Seeing Red - Valentine's Dresses

There's only one color that comes to mind when I think of Valentine's Day - red.  I mean, you can mess around with pinks, purples, or even black, but there really is no substitute for a red dress when you're out with your own special valentine.  And because I'm super helpful and want nothing but for you to look like a bombshell on your big night, here are some great red dresses at a variety of price points just for you!

Holiday Party Style

I was asked almost a month ago to do a holiday party post, and am only just now getting to it, after some of you have already attended a party or two I'm sure.  Sorry! I'm doing my best. 

But for those of you still in need of some holiday party-wear, I've compiled a few choices for any holiday party - something to wear with jeans for the casual party, something fancy for a cocktail party, and even some work-appropriate stuff for an office party.  When it comes to holiday parties keep in mind it's all about the jewel tones, the sparkle, and the fun!  So grab an embellished cardigan, a glittery statement ring, or a pair of fabulous stain heels.  It's time to bring the cheer with some fab holiday party clothes!

Lions, Tigers, & Bears! Oh My!

Y'all, I am way in love with animal prints right now.  I don't mean the leopard/zebra/snake-type animal prints.  Those I'm not fond of to be honest.  They just seem cheapy.  What I'm talking about is prints that are animals - like birds and horses and such.  I'm totally in love with an animal pattern.  The smaller the print, the better.  The more geometric, the even better. 

Today I share my love of animal prints, or prints of animals rather, with all of you.  Try out one of the options below and bring a fun little critter into your life wardrobe!

Parisian Purchases

 I couldn't go to the capital of fashion and not bring home a few goodies for myself.

First up, a dress from my new favorite store: Promod.  It's like a European Forever 21 - lots of cute things, and all super cheap!! If a certain baby hadn't had her fill of sightseeing for the day and started crying, I'm pretty sure I would've bought out the store.  As it is, I walked away with two things.

Promod,  36.95 €

And then there's this, my delightfully delicious Parisian splurge.  Mr. EWP said, since we were in the fashion capital of the world, I could buy one ridiculous thing I wanted.  What I actually needed were some camel/cognac boots, but $1000 boots just don't do it for me. I prefer my fancy shoes to be pretty and adorned with butterflies.  So I decided I'd go for the other thing I've been wanting - a structured brown bag.  After much much looking, and taking of pics and different shops to compare them (yes, I'm a nerd), we settled on this piece of leather yummy goodness.  And since it's leather, it fits for our 3rd anniversary gift. You're welcome, Mr. EWP, for taking care of your anniversary gift shopping for you.  I'm such a thoughtful wife. :)  And I'm only just a little delighted that it's not even available in the US yet.

Yves Saint Laurent

Here I am modeling my bag, as well as my third Parisian purchase - a top from Promod.  It's not on their website that I could see, so no linky, but I think it was like 15€.  Gotta love a cute cap sleeve and a bow!



Now on to London!
