More finds

For this post, I'm going to showcase a slightly random, but hopefully delightful collection of fashion finds.

My first find is from Victoria's Secret. That store just keeps surprising me; I've always thought of it as a purely lingerie-oriented store, but some of their clothes are quite chic. Check out this dress:



(Babydoll sweater dress w/ scarf, on sale, $69)

It's not really a steal, but I'm in love with this unusual, stylish blue. It's very refreshing and cute. If it's not your cup of tea, however, they have cranberry (they say lipstick) red and your usual black and white options.

I've often sort of admired Aldo's shoes, but I've never seen anything unique or interesting enough to justify their prices. And their seriously high heels.

These shoes, however, made me reconsider Aldo in general:

(See them at http://www.aldoshoes.com/eng/storeSection/redirect.cfm?sectionID=b2c/style/productDetails.cfm&itemID=64961409&&var=d&ckey=US&colorid=94
Please forgive me for not being able to post a pic; their stupid flash player is to blame.)

(Fandriana pumps, $20)

They're not the epitome of high style, perhaps (high heels: definitely), but they're rather cute, no? And the price amazing for such nice pumps (I know it says $79 at the top; look by the color descriptions instead). I prefer the cream-colored pattern, because I think the black is an odd contradiction of sexy heel and colors, and sweet girly pattern. The cream is just sweet enough to get away with the peeptoe and the heel and the platform without looking like...well, you know.

That's all for today; check back soon for more sweet fashion dreams!

Sale finds!

For today's long-awaited post, I'm going to scout the web to find the best sale finds around.

First off, Urban Outfitters is having a big online thing: free shipping. And in their sale section, I was lucky to find this dress:


( Landscape Shift Dress, now $40)

I can't decide which color I like better. The cream is more wearable, certainly, but the red has a sexy kick that would be awesome with tights and booties, much like they show- only with actual tights, not knee socks. They remind me too much of fishnets, and that's definitely not the best combo for a short, red dress.

They also have these cute, if slightly unremarkable ballet flats:


(Color Block Ballet Flat, $20)

I really like the unusual mix of fuchsia and teal.. They have these flats in chocolate/ivory as well, but that combination seems a little bit too typical for me.

I know you must be sick of me harping about Modcloth.com. But it would be a crime not to mention this top:

(Poppy Plissage Top, $45)

This ruffled top is very trendy right now- ruffled Victorian shirt and all- but the bright red color adds a bit of pop to its feminine sweetness. It's sort of like combining a tart berry sauce with a very sweet vanilla pudding to prevent it from being overwhelmingly saccharine.

Aw, now I'm really hungry. I'd better go eat. Until next time, sweet fashion dreams, everyone!
