maxis for new year's eve

so, as i said yesterday, i'm kind of in love with the idea of wearing a long flowy maxi dress on new year's eve. see my picks below for a lengthy lovely to wear to any type of nye bash this year.

party like it's 1979

these metallic, pleated dresses just scream new year's. and disco. DISCO NEW YEAR'S!

an angelic affair

the sheer, flowing sleeves on these dresses make them sweet, while the plunging necklines make them racy. perfect party wear balance!

boho fete

creamy dreamy. flowy snowy. arty party.

trippy times square

stand out with the fireworks in unexpected colors on nye. i especially love that coral. it's bold, but you can rock it!

an intimate gathering

i just love the layers of texture that both of these otherwise sheer dresses have. chunky metallic knit! burnt out gold velvet!!! i think a costume change at midnight is in order.

ebay {holiday} dresses: ending TODAY!

as i was searching ebay today looking for ONE dress to show you, i found myself clicking on link after link of absolutely beautiful dresses. below, i present you with the best, all ending today.

black velvet

i love velvet for this time of year. this dress is fancy, but the crochet detail makes it a bit more casual and carefree. love the combination!

white heat

this dress is drop dead gorgeous. it would be amazing for new year's eve paired with a vintage fur bolero! {oh, and it's backless too!}

red and gold

i know, i know...this is the same model from above. two dresses from the same seller in one post is pretty lame, but i couldn't NOT show you this dress. look at those sleeve buttons. and the gold brocade! i die.

green goddess

this dress would look amazing on anyone. the lines are simple, the cut is flattering, the length is trendy, and the color is festive. i'm calling this the perfect holiday dress!

if you're interested in any of these dresses, click on the photo to get to the ebay auction.

happy bidding!

i'm back.

at the strong urging of a couple of really good friends, i've decided to give blogging another go. a lot has changed in my life recently and i'm trying to focus on being more, well, focused. for me, this means actually setting life goals, finding the happy medium between being carefree and responsible, and figuring out who i really am.

expect a lot more from me. very soon.

eBay dress of the day: Low and High

so today, i couldn't choose just one dress. i came across two that i love and they are very similar (light weight, flowy, nearly nothing) however, one has no bids yet and one has a BILLION. i've already told you that i have no desire to wear clothes in this heat, but i would consider wearing either of these.

current obsession: silk

silk is the only thing i can think about wearing right now, in the early-july heat of new york city. it is so refreshing to have the cool, slinky texture next to my skin that i never want to take it off. i've scavenged ebay to find a few lovely numbers to make your lazy lounging more luxurious.

purple haze

such a great color and bohemian flare that would make any girl happy (especially a fair skinned red head {cough}).

sassy stripes

just love that both of these dresses have two patterns going on. the textured stripe with a larger, overall print. so intriguing.

lengthy wonders

long, full, floral, silky...what's there not to love? (especially the golden dress!)

exotic elegance

feel like you've been rushed away to some far-off place to do your lounging in the sun.

blushing beauties

this is it. barely there pink, sparkles, flouncy fit. i'm sold.

happy bidding.

holiday season is upon us.

band of outsiders 2008 holiday collection puts an emphasis on gentlemanly attire crafted from very luxurious fabrics. i love the line and would adore any man wearing a mustard gold velvet waistcoat and trousers, but put the clothes on photographer paul jasmin and it seems especially endearing.

all images from valet.com ...which, by the way, is an awesome lifestyle magazine for the guys.

found:

pierre cardin dresses made for mia farrow on EBAY! granted they are extremely expensive but oh, so dreamy.

whimsical wednesdsay

check out this cuff bracelet i found on radici.co.uk. i love the kitchy stitching on the structured perspex cuff, but the thing that really makes me fall head over heels for this is the quote from "the little prince".

"it is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

precious.

the cutest random website tuesday of all

i just found an adorable website via ismoyo. it is called Lefor-Openo, named after the illustration duo who created amazing post cards, advertisements and posters in the sixties. oh, and they're french (oh, lala!).

here are some of my favorites.
