Fabulous Footwear Friday

March 11, 2011 by

As I have mentioned previously, I have got spring on the brain and these shoes scream warm, sunny days to me. I am in love with these shoes. The price tag, not so much. But a girl can dream, right?

Outfit Request: Defending a Thesis

March 9, 2011 by

I got a request yesterday from a Tipsy reader asking my opinion about what to wear when defending a thesis in a science field. For those of you who don’t know any science-minded people, many of them are a tad bit challenged when it comes to style. And by a tad bit, I mean a whole lot.  Because they often dress super casual for work (jeans and socks with sandals…eek!), the goal is to look professional without being too dressy (i.e. no suits). Here are a few options I came up with…

option 1. Fixed Bow Striped Sheath Dress +Mossimo Black Vanette Kitten Heel Pumps

option 2. Merona Collection Jillian Crosshatch Skirt + Merona Women’s Double Layer Shirred V-Neck Top + Adi Desings Classic Pointed Toe Pumps

option 3. Ruffle and Striped Belted Dress + Cuffed Sleeve V-Neck Cardigan + Mossimo Pearce Pumps

option 4.  Banded Waist Button Front Shirt + Chino Solid Ruffle Skirt + Mossimo Pearce Pumps

For those of you looking for something less trendy, you can never go wrong with a classic sheath dress!

Huarache Love

March 9, 2011 by

Der was wearing some sandals the other day that I fell in LOVE LOVE LOVE with, but alas they aren’t available anymore…at least they aren’t online anymore and I didn’t see them at my local Target.  All of these are very reminiscent of Der’s, yet don’t have the price tag I’m really longing for.

  1. BC Footwear Ciao Bella, Endless
  2. Born Huarache Thongs, Garnet Hill (of course my fav, I’ll take these in brown metallic please)
  3. Frye Zoe Huarache Thong, Zappos (this comes in a TON of different colors)
  4. Reef Reefachi, Zappos
  5. Indigo Gull Pond Cork Wedge Sandals, Garnet Hill

Fabulous Footwear Friday

March 4, 2011 by

It’s rodeo season here in Houston, so I feel like today’s Fabulous Footwear Friday should definitely be a boot!  I purchased these boots a couple of months ago and I must say, they are hands down, one of the most comfortable boots I own.  And how can you go wrong with a RED boot!

Gingham: Its Not Just For Picnics Anymore…

March 3, 2011 by

I don’t know if anyone else has noticed, but gingham print is a big trend for this spring. I’ve always found myself gravitating towards this print, even if it does make me feel like a picnic blanket or a country bumpkin sometimes.  Either way, I am all over this trend.

  2. 6pm.com, Fred Perry Sunshot Gingham
  3. LL Bean, Fabric Belt
  4. J Crew, Gingham Sonoma Short

  6. Target, Mossimo Supply Co Gingham Tote
  7. Banana Republic, Ruffle Trim Gingham Shirt
  8. Target, Merona Women’s Bermuda Short (another one in my closet already)

  10. Payless, Serendipity Gingham High Wedge

Latest Loves

March 1, 2011 by

These are the latest things I’ve been crushing on lately.  What are you crushing on lately?

  1. Elastic Espadrilles, Boden-I could not love this color more.  The price on the other hand, I could do without that.
  2. Jewelled Button Cardigan, Boden-I love me a good cardigan and this just snazzes things up a bit.
  3. Sky Drops Earrings, Anthropologie-I helped throw a baby shower over the weekend and this was the hostess gift I got. I am in absolute love with these earrings.
  4. Coptic Cross Bracelet, Sundance Catalog-I saw a bracelet similar to this on the BonBon Rose Girls site and have yet to stop thinking about it.  This is the closest I’ve come to finding something like it.
  5. Mossimo Ownah Striped Espadrilles, Target-I actually purchased these since it’s already getting summer-like here .  I plan on wearing the hell out of them this spring/summer.

Converse: Marimekko & More!

February 16, 2011 by

By now you should know that all of us Tipsy gals are Converse fans…including Der who has been converted.  I heard they had a couple of new lines coming out, one being the famous Marimekko designs and I had to check them out.  My opinion, SUPER CUTE!  In addition to Marimekko, there are Converse (PRODUCT) RED and Dr. Seuss (which honestly I thought were only in the kid sizes, but oh I was wrong!)

  1. Jack Purcell Helen Marimekko
  2. All Star Marimekko
  3. All Star Marimekko
  4. All Star Wrapping Paper
  5. All Star Dr Seuss
