Me as a Disco Ball

Happy New Year! I still can't believe I really got this crazy sparkly dress. If you are familiar with my fashion style you know this is the polar opposite of my normal look but I really like the way it turned out. The dress is from a dress shop in Richmond and the beaded jacket is from Need Supply. You can see more sparkle on the #discomania Pinterest Board.

Indigo Dress

My new indigo print dress obsession from Plümo. I get my heart set on these dresses but never seem to make the commitment to actually buying them. I had almost talked m self into the Orinui Calypso dress but didn't get it in time before it sold out.

Where have I been?

Where have I been? Under a rock? How did I not know about this amazing blog Pattern Observer? Most of it is patterns in fashion but other stuff too. Some really great eye candy like this Gaultier number.  

Orinui Dress!!

I really really need this orinui patterned indigo tyedye dress from Calypso. Only problem is it is on the non refundable sale online sale rack. Should I risk it? I think so.

Dress Stalking

I was researching ikat patterns on the web today and I kept running into this lovely pattern by Mocium. Of course everything of there's is wonderful.

All of Maryink's designs are beautiful but I can't say no to llamas.

Red Prairie Press

Tiss the the season for all the super fat fashion magazines. This is the Orinui version. 

Chakra

All the little ones I know are boys. I am so excited to find out that a friend is expecting a little girl. I can't wait. I love looking at all the super cute girly things that are available. This line of clothing from Chakra (via Bliss) is exatly the type of thing I love. Amazing beautiful fabric. 

Small World

I saw a link to Need Supply Co. on Cafe Cartolina. Huh, I didn't know they were a chain? Turns out they aren't but they do have a web site just like everyone else on the planet. Makes me feel really lazy to shop at a store a few miles away from me from my couch.  They are having a great sale on pretty summer dresses right now.

I am still looking for the perfect buttons for a cardigan sweater I have. These colorful vintage buttons make me happy. I hope they make you happy too.

Blue Manatee Buttons

I apologize for forcing Orinui readers to dress shop with me but I finally found the perfect dress for a friends wedding in June. It was on sale at Anthropologie. They were out of my size in the store and online but they did a nationwide store search to find it for me. I have a blue cardigan I want to wear with the new red dress but it could use some new snazzy buttons. These are some cool choices from Etsy. 

Chevron Dresses

Still haven't had a chance to go clothes shopping in the real world. But I definitely have an idea of what I want. 

Isn't this super pretty. But unfortunately not for sale. From Sweet Sassafras

This one is at least for sale but should I make the leap to order a dress all the way from Sweden? It looks like it would be very figure flattering. From Christina Pires.

This one would be a cute summer dress. Plus it looks just like one of my Chevron prints. From Spool no72.

So have you missed me? I have been a little scarce on the blog because I am up to my eyeballs in work for Spring Bada Bing. I also apologize for my photos on the blog lately I don't have Photoshop Elements on the new laptop so I am at the mercy of the new Blogger program. I know it is supposed to be easier but really it's not helping that much. As soon as I get a break after the show I am going shopping for some new clothes. Thanks for the link to Annabelle via Heysusy.

Mad Imports

I keep seeing these in all the fashion magazines lately. Turns out they are echo friendly as well as beautiful. Made in Madagascar from beautifully dyed raffia and wood.
