Last week my friend Maggie was in town visiting and we wandered over to Anthropologie… and I got this tiny windows dress (in the pink… but in the photos it looks MUCH better in lavender). I am in love. They actually didn’t have my size, so it’s in the mail but I’m really excited for it!

It was 50% off…. only $59.95… AND it’s 39.5 inches long!

Color Wednesday: Awesome clothes in the color purple!

Color Wednesday: Okay, not a color, FLORALS!

Seriously, who doesn’t love a good floral print hanging in their closet? One thing that I love about florals is how feminine they are. I also love that each pattern is so different, yet give off the same feminine feel. (minus the dress on the bottom left… that is definitely a different look than the others)

Clockwise from top Left: Dress, Top, Dress (Thanks Heather!!!) Skirt, Swimsuit, Dress

Worth a second look: JCPenney

Emily — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 16:05:32 +0000

When I think of cute clothes, I usually think of stores like Anthropologie (of course), J.Crew, Banana Republic…places that I consider on the expensive side. They just look nicer to me. But, I think a lot of my opinion is successful marketing from those companies. If you take 20 minutes to browse on JCPenney’s website, I think you’ll find quite a few things that you really like, and for a great deal. When shopping at places like JCPenney, places that aren’t as fancy/chic/expensive/whatever the word is, I always try to ask myself:
“If I saw this exact item at Nordstrom, would I love it?”

When I take the JCPenney-ness out of it, sometimes I find myself loving something that I wouldn’t have if I had focused on where it came from. Am I the only one that does this? JCPenney has a lot of cheesy/tacky/mom jeans kind of clothes, but they also have cute clothes. I like cute clothes, and I also like a good deal, so it’s worth wading through the frumpy clothes to find the really cute things. Here are some pretty dresses to check out, all for a great deal:

black wrap dress, pink dress with ruffled neckline, plus-size wrap dress, floral top dress, gray dress with pockets (I LOVE this dress! It would be so fun to accessorize.), flutter sleeve dress with belt, plus-size pink ruched dress

Friday Finds: Woot! To super cute summer dresses!

Loving the dresses I’ve been seeing! Magenta Dress, Patterned Dress (this dress is called “Watering Can” I LOVE that name, it makes me want to buy it and then garden while wearing it!), Striped Blue Dress, Yellow Dress, Purple Dress.

Shabby Apple…oh la la!

Emily — Thu, 06 May 2010 12:00:29 +0000

Have you all been over to Shabby Apple lately? There are so many cute things going on over there. First, I’m still in love with this dress from the Manhattan line (which is also available in plus sizes), and I don’t even really like animal prints. Then, there’s the fantastic 1943 line (my beautiful sister has this dress and it’s seriously adorable), the too cute Central Park line, the not-really-my-favorite Carousel line, a new Baja line (which is wonderful)…and then two more slammin’ lines to torture you with.

First, a line called Golden Gate. It consists of 6 different dresses that are each available in 9 different colors. These are perfect for a bride who is looking for cute and modest bridesmaid dresses. You could pick the color and then have your bridesmaids pick which dress they like best, or you could pick a few colors and have everyone in the same dress but in a few different hues. Oh, and all of the dresses in this line are available in plus sizes.

As far as I know, there’s no law against finding your new favorite dress among these lovelies, bridesmaid or not.

Second, the new Oh La La line. I’m really in love. I love the ruffle front dress that comes in green, yellow, and magenta. And the stripe top with the black A-line skirt? Too cute.

Which line is your favorite? What dresses do you have your eyes on?

Color Wednesday: Spring Greens

Emily — Wed, 05 May 2010 14:20:00 +0000

I’ve had my eye on that cute short-sleeve jacket from Shade Clothing (bottom left) for a little while now, so a light spring green color came to mind this week. I’m definitely feeling the freshness of green lately. Oh, by the way, you know that these Color Wednesday boards are just a big round-up of lovely things all in the same color, right? I was thinking about it this morning and wouldn’t want someone to think I’m implying that green chino trousers would look great with a striped green cardigan, green earrings, and green espadrille wedges. Yikes, that’s a lot of green! These are just fun options to consider adding to your wardrobe to liven it up with some color, but color when it’s all matchy-matchy looks kind of silly, no? What do you think?

striped cardigan, button down shirt, floral skirt, cardigan, earrings, v-neck tee, dress, skirt, slingback flats, pants, knit dress, lightweight jacket, slingback wedges, espadrille wedges
