I Heart Cara Accessories!

I found another great online boutique with really cute clothes, accessories, and more. 1 Happy Girl Boutique has something I haven't seen before. It's "Ask Paige" section lets you type in a question about fashion or putting together and outfit, and someone (I guess Paige) will get back to you with an answer. Pretty neat, eh? Here are some of the items they offer.

Vote Winner: Snakeskin!!!

Well, the votes were tallied and the jury's back in. The winner was overwhelmingly snakeskin, by 75%! This really wasn't the animal print I expected to win out, but I guess that's why we have Democratic votes in the first place. I found some pretty awesome snakeskin items. Let me know what you think!

Etsy Find: The Ardent Sparrow

Lately, I have been really interested in all of the Victorian inspired jewelry I have seen in stores, online, and especially in blogs. I love the layers of flowers and colors that go into these beautiful pieces. I was searching through Etsy for some of this jewelry and I came across The Ardent Sparrow. I immediately fell in love with their flower rings (and they all come at a very good price!). What do you think? Here are a few I really like...

Oh Dear, Oh Deer.

What the heck? Have you ever seen a shoe styled in this way? I certainly haven't. Oh Deer's Sandy is moving beyond just out of the box. This is truly unique. I can't decide if I like it or if it worries me. What do you think? Do you think this styling is even feasible to walk in? I seem to be at a loss for words.

I've Got Floral Fever

The weather is warming up again and I'm enjoying all of the blossoms and daffodils. Since I can't have a flower garden where I currently live, I decided that making a garden in my closet was the next best thing.

Fashion Show: Cloé

Cloé's Fall line has been out of a while, but I hadn't had a chance to check it out until now. It's interesting, but I'm not sure if it's wearable off of the runway. I did really enjoy her Spring 2009 show though. To see her lines, go here. What do you think of these two shows? Do you think her Fall line is wearable in the real world?


Here are a few outfits from her Fall line:









Here are a few from this Spring's line:

Jeffrey Sebelia

Do you remember Jeffrey Sebelia? He was the winner of "Project Runway" a few seasons back. Jeffrey was the one who was sort of punk-rockish and always made really creative garments. He was my favorite through the whole season and I was so excited when he won. Last night, he somehow popped into my mind and I wondered what he was doing now. I found a line of his called Costa Nostra, which includes men and women's apparel. Many of the pieces reminded me of what I saw during the show. To see the website, click here.

In Style's Look of the Day

Have you today's In Style look of the day? They are on the same page as I am with fun dresses this season. They featured Diane Kruger in a super cute ensemble. I always disregard top and skirt sets as being formal, but she shows that they totally can be. I just wanted to share this because I love it!
