don't cry cowboys

I have a feeling that cowboy boots are going to be HUGE this season and next. Did you see the ones Isabel Marant sent down the runway last week? Totally loved the whites. Embellishing a denim vest/jacket with studs, brooches and large rhinestones in slightly random places seems like a lovely idea. ♥

Polka Dot Love

I absolutely love polka dots. They are such a huge trend right now. Actually...I feel weird calling them a "trend" because were they ever actually out of style? This print has been the must have look for so many people...for so many years! My absolute favorite way it is worn is on a dress. Polka dots have that vintage feel that make a simple dress look so classic and chic.

Cameron Diaz wore a beautiful black and white Christian Dior dress while in Paris for Couture Fashion Week. Don't you just love this look on her? I mean, if she wore this exact dress in a solid color she would still look pretty...but trust me when I say that we wouldn't be making a big fuss over her look. The polka dots are the star of this look. Beautiful Cameron...beautiful!  

Now, not many of us can afford to wear a Christian Dior dress...but there are so many affordable options out there that all of us can deck out our closet in spots!

A steaming mug of hot chocolate and those lovely tasseled earrings from The Row!

Usually I get sort of miserable when the weather becomes exceptionally chilly. Today was such a day in the sense that it was probably the last day I could sensibly wear my Chucks outside while still feeling my toes. Sad day. Bought a super soft, black acrylic scarf (go figure) to counter the cold. Bring on the holiday cheer!

Trend Block: Peter Pan Collars

The thing about trends is that usually depending on your age and body type they just don't work on everyone. I found a fantastic trend that EVERYONE needs in their closet now: the Peter Pan collar. What I love about it is that you can wear it so many ways! From dresses, to blouses, to necklaces...this trend is a look that is always adorable, works no matter the season or occasion, and really looks great on everyone that wears it. Here are some of my favorite Peter Pan collars that are out there now---

ASOS Leather Peter Pan Collar- $26.96

This collar is great because you can attach it to any outfit. It's a very simple and affordable way to transform your existing wardrobe.

Peter Pan Top from Delia's- $34.50

Bring trendiness to your office with this adorable top. 

Lapis Lace-uli Dress from ModCloth- $54.99

I love this collar in lace! It's so feminine and pretty with a vintage feel to it.

Lush Peter Pan Collar Tiered Tank (Juniors) from Nordstrom- $32.00

Throw a blazer on over this, pair it with jeans and some heels and you have a chic look perfect for a date or cocktails with friends.

Liquorish Coat With Peter Pan Collar from ASOS- now on sale for $116.81

This has to be one of the easiest ways to wear this trend. A great coat will always keep this trend in style.

Do you love Peter Pan collars? Which one is your favorite? How many do you have in your wardrobe?

Have you invested in one already? It's quite possibly the most MAJOR accessory of this season (besides the clutch bag, I think). I definitely wouldn't mind having a multitude of felt hats in rainbow colours, no siree.

I remember I was slightly besotted with those red tie-up Marc by Marc wedges a few seasons back. I still think they're rather cute...however, nowadays I'm more crazy about sporting red on my lips with a major RED LIPPIE than on my feet. Hope you have a smashing Friday night everyone! :)

loving right now: luxe dresses + booties

Totally brings down the overall girly look down a notch. Six words.

I'd wear this to a wedding.

but in a different light. This is why I always try to go to the store to see clothes with my own eyes before I buy any online. I still like this particular Stefanel sweater though. I think my mind is already jump starting to Autumn, falling in love with chunky knits again MAJORLY.

Perhaps the perfect combo? And I know it's hard to believe but I don't own any Parisian stripes whatsoever. I'm constantly searching for them on my shopping trips but have yet to find the right one...

A few black necklines that I have been favouring as of late. All can be accomplished in the form of bodysuits, dresses and bras and all are extremely sexy.

We're having such ambitious weather in Seoul at the moment. It feels like there's no Spring and we're heading straight for summer and all I want to wear in this warm weather are florals and breezy knitwear. I so want a bouquet of roses too!
