I'm BLUE badabadeedabadie...

Get the look: Top, skinnies (similar), scarf, shoes, ring (similar), watch

Rain, rain go away! I managed to snap a few pictures yesterday in a brief reprieve in the nonstop rain we've been having the last few days. It's so depressing! I'm ready for some warmth and sunshine like nobody's business!

These cobalt skinnies from the Gap are my new favorite pants. They're super comfortable, a great length, and surprisingly versatile for such a bright color. I love how they look paired with my Kiyonna top and this great scarf. Who would have thought all these colors would work so well together? I'm seriously contemplating going back for a pair in white...

Bare

Oh la la, a day at the theater! It may have only been the black box theater at Rutgers, but I was very excited to go see "Bare: A Pop Opera" last Saturday with my friend Ashley. It may not have been Broadway, but anytime I go see a performance of any type I like to look nice! Seems a little silly doesn't it, being that you're sitting in the dark, but it must be the theater geek in me that wants to "respect the art." And hey, I had plans to get drinks after, so I needed to do double duty! Thankfully, Kiyonna had sent me this great top just a few days prior and it was just what I was looking for.

This is the Trina top in green, and I must say, it's another hit in my book. It's made of a thick, luscious stretch jersey, and is cut perfectly to accommodate a larger chest, even with the V-neckline. No pins needed, and I'm able to wear my everyday, lock-and-load 'em bra with nothing peeking out. The three-quarter sleeves are fitted and hit at the perfect spot just below my elbows - I hate loose sleeves on shirts and will push them up most of the time anyway, so this cut is right up my alley.  I also love how the shirt skims my body around the midsection; it doesn't cling one bit and is so, so flattering to my figure.

The Trina is simple and elegant, but so well constructed that it doesn't need any bells and whistles to look great. A pair of skinnies, a pretty necklace, and a pair of wedges and off I went!

Oh you fancy!

When planning for a special occasion, what lady can say that the planning of her outfit is not just as important as the venue, or guest list, or even perhaps even the menu?

The occasion at hand just a few weeks ago was my boyfriend's 24th birthday. I knew I wanted to take him somewhere nice - as culinary connoisseurs, we both appreciate a well cooked meal as much or more than any fancy decor. With the reservations booked, gifts wrapped and ready, the only thing left to sort out was the ever-present question: "What am I going to wear??"

Kiyonna to the rescue! As the newest member of their Blogger Brigade, they sent me the most perfect dress for the occasion - with perfect timing too!

This is the Scalloped Boudoir Lace Dress and I am just absolutely head over heels for it. I love the nude lining and sheer sleeves - so classy with simple jewelry and a red lip. On this particular day I didn't have the bra I usually wear with deeper V's, but a simple pin at the bust saved the day - But I'd totally wear it with the proper plunge for another nighttime event, perhaps with bare legs and nude heels next time :) I'm wearing the 0x and it fits like a dream, fitted but still skimming over any problem areas. I can't wait to wear it again to my next fancy event!
