Rehearsal Dress...

This Phoebe One Shoulder Silk Dress is ga-ga-gorgeous! I was trying to figure out where exactly I could wear such a fancy white dress (obviously not as a guest to a wedding!) and the only thing I could think of in my near future was my rehearsal dinner. Although it might be a little dressy for our plans, I just think there is something to be said about the simple white and block combo, and the flowered asymmetrical strap. It is a bit Carrie Bradshaw circa season three but and let's be honest is just too cute! At $308 it is a bit of a stretch to justify, but if it went on sale a little it might just be worth it!

Forever Frugal Friday

I adore and always keep on hand some cheap sunglasses because I ALWAYS lose my sunglasses. I just picked up these fancy Aviators a couple weeks ago at Forever and I must say that I get compliments every time I wear them. They are a bit more feminine with the oval shaped lenses and the gold compliments all things sunny. Most importantly they are $5.80 and if I lose them, no biggie....I already got a spare. Spare some change and protects those eyes, Top Gun style!

Have a fabulous weekend!

You're A Shining Star

If you will be hitting up Vegas soon (like myself) or have just been dying to buy a really nice all sequin top, I highly recommend this sassy Alice + Olivia Beaded Racerback Tank on sale right now at Saks! This well crafted, beautiful tank top normally would run you about $367, however it is marked down to $109.42 right now! Alas, it is not a possibility in my near future but it could be a part of yours!

Project Runway: RAW Edition

Last nights episode of Project Runway might have been my favorite this season so far. The challenge was for the designers to create a look for a WWE Diva that would also function in the ring. Now you must remember that these designers are used to working with fabulous fabrics and being told that it must be fashionable. In this challenge all the rules essentially were thrown out the window, because trying to make a fashionable look out of spandex just doesn't go hand in hand. However, the designers actually created some very fun looks that did not disappoint!

The winning look and definitely one of my favorites was Chris'. His diva Maria said she loved leopard and Chris not only created a fabulous costume but also pleased his client. You can't tell but the lining of the hoodie had sequins and he had also made matching sequin gloves. Purrrrrfect!

Christian's leather and lace, dominatrix look for diva Kristal, had Michael Kors all hot and bothered (but in a good way). Kristal's exact words were that she loved leather and lace. Throw some chaps and fur into the mix and viola! A FIERCE outfit and another happy client.

Jillian's diva Michelle described herself as "All-American, girl-next-door, & sporty". Well this looks fulfills all of the above. It reminded me of a fashionable American Gladiators costume, mixed in with a little Sporty Spice meets Posh Spice, and it was so, so nice!

Unfortunately for Ricky diva Layla wanted to take his James Bond Girl, swimsuit costume into the ring for a thorough beat down. While it would make a cute swimsuit, in the ring, I don't think so. It wasn't costumey (I know not really a word) enough, and the client was not enthusiastic, and our dear friend Ricky got Auf'd.

I highly recommend catching a rerun of this episode if you can. Tim Gunn's reactions, Christian's fierce references, and these diva's struts down the runway, all proved quite entertaining.

Wino Wednesday

I happily celebrated my 28th birthday this past weekend with all of my wonderful friends. There was an abundance of celebrating...so much so that Super Bowl Sunday was spent recovering on the couch in my sweats with Waldo.

One of the yummy drinks we indulged in that night was Francis Coppola Sophia Sparkling Wine. When my girlfriend Christy called me on the way home saying she just bought the prettiest bottle of sparkling wine for the evening, I just knew it was this bottle! It is a very crisp sparkling wine, fruity but not in an overly sweet way, and looks very pretty in your glass. I appreciate this sparkler even more since Francis named it after his daughter Sophia Coppola. As an added bonus, this empty bottle will now be filled with some cute flowers and placed in my bathroom because the label is just too cute for words.


Now, if you just want to indulge in a little sparkling wine....perhaps the Sophia Mini Blanc de Blanc is for you. I LOVE these little cans of sparkling champagne, and to be honest I prefer the taste in the can (but that may be due to the ADORABLE packaging). These cute pink cans are the perfect little treat to yourself before heading out of the evening and each can comes with it's own straw (my favorite part!).

If you prefer your sparkling wine out of the glass or are quirky and like it in a can, Francis Coppola has you covered either way!

Lovely Lingerie

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, now is the time to treat yourself or that special someone to some pretty lingerie. The best selections are out there in all sorts of fun colors and different varieties.

This little number from Betsey Johnson, is just too cute and too sweet for words. It looks comfy, sweet and adds a little bit of girlish charm to it.

Equally fun and sassy is this Betsey Johnson 'Popcorn Dot' Babydoll. I love the color, and the lace on this babydoll.

I think this Vera Wang Collection Short Gown is the definition of classy and romantic when it comes to lingerie. The violet exudes sexiness and is definitely a piece you could have for years and years.

Let your inner Pussy Cat Doll out in this saucy Flamingo D&G Intimates Semi Padded Balconette Bra. Be sure to rent (or buy) Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease Collection for full effect.

Hanky Panky has outdone themselves with their Bra, Thong, Garter Belt ensemble. Hanky Panky thongs might be the most comfortable pair of underwear I have ever worn and lets be honest, a garter belt = instant sex appeal. Garter belts just scream sexy and Hanky Panky does not disappoint with their interpretation using navy blue, tiffany blue and lace.

So even if you don't have that special someone to wear these for right now, you never know when one might pop into the picture and it is always good to be prepared and have a little somethin', somethin' ready. These pieces also would make great gifts for the wife to be, and I am sure her husband will be thanking you for this gift also! Plus, every girl really should own one piece of lingerie that makes her feel sexy in every way possible.

On a random side note, does anyone else think this model looks like she could be a relative of Audrina Partridge from The Hills? Just a thought....

Forever Frugal Friday

I have really been feeling this nautical look that is in every store you walk into right now. I mostly blame Rachel, Joey and the Mr. Bowmont from Friends. I love the stripes, the simple primary colors and of course the ropes and knots! The Woven Eyelet Top is a little nautical (see the ropes and knots?), but still girlie and fun. I see it with some white pants and of course some cute, bright wedges. So what if it isn't the most functional top for sailing, at least you will look fabulous sailing away!
