anthropologie - Part Eighteen

I have been on a skirt buying spree. It's fun to buy separates. Though, I never have any tops to wear with skirts. Need to remember to buy outfits and not pieces.



Enchanted Beans Skirt - by floreat. I have not really bought any thing yellow lately. I was due for a fix. Love the light mustard color of this skirt. Looks really great on. I think I could wear a plain white v-neck tee with this, an awesome necklace, and brown leather flats.

Pretty Wisp Skirt - by one september. I am usually not one for light pinks (or any pastel-y color for that matter.) This particular one caught my eye when I first saw it. Then it went on sale and I asked myself, why not? I really like the metallic-y pink. It's slightly tiered at the bottom with gold thread. I think it will look great with a brown leather belt at the waist.

Stone & Cloud Skirt - by odille. When I first saw this, I loved the bold gray and white stripes, but was not too keen on the fabric choice. I kept remembering it over the past couple of months. Saw this in my size and on sale, so again, why not? I really like it and I could picture so many different colored tops to go with it.

Languid Layers Skirt - by odille. I LOVE this skirt. So much that I am thinking about purchasing the other colors. I think the colors in this one is perfect for fall, while the other one is a great summer skirt. There might be the other colors in an upcoming post if I decide to get them also...

Laurasia Left Blouse - by gemma. This blouse is gorgeous. I bought it to wear with the Languid Layers Skirt. They look fantastic together. The different prints make it really fun. Finally, I bought a whole outfit!

Black Knit Top - by ogle. This looks wonderful on with some skinny jeans. I think I will wear it with shorts and black gladiators. The top makes me look and feel skinny, which I like. Simple, but fantastic.

Mod Cloth

This post has been sitting on the back burner for 4 months. Eek! I purchased my first two pieces from Mod Cloth a while ago. I am constantly online browsing at Mod Cloth. They have such fun pieces. Usually, I keep something in mind to buy later, but it always ends up sold out! This time, I took the purchase plunge. I really love the retro/vintage inspired looks of a lot of the items. Their vintage items are great too (and sells out quickly!)



Lemon Drop Dress - How fun is this? The bright yellow dots really make it pop. Perfect fun dress for summer. Need some great sandals to go with this. And a scarf.

Spelling Bee Top - Still on the hunt for more tops and this one is really fantastic. Has a arts and crafts feel to me. Not usually one for the red/white/blue combo, but am definitely happy with this.

Anthropologie - Part Sixteen


Walk A-Ways Dress - by One.September.  I am not usually one for black and white stripes, but I couldn't resist the green skirt of the dress.  I also knew that this dress had a high likelihood of selling out.  So I had to get.  Glad I did because it did sell out in store...and I get a lot of compliments on it.  

Bobbin Lace Racerback -  by Tiny.  How adorable is this tank?  Especially with the eyelet fabric on the right side, which gives this otherwise plain tank a little something.  Could wear with jeans (though not a fan of blue on denim.)  I definitely will wear it tucked into a skirt.

Half Moon Hobo - Such a fun, vintage-esqe bag!  The colors are gorgeous.  My favorite part?  The ric rac on it!  This is such a great summer bag and I hope to have it for years and years to come.

Bamboo Billow Mini - I really like Dolce Vita's line of clothing.  Though, I never had seen it in person.  That is, until I saw this.  The silk feels wonderful.  The shape is fun.  I can't wait to wear it!  I think I'll be pairing it with a bright yellow top and woven brown belt.  

Boyish Charm Kickers - I saw this on someone and fell in love...I never would've tried this on otherwise.  Since I'm short, I tend to stay away from things that are this length.  But I decided to go for it and try it.  I'm already starting to think of my fall/winter wardrobe and think this will fit in so perfectly.  It'll look great with the Jeffrey Campbell ruffle platforms I have.  Or even ankle length boots.  I finally have black pants (haven't had any for 4 years...)

Matthew Williamson for H&M

If there is any thing I love about Vegas, it's the fact that I can pick up things like this.  If I were in LA still, I most likely would not be able to get my hands on a piece from the line in the size I need.  H&M is a zoo when it comes to designer collaborations in fashion-y cities like Los Angeles and NY.  Here in Vegas?  Matthew Williamson who?  This is the only time where people's lack of knowledge in fashion is welcomed.  At the same time though, the store didn't have too many pieces, which is unfortunate as I was eyeing a few more dresses.

Oh, and my husband loved it so much, he bought it all for me!  The first tunic, I really love the print and colors, but didn't really feel as if I would wear it.  Hubby convinced me to get it any ways.  I love the bird tunic though (probably because the chartreuse attracts me more to it!)  And the last dress is fun.  Perfect for summer with sandals and can go into fall with boots (Yup...I am starting to think fall already!)

Hayden-Harnett Sample Sale Pt. 2

Finally getting a chance to post the bags I got from the HH sample sale.  I love sample sales.  

Clarice Train Case - part of the Paule Marrot Voyage collection.  I've always like HH travel bags (garment bag...I am eyeing you!)  The oranges and blue on this bag is gorgeous.  I can either use it as a travel case for my make-up and things or as a regular handbag.  Love that versatility!  

Camille Clutch - I had trouble deciding between the colors, but I ended up picking eucalyptus.  What drew me to the bag was the basketweave and the fact that there is a long strap for easy wearability.  I've been wanting a grey bag over the past year and am very happy with this purchase.  The leather is so soft and supple.  If this came in fun colors, I would be all over it again.

Urban Outfitters




BDG Silk Tunic + skirt - I finally bought a top and a skirt that I would wear together instead of just buying separates.  The colors are a little unexpected, but I really like it together.  Add a belt, and an outfit is made!  The tunic will be good with jeans and a chunky necklace.  

Ecote Scarf Dress - This dress has been in my wish list for some time now.  I stare at it every so often.  I finally went to Urban to browse and saw this dress!  The last one in my size.  Fate?  Maybe not, but I wasn't going to pass it up.  I bought the navy one because I liked it the best.  

White Summer Dress - White is not the best color to wear.  At least for me.  I get things dirty.  Constantly.  At the same time, this dress fit really well and I love the cut outs in the front with the yellow underneath.

Stussy

Sioux City Dress - My husband has gotten back into Stussy...it was a very popular skate brand to wear back in the early 90's after all.  I'm not usually one for clothes like this, but I really love the colors, the print, and the style of this dress.  It'll be great to throw this on with some cute sandals and take off.
