 

Slip And Slide

These Roost Mop Slippers are the cutest, most  useful slippers ever!  As a person who likes to drip dry after a shower (rub yourself in oil/lotion while you’re still damp without toweling off and thank me later), these would definitely come in handy.  I wonder if I can also dust hardwood floors in them.  Lol!  Oh hush, you know you wanna try.  For only $20 with an extra 25% off at Neiman’s, one of us definitely should.

Buck Naked On A Bear Skin Rug

Okay, not really but this rug is calling me like Pookie to crack rocks.  I love the texture and in decor I’m so addicted to browns.  It looks so soft I really would give some thought to rolling around on it in the buff.  Anyway, you’ll see more of these posts because I just moved and I need to whip my apartment into shape!

In The Meantime

Listen, I know.  I’ll be back.  I even have a great camera now (best Cashmas present ever that was immediately put to use!).  Woohoo!  But yes, Happy New Year.

Oh and this outfit?  Dress, $50.  Shoes, $55.  Bra, $8.  Stockings, $4.  Hat, Free.  Smile and one of the best New Year’s Eves Ever?  PRICELESS!

Where Do We Go From Here?

 

No one can fade this man.  Get familiar, Eric Roberson.  Thank me later. 

Anyway, yes I’ve been ghost.  I’m sorry.  Happy holidays and all.  I’ll be back.  I just moved and I’m drowning in a pile of boxes, mistletoe, shea butter, and sale coupon codes for gifts I have yet to purchase.  Where do we go from here?  Wherever we want.

Put On A Lil Makeup

It seems like just yesterday I was buying my baby sister her first makeup book, The Color Of Beauty by fly lady Iman. Now I could really use lil sis’ help in getting my smokey eye together. Isn’t she so purty? And check out her makeup skills.

Now that Iman book is a classic but you may want to consider gifting someone this new Sam Fine instructional dvd too. And if you wanna seem extra nice, you’ll add this $10 makeup kit from Lord And Taylor that could be used for practicing. Ladies young and old would appreciate a gift like this.

And maybe one day you’ll be so lucky that years and years later that they’ll thank you for it randomly while makeup shopping together. You’re welcome, Lil Sissy and you are beautiful most importantly inside, but also outside with or without makeup. Kisses! I’m still gonna steal your eyelashes…sleep light!
