I saw this image of Aaron Paul, of Breaking Bad, wife in this amazing dress at the new season's premiere. It's so effortlessly amazing and I had to find out who was the designer and how I could get one.

Photo Source via DListed

The dress is by STONE COLD FOX, designed by two gorgeous california gals named Cydney Morris and Dallas Wand. I read on their "About" page that one of their inspirations is Jane Birkin, so obviously I am in love with the designs.

I scoped out the online shop on their website and here are the items I am totally coveting and think you should be too!

Stone Cold Fox - Onyx Gown $321 via Revolve Clothing

Look at the STUNNING back on this dress! I want this dress so bad.... I love the versatility of the dress. If anyone feels like buying me a gift, please get me this! lol!

Cryptic Skirt Available in Ivory & black/brown $200 via Stone Cold Fox

This skirt is also fabulous! Love the long look with the sexy slits.

Sophia Gown Bloom/Petal Print Silk $385 via Stone Cold Fox

Im not usually much of a flower print kind of girl but absolutely loving this print and again look at the back of the dress! So effortlessly beautiful!

The Wedge -Heel Sneaker

Wednesday, August 7, 2013

How do you feel about the Wedge-Heel Sneaker? Will you wear it or is it too out there for you?

Admittedly at first, I wasn't to sure about the wedge heel sneaker. It looks great on the runway and in street style photos from NYC and London but... What about how it will look on the everyday gal in her everyday life?

Realizing that it is a just a more causal sister to the Wedge bootie the flood gates opened in my mind on the many ways you could wear them.

Here are some styles and variety of prices of the Wedge Heel Sneaker that I like....

Where to get the Shoes:

1. H&M - Wedge-heel sneaker $49.95 via H&M (US)

2. ASh Bowie - Stone Wedge Sneakers $286.79 via Asos US

3. Chloe - Suede, Leather and Canvas Wedge Sneaker $695 via Net-a-porter

4. Isabel Marant- The Bekett printed canvas and suede concealed wedge sneakers $640 via Net-a-porter (Exclusive to Net-a-porter)

5. Venice wedge Sneaker in Tan $160 via Nastygal

6. Giuseppe Zanotti - Embossed Leather Wedge Sneaker $975 via Bergdorf Goodman

H&M Online Shopping!

Monday, August 5, 2013

So excited H&M is finally providing online shopping! I love H&M but not enough to drive out to League City or to Cypress. I think the gas would cost the same amount as one of their very inexpensive $19.95 blouses. Unless you live near by those malls in which this isn't as exciting news.

I shopped the new H&M (US) website and here are my edited finds.

Sleeveless Chiffon Blouse $24.95

Embroidered Blouse $34.95

Loose Fit Pants $24.95 available in black, dark blue and shown in burgundy

Suit Pants $34.95 available in grey and black

Maxi Dress $14.95

So much more online... including Men's, kids and home decor.

Happy Shopping!

The Dress- Marchesa Embroidered Layered Laces Gown via Shopbop. I love the back of this trumpet silhouette dress.

The Shoes- Oscar de la Renta Lace Mesh Ankle Boots via Neiman Marcus. Oh so sexy and sophisticated.

The Clutch- KOTUR Margo Floral Lace clutch via Bloomingdale's. The subtle black lace clutch will merge the black shoes and black earrings in between this stark white dress. Of course you will be able to wear this clutch again and again.

The Earrings- Oscar de la Renta Carved drop earrings via Neiman Marcus . These clip on earrings will compliment the low chignon up-do and neutral make-up.

The Makeup- Smokey dark neutral dramatic eyes and nude lips. Its really all about the eyes here.

Wedding Dress: Something Blue

Thursday, August 1, 2013

Don't feel limited to white or ivory shoes. Its your day, the sky is the limit!

Have fun with your shoes and do it up Carrie Bradshaw style by wearing your something blue on your feet. OR add a blue or even turquoise clutch for the reception.
