Ruffle Gloves in Purple

Women's Merona Ruffle Glove in Purple - Target $17.99

Don't walk! Run to your local Target to snap up one of these lovely pairs of gloves. This item is no longer available online but I've seen it in at least two local Target locations. The gloves are bright purple with the most divine ruffle accent! The lining inside is smooth. You will want to wear (and stare at) these gloves all day long.

Oakland Booty

Impo Oakland Bootie - DSW - $44.95

And you don't even need an L.A. face to go with this Oakland Bootie. These ankle boots are divine. Soft material, a nice big bow, folded cuff and a sturdy but slender heel. My old black ankle boots, which I've had for 7+ years, are falling apart so I was long overdue for a new pair. What an upgrade this was. And how! Price-wise, these are a good deal for a pair of nice ankle boots. If you are a DSW Rewards member, these boots are even cheaper with a rewards certificate or coupon. And if you buy them online, they are eligible for free shipping. Huzzah!

Cloche Hat Love #2

Cloche hats are timeless and we vintage-style-loving gals are very lucky because these hats are popping up everywhere this season. My collection has already grown to about 10 and I would still buy more if I had the room and the money. Cloche hats are a great Fall/Winter accessory. They keep your head warm, they can complement your outfit and they are very eye-catching. And although the cloche-hat-wearing ladies of the 1920s and 1930s wore their cloches with short hair, I think these hats complement long hair too. The hat gives your head a very sleek uniform shape and out from the bottom comes this luscious wave of hair. Tres magnifique! Here are some lovely cloche hats, of various prices, that you can find online. And while they are not selling them online, I encourage you to check out the cloche hats in blue and purple at DSW.

amazingly cute dresses

I was sorting through my bookmarks today, and came across this site I had favorited over a year ago and totally forgotten about! eShakti has an amazing selection of adorable dresses -- I've picked my six favorites (which is hard to do when they have dozens worthy of inclusion in my top six!) but I highly suggest checking the site out for yourself, you might just find the most perfect dress in the universe (it does exist, and it is probably on this website.)

hurry up!

Modcloth is having a HUGE HUGE HUGE sale right now! Dresses I could never afford in a million years are now marked 70% off, which places them squarely in my price range. If there's something you've been eying for a while, head on over to their sale page and see if it's on sale! I managed to scoop up 4 dresses that have been on my drool list for months, all for 1/3 of their regular prices.

But make sure you hurry! Things are selling out in the blink of an eye! Two items I purchased this morning are already out of stock, so quit reading this and get moving!! GO -->

perfect staple dress

This is my idea of the perfect staple dress. It has the most adorable sweetheart neckline, and a figure flattering shape that emphasizes your waist and helps hide your hips. (At least, this is flattering for me..)

And it's incredibly versatile. Worn alone with some pearls, an updo and a little clutch this would be an amazing dress to wear for a night out. But add a cardigan, slouchy tote and flats and it works perfectly for casual wear too! And for $26, how can you pass it up?!

It's available in dark purple, dark green and black on Charlotte Russe's newly re-designed and finally easy-to-peruse website. They're currently having a buy-one-get-one-free sale on dresses, but unfortunately this beauty isn't included :(

clothes call

In addition to having incredibly cute clothes and accessories, does Modcloth not come up with the most adorable names for their products?! This "clothes call" necklace is currently on sale, reduced from $57.99 to $39.99.
