Spring at Ann Taylor Loft
So, after months of turning my eyes from shopping, I let myself go back to pick up some essentials. I made sure to only stop in a few stores: Anthropologie, Gap, Banana Republic, and Ann Taylor Loft.
I had a coupon for 30% off at Gap/BR, but when I spotted a sign for 30% off tees at ATL and tees were what I was shopping for, I took a looksie. I shopping specifically for tees for work and ATL has a more professional feel to it than Gap and is more affordable than BR.
As for Anthro, I only wanted to shop there for some plateware. :)
Anywho, Ann Taylor Loft had such cute stuff today! It reminded me a bit of J Crew from last year, but I don't care...I loved it! I wanted to buy a couple dresses, some cardigans, some scarves, but I kept myself to what I had gone there for - tees.
I need tees so I can layer them for work. Here's what I got:
Pink tee ~$20, white long sleeve T on sale $12.99, gray sweater (machine washable!) $20
Gray decorative T ~$24, white T ~$20
I liked how this pink (and the white) Ts have a ruffly neckline - decorative edges look nice under layers of cardigans and sweaters.
This decorative tee has a neat necklace and fun pattern down the front, plus it's machine washable/dryable.
Even this tie-neck sweater is machine washable. I love the muted gray. It goes with the pale pink/nude look that seems to be popular now.
Anywho, don't think I'll be shopping much any time soon, but here are some basics to keep me going. Meanwhile, the rest of my money will go towards our new house, renovations, and all that jazz.

A Dress for Any Occasion
So...I haven't been shopping. Not. At. All. Not really in stores and not really online, save an occasional browse or pass-through. I'm trying to save money for other things (like our new house) and can't really put money towards clothes - ESPECIALLY not when I already have so much I can barely contain it all!
However, I think some window shopping here or there would be healthy and help me see how people are styling clothes so I can style what I already have. I will be making purchases once in awhile, but not like I used to.
Lately, I've been craving dresses. I've decided I need a single red statement dress for holiday parties. I browsed online today in search of dresses and though I didn't find any red ones, I did find lots of other pretty ones.
A Dress for Any Occasion:
New Year's Eve Party
J Crew - Silk taffeta Karyn dress - $295
This metallic number will help you be the life of the party. So festive!
Classy Night Out
Banana Republic - Colorblock Dress Waist Dress - $130
The classic lines of this dress help you look sexy and appropriate.
Daytime Dress-Up
Modcloth - So Chic in Batik dress - $54.99
Pair this with tights and slouchy boots for a fab daytime look - shopping with the girls, getting groceries (what? some people dress up even for grocery shopping!), or running errands
Date Night
Anthropologie - Abstract Adornment Dress - $248
The deep winter hues of this fun pattern paired with the simple lines and fun jeweled necklace of this dress make you sophisticated-sexy.
What types of dresses are you shopping for (if any)?
NOTE: images from respective web sites

CLOTHES SHOW LIVE & SIMPLE SHOES COMPETITION.
Today with my school i went to Clothes Show Live in Birmingham!
I loved it a lot. The main show is my favourite, Presenters were Elle's very own style tester Louise Roe and Big Brother's little brother's George Lamb.
pictured here at the start of the show. Louise's outfit was stunning. Nude heels and a blue playsuit. What's not to love?
Then we heard music from up and coming British boyband, Vice.
Then the show began and it was spectacular. The dancers were amazing and the models clothes i loathed over. here are a few of my favourite snaps.
Okay, I know what you are all thinking. What did she actually wear to Clothes Show Live? I wore this:
Miss Selfridge puff sleeve top, Urban Outfitter lace panelled leggings, Black Skirt from Jennyfer, Vintage Red Scarf, Topshop Leaf Necklace, and of course my beautiful new Simple PEStoe boots!
Actually, do you remember them too?
Remember these beautiful shoes i was sent from the lovely Simple Shoes?
But i only had one shoe? I have been united with my left shoe! So i wore my new boots to Clothes Show and i got a lot of compliments and they didn't believe me that the shoe was completly recycled!
do you like them? would you like the chance to win your own pair of Simple Shoes? Just like mine?
Then all you have to do is take of yourself with your feet up, ideally in unique, unusual places, and upload it to the Simple Shoes site here.
I even did it myself at Clothes Show but the picture is a bit blurry.
I got a few odd looks for doing that, but you get the idea of the competition.
So now you are all thinking, hmm what are the chances of me winning a competition like this?
The more creative the entry the better, because once you’ve uploaded the picture, the daily winners will be determined by popular vote. I’ve attached a picture of myself putting my feet up as a bit of taster of what we’re looking for.
Simple Shoes are accepting entries now, and the giveaway will begin 12 days before Christmas Day. In keeping with the spirit of the song, they will have one winner on the first day, two on the second, three on the third and so on. So your chances of winning increase every day - we’ve got 78 pairs of shoes to give away!
Also I did make a few purchases from The Clothes Show, a dress and a top which will probably featured in a next outfit post, so watch out!

Martin + Osa: Labor Day Specials
Martin + Osa is offering some awesome Labor Day deals now through Labor Day: FREE SHIPPING (that's always nice, no?) on all orders and a free gift with purchase of regular price denim.
For the ladies:
With purchase of reg. price denim, you'll receive a M+O beautiful "Love Shop scarf (retails for $69.50).
For the men:
With purchase of reg. price denim, you'll receive a M+O awesome Two-color cotton web belt (retails for $39.50).
My pick for ladies:
If you're looking to update your wardrobe for fall, check out the Supercross jean in "Charcoal" ($120). This jean will help you rock out that tough-chic look that will be so popular. Pair with sky-high heels and a leather jacket to get the look.
My pick for the men:
I love these Vintage Slim Fit jeans ($99.50) in Black Resin Rinse Wash for Fall 2009. Same idea as above for the ladies but in a masculine way, of course. Pair with a simple light-tone, gray-wash tee and boots.
How the deal works:
- In store customers will have their choice of color for both the scarf and belt. Online orders color will be random.
- Max one men’s and one women’s gift per order (one men’s jean and one women’s jean = one belt and one scarf…. Two women’s jeans = one scarf)
Don't forget: FREE SHIPPING too on all orders!
