100% Obsessed.

It's that time of year again!  So, naturally, I'm planning what I'll be wearing for the holidays.  After hours of brainstorming and research I landed on a red silk swing dress.  Of course I don't know that one exists, I just know that it would make the most adorable outfit if paired with opaque black tights and moto boots.  To start my quest I went to ShopStyle.com, which is, for all intents and purposes, the Google of shopping.  I mean, you can literally put it anything you want and then sort using relevant filters.  It's basically my favorite site ever.

So, anyway, here I am searching for my swing dress when the most unexpected  of results pops up.  

This dress. 

I mean, it's not at all what I was looking for, but do I care?  No.  No no no no NO.  It is a.ma.zing.  I feel like it's Little House on the Prairie in the Orient.  Sooooo fantastic. 

Jil Sander Navy, you complete me.

The only hold up is that it's $2,220.                                                                               ugh.

Lolla Dress FTW!

Last weekend I had a complete blast at Lollapalooza in Grant Park in Chicago, IL.  Three days of fun in the sun (oh...minus a storm that required an evacuation) with great music and friends.  The only drawback, is that  Lolla destroys clothing. I've lost two pairs of shoes and a few shirts and a pair of shorts to the festival over three years, so this time, I prepared.  I went out of my way to buy clothing that I was alright with destroying.  My journey led me to Macy's, where I found this SUPER cute dress.  It's the Pansy Tank Dress from Cynthia Rowley's Print Edition.

First and foremost, it's black.  All the better to hide the grass stains and dirt.  Plus, it's a super breathable jersey knit.  Not enough?  There's a bit of a train in the back--perfect for lounging in the grass.  BUT, the real kicker?  The pansy print on the front makes me look super skinny.  BINGO.

The best news?  IT SURVIVED!  I'm ecstatic that it didn't have to go down as a one hit wonder. 

Sadly, I can't seem to find it on Macy's website, but it is still available for purchase on Cynthia Rowley's site.  Better yet, unlike most of my obsessions, this one is super affordable at only $88!  Even if it isn't your speed, you should definitely check out the Print Edition Collection.  I'm certainly a fan!

Oh, and just in case you were wondering about the rest of my outfit,  details are below....

-Bow trimmed fedora from Forever 21...$6

-LeSportsac bag I bought for my first Lolla

-All Saints sandals from two seasons ago

-Kate Spade Rory Sunnies (featured in this post)...now only $76

Riddle Me This...

Is this dress too much for an outdoor wedding?  I don't want to be 'that girl.'  You know the one.  The girl that is silently (and in some cases not-so-silently) screaming for attention on someone else's big day?  Yea, that one.  I don't want to be her.  My boyfriend says that this is fine...but I'm still a bit hesitant about this adorable Kate Spade frock.

Thoughts?

To give you a better idea of how it'll be styled, here are two options with the dress above, and one with the Solar Miriam dress by Kate Spade.  Please excuse the lack of make-up.  I just wasn't in the mood today!

By the way, the wedges are DVF Senegals.  They're currently on super sale at ShopBop.

I Never Knew What Ikat Was Until Now...

but I already adore it!

Above is a super fun dress from Madewell that doesn't break bank!  With such a versatile shape, I can't decide where to wear it first.........
