Fashionably Late: Sexy Black Maxi Dress


I love getting all dolled up to go somewhere but I sometimes hate how long it takes me to get ready. It seems like there are days when I can pull myself together effortlessly and then there are days when I practically need an army to get me out of the house in time. Let's not even get on the topic of what my room looks like after all this madness! 

If I have time I like to choose my outfit the night before an event and leave it layed out. This takes so much stress out of the getting ready process the day of. If I haven't had time to pre-select an outfit I will spend my time in the shower thinking of all my options and will most times have it narrowed down to two good candidates by the time I get out. When all this fails I stick with the basics. A little black dress really is a woman's best friend and works well for so many occasions. This sexy black maxi dress is my latest obsession in the little black dress department.




The back of this sexy black maxi dress is my favorite. It features a deep open back cut-out, sexy criss-cross straps and a flirty chiffon bow that drapes beautifully. From the front, this black maxi dress is classic and simplistic but then you turn around and notice all the eyes in the room on you. I've always loved backless styles and now I feel comfortable wearing them after finding the holy grail of completely strapless bras. Target sells a "sticky bra" that literally just sticks in place, offering smooth coverage and moderate lift and support without any pesky straps. This awesome bra will set you back about twenty-five dollars but you can re-use it several times and even hand wash it. You can find this bra and purchase here.

Little Black Dress in New York City

Every time I visit New York I can’t help but fantasize about Carrie Bradshaw’s
 impeccable outfit choices on Sex and the City! 

This outfit definitely fueled my Carrie Fever even more. 

 I tend to wear a lot of color because I feel drab in plain black, but this sassy little black dress is far from drab! The flattering A-line cut silhouette would surely look marvelous on Miss Carrie Bradshaw and just about anyone for that matter. Black is well liked for it's slimming properties while the A-line cut is popular for it's universally flattering fit. The strappy details make this LBD feel modern and sexy. I must say, this is currently my favorite little black dress in my closet. 



 I kept the classic vibe going from head to toe with Black and White Accessories. I got my black and white Chanel cuff from the Spring 2006 Collection. As you can see, trends may come and go but classic black and white pieces will always be in style. Even my black and white polka dot earrings are practically vintage. I paid $1 for them in downtown LA almost 10 years ago and they are still cute and stylish today! My vegan snakeskin envelope clutch is the Serpentine Clutch from ImHaute.com and my fabulous and super comfy single sole wedges are from Nine West.




Alrighty, now where is Mr. Big?!

Blue Pants





Colorful pants are a fun way to add a pop of color to your outfit.


Winter clothing can be so dreary and monochromatic. That is why I love these pants. Blue jeans are so typical but royal blue wide-leg pants are not. They are a bit unexpected and completely chic.  Due to the cold and gloomy weather this time of year I decided to wear fleece lined leggings underneath my pants. The luxurious silky fabric would feel great on my skin in Summer but Winter is all about layers! 
One of my all time favorite layering tools for cold weather is my black faux fur vest. We met by fate! I found it in a box of clothing from a storage unit that I bought one day. It still had the tags on (along with most of the clothes) and I instantly fell in love with it! I think I love it even more because it is a size large. Lately, I like my style to have a lot of texture and dimension. This over-sized vest adds both.

I love that pointy shoes are making a come back. I think there is something so elegant about this style. The pointy toe pump is a classic. These black velvet pumps have patent trim and a bow. Totally sophisticated and totally cute!
 These bold blue pants may seem hard to pull off but in fact they are quite flattering and versatile. Here are some celebs rockin Wide-Leg Blue Pants as well.

What I'm wearing:

My jewelry, hat & shoes are from I'm Haute.com
Striped Shirt- Wet Seal
Faux Fur Vest- I have seen similar style vests on ebay.
Blue Pants- from AmiClubwear but out of stock now :-/
