Lead Pipe Silk

There is no doubt that Old Navy has stepped
up their game in the past year. This little silk
number is one of those pieces you would never
expect to find in an Old Navy rack. I have been
so into one step dressing (e.g. dresses, jumpers)
and with the simple change of accessories this can
be dressed up or down. I love the feeling of silk
against my skin and this would be such a refreshing
addition to any girls wardrobe.



Silk Ruffle Tiered Dress
$29.50 Old Navy

My tip to the girls is to avoid those drapey dresses...
you know the ones from Forever 21 made of 100% Rayon.
They tend to get real nasty after one wear. I am so over disposable
clothing and have been investing in classics or statement pieces.
Save your money for timeless pieces you can rework every year.

Oh and check out this book:
A Rare Breed of Love
a great read - and it also shows
how awful puppy mills are.

Prada For Almost Nada

I was at the mall yesterday when something
so pleasing yet disturbing caught my eye.
It's no secret that floral is the IT print and
trend of the season. The window display at Express
is what made me stop and stare.



Obviously reminded me of the 2008 Prada Resort Collection .

All of the Prada Collections this Spring have been making
me crazy. So it was pretty awesome to find something so
exactly similar!



I dont tend to think of Express as being so fashion forward and I looked
at other stuff on thie site... pretty cheesy club gear and work basics. I hope
they don't do well so I can get one on sale ;)


Silk Strapless Dress in Midnight Roses
$128.00 Express.com

This is the one I want, if any... Loving
the silhouette and retro rose print.
Birthday Dress or Half my Ticket to L.A.? Hmmm...
