Dress of dreams

This week I decided to post a dress that I love, I found it on Forever21.com. I have heard about all of the legal issues Forever 21 is going through regarding their blatant plagiarism of designers clothing. Tsk tsk Forever 21, tsk tsk. However, I do admit that I love their stuff and their Twelve by Twelve line is great. The designers are in LA and put couture-esque flair on the looks. This week I discuss a dress I am in love with while looking through their website.

This is the "Contrast Ribbon Sweater Dress" under their French Revolution section; they are selling it for $29.00, I don't think it is being sold in every store but I will begin the hunt. I love this dress because the colors contrast so beautifully, it gives shape to someone like myself who is not curvy and lacks a bust. I like the length, since I consider my legs one of my best assets.

Overall, I designate this a "Pam dress" that needs to be in my wardrobe.

A Handbag dream...

I have fallen in love with 2 bags by Marc Jacobs from his Marc line Fall/Winter 2009. The first is the Petal to the Metal Sasha Hobo Bag and the other is the Classic Q Hillier Hobo. These bags are amazing. Big beautiful and come in grape! Who wouldn't want these bags. So the Petal to the Metal is SOLD OUT, yes, SOLD OUT! It is ridiculous. I wanted that bag so much but alas there are non left, unless you want to be overcharged on Ebay. The Hillier Hobo is available so now I am saving in order to purchase it before that one is sold out also. The Hillier Hobo is shown in gray and the Petal to the Metal is shown in black.

New Year, New Project

The initial intent of my blogging adventure rendered a large FAIL. However, I have decided to proceed with new ways to blog that I feel will make this a more enjoyable experience for all involved. After seeing a plethora of blogs that present one's daily look to bags, shoes and items of clothing that they have, want or need I have decided to create a hybrid of these blogging adventures. I begin by posting my look of the week. I wore it today.


I have on Michael by Michael Kors Carney boots ($150 at TJ Maxx), Forever 21 Skinny Jeans in gray ($12.90), H&M black sheer top (free from sister), Gap black spaghetti strap tank ($10), Have open front cardigan ($7.99 at Ross), Vintage necklace from Mom, small gold hoop earrings ($12.99 at Ross) and brown crystal ring inherited from Grandmother.
