I love a good pocket!

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend!

I've already talked about my love for zippers, but one of my other favorite clothing detail is pockets on dresses. Lucky me, I found out there's pockets on the grommet dress that I bought from Faith21!







I love all the details on this dress. The grommet trim on the hem and sleeve give a little edge to an otherwise girly design, and the pockets as well as the ribbon tie-back give it interest as well as functionality. I picked this up in the 2x, and it pulls and tiiiny bit on the pleating on the bustline, but I don't expect any less as I am *ahem* well endowed in the chesticular area. I don't think anyone else who's a 16/18 would have problems with the fit.

I snapped these pics really quick on my way out to celebrate my little sister taking her law school entrance exam. I paired the F21 dress (No longer available online) with a pair of black Hue tights, which you can find up to size 4, which fits 5'2-6'0 and 205-250lbs, as well as my grey slouch boots from target, black bangle, and black pendant :)

Thanks for reading!

New hair!

Got my hair cut! Just a quick blackberry shot I snapped in the bathroom...what do you guys think?

Comments!

I just realized I didn't have the comment notification set, and didn't see all the wonderful comments you ladies are leaving! I truly appreciate and love reading every single one, so thanks :)

I've been a bad, bad girl.

Just got paid...Thursday morning...

The good people over at ASOS must be stalking me, because how else would they know to send such an inticing, delicious, impossible to ignore email to me on the very morning I get paid?

 And when such a tempting offer stares a girl in the face...what is said girl to do???

Need I say more? My order comes "On or before October 19th" :) Have you guys ordered anything from ASOS?

To the Big Apple

Guess where I'm going tonight! I'm off to Manhattan to attend an information session at The Fashion Institute of Technology! I've been toying around with the idea of doing a nights & weekends Associates in Fashion Design!

I'm so excited to find out more about the program, and I'm hope hope hoping that I'd be able to take these classes around my current full-time work schedule. Fingers crossed!

Of COURSE I need to look cute walking into a fashion school, so I'm wearing my new F21 dress I showed you guys yesterday. I'll post some pics later tonight or tomorrow of my full outfit :)

Denim and Zippers

My favorite trend of the last season has to be zippers. I love that, if done with taste, they can work on any type of garment. This cute little demin dress by Calvin Klein is no exception.

       

I love that such a simple detail can take something from basic to special. The glimmer of the zip is like jewelry and gives just enough visual interest...but not too much that I wouldn't pair it with one of my favorite silver necklaces!

Today was the first really chilly day of fall, but I couldn't complain as it meant boots, which I've been wearing despite warm weather the past two weeks, were actually weather-appropriate.

Ok, you caught me - zips on my leggings too! Doesn't it match perfectly?
