Black and White

 dress: M.S.S.P., vest: Guess (similar here and here), belt: Target (similar in black here), white heels: Zara

 This is what I wore yesterday. I wear dresses quite often. Almost everyday. They are just so easy and comfortable in the 95 degree and humid weather we have here in PCB. Lately though, I've been trying to use accessories more. They really do make the outfit. This really cute silver bow belt I've had forever but I don't think I've ever worn. This was the perfect dress for it as it came with a detachable sash. Oh, and I am in love with these shoes. Now I just need to find the silver ones.



Olivia Palermo

So today I read that my style icon and favorite ex-reality TV star is coming out with a fashion blog this Fall. i know that is one blog I will be an avid follower. This is one hot chic that in my eyes can do no wrong. She expertly mixes high and low, so some of what she wears is available to us regular folk. If it's not sold out which it tends to do in a New York minute. Here are some of my favorite OP looks, sorry it's so long, it's hard to just pick a few.

 Green shorts? Plaid shirt? Why not?

 How beautiful does she look in this white Alexander McQueen dress?

I love a fitted white dress, and this one has some amazing detail.

 She can rock any hair style/color! Long, short, blond, brown, bring it on!

 She's also a pro at mixing prints.



And The Winner Is...

I'm not the most computer savvy person. (not great for a blogger huh?) Anyway, I used Random.org's True Random Number Generator with the number 1 - 8 and it gave me number 3. I just couldn't figure out how to put the widget on my blog with the winning number filled in. So Congrats Moonstruck-Expose!! The Jewelmint earrings are yours! I hope you love them. I will try to contact you but if you read this first just email me at: tohellinahandbag@yahoo.com with your mailing address and I will get them out ASAP.

Stupid Computer

 
ARGH! I'm so mad. This thing popped up on my computer today saying I may have a virus so I let it do a scan and after that it wouldn't let me log on to the internet without buying their spyware shit. No, I didn't buy it. My husband said that was the virus. They were just trying to get me to give them my credit info. So we had to delete my whole account, but before we did I transferred all my pics to his but for some reason I can't open them. And of course I deleted all the pics from my camera when I put them on the computer, all but this one. Hopefully tomorrow I can retrieve the rest.
      Anyway, I'll pick a winner tomorrow morning with random.org for the Jewelmint earrings. So anyone who's up late tonight or in another country still has just under 12 hours to enter. It is open Worldwide. I noticed I got some new followers that didn't enter the contest, so you know. Just enter in the appropriate post!

dress: Alexander Wang (very similar here)

heels: Zara (similar here)

Old Hollywood

 kimono: Zara (very cool one here and here), gray tank: Old Navy,

white jeans: Xhilaration (similar here for $30)

cobalt heels: Zara (similar here and here)

So here's my new kimono. On sale at Zara for $60. I'm not too sure about how I styled it. Because I'm petite, I actually feel it would look better with a mini dress underneath. All the different elements to the outfit overwhelm I think. Love these shoes though. They say cobalt is back for Fall, so I guess I'm set in the shoe department. I would really like to find some skinny trousers in this color.

Just 1 more day for the Giveaway!

That night we went bowling, see how cute the shoes go with my outfit! I am always over dressed. The last pics are what I wore to a BBQ and my BIL's girlfriend's house. Zara purchases to come.

Corset Me Not

 dress: Sugar Lips  (or White solid here), Blazer: At home,can't remember brand(similar here and here), necklace: AE (similar here), black heels: Zara (similar style here)

This is actually an outfit I wore before I came to Orlando. I bought this dress a few months ago and this being the second time wearing it I decided to post it on the blog. It's by Sugar Lips and I got it at Dillard's. It's fun because the top is a cream corset and the bottom is a silky tribal print. Online they have it in navy blue and it's now on sale for $53.40, originally $89.
     I was able to hit up the Zara here in Orlando, unfortunately it was really picked through. I was able to get the long kimono and a white blouse like I wanted, so you should be seeing an outfit post with those soon.
     Also don't forget to enter the giveaway for the Jewelmint earrings. Still five days left!

On The Road Again

 crochet top: Rebecca Taylor, skirt: Lush- Lulu*s, heels: Sole Society

So my husband decided at last minute we would head down to Orlando to see his brothers. We are leaving as soon as he gets off work tonight and staying until Monday morning. I'm excited because this means (hopefully) I can hit up the Zara there. According to the website their sale should still be going on. Hopefully some of the good stuff is still left. I have a gold sequined Zara skirt coming that I purchased on Ebay and I really need a nice silky white button up blouse to go with it. I REALLY want that long kimono you've probably seen a couple bloggers wear but I'll be surprised if they still have it. Any readers from Orlando? If so let me know if the Zara there still has a selection. My Fashiolista on the right has some of my "loves" from the Zara website. Sorry, you guys are probably bored to tears about my Zara obsession, but we want what we can't (easily) have, right?

p.s. I will be taking my camera and laptop with me so I can still blog. Will let you know later today or tomorrow about the give away. Let's just say I might have to get them for myself.
