LBD

Thursday, September 2, 2010

Ok, going to try this again and hopefully this post won't end up in the middle of a previous one! Going to a wedding on Saturday and wearing the "Little Black Dress". I love this dress! Sorry, no pic today it is being altered :( but it is deeply reminiscent of the Givenchy made famous by Audrey Hepburn in the fashionably classic movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. Now, because I deeply fearful of dressing older than my years, the question of the blog, my dear friends is do I stick with the quintaessential red creme lips, highlighted eyes, ethereal skin or do I opt to modernize a classic with smoky brown eyes, softly sculpted peach cheeks and a nude lip? Decisions...decisions???

Old School Elegance

While out of town recently, I scored this little gem for around $10! There is no denying the chicness of a brooch on a blazer, but I love the idea of such a classic, timeless piece worn in an unconventional way. This is a brooch but I think it could pull double duty as a pendant hanging for a long gold chain, layered with other necklaces of varying lengths and widths. The perfect counterpoint to a plain Hanes tee and boyfriend jeans.
