A Year in Review

I thought it fit today to blog about some of my current favorites for 2009 as well as some favorites that haunted me through 2008 and still today. I am anxiously anticipating the arrival of my body con double-U neck minidress from American Apparel, in black with long sleeves. The perfect classic; alone or layered. Cat has convinced me to hit the mall today for some studded rings (as has MK Olsen) and Melissa talked me into making a stop at the bookstore for the perfect Fashion book. I'm craving multichain necklaces as well. I cannot wait to incorporate all of these trends and new ideas into my blog this year. I do have some secrets up my sleeve, all neatly written out in shopping list format, of course. I hope to score some of them today. If not, there's always tomorrow.

UPDATE: I ended up getting:

• a slew of rings
• a new scarf
• a bracelet
• and some very Carrie Bradshaw shoes!! xx
• I had to order the book online, along with another ring and necklace. :]
  

Cosmo Girl. Passion for fashion, and a magic flask

With body con dresses all the rage in the blogosphere kingdom, it occurred to me that I could double my extra long and clingy tank top as a body con dress. I kept it classy by pairing it with a military style jacket on top. Then I thought, why not add in my love for fringe (and Balmain) with the Bakers knock off ankle booties?

I am still feeling full from the Thanksgiving Holiday festivities over the last weekend. I like to call it a "non-stop Food fest" of sorts. The "over" eating started last Thursday morning and lasted until last night, Sunday. Let's just say I don't want to see a Turkey anytime soon. I relaxed my full tummy filled with hot cocoa and apple fritter strudel last night; by watching the MTV Special; Britney: For the Record. Anyone else excited for her new record? I remember being jealous of her when she was dating Justin of N'Sync, then slowly but surely I came around to her. One of my favorite performances was the re-mixed version of "Baby One More Time" for her Britney Spears Dream Within a Dream Tour in Las Vegas dvd.



Tank/Body con Dress: forever 21. Jacket: eBay. Boots: Bakers.

Body con Stars!

Hey guys. Here's a little body con dress I found while shopping in my closet yet again. It's from 5.7.9. The wedges are Old Navy, and my handbag is Vintage. All jewelry is from The Icing, vintage or Forever 21. Headband from Target. Still feeling a little under the weather. :/ Hoping this outfit post cheers up a rather blue Monday...

Infinite X's and O's!

Solestruck in my knee socks!

Grey matters. The progression of my moving has brought forth a few items I had mistakenly forgotten about within the dark depths of my closet. I came across this part mini, part body con sweater dress as I was readying myself for the move. I instantly knew I had to pair it with the gorgeous platforms that Danielle from Solestruck so lovingly sent my way. And just in time for my Birthday last week, too. Thank you!! I love them. Their supple leather and intricate design are integral and thus there is something special to be said as I cannot stop my fawning over them. Particularly comfortable, given their awesome height, they complemented the dress perfectly. My shrunken cardigan is actually one of my most prized possessions, belonging to my Mom (when she was a baby!) The knee socks? Juicy Couture.
