Behold...the latest in Bridal

It's here! The much-discussed bridal line BHLDN from Urban Outfitters finally debuted today and offers much for the indie bride-to-be to pick from! The gowns are vintage-inspired, whimsical, and certainly lovely for the bride who wants anything but a traditional white princess ballgown. Most of these aren't my personal style, but I appreciate how beautifully they're styled, and the price points (all are under $4,000) aren't too shabby either.







Check out the site--plenty of frilly dresses, lingerie, accessories and more!
J. Crew, eat your heart out!

Casual Elegance

Spontaneous shopping trip with the sister to Urban Outfitters led to this purchase:



I'm one of those particular individuals who would much rather get dressed up than bum around in jeans and a top, so it's not a shocker that my closet is packed to the brim with dresses, but is lacking a little in the top/casual shirt category.

This floaty top has ornate embellishment so I still feel fancy; but with the ease and drapery of a casual (but elegant) T-shirt. (Oh, and obviously, I'd pair with skinny jeans and heels instead of this weird tan leather mini skirt and tights combo as photographed here.)

Bow Obsession Continued...

I'm not big on watches (I prefer bracelets), but I always keep hope alive that one day I'll find the perfect watch that'll make me change my stubborn ways.

This adorable plastic bow watch by Betsey Johnson is unique, for sure, but I'm not sure if it's versatile enough to actually wear everyday (and not get annoyed with its potential clunkiness.)




Either way, for what it's worth, it's super cute.

Halloween May Be Over...

...but that doesn't mean you can't still get your flapper style on!



I'd wear this swingy skirt out to dinner or to a work event without thinking twice.

Serious Savings

Urban Outfitters is one of those unavoidable stores that grows with you as a person. Meaning, I firmly believe that you can comfortably shop there whether you're 12 or 32, whether your style leans more towards bohemian love child or trend-laden fashionista, and still find something totally cute. I've been shopping there since middle school, and despite a serious lull in college (and several revisions of my personal style), I've since found my way back years later without shame.

I was ridiculously proud of myself for refraining from shopping all weekend long, but had a relapse today when I followed my sister to the back to find their terrifically-picked-over-yet-still-highly-profitable sale.

I scored a pile of basics (shorts, skinny jeans, a chic romper and a vest) that all excite me in different new, yet very reliable ways. (If that makes any sense at all.)


Best of all? Every piece I picked out (with the exception of the vest) was on sale for $9.99.

Um, seriously.

Dear Fabulous File...

Q: In the trailer of the upcoming season of The Hills, Lauren Conrad is wearing a navy swing coat with an oversize bow on the back. I must have this coat! Any ideas where I can find something like it?

-Aesha

A: At first glance, I would say LC's darling coat looks like something crafted by a chic yet whimsical designer like Tara Jarmon or Erin Fetherston. Paris-based designer Erotokritos sent a series of girly-inspired pieces down the runway last season, with a huge emphasis on oversize bows, but I couldn't locate Lauren's navy version to be exact.

For a similar look with a casual twist, snap up this charming hooded baby doll swing jacket from Urban Outfitters:



At just $54, it's a style steal (and much more seasonal this time of year than a heavy wool coat.)
