Half Pretties




Get rid of those ordinary foot pads, and say hello to Half Pretties. Neda Dion created a fashionable solution to ease the pressure on the balls of your feet, and keep your feet from sliding forward in heels. I mean I was sold the second I saw the lace trim, but that's besides the point. Half Pretties not only provide comfort, they also add a unique and elegant touch to any ensemble! Dion said, "Half-pretty is how I see the world. A world in constant motion, constant change." She created Half Pretties because she believes in creating a world where be can all be comfortable and pretty.

Aya Nakagawa, designer of Colenimo, continuously comes up with innovative and fresh new concepts for her collections. Nakagawa's Autumn/Winter 2012-13 is called Idyll. The collection is inspired by tradition country attire with a fanciful twist. Idyll is a cohesive integration of sturdy utilitarian outerwear, luxurious knitwear, and elegant evening pieces.

Chloe + Isabel

Modern Deco Stretch Bracelet.....Modern Deco Floral Drop Earrings.....Lotus Pearl Y Necklace
'

Inside all of us lies a fabulous diva. My definition of a diva is someone who looks in the mirror and sees the world at their finger tips. When you embrace that diva you are on the inside, you automatically radiate confidence and courage on the outside. The thing is, divas are like snow flakes, we are all different but that's where Chloe + Isabel comes in. The concept behind this wonderful jewelry line is everyone knows a Chloe and everyone knows an Isabel. They are both smart and confident but they express themselves differently. However, the thing they have in common is their love of jewelry! Here is the best part... I recently became one of their merchandisers! I will be hosting trunk shows, pop up shops, and managing my own online boutique. There is more! Any fashionista that hosts a trunk show with me gets %50 off all jewelry. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in hosting or attending a trunk show! If you do not have the time or live anywhere near Philadelphia, I encourage you to take advantage of my online shop!   That's all for now. So until next time, stay chic stay stay lovely, and stay true to you!

Swimwear? Wait... what about my hair?




Typically, if I have a little extra money, swimwear would be the absolute last thing i'd spend it on. Well aside from Crocs, Adidas Velcro sandals, or anything of that nature... but I digress. So, I stumbled upon(both noun and verb tense of the word) these photos, featuring a beautiful collection of vintage inspired swimwear. The effortless elegance emanating from the photos drew me in, which then proceeded to push me in the pool.


I took my dress to the clothing hospital or as most call it, the dry cleaners. Even they couldn't repair the chlorine damage! But as I stood there with my discolored dress it all became clear. This is the year I am finally going to get a bathing suit like one of these. Thus I won't have to compromise my personal style. Now, lets see who pushes who in the pool. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, i'll have something cute and water proof to wear.

Lu Flux Spring/Summer 2012

Garland blouse, Ascot skirt
Lu Flux's Spring Summer 2012, A-Lu-Ha, brings Hawaiian fantasy to life with a mixture of bright pastels, vintage materials and flawless patchwork. I guess home-ec class finally came in handy. Lu Flux has a noteworthy unconventional couture esthetic. I have been a fan of this eccentric British label for a while now, and this collection is the most wearable of them all...

Bona Drag

Paneled Black Lace Dress 

Diagonal Silk Skirt
The term Bona Drag means "nice outfit" in a secret language used by the gay culture in London during the 1960's. This shop sells unique jewelry, and select pieces from independent designers. The Bona Drag Boutique has everything from a classic little black dress to a jewel encrusted beetle ring.  

ThreadSence

Devotion Scalloped Lace Shorts in Ivory

Melrose Bell Bottom Pants
I love when online shops have seasonal lookbooks and, ThreadSense is one of them. They put together cohesive ensembles by pulling various garments, that are for sale on their site, and more or less create their own collection. Therefore, buyers are able to "shop by look" at a moderate price. 


Pixie Market

Leopard Velvet Pants 
Houndstooth Button Cape
Pixie Market has an international demographic and free U.S. shipping on all purchases over $150. If your an edgy fashionista whose not afraid to make a statement then, this shop is for you!   

Nasty Gal Vintage

Leggy Sequin Dress
Morrison Moto Pants
Dance to the beat of your own drum? Check out Nasty Gal Boutique. This shop features clothing, shoes, accessories, with a fashion forward take on the "rocker chic" aesthetic.   

ModCloth

Expecting Guests Dress
Presidio Poise Dress

My personal favorite online shopping destination is ModCloth. When I am stuck inside, on a rainy day I always end up spending an embarrassing amount of time updated my wishlist. I call it cyber window shopping. Modcloth's clothing, shoes, accessories, and decor, keep the past alive by holding on to a vintage aesthetic but with a modern twist.

Pepper and Pistol A/W 2012


Brigandine Dress # 277
Pepper and Pistol is a line that I have praised  for a few years now; I applaud founders Silvia Hillmann and Katrin Wiens. They always go left when I think they are going to go right. Pepper and Pistol is such a dynamic and innovative line that every season it is nearly impossible not to be intrigued. There is nothing I respect more, in the fashion world, than a distinctive point of view. Each and every collection they produce tells a story. That being said, click on their website it is literally and figuratively a comprehensive Pepper and Pistol anthology.  Furthermore, their A/W 2012 collection is called The Capture. It is a season of dark knights & magic unicorns captured in elements of romantic velvet and soft silks armored with shiny fierce chain mail. Click to enlarge image.
