Back-to-school Shopping!
Okay, so I'm not a hormonal teen or an anxious college freshman anymore...I don't have to ritually prepare for school in a way that would require me to make endless lists and stay hours on end in a fit room trying to decide what to buy, where to wear it and how good it will make me look.
I am no longer a teen and therefore back-to-school shopping wouldn't normally apply to me, right?

Halston: A Legacy in full circle.
Halston
...or Roy Halston Frowick, rather.
A boy from Des Moines, Iowa whose fashion became as regular of a fixture in the 70s scene as Andy Warhol and Club 54. He made controversy by being the first to license clothing to a major department store and designing the now famous pillbox hat for Jackie O during the 1961 Presidential Inauguration. A name that became synonymous this summer with the much anticipated chick flick 'Sex and the City 2'. How do you ignore a fashion re-built from a tarnished name of a designer who ended in not-so great circumstances, even ending a eerie similar fate to Herve Leger--losing the rights to his own name and the fashion house he built. Decades after his death, the name rises like a phoenix from the ashes of ruin into the spotlight once again, as Sarah Jessica Parker and her posse of New Yorkers give the designer house a breath of fresh air.
I love the new Halston Heritage collection. It caught my eye in the first scene of SATC 2, SJP as Carrie Bradshaw stepping out into the New York city streets in her white HH white 3/4 sleeve v-neck tunic, looking as radiant as ever....I love white, and I loved the dress even more. Upon hearing that the new collection is now available at the Bay (HBC or Hudson's Bay Co.) I was mad with excitement.
Recently, The Bay has put the spring collection on sale for upto 50% off. If you're a fan like I am by the classy fashion that gives the 70s disco era and updated chic look, then this is the fashion house for you. I love that the collection gives off a chic casual style and beautiful simplistic pieces that can go from day to night instantly.
Here are a few of my faves:
The tye dye silk halter jumpsuit, so 70s chic--kind of a chic boho meets the upper west side. I love how you can sport this during the daytime with maybe those beautiful Stuart Weitzman Wedge Sandals that Jennifer Aniston loves so much! Also still chic and date-ready for the evening! One less thought if the jumpuit comes as a top and bottom in one, no need to match separates! lol.
One-shoulder Cocktail Dress -- a layer of ruffles for an ultra feminine look (also in for the season!) transforms this one shoulder Little Black Dress from anything but simple! It's a beautiful cocktail dress that gives you the glam without the loudness..
Of course the piece de resistance, the ultimate love of mine from this collection? the coveted white tunic that SJP wore in the beginning scene of the movie. Like I said before, I LOVE white like you have no idea, and I just adore this simple white tunic that, to me, is just so spring and airy.n It just screams fresh and spring!
Tees & Tanks...luv luv luv. The basics are oh-so-soft! I am powerless to resist buying one of the racerbacks and v-necks on sale....
If you have not checked out the collection at the bay, I urge you to take a look see. The collection is worth a second and third look....
Tidbit Celebrity Info-- SJP has been named Creative Director for the prestigous Fashion house....Maybe she'll bring abit of her NYC 'Carrie Bradshaw-ish' style into the mix to bring the brand back where it belongs, in high fashion.

shoe must-have! flats
beats:: some annoying miley cyrus song playing on the radio *ugh*
outfit of the day:: Bebe black and white dress, aldo black and white shoes (i'm monocromatic today lol.)
fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: my Chanel sunglasses! =) (and maybe my umbrella while walking outside back to the office haha)
Lovin' the sunshine...NOT lovin the wind, rain and storms that keep coming around my springtime lovingness.
I just found this on the Aldo website just now (while checking out their sales).
It's such a cute alternative to the simple flats...flats with ankle straps have been around a few seasons, but this one caught my eye. It's cute, how it kinda looks like an ankle length flat boot but actually its a flat with what kind of resembles ankle supports.
I always get my flats pulled out of my feet at one time or another when walking around (the curse of a klutz! lol) but these looked functional enough and cute at the same time. It kills two birds with one stone! =)
Choen $55.00 on sale for $39.98!! crazy eh!?
It's available in black and beige.
Isn't it cute!? I think it's on my list of 'To-Buy' items for spring and summer!
Pure instant attraction! <3

What's your spring shoe must-have???

Sunday Blues cured with a find...what a find!~*
beats:: hey daddy - usher
outfit of the day:: cream sweater, black racerback tanktop & black leggings & flats (casual day!)
fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: grey Aldo handbag =)
Nothing beats a case of the sunday blues better than a great bargain find!
Today on a rainny sunday, I decided to venture off to the mall....It was one of those lazy sundays that just didn't feel like anything exciting was going to go on. I thought that a day at the mall might help to pass the time and boy, was I right!
I went into Mariposa sort of as a whim. I barely buy anything from there, and usually I feel more than hesitant to trust some of the stuff they carry. One thing that did catch my eye that seemed like the quality wan't too bad, and neither was the price, was this black short-sleeved sheath dress. Normally for these kinds of dresses, i would opt to invest in a more properly cut, pricier dress because it's usually worth the investment. This time however, I ended up with such a bargain, I may come back and buy the same dress in another colour! (I'm sorry stacy and clinton! lol)
The dress is from Mariposa $5 on sale. Great buy eh?? It's regularly $20.50 and that in itself isn't a bad price but to pay as much as I did for a work dress? greeeaaat!!! =) (the red belt was from my closet lol)
So now i have a new dress that I can add to my collection of work clothes, and if I ever ruin this dress at some point, I won't have to feel bad about it since I only spent $5!
That only goes to show that I don't always buy pricey clothes in order to look good. The important part of what piece of clothing you buy is that in the end, you feel good in it and make sure that you wear the clothes, and they don't wear you..
I am a happy camper!~*
