Retro Style: New Dress I'm Loving!

I just spotted this little dress on Lulus.com. I love it's shape, but I'm wishing it came in another color. Here it is, and I'm keeping my eyes open for this dress in different colors.



The dress looks '50s retro from the front, but the cutout in the back makes it modern and up-to-date with today's peek-a-boo trend. It's flirty, girly, coy, innocent--I think you could send any message you want in this dress. Not to mention, it's perfect for pairing with floral print heals which have been making a very mild splash in the style scene.

Tan Shoes from UrbanOG

Hey. I'm back!
Now that we've been in school for a little while, all of the cute trends are starting to surface and the less than cute trends are starting to sink. Let's zero in on one of my favorite footwear trends of the moment--tan shoes. I'm particularly in love with tan boots, and, luckily, I just noticed Urbanog.com's selection of tan boots...I've got about 3 pairs in my shopping cart....but which ones do you like???


1. Cambridge Knee High
The Details: You'll be able to rush out the door in style with these knee high lace up boots. Along with a front lace up detail, you'll get side zipper closure to help your feet slip right into their dream boot. The flat height make these ideal for all day walking.
The Scoop: Lace ups are in. These are cuter than combat boots. The round toe keeps your look delicate, but the whole shoe packs a punch of feminine attitude.
The Style Tips: Pair with black leggings, a longer cardigan, and your favorite v-neck, and some feather accessories for a stylish, flirty look.

The Details: Mid calf cowboy inspired boots keep things casual and trendy. 
The Scoop: A cowboy cut adds flair and flavor to your look. 
The Style Tips: Wear with blue jeggings to bring out the boots' great color.

The Details: A side zipper helps you easily glide into these slouchy tan leatherette knee highs. Buckles give you edge and texture. The slight wedge keeps you comfy enough for extended walking, but still gives you that flirty appeal of extra height. 
The Scoop: The extra warm color will brighten up even your darkest looks. 
The Style Tips: Try to find matching accessories (bags, belts, watches, bangles)...if all fails, go for multi-color scarves or layered embellished necklaces that feature a warm neutral palette to complement the boots.
