Hey!
I thought I'd share with you some of the accessories I have my eye on this summer. I am all about chunky jewelry and bright vivid colors! The ASOS laptop clutches (I'm sporting one here) come in rich candy colors and are a must-have item for the summer months! What accessories are you coveting this season?

I love hue: Pink
Fall is hands down my favorite season. The rich variegated colors of the leaves. The crisp coolness of the wind. And the smells and sounds that accompany both of those. Ahhhh!!! In my opinion, with the advent of Fall is the introduction of colorful clothing that is unparalleled by any other season. Fabrics seem to exude a certain vibrancy, patent shoes seem to shimmer and sparkle like an iridescent pond, and diaphanous scarves dance in the wind. When I received my catalog from Talbots today, my breath literally caught in my throat. I know I spoke about Talbots before in an earlier post but I cannot stress the following: They have seriously stepped up their game. I am coveting an innumerable number of items from their Fall line but I wanted to showcase a few pieces that I have my eye on...
Talbots double-faced wool pencil skirt / $139
1. I have been searching for a pink wool pencil skirt for a couple of months now and I was pleased to see the one offered by Talbots. Boden's has a similar one as well but Talbots' version seems to be a true pencil shape. In my eyes, this skirt--paired with some black patent heels and a showstopper top--can do no wrong.

Dents classic leather color gloves / $71
Talbots italian leather gloves / $99
2. The first pair of gloves is currently in my "saved items" cart at ASOS. Over the pond, Dents is a well known and respected brand. They offer other leather goods as well. These gloves are just what I need to spice up my winter wardrobe. Incidentally, Talbots also has a similar (silk-lined) offering but they are a bit longer than I would like (see above).
Talbots turnlock suede clutch / $89
3. I was never into clutches until I saw the ones offered by ASOS and then I began to take notice. I also noticed how other bloggers were accessorizing theirs. Normally, I would introduce a clutch into an outfit if it was going to add the right amount of color. Recently, I've been seeing colored clutches paired with other colors in a way that has me completely intrigued. Marigold-colored clutches paired with teal shoes. Red clutches pictured cobalt blue pants. An emerald clutch matched with an silky orange top. This is definitely a trend I am willing to try once I find the perfect colored clothing item I would like to pair this particular clutch with. The one you see above is by Talbots and is simply luxe.
Are there any Fall accessories you've had your eye on? What textures and fabrics have you been drawn to? Please tell me about it!

Not too shabby...
I initially heard about Shabby Apple through a friend and since then I've been in absolute love with their dresses. I recently decided to take the plunge and buy the Baja striped dress which I had been eyeing for a while. Since the XL was out of stock, I purchased the large and couldn't be more happier with the style of the dress. The large is a bit snug on me but the fabric does have some stretch to it. I decided to throw on my Gap skinny belt in wine which I think adds a nice pop of color. I am also wearing my fave Corso Como pumps in a luscious patent red.
Dress: Shabby Apple Baja dress (size large)
Earrings: H&M (they are a few years old)
Shoes: Corso Como "Delicious" pumps in patent red (the most comfy pumps ever!)
Before purchasing anything from the site, I encourage you to search the web for coupon code as they are frequently issued by the company. This dress was on sale for about $44 plus I used a 15% of coupon! Also, there is free shipping on standard domestic orders! For those that are curious, Shabby Apple sizing does go up to an XL. They also have select plus size offerings as well.
My next buy from Shabby Apply will most likely be the Gondola dress shown below. Look how pretty the green is with those blue and white stripes!

Pirates Boot-y
I never thought I was a boot person until recently. For me, boots conjure up images of teetering, precarious bodies doing there best to stay upright while walking. While I know not all boots are made with 5 in+ heels, this image has stayed with me since forever. I'm very flat-footed so I tend to gravitate towards boots with little to no heel. From time to time, I will come across a boot with a heel that causes me to swoon. Case in point, the BR boot you see above...perfection right? What kind of features do you look for in a boot? Are there any boots out now that are on your "must-have" list? Just so you know, I purchased the ASOS flat lace-up booties and they are divine (and vegan)!

Best dressed...
What cruelty is this that I can't wear form-fitting dresses now? Well, I guess I could....but the dresses I'm coveting seem to lose their allure when you throw in a preggy belly into the mix. Not to say that I'm ashamed of my belly...but still...there is a time and place for everything afterall.
I have my eye on this dress from Kiyonna
. Isn't it gorge?

The fit looks amazing as does the rouching. Some fashion "experts" advise plus-sized women to stay away from rouching because they say it accentuates the midriff area. I say go for it! Rouching can add texture and appeal to any plain dress.
So it is no secret that I am absolutely obsessed with ASOS. Their styles are cutting edge and the fit on many of their pieces is spectacular. This dress reminds me somewhat of this dress I purchased from Jibri not too long ago. I'm really liking the dotted mesh pattern and the sweetheart bustline.
This is another dress from ASOS and I chose it for its rich blue hue. It is from the main range. I am not really crazy about tulip-shaped hems but I would make an exception for this particular dress. The surplice top, the blousson sleeves, the puff shoulders...all details I absolutely adore!
This dress reminds me of the famous Kiyonna scalloped boudoir dress
that I have in brown. This dress however, is shorter and has a distinctive v-neck (Kiyonna's dress is surplice). There is something about lace that is so vintage and dainty. I'm automatically feel as though I am being transported to another time and place when I put it on.

How badly am I kicking myself for not purchasing this rouched convertible dress from Monif C? Many people are put off by the cost of her dresses but the rouching detail on this particular dress is too amazing too pass up. I am hoping that the dresses come back in the fall or else I will never forgive myself for not taking the plunge!
