The Cheap Girl

I know that we’re just slowly just about to enter the winter months but I could not resist posting this.  I saw this and started thinking about spring and summer dresses. It’s affordable (hello $12,50!), comes in 3 wearable colours and the dress style is flattering for all body shapes. If you don’t want to wait until the spring to wear it, the dress can always be paired with warm tights and a wrap cardigan. Tres cute! I missed the free shipping promo that they had on Monday but with shipping and taxes it should add up to be a little over $20 or I could just go to a Forever 21 location and save on the shipping cost. What to do? What to do?

Celebrity Style: Emma Watson in Polka Dots

By now you all know that I adore polka dots and you might be sick of it. I am sorry but it’s my weakness! Emma Watson looks so cute and girlish in this dress. Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince will open on July 15, 2009 in Canada. I am so excited!

Sweet dreams to all! xoxo

Trend Alert: Emma Watson in saddle shoes. This shoe is making its way back up to the popular mainstream.

I am also loving the ruffled hemline of this Forever 21 dress. I can twirl in this all day!

Effortless. Simply gorgeous.  I love the slightly tousled hair, nude lips, smokey eyes and THE DRESS. I love, love, love, love, love the dress and she has the body to boot! I am almost salivating. I would probably wear this dress with a fitted blazer with flats or thong sandals for an understated look. I might sex it up with open-toed heels/sandals at night. I can imagine her (*Giorgia) sitting at a cafe having an espresso and smoking a cancer stick. What a glam puss and I want this dress.

Here is a dress from Dillard’s. I think that it’s the same one.  I am still looking for a Canadian alternative.

Simple Florals

Isn’t she lovely? One of the best perks of summer are the beautiful flowers. Whether in fashion or in their actual form, they evoke beauty, grace and femininity. This picture from The Sartorialist reminds me of a Renoir painting. I love her bright dress, happy smile and the flowers in her hair!

Summer is almost here! I pulled this look off The Sartorialist. I was going down the page I immediately noticed how beautiful she looked. I really like the natural, carefree hairstyle, barely there face, her printed dress and use of accessories. The dress is casual but her shoes and bags look very urban. Loves it!

There’s so many printed dresses this season and I’ve sort of caught the maxi-dress bug. You might be seeing a lot of dresses from this blog. I can’t help it, I love dresses and I wish we had only 3 season so that I can have an excuse to wear dresses all year.

As you all know, I love Blair Waldorf’s style. I can’t pull off everything that she wears but I can certainly take bits and pieces here and there for inspiration. Queen B is known for her wicked head gear. I am so inspired by the look that I’ve jumped into the fascinator band wagon this summer. Yessireee, I will be sporting a fascinator this summer at a friend’s wedding. I’ll post it here once I find it. I am thinking Winona Ryder a la Autumn in New York. I want something simple because I don’t have the skull size to get away with loads of feathers and mucho veil

So back to Blair. I love her headband collection and she knows how to wear one properly. I am a bit obsessed with pink and you might have seen this picture many times before. For that I am not sorry, because she looks so girly and cute!

I found a hairband from Forever 21 Canada and a whole bunch of pink dresses. Depending on your threshold for monochromatic pink, this might be a bit too much.  So wear what you’re comfortable with. Pink from head to toe or some pink.

Full side floral head band $ 5.80
