Fleece's Pieces

It's not that I've blogged about Mike&Chris below, and now I'm blogging about fleece lol. It's like practically covering the same thing lol! But remember those days when fleece seem to be only used for sweats? Now I'm seeing this fabric cover it all! And not to mention the comfort that's involved in wearing fleece. Below are a few fleece pieces I've been eyeing, so ummmm...move over hoodies!!!

Check the Neck

Loveeeee Mike&Chris for so many reasons! Their collars add so much more "ump" (lol) to their pieces. Here lately I've been focusing on the necklines/collars of tops or should I say focusing on the Mike&Chris look lol

Cut It Out

This hot cut-out dress by Black Halo is the perfect piece to show off those new curves you've sculpted as part of your New Year's Resolution. And if you've been slacking....well here's a little inspiration...

CHOOSE SHOES

The shoes I choose cover every style on my personal HOT list! From shades of yellow (lol), T-STRAP, reptile, NUDE, and muted metallics each style is hot in it's own way....and oh so easy on the eyes, don't you agree?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

My favorite F-List contributor is celebrating her birthday this weekend! Please join me in wishing the super-fabulous Keeki a very happy birthday!

Thanks for all your hard work here on the site!!! I couldn't do it without you!!!

Warm Up Suit

The fact that it's yellow makes this little number by Paul & Joe even MORE CUTER! Check out more Spring cuteness at www.my-wardrobe.com

80s Love

As an 80s baby I will always love anything that reminds me of my childhood...slap bracelets, side ponytails, boomboxes...the list goes on. Grafitti also holds that special place in my heart...as long as it's not on the side of my house! But on the side of my shoe...me likes!

Flirty Shirty

I love dresses. They are so easy and versatile, you throw them on and can be out the door immediately. This new shirt dress from Urban Outfitters is tailored enough to wear to work with tights and pumps but casual enough to rock on the weekend with leggings and flat boots. And at $48 it's wallet-friendly which we all need after the holiday season.

Off Topic: NEED THE BREED

Although there's two stylish ladies in the pics below this post isn't fashion related (Forgive me for the off topic Candace lol). My niece asked for a puppy and I think the one Rihanna has been carrying around lately is the cutest I've seen in awhile. But I don't know the breed....if you happen to know please inform. Thanks!

What in the 1987?????

Leave it to the worldwide web (or should I've said leave it on the worldwide web? lol) ! I'm officially convinced you can find anything floating out there! I just had to share my latest stumble upon....I mean we all know I love me some retro but these made me cringe a bit lol. Maybe for Halloween, 1980s Theme Party, or "collector's item" reasons.....but other than that can you see it? But hey to each it's own........

The Look for Less: MJ Edition

I'm sure Marc Jacobs is used to being ripped off by now...they do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. We cannot deny the cuteness of this art-deco inspired Marc Jacobs bag. As a part of the Fall 2007 collection it retailed for $1,875...


And just a few months after it's debut we have a more affordable version avail at Lulu's Fashion Lounge...

My Current Love: Mondrian

As you probably can tell I seem to love all things that were here before my time lol. Mondrian artwork and fashion popped on the scene with burst of colors in the '60s. Years later a younger crowd adored it in the late 80s...early 90s maybe? Will this pattern ever return as a trend? Mmmmmmm maybe not lol, but right now I adore it either way. A look so simple....but yet so complicated is the way i see it. At the moment I'm searching the web for Mondrian inspired artwork and I couldn't help but share the Mondrian fashion I've stumbled upon. Makes a girl want to channel her inner Twiggy lol!

Spring Heeling

Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 footwear....awwww like a dream! I can't see any other designer replicating Marc's footwork, but I'm sure they will attempt. Heels seem to be the focus Spring 2008...not just high heels, but the actual heel will be the focal point. Marc did the runway and below "we" can do the hallway lol!
