Item of the Day: ASOS Max C Peter Pan Collar Pleated Dress

By 1 Comment

Hey dolls! I was doing some online window shopping lol and came across this AMAZING dress for spring. Remember March is only two days away and so that means it is almost time to pull out the flirty dresses and skirts! Well this ASOS Max C Peter Pan Collar Pleated dress is perfect for the spring.

What I love most about this look is not only the pretty peach color, but the non traditional pleats. Usually when you see pleats it is the fully body of the skirt, but here it is only the bottom right above the hem line. This isn’t something that you see everyday with pleats so you’ll definitely stand out.

Style Tip: Build from the Smallest Detail

By 2 Comments

Most of the time I try to prepare my outfits for work on Sunday. Every Sunday after church I stand in front of my closet thinking…hmmm what am I going to wear this week? Well I manage to put together 4 looks for Monday-Thursday. Since Fridays are casual I throw on a pair of jeans and top and call it a day. So I usually start with the outfit basics like a dress, pants, top or whatever. I never think about my accessories.

Well fashion guru Lloyd Boston says it’s easier to “dress from small to big.” Meaning start with your accessories and build from their. He says “Start with the littlest detail that you’ll wear and build up to the big pieces for a totally unexpected look. An earring can inspire a total ensemble. Select a  small iece that has a story, some character, a history, and unique details to pull from. “

I never thought about UBD (understanding by design-backwards design) for clothing. If anything I would start with the shoes that I would want to wear, but never the accessories. So ladies (and gents) for that unexpected look start styling from the littlest detail.

Here is an ensemble that I built using this tip. I started with the layered necklace and went from there.

What She Wore: Zoe Saldana in Balmain and Brian Atwood at the Independent Spirit Awards

By Leave a Comment

It is no surprise that Zoe Saldana is definitely one of our favorite fashionistas. She always wows us with her dress selection on the Red (or purple) Carpet. Well she definitley turned up the wow factor in this Balmain min floral dress at the Independent Spirit Awards. Zoe Saldana is paired this dress with a pair of nude Brian Atwood pumps. Her makeup was minimal but the overall look was definitely flawless.

I love the open back. It is a cute little surprise when you turn around.

What do you all think about Zoe’s look?
