Spring SpLuRe

Just dropped a lot of dough on this baby from Guess. It's sooooo pretty though.....

















Trends I love:


1. Plain t-shirts: who KNEW that one day t-shirts would make a fabulous come-back? I'm certainly enjoying the tee with sexy blazer on top look. Comfy, washable, but unforgiving on body flaws-- which is why I'm still shopping for my perfect white tee

2. Blazer and other menswear: I have owned the male-esque, unfitted and long blazer since early high school (when even a semblance of fashionable style was accidental) and always had a soft-spot for menswear

3. Sequins and embellishments: quoting my best friend: "It seems like you were getting ready for this to come back into style for a while now". Yes, I love and have always loved sequins and embellishments, and now I can buy it without looking like a
pre-teen shopping at Wet Seal.
If you want to try sequins without going outside your fashion comfort zone, I recommend a pretty pastel colored or metallic sequin tank to be worn with a classy cardigan or long sweater

4. Big bold flower jewelry: classy, gorgeous, and dresses up any t-shirt or shirt dress instantaneously. Easy addition to any outfit for those fashion-handicapped like me.

5. Business Professionals recently got some love from Fashion Week

According to a WSJ article "Fashion's New Muse: The CEO": "In Milan, Gucci, Jil Sander, Etro, Marni, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Bottega Veneta and Aquilano Rimondi all showed elegant, classic versions of women's suits—tailored jackets with either pants or skirts to match."
"Linda Fargo, Bergdorf Goodman's fashion director, said she welcomes the "return to classic tailoring." What followed at Gucci was a lot of matching gray suiting—tailored jackets and long pants—and an emphasis on texture and luxury fabrics."

Dear designers, thank you for finally noticing that along with movie stars, trophy wives, and socialites, and sheiks, the only other people who can afford your clothing are suit-wearing, paycheck earning women in business.


I'm in a shopping mode, which clearly means something is bugging me. Right now, it's trying to figure out how to tell my parents that I want to move to New Orleans for a few months. My mom has her happiness somehow wrapped up in me being close by, which is cute, and understandable, but it makes leaving very hard when I do come home. That means either I stay away for a while or just deal with breaking my parents' heart anytime I want to go anywhere.

Yeah, no easy decision there.

So, I'll just shoe and jewelry shop instead :)
