J'Adore....

274752679_o.jpg
Thumbnail image for fc5b_1_sbl.JPG.jpegThough I'm normally not much of a label person, I have a  huge soft spot for vintage designer accessories. I love old, even slightly beat up pieces by Gucci, YSL, sometimes Chanel, and especially Dior. They just feel very glamorous to me in a way that's from-the-past chic, but not show-offy. Searching around eBay just today, I found these fantastic-weird sunglasses, a pretty and feminine makeup bag, this ultra-fashiony heavy-hardware necklace, a sleek black purse, and one fold-over clutch, which I'd pair with a silky, bright-red sundress and feel like the most sophisticated lady in all the land.

P.S. Serious question: If I bought and wore one of those J'Adore Dior t-shirts would it be cool and retro and like an early '90s supermodel or would I look like a jerk? I can't always tell if something is too soon...

Cute Outfit for $50

American Apparel saved my life this weekend. I was running late for dinner reservations with some friends on Friday night and my boyfriend was rushing me out the door. The corseted sundress I threw on felt a little snug, but I didn't have time to think of a new outfit. I figured I could deal with it until I was on the subway en route to the restaurant. That's when I realized I could barely sit, let alone eat in this dress. Panicking, and extremely uncomfortable, I knew I had to find something else to wear asap. That's when I saw American Apparel. I ran in, picked up this adorable tulip skirt in grey and one of their unisex v-neck tees and was in and out with a new outfit for $50 in less than 10 minutes. That's a good deal no matter what the circumstance! And it looked so cute that no one, save myself and my boyfriend, had any clue it wasn't the outfit I had planned to wear all along.

Stocking up: Henleys

Thumbnail image for Picture 11.jpegDon't you guys find that the minute it starts to get really hot, it becomes exceedingly difficult to get dressed in the morning? This is particularly true on the weekends, when I find myself reaching for either some sort of shirt dress, or a slouchy tee. Which is why I went into Gap the other day to check out the CFDA offerings (the Vena Cava dress is super cute, but alas, I've seen too many of them on girls on the street to buy one for myself), and found myself stocking up on these henleys instead. They're fitted, yet slouchy, and the neat little row of buttons are nicely spaced, which means that you can unhook a few without feeling like you're falling out of your shirt.

Short and Sweet

I know the idea is not quite original, but I can never seem to have enough floral skirt options--especially if they only set me back $20. This daisy print one by Tracy Feith for Target is too perfect: just the right amount of volume and isn't too short to wear to the office. I'd rock this with a black top and some tough heels, so the overall look doesn't come across as being too feminine. Why am I such a sucker for these Target designer collaborations?  Are you?

On the Search for the Perfect Camisole

Camisoles are essential to every wardrobe and yet, it can be surprisingly difficult to find good, versatile ones that work with a variety of outfits. Alternative Apparel's sheer spaghetti tank is the most perfect layering piece I've come across. I literally wear one every day. The color selection and cut of the tank work with anything and everything. And they look great on their own, too.

The Perfect Daytime Travel Bag

7627_5922.jpgI want an under-the-radar bag to take with me when I travel abroad—something lightweight, durable, and compact. Low-key is a must, but even though I'm not really looking to score major fashion points here, I don't want anything that looks too outdoorsy either. And for the sake of making me less of a target for pickpocketers, (I was mugged once in Florence—by a gaggle of little girls no less!—and have been paranoid ever since) I'd like it to have zippers and I'd like to be able to wear it slung across my chest (which is also the most comfortable, convenient style to carry for any extended period of time). This LeSportsac bag checks all my prerequisites. I love that it has several different compartments for organizing my stuff, and the nylon material it's made out of is exceptionally rugged though weighs next to nothing. Buy it here for $38.

Ultimate Summer Stain

Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for Covergirl_outlast_lipstains.jpgRight now, I just don't want much color on my lips. The new lip stains from CoverGirl are perfect: Not sticky or glossy, and what I love almost as much as the foolproof, perfectly-matte lipstick effect is the magic-marker pen it comes in. (Since it sits right next to my keyboard, it's doubled as an actual pen on more than one occasion.)
