FASHION DEAL DIVA: Daily Etsy Spotlight



It's been way too long since I featured some hair bling!  I have a BAJILLION weddings to attend this year, and sometimes the same dress will have to be worn.  In those instances, I plan on adding different jewelry and some hair bling to mix up the look for those who may have seen the dress on a prior occasion.

I could not imagine a more perfect shade of yellow for spring.  Bright and full of life, light will radiate off of you like you're wearing the sun!

FASHION DEAL DIVA: The Minimalist


That searing, beautiful blue that I hold close to my heart is featured in this super minimalist sandal.  I know this particular blue is hard to handle for some folks, but you can't deny how wonderful it works as a bright *pow* of color in a sandal where there isn't that much sandal there to begin with.

Also, Kensie shoes always fall off my radar.  I think of them as dress/sweater folks, but their shoes should not be forgotten!

FASHION DEAL DIVA: In Dress Rainbows



As my trip to the Dominican Republic inches ever closer, I need to stock up on some new sun dresses for my trip!  this beautiful rainbow pattern is meant to be paired with a colorful drink and a floppy straw hat.  Anthropologie has seriously outdone themselves with this dress, and while the original price was {{ahem}} way too expensive, the $119 price tag now is totally justifiable.

Price: $119.95 (originally $228.00)

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Guys Buys



I do believe this is the first time I've featured a men's penny loafer on guys buys!  So many men have at least one loafer among their dress shoe collection, but what really roped me in on this particular shoe was the color.  If you have a suit in a brown, or tweed, or even some shades of blue, this shoe is the obvious choice over (gasp) a clashing black.

Yes, I notice when your shoes don't match your pants!!!

HOMEY HONEY: Light and Airy

I'm so ready for spring. I would love all the snow to melt away and feel some warmer temperatures and even a spring breeze. In my effort to bring spring here, I found some light airy curtains to make it feel a little more spinglike. I love that these are made from a gauze material so they are light and airy. They also come in a variety of colors. My favorite is the ivory, but check out all the colors! They also are currently on sale. Snap these up and add some spring to your house.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Macrame Me!


The detailing on these shoes is called macrame, and I am OBSESSED!  When it's done wrong, it looks like an outfit your grandma would wear.  But when it's done right (as it is above), its a cute and fun summer shoe meant to be paired with your most colorful sundress.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Shoelace Trendings



The other day I was looking at my favorite oxfords, and I noticed that there were only four holes for laces, as opposed to the usual 10 or 12.  I guess I hadn't noticed that along with the oxford trend was also a trend of less shoelacing generally.

These rugged oxford booties are especially perfect for the fashionista who wants a shoe with a little more dimension and a greater ability to survive the elements.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: My New Everyday Cardigan



I bought this sweater on Saturday, and I wore it that night.  Then I wore it again on Monday.  And Tuesday.  And I'll probably wear it again tomorrow.  It is so comfortable and makes me look great!  And I happen to love this beautiful mustard color, which pairs very well with blue jeans and a white t-shirt!

FRUGAL FIANCÉE: 42 Flavors.

Spring means new bridesmaid's dress style are out and I really like the one above from David's Bridal. The satin is folded over to create an interesting structure, but the cut is still simple and flattering. This one comes in 42 colors so there is no way you can claim it won't fit into your wedding theme!

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Winter Discounts



February is when you start to see very winter-y dresses get the deep discounts that make them affordable.  This Milly dress really can't be worn past March, but that doesn't mean it can't sit in your closet until next October!  At such a great price, it's hard to turn up, and it's so classic that no one will know which season it was from.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: It's All In The Construction



This dress is plain, but constructed so beautifully that I couldn't resist putting it up!

I love the small cowl neck and the slightly ruched sleeves!  Who wouldn't want to wear something that gives their arms a slimming effect?  Just be sure that you buy it in the right size, because the beauty of this dress is that it's *not* tight.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Daisy Daisy, Give Me My Earring Blue


This beautiful nexus of cute blue plastic and ear bling somehow works perfectly.  It's definitely something I wouldn't pair together!  But as a lover of white daisies and the self-proclaimed white t-shirt queen, I can see these becoming my go-to casual outfit earrings.  They'll match everything but black!

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Spring Into Some Flats


Flats are a crucial part of every spring wardrobe.  In many parts of the country, spring means it's warm enough to put those boots away, but still chilly enough that sandals would not be appropriate.  for that in-between weather that can change on a dime, flats are always a good bet.

These preppy, schoolgirl bow flats can work with tights and a mustard colored skirt, or just a plain old pair of straight leg jeans.  What a delightful color combo!

FRUGAL FIANCÉE: Sequined.






I'm not a huge fan of crystals or sequins on a wedding gown because often they just seem like an afterthought. However, the dress above shows how these sparklies can be used elegantly. If you want to shine on your wedding day (but not blind everyone with your dress) consider the above.

FASHION DEAL DIVA: Rain Rain Come My Way!



Need a spring coat?  Why not pick one in a bright colored pattern!

I love this whimsical plaid peacoat.  How cute would this coat be on a rainy April day?  Just by putting it on, you'll  bring a smile to yourself and those around you!

Although the price point is a bit high, there are only three left, so there won't be a sale on this cutie any time soon!
