Wish List

Queen Bee — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 04:17:39 +0000

I have a list of things that I don’t need, can’t afford, but I want oh so badly. Do you have a wish list too? Here’s mine. Let’s compare!

1. Hooded Leather Jacket

From tobi.com

Why hooded? It adds a bit of character and lets you stand out from the leather moto crowd. This one from Mike & Chris has just the right balance of girly toughness.

2. Flat Brown Boots

From zappos.com

As you know, I’m looking for the perfect pair of brown boots and I’m infatuated with this pair by Apepazza even though my budget is more Forever21.

3. Leather Bag

From aspinaloflondon.com

I don’t even need a bag. I just want this travel bag by Aspinal of London!

Mits & Gloves

Queen Bee — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 05:09:47 +0000

Summer is officially over (sigh), but along with the cooler weather comes cute Fall clothes. The one thing I absolutely cannot stand is having cold hands, so the search is on for some cute mittens and gloves.

From freepeople.com

Fingerless gloves are nice because you can still use your fingers…until they get too cold to function.

From asos.com

From freepeople.com

But to prevent fingersicles, I’m thinking I need a pair with fingers.

From shopruche.com

From asos.com

Or perhaps try the kind with both options.

From asos.com

I’m on the fence and can’t decide which pair to get.

How are you keeping your hands warm this winter?

Real Women Have Curves

Queen Bee — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 17:13:13 +0000

Sometimes (most of the time) fashion sites have icky skeletor models. Really, who looks like that in real life?! Pshhh… So here are some fabulous Homecoming dresses for us real women out there! This dress is by far my favorite and would be perfect for showing off your gorgeous curves.

From promgirl.com

If you are blessed with a voluptuous chest, try going strapless. Show off what you’ve got!

From sydneyscloset.com

If you are curvy everywhere except the chest, try a dress like this with embellishments on the top to balance out your figure.

From unique-vintage.com

And dresses with a ruched bodice make you look slimmer in the waist and really accentuate curvy hips (in a good way!).

From promgirl.com

What tips do you Mafiettes have about showing off your curves in formal wear?

Joy of Jovani

Queen Bee — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:47:36 +0000

Jovani has an *amazing* selection of homecoming dresses. So amazing that it was tough to select just a few for this post!

Have a favorite?

Homecoming Heels

Queen Bee — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 11:12:36 +0000

Hurray for heels! Though personally, I only wear them for the pictures and then I change into flip flops. Regardless, they sure are cute and are an absolute must if you are going for a chic or formal look at Homecoming.

Every girl needs a pair of black heels and these are a-mazing!

From zappos.com

Granted, they are $930…But, there are heels out there for any budget.

I found these on sale for $80.

From zappos.com

And this pair is only $26!!

From lulus.com

These brown cuties are only $80.

From zappos.com

These leather heels would look hot with a punk rock tutu dress.

From zappos.com

This pair also has a cute zipper embellishment, but they are much more girly.

From zappos.com

But, no need to go black. If it suits your dress and your personality, go bold with colors like pair.

From zappos.com

Or these adorable retro shoes by Marc Jacobs.

From zappos.com

Are they not amazing? I love this pair too.

From zappos.com

And anything by Betsey is perfect in my book, including this pair of Betseyville shoes.

From zappos.com

What color shoes will you be wearing to Homecoming this year?

Rainy Day Boots

Queen Bee — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 11:07:45 +0000

In general, I don’t mind the rain. In fact, I love jumping in puddles! And to do that, you need a good pair of rain boots, like these.

From modcloth.com

If you’re a Hello Kitty fan, these boots are for you. Can’t get any more girly than that!

From nordstrom.com

These watermelon boots are so quirky.

From nordstrom.com

These cuties are perfect for twitter-holics.

From nordstrom.com

I’m in love with these brown and green boots.

So, don’t let the rain get you down or keep you indoors. Go outside in your fab boots and have fun!

August Fashion Inspiration

Pretty in Pink — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 07:27:15 +0000

Some of my fave stuff from Lookbook.nu this month:

I so wish I had hair as long as this!

And this is such a cute dress (love the way the lollipo is the same as the sunglasses!):

I love the belt in this one, and the military-style jacket on the right:

This skirt is so beautiful (love the ruffles):

This last one is way too gorgeous. It kind of reminds me of Alice In Wonderland:

Embellished Boots

Queen Bee — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 12:23:40 +0000

Though you can wear boots year round, I always think of them as a fall and back to school fashion. Always a fan of the dramatic, I prefer embellished boots like this pair to plain old black ones.

From modcloth.com

Since strappy boots are more than a fad, investing in a cute pair like these will be a good investment because they will be in style for years to come.

From nordstrom.com

For something a bit more girly, try these adorable leather and lace booties.

From nordstrom.com

And, when talking about boots, how can Frye not be mentioned?

From nordstrom.com

And, if flat boots are more your style, there are plenty of cute embellished pairs.

From lulus.com

As for me and my $0 budget, I’m just going to have to rock the boots I already have. Luckily, my two favorite pairs are super cute.

I bought both of these in Spain over a year ago, so I can’t find them for sale anywhere online. Sorry!
