30 for 30 remix no. 7

Wow! I can't believe I've made it through the first week of the 30 for 30 posting everyday :) I'm so glad. Maybe this challenge won't be so hard after all. Now I just have to make sure I will stay away from the mall ;) But I have to go there today! LOL only for lipgloss from Sephora tho. Running out of Smith's Rosebud Salve, my fav.

30 for 30 remix no. 6

Aww, Saturdays. Nothing is better than a relaxing Saturday. Other than my Pretty Petal Mini Skirt by J. Crew of course. This skirt is very versatile and I love that I can dress it up or dress it down. Its also very comfortable! I am so glad I put this skirt in the challenge, it is definitely one of my J. Crew treasures. Now, if I could only get my hands on the Pretty Petal Cardigan.....

30 for 30 remix no. 4

I'm super excited for tonight. You know why? Because I get to wear this wicked awesome little number! Tonight the Art Gallery I work at is throwing the opening night for the new exhibit.....aka BIIIIIG deal. And I have to look ultra cute, obvi. I feel like my outfit is very Kate Spade inspired, although my wardrobe completely lacks Kate Spade-ness. I'm also thinking I may cheat by wearing the gladiators to walk to the gallery and then switch to heels, for professionalism's sake. Thoughts? Is the sweater guard clip too much? Channeling my inner Emma Pillsbury here! hehe

30 for 30 remix no. 2

Come my lady, come, come my lady. You're my butterfly, sugar, baby. Yep. That juuuuust happened. I quoted from that rando band Crazy Town. I know, very 1999 of me. But for some reason that's what came to mind when I started to type.



On a more relavant note, this red pencil skirt is the BEST. SKIRT. EVER. I got the idea for buying one from Jean from Extra Petite. At first I thought the idea of a red pencil skirt was not really my style. Seriously, I'm loving it - its much more versatile than I thought and goes with everything in my closet. So glad I included it in this challenge. Does anyone else have a red pencil skirt? Is it your best friend?






Red Butterflies
Zara blouse, Jacob skirt, Joe Fresh belt, Aldo
gladiators + ring, Le Chateau clutch 











I mentioned before that I am a complete fool for butterfly
prints. So you can image how excited I was when I found this
silk blouse! It's so gorgeous, I totally adore it. What does
everyone else think? I love my style, but sometimes I wonder,
 in the words of Kurt Hummel, if I
"Somehow manage to dress like a toddler and grandmother
at the same time..."

30 for 30 remix no. 1

And so it begins! My first 30 for 30 remix. I'm really excited for this challenge and I hope I make it to the end - mainly on the "no shopping"part. We'll see how well I hold up :) I found I have picked a lot of items with bright colors and prints, so this may end up being a real challenge...and just from looking at other's picks, some people have more basics to choose from. I hope I've made the right decision!



First I haaaaaaad to start off with my favorite yellow dress. I love yellow - its my summer color! This is an outift I typically pair with this dress: dress + cardi + necklaces.....We'll see if I can find another way to wear this later on. Let the remixing begin! Enjoy!







*drumroll*  THE YELLOW DRESS *cheers*

"Tas, I could just make that...." And Voila! Woe solved. Here's the Anthro version incase you've been living in a cave.

Shoe Splurge Saturday

You know what I really love in a good shoe? A big ol' chunky heel. Great for walking. Looks super fun. And doesn't get stuck in cracks between boards or stone. Fabulous. So here's some of my current favs. P.S. my friend Jane over at Jane's Addiction has the Le Chateau ones in black.....totally jealous!










Sparkly Sources:
1. Bebel Textured Cotton Platform Pumps, Charlotte Olympia was $930 now $465!
2. Leather Strap Cork Heel Sandal in coral, Le Chateau $80
3. Olivia Jade Cork Plaited Sandals, Topshop $100

4. El Penon Platforms, Anthropologie was $ 638 now $450!





What are your thoughts on chunky heels? Love em? Hate em? Never tried em?

NSWOR: Recreating J. Crew Looks

Sparkly Source


Ever wonder when you're shopping online if the clothes will look the same on you as they do on the model? I'm sure you do, I'm sure everyone does. I've collected a lot of J. Crew items and I just thought I'd do a little post with outfits inspired by the J. Crew catalogues - and I chose to highlight on the sequin skirt just because it is a difficult item to wear. I threw in some others for some fun! Well....only the ones that worked.... hahah :) Enjoy!



Look no. 1




Okay I love this look, but these sequin skirts are hard to wear!
They look lovely, but are prone to wear and tear very easily, also
my sequin skirt isn't the J. Crew on pictured above....its actually a
sequin scarf my mum fashioned into a skirt, just cause she's got mad
sewing skillz. Actually, I like her skirt better than the J. Crew one.....Opps







Joe Fresh shirt, skirt by my mum, J. Crew shoes, gifted socks, AE belt






Look no. 2




So I kinda improvised for this one but I really like this outfit.
I'm wearing the real J. Crew sequin mesh bell skirt in oyster here,
it's pretty cute, very short, but has pockets unlike my scarf skirt.
Maybe next time I'll try it with a long sleeve white blouse :)







Suzy Shier blouse, J. Crew skirt + shoes + necklace, UO tights






Look no. 3




Love, love, love this outfit! I don't have the Delaney skirt
so I just subbed with my sequin skirt....and if you're worried
about the sequin skirt catching on chairs etc. wrapping a sweater
helps a lot. It actually looks pretty cute too!







J. Crew skirt + blouse, TNA sweater, Aldo shoes,
AE watch, Joe Fresh belt









Look no. 4




This is definitely my favorite outfit of the bunch, chic but
casual. And I had not thought of pairing my oxfords with
thigh highs before - I really like them together!







TNA sweater, J. Crew skirt, ASOS thigh highs,
Le Chateau leather jacket, Aldo shoes









Look no. 5







LOVE the voile skirt....so fabulous....fits, looks, feels fab!
This outfit is so adorable, I really love it and had it specficially
in mind when I bought the skirt. But it's very versatile! Looks
amazing with a boyfriend blazer or tank. LOVE!







Joe Fresh top, J. Crew voile skirt, Aldo sandals, AE necklace









Look no. 6




And last but not least, something new from the May 2011
 catalogue! I love this and am surprised I didn't think of it before!
Might have thrown  in the fedora on a whim ;)







UO fedora, Joe Fresh shirt, American Apparel skirt,
Aldo shoes, AE watch + belt












Do you ever copy looks from the J. Crew catalogue - or any other retailor? I love doing it when I see something that suits my style and I especially love when I don't have to buy anything new because all the pieces to the puzzle are already in my closet :D
