Great Minds Think Alike

Forever 21 top, purse, and bracelets, Hot Kiss jeans, BCBGeneration wedges, Fossil watch, Tobi ring, Beacon's Closet sunnies

I was contemplating purchasing this top when I first spotted it at Forever 21, but for whatever reason I let it go. My aunt ended up getting it for me as a birthday gift. I love the loose fit, cropped cut and Peter Pan collar made of crochet lace. I wore this out for brunch with my family, followed by a trip to the theatre to watch the new Spiderman movie. Random, but Emma Stone is a total friend in my head. Just love her!

Dreadlock Rasta

dress - Marshall's (old), DIY vest - vintage, DIY sandals, necklace & bracelets - F21, ring - Tobi, watch - Fossil

No, I'm not sporting dreadlocks, but I think this dress would be perfect for walking the beaches of Jamaica. Since it is a tube top my DIY jean vest made it work appropriate. The bright pops of color on this maxi always seem to brighten my day.

All in The Details

blouse, jeans, necklace, bracelets - F21, shoes - Marshall's, watch - Fossil, clutch - Gap

Lace trim and fabric covered buttons - it's these types of delicate details that I am drawn to.  When I saw this blouse online I knew I had to have it.  I was even more smitten the day it arrived at my door because I could truly see all the subdued embellishment up close and personal.  This is what I wore to our Sunday tea.  I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.

Fit To Be Tied

blouse - F21, pants - Old Navy, shoes - Payless, watch - Fossil, accessories - assorted stores

I love polka dots and blouses that tie at the neck. It goes without saying that when I spotted (no pun intended) this shirt at Forever 21, I had to grab it up.  To add a pop of color I wore my hunter green cords and yellow patent pumps. 

Preggo Style

I am completely elated to become an auntie for the third and fourth time very soon.  Both my sister and sister in law are expecting.   It is such an exciting time!

Anywho, I really think maternity clothes and style have evolved for the better.  It is no longer about wearing a mumu or some shapeless piece of clothing.  The belly is being embraced and I love it.  Even stores like Forever 21 are meeting the needs of mommies to be with their new maternity line.  Here are some examples of true hot mama style...

Foreva

This past weekend I paid a visit to the new Forever 21 flagship in Times Square.  I was avoiding going there for a while because I am not one for huge crowds and uncomfortable shopping experiences.  I was convinced that the four story, 90,000 square foot emporium o' goodies was going to give me an anxiety attack.  Luckily, it was not too crowded at all and the lines at the register were a breeze.   You could literally spend hours there because it's so huge.  It's almost a little overwhelming.  Here are a few shots I took before security came and rained on my parade.  Apparently you aren't allowed to take pictures.  Oopps! ; )

Fabsugar's Look of the Day - Thursday

Holy crap! Those were the words I uttered when the lovely Valerie of Red Vines for Breakfast congratulated me on being featured as Fabsugar’s “Look of the Day” yesterday. I had no idea so thanks, Val! Not gonna lie I was pretty excited after I heard the news. ; ) The outfit that was posted was the one I wore to my husband’s art show.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Heavy Metal

Sometimes all you need is a really great necklace to complete an outfit. I am loving all the different metal bib necklaces that are out there. Bib necklaces can complement an outfit or just be the focal point. Here are a few lust and must options...

Knuckle Up!

I had to share my latest Forever 21 acquisition. I am in LOVE with this ring! I have been pretty obsessed with two finger rings for a while now. When I saw this one I knew I had to have it and at $4.80 there was no hesitation at all! Check out these splurge worthy two and multi finger rings...
