Finally: Lulu's!

Oh, friends, I apologize for being so lazy. I try to keep up at least a post a day for Fashion Poirot, and S.F.D. often falls by the wayside.

Nevertheless, the much-awaited Lulus.com post is here!

First, this darling "South Side" jacket.


($70)

Military-style jackets have been very popular recently, and this one is just the right mix of trendiness and practicality, though it might have to wait until temperatures go up just a little. It's reasonably priced for a jacket, and I love the side button detailing and leather accents. A wearable, all-purpose jacket.

Next: a trendy cap sleeve top.

($40)

I sort of wish this was just a little longer, because it would be an amazing minidress. As it is, the color-block print is very stylish, and the price really can't be beat.

That's all for now, but come back soon for more sweet fashion dreams (and finds)!

Holiday dreams...from arden b.

I'm going with the general flow of all fashion blogs this time of year and doing a holiday party post.

Let's start with a lovely dress from Arden B, at ardenb.com, shall we? I just recently discovered that site and I love everything about their clothes.


($148, ardenb.com)

All right, I lie, their prices could be a little cheaper. But for designer stuff- designer dresses, at that- this isn't ridiculously expensive. I like that this dress is modest enough that the average gal can actually wear it without looking half-dressed. Yeah, Rihanna or whoever looks hot in their micro-mini sequined tunics, but who can wear that? Especially if you're over the age of 15! The slim pencil skirt does keep it fresh, and the cute neckline stops the print from making the dress too stuffy. If this were any longer or had sleeves, it would cross the borderline between "modest" and "old-fashioned".

But skimpy dresses make me feel cold, just looking at them. How about a nice sweater?

($41, ardenb.com)

I know the symbolism of the bow is kind of corny, but it's a cute sweater. It's also available in silver or black, but red is the brightest and happiest, in my opinion. The cut-out makes it very sexy, the kind of sweater you'd expect to find at Victoria's Secret, while the off-the-shoulder neckline is a stylish touch. Most of all, I like the price, and the flattering empire waist.

I think that very sweater would go wonderfully with these trousers.

($98, ardenb.com)

The wide-leg and skinny self-belt make them stylish yet wearable. They're a little bit pricey, but so what? You can be the biggest fashionista at the office, or the star of your holiday party! Plus, they're classic and will never go out of style. Who can put a price on that?

Anyway, that's all for now...until next time, sweet fashion dreams and happy holidays!
