My Style Monday: Lace

14 Replies

(via NY Mag)

I’ve been smitten with this little black dress from Akris’s Fall 2009 collection (the back is even more amazing) and this lace dress from Philip Lim’s Resort 2010 collection since I first saw each of them. Anything lacey has been catching my eye lately, so I was really excited to find this dress while “accidentally” shopping a couple weekends ago…

(Blazer – Theory, Dress – Trinity Organic, Pumps – Burberry)

Throwing a fitted blazer over a pretty dress is my go-to outfit for work/play/life these days…  I love that this dress looks great with tights and boots now but is totally made for sunny, spring days (which i really, really can’t wait for)! I randomly found it at Filene’s marked down to a ridiculous price of something like $16 so of course, I couldn’t resist. It’s fairly shapeless but a skinny belt will fix that. It doesn’t matter under a fitted blazer anyway and the lace is so pretty that’s all that I care about!

A few other lacey pieces I wouldn’t mind having in my closet right about now: Urban Outfitters Thistlepearl Lace Dress ($30) / Christian Louboutin Candy 85 Pumps (on sale for $643 here if you’re a 35.5) / Tory Burch Lace Tunic ($495)

Etsy Find Friday: Ezza Exclusive

23 Replies

Oh man am I ready for the weekend! The past few weeks I’ve been feeling totally wiped out by the time Friday rolls around that I don’t want to do anything but catch up on all the TV I missed during the week and crash early. (ugh I feel old) Anyway, my lease is up next month so I’m thinking about moving to another apartment – or at least using that as an excuse to look at some pretty real estate this weekend! And maybe some pretty jewelry too…

Abstract Coral Cabashon Statement Necklace ($89) / Abstract Turquoise Cabashon Statement Necklace ($89)

Like these goodies from the Ezza Exclusive Etsy shop! I love that her pieces are all unapologetically big and bold. They’d be great at spicing up all the those little black dresses hiding in my closet and they’re pretty affordable too!

Studded Statement Necklace in Azure and Violet ($49) / Embellished Earrings in Ebony and Silver ($49) / Embellished Earrings with Peacock Blue Motif ($39) / Studded Statement Necklace in Pink Glamour (with matching earrings) ($69)

At first I wasn’t quite sure how I felt about the “crafty” quality of the pieces, but I think that’s what makes them seem more special than some other costume jewelry options.

Bejeweled Statement Necklace in Gold ($89) / Bejeweled Layered Statement Necklace ($79)

These last two are my personal favorites! They aren’t as brightly colored as the others but they still pack a big punch! And I’m all about mixed metal layered necklaces… Thoughts, ladies?

I also wanted to say thank you to Nina of Ballerina’s Closet Obsession for giving me me the “You’re a Doll” award! Please stop by her blog and say hi – she’s giving away a gorgeous turquoise ring that I’m sure yall will love! Have a fabulous weekend!

(Do you or anyone you know have an Etsy shop? I’m always on the lookout for new shops to feature. Please drop me a line at wonderfelle [at] gmail [dot] com with any ideas!)
