'Dating Rules' Fashion: Episode 1 - 'Who R U?'

I've just been totally charmed by Dating Rules from My Future Self and was feeling inspired by Lucy's style. It's quirky-dorky-girlie, with a touch of vintage. Here's her outfit from the first episode, 'Who R U?'

I love the color combination in her outfit from this episode! The cream, yellow, and mustard work so well together because they're in the same color family. The pop of purple from her satchel is unexpected, but I like it.

Get the look:

1. Cardigan | 2. Lace Dress | 3.  Cat-eye readers  | 4.  Purple satchel  | 5. Skinny yellow belt

Wear a cream lace dress that's fitted at the natural waist and has a full skirt. Top it with a mustard yellow boyfriend cardigan and bold yellow skinny belt. For the finishing touches, add a purple satchel and Lucy's signature oversized cat-eye glasses. Add a little red lipstick and a cute bike, and you'll be all set!

You can watch the episode here.

Stay tuned for more fashion and outfit inspirations from 'Dating Rules from My Future Self'!

Pretty Little Things: January Odds 'n Ends

Just a few odds 'n ends from this month! :)

(Some of my) organized nail polish bottles

Betsey Johnson animal rings set (got on sale at Macy's for about $15!)

Yummy Thai food ("Chicken Jubilee") from lunch with one of my closest friends from high school

A pretty new flower hat from Albertus Swanepoel x Target 

Gold playing cards (definitely the fanciest in my collection); a Christmas gift from my co-worker 

Fun hand signal bookmarks; a Christmas gift from my friend Liz

 Enjoy the weekend!

Part like waves

Outfit Details: White sailor tunic (Forever 21 / similar here) | Heather gray boyfriend cardigan (Love Rocks via TJMaxx) | Heather gray leggings (American Basics) | Black suede "Folklore" boots (Seychelles / buy here) | Red pleather satchel (Vieta via Marshall's / similar here) | Red satin headband (Erin Fetherston x Target) | Silver anchor earrings (Forever 21)

I don't know why, but I often revert to the nautical look! I like sailor collars, stripes, and anchors, and I even enjoy mixing red, white, and blue together. I've only worn this dress once before--I had trouble thinking of different ways to wear it! I threw on a boyfriend cardigan and leggings, which is always an easy way to change up a dress.

Also, I decided to add a little collage feature to my outfit posts! From now on, I'll be linking to the items that I wear (or similar items) in case you're feeling inspired or just want to know where to find them. I hope this helps you in your fashion styling adventures.

Sretsis Spring/Summer 2012

I always look forward to viewing Sretsis' latest collection on Maximillia. Pim Sukhahuta's designs are fresh, feminine, and whimsical (and hey, she even interned for Marc Jacobs!). It's a shame the pieces are completely out of my price range, but it's still fun to pull inspiration from them.

The Spring/Summer 2012 (southern hemisphere's Autumn/Winter 2012) is full of clever Bambi-inspired deer print dresses, playsuits, and coats, as well as feminine lace details and colorful daisy appliques. Here are my favorite looks:
