Polyvore Outfit of the Week: The LBD Three Ways

The LBD 3 Ways


Everyone has a LBD in their wardrobe. But have you ever thought that you could wear it more than one way? Not only this saves you money but can give you the option to wear your favorite dress multiple times. Just make sure that the dress hits above the knee so it will be appropriate for all occasions. For work, I love pairing it with a bright colored blazer for summer. For the weekend wear it with a fun colored scarf or earrings and flats. For the night pair with gold jewelry to make a statement. Find a cross-body bag like the one above where you can use it for both day and night. 
Also, the dress above is only $45! Great deal. You can purchase the dress, HERE. The burgundy heels are from Zara and only $70! And the mustard handbag is only $78 from Romwe. Great deals and prices I must say. 

How do you wear your LBD?

Oscar De La Renta Fall 2012 RTW Collection

Oscar De La Renta

I am loving the pattern of this suit. Mixing it with the fish net hose adds a little edginess.

Oscar De La Renta 2

Lovely dress and would be perfect for fall/winter weddings and special events.

Oscar De La Renta 5

This outfit would be perfect for the holiday events this fall and winter. Loving the skirt!

Oscar De La Renta 6

Such a classy, chic outfit perfect for the office. Who says you can't wear white past Labor Day?

Oscar De La Renta 7

This is a lot of pink but done well. Such a gorgeous gown!

Oscar De La Renta 3

Another stunning gown, a red carpet dress for sure.

Oscar De La Renta never disappoints me with his collections. His looks are always very feminine and ladylike. This collection was no exception. Every piece was well crafted and designed. A collection not to be missed!

What do you think of Oscar's De La Renta's Fall Collection?

Outfit Details:
Maxi skirt: Sheinside.com
Shirt: American Eagle
Sandals: Wal-Mart
Necklace: Forever21
Bangles: Bombay Fashions

Maxi skirts are so nice to wear in the summer time because they are so breezy and lightweight. You can also dress them up and dress them down, making it the perfect skirt! I am loving the color of this skirt. It is a more fall color but it would also be perfect for summer. I received this skirt from Sheinside.com. It is a very comfy skirt and it comes in one size and it fits perfectly! I would say that it wouldn't fit a person larger than a size 12. I am also 5'8" and it hit me right above the ankle so if you are petite you may need to get it hemmed. I chose to pair it with sandals to make the outfit a little more causal.

You can purchase the skirt: HERE 


Hope you all are having a wonderful week!




P.S. I did receive this skirt from sheinside.com for free. I am a collaborator with the company.

Wedding Hairstyles for the Bridal Party/Guests

wedding bridal party hairstyle

These hairstyles are perfect for the bridesmaids and Matron of Honor. They are soft and romantic and perfect for any wedding (informal/formal).

wedding bridal party hairstyle 2

A softer updo that will not compete with the bride's hairdo if she is also doing an updo. Its more softer and I love that the hair frames around the face- very flattering!

wedding bridal party hairstyle 6

For the bridesmaids that have short hair - this one is for you! Wear a headband, a flower in the hair - a hair accessory will be your go to piece.

wedding bridal party hairstyle 3

For the mother of the bride/groom. This hairstyle is super flattering and easy to do!

Wedding of Lisa and Josh

For the moms who have short hair. Add some volume up on top and you will instantly look younger!

Flower girls should also have their hair done fancy. I always say with little kids stick with simple, fun hairstyles. I hated wearing updo's when I was little- It hurt my head. This one is adorable and suitable for any  little girl!


Wedding season is approaching fast and we all need to look our best on that special day. You found the perfect dress, the shoes, the handbag but what about the hair? Any of the hairstyle's above would be perfect. Now some bride's have it in their budget to get the whole bridal party hair done but not everyone.

That is when the ghd hair straightener Peacock Collection comes in:

ghd peacock

This is a limited edition collection and the plate colors come in sapphire blue, amethyst purple and emerald green. ghd has been around for 10 years and became the best hair straightener in 2011 as well as for the past 9 years. It retails for $279. It is quite spendy but well worth the investment. I know people that own a ghd and they have had for over 5 years and it still works wonderfully. I think it pays itself in the long run! You can also create any of the hair styles above with the ghd. That is why its such a great investment. You can straighten and curl with the ghd (and create volume too!).

I also like the color it comes in. It is right on trend for spring and summer. Bold gem colors are huge this season and why not have a hair straightener that shows that trend off! Plus, its fun having a colored hair straightener than a plain black one.


ghd is available in the finest salons and ghdhair.com.

Do you own a ghd and would you purchase the one above if you don't already own one?



 P.S. I am being compensated to write this post. However, this does not change my opinion and I am 100% honest! You all know how excited I am about my wedding! ;)

Fashion Around the World Series: France

France

French Designer Sophie Theallet

Such gorgeous designs and I love the pink dress on the far left!

France 2

French Designer Christophe Josse

This gown is stunning! I am loving the back detailing.

FASHION-FRANCE/

Dior always creates knockout designs. These gowns are no exception. Though these are typically not wearable they are definitely give wonderful inspiration.


France 4

Chanel Spring 2012 RTW Collection

Of course I could not leave out Chanel!! I love this blue dress.

France 5

Street fashion in Paris.

Her outfit is impeccable. So chic and sophisticated. I adore her top.

France 6

Street Fashion in Paris.

Such a classy coat and I love how she paired it with the red gloves.

france 7

More street fashion...

What drew me to this outfit was her skirt. I have never seen anything like it. Glam!

france 8

Another classic outfit. I want her shoes, jacket and pants (well pretty much the whole outfit!).


This weeks fashion around the world series is on France. I have been waiting to do France for a long time and I am sure all of you have been patiently waiting! I made sure that all the fashion featured is worn by people that live in France or are French designers. Paris fashion week is amazing but sometimes features non-french designers. I want to make this series authentic now don't I?! And of course I could not leave out Chanel. If you haven't checked out Chanel's spring 2012 collection, you must! It is a gorgeous collection. France also has some great street fashion. One of the best in my opinion. There is always people with impeccable fashion. I mean Paris is one of the biggest fashion cities in the world! The only thing that was hard to find was Southern France fashion. Sometimes it is nice to compare how people in the north dress compared to the people in the south.

What do you think of fashion in France?




P.S. Random Fact about me: I took 4 years of French in High School but all I now remember is Bonjour and Je Suis Heidi...haha.

Celebrity Fashion Weekly Edition

THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART (LACMA) CHINESE COLLECTIONcelebrity outfit 61

How to copy this look for all under $100!: 
Shirt: Two Pocket woven Shirt for $19.90 at Forever21
Pants: The Rosie Wide Leg pant for $59.60 at Victoria's Secret  (comes in black too!)

Total Price: $79.50

This week's celebrity fashion edition is on Angelina Jolie. I love Angelina's classic outfit here. This outfit would work for so many occasions. Wear this to work and after hours. You can't see what type of shoes she is wearing so I would wear a pair of black heels or red to kick it up a notch. Angelina isn't wearing too much jewelry either, I would wear some statement rings or a bangle. Earrings would be another option. 

What do you think of Angelina's outfit?

I have always admired Scarlett Johansson. She is simply gorgeous. Plus I always look to her for fashion advice as we have a similar body shape. I love the photo shoot she did here for Vogue. Very elegant and timeless. Very old Hollywood and it suits her well. 

What do you think of Scarlett's editorial?

Polyvore Outfit of the Week: The Colored Jean Trend

Colored Jeans


Colored jeans are all the rage this spring. There are cobalt blue to neon yellow jeans to choose from. If you are curvy like me, you can choose darker colored jeans or you can go for a skinny jean like the one above. Also, look for jean material (often a little more expensive) and not the jean material that stretches (lower end brand/prices). This will ensure a good fit. 

Envelope clutches (and smaller ladylike handbags) are also slowly replacing the huge handbags that we have seen in the past. I personally think they are ok if you are on a run. But for shopping and other such activities it's kind of useless. I choose a black clutch in the outfit above to add some depth and interest in the outfit. 

Have you tried the colored jean trend this spring?
