Fashionista: Frills & Florals! ❀ ❀ ❀

Tuesday, March 29, 2011

Spring is about to go into full effect!  I'm so excited!  The trees are blossoming, the robins and blue jays are back, and the weather is warming up!  I really am loving some of the spring fashions in Japan and Korea right now.  The girls are wearing feminine and flirty skirts and dresses.  The frills and florals are refreshing and sweet!






























Until next time...

Vivi's Closet: Velour Rose Dress & More ♥ ♥ ♥

Wednesday, February 2, 2011

I'm elated!  I'm an avid believer in using positive thinking to mold my life.  So the dress that I posted a few days ago in my Valentine's Day Preparations post was out of stock nationwide. I put my name on a waiting list for every Free People store from the east coast to the west coast.  They even told me that the dress wouldn't be shipped to the stores until April.  Yet I stayed positive and forced myself to believe that I will be wearing that dress on Valentine's Day.  I stuffed that dress into my soul!  (LOL I'll stop now :P) A lil store associate from a Free People store in Costa Mesa, CA called and said one dress in my size showed up in her shipment today.  I bought it and it'll be here in 3 days, so look forward to my review and pictures!




Ironically, I'm wearing a Free People dress today....

So let's break down today's outfit of choice!




I'm wearing a velour cream colored dress with a wine colored rose detail.  Like I said, this dress was designed by Free People and cost $128.00.  This was from their 2010 winter collection, so if you find this dress, it should be on sale!  It does come with straps, but I prefer to wear it strapless.  The bandeau top of the dress is made of this lovely shimmering fabric. ◕‿◕




Over the dress I'm wearing a black vest by Charlotte Russe.  As you can see it has a lace detail in the back that isn't visible in my picture.  This vest is great for layering and cost $14.99. ♥




This is the belt I used to cinch the waistline of my silhouette.  I love the metal rose clips in the front.  I bought this belt from Forever 21 for $6.99.  ✿




You can't see my shoes in my picture, but these are the boots I'm wearing.  I just bought these yesterday from Dots for $18.99.  I love them, they are sooo comfy! ☃


Well that's todays outfit and I have a date tonight ;D  Me and the boo are going to have dinner at Ara in Annandale, VA.  It's a Korean karaoke restaurant, so we're going to get a private room and American Idol it up!  


Until next time...

Valentine's Day Preparations ♥ ♥ ♥

Friday, January 28, 2011

Valentine's Day is on the horizon!  For once I have someone special to celebrate this romantic holiday with, so I want to make nostalgic memories.  My date is a guy that I've been seeing and getting to know over the last few weeks.  We had our first date on New Years Day and our connection was electric.  It feels as if I've known him my whole life, but in reality we just met.  He's planning on reserving a room at the Gaylord Resort in the National Harbor and having dinner with me at an upscale restaurant by the water. 




Now women all over the world go through great lengths to pick the perfect outfit to wear on Valentine's Day.  I have my heart set on a dress by one of my favorite designers -- Free People, called the Wisteria and Lattice Dress in ivory.




Since I'm spending most of my budget on the dress ($128.00) I want to get my shoes from Charlotte Russe.  These are the Espadrille T-strap Platform Sandal and only cost $35.50.




Then of course an amazing outfit is not complete without great accessories and accents.  I think I want to wear Boho Charm necklace ($1.50) and the Cut Out Tear Drop earrings ($2.80).



I have an idea how I want to wear my hair too....maybe something like this....




My best friend told me about a Japansese custom of giving your valentine home made baked treats.  I think I might bake mine something yummy because I know he definitely has a sweet tooth.




Well those are my plans so far...are you doing anything special for V-Day?  Comments are appreciated!  Until next time...
