This week I did a short reflection on past blogs, which one
needs to do from time to time and while overall I am pleased with a lot of the
subject matter I realized a re-occurring theme, budgets, deals and sales! I am
going to be perfectly honest budgets are very real for most people and I can’t
deny I love the thrill of a good sale (because saving money means more
shopping!) but we all need an escape from real life sometimes right? So here
are some glam pieces to drool over!
This first dress would be a great piece for any girls
wardrobe (if she could be so lucky!). This fun frock is from Diane Von
Furstenberg, and is a true signature of her feminine style. Amazing wall paper worthy print? Check. Super
breezy and flattering wrap style? Check. Diane Von Furstenberg label? Check. In
case you haven’t heard wrap dresses are a chic lady’s best friend. Why you ask?
Well because they travel well, and flatter most every form highlighting your
natural waist, which by nature is where most every woman is teeny tiny, hence
giving you that goddess hourglass figure! Also, there is generally a great bit
of give in a wrap dress so if you go up or down a size it will still fit comfortably (happens to the best of
us, no worries). You could pair this dress with a solid blazer for work and flats for work,
sandals and chunky jewelry for play and with knee high boots for fall! 
This Tory Burch tweed jacket may not be everyone’s cup of
tea but I am obsessed! First you could wear this jacket with a skirt for tea
with your granny or with jeans out at night. The cut, the fringe on closure and
cuff details, pocket placements, the whole thing is a work of art in my eyes. I
really love a tweed jacket but the blues in this one are particularly amazing
because they make this jacket really versatile. Most girls drool over Tory
Burch’s line of beautiful leather handbags and boots, well cut blouses and
trousers, but at the moment this jacket takes the cake for me!
This last look is a gorgeous dress is Marc by Marc Jacobs.
There is just something about the entire Marc by Marc Jacobs line that is just
really fun, kind of graphic and a little alternative looking that really draws
me in. I can always spot a Marc by Marc Jacobs pieces a mile away, and that really says
something about the strength of a designer (tip of the hat to you sir). One more
thing I have to rant about, the entire Marc Jacobs site is amazing! The design
is immaculate, with well organized tabs, clear photo displays (like boards placed by color, collection, etc) and great close up options of individuals items. I suppose I shouldn’t
expect anything less from a high end designer but small things like a well put
together site can make all the difference! Anyways back to this stylish dress,
it gives an obvious nod to the peplum trend in a girly sophisticated way. And
while the peplum can be very frilly (and sometimes too over the top) the navy
and red colors keep it grounded, and I personally love a horizontal stripe on
top any day. Finally, you can’t tell in this shot but this dress zips up the
back, very cool! Love, love, love me some Marc
