Surviving Wedding Season, Single Girl Style http://www.splendicity.com/shopaholicsdaily/surviving-wedding-season-single-girl-style/ http://www.splendicity.com/shopaholicsdaily/surviving-wedding-season-single-girl-style/#comments Thu, 09 Jul 2009 13:39:15 +0000 Aly Walansky http://www.splendicity.com/shopaholicsdaily/?p=9967 Post from: Shopaholics Daily

Ah, summer: A time when it appears your friends are getting married and settling happily into domestic bliss while you remain, well, the not.
Not that you are bitter or anything! You have…fabulous shoes.

Delivery.com, a site I swear by for my spicy tuna roll lunch specials, just released list of recommended items to help survive wedding season–it’s so stylish a concept, I had to share.

  • Flip Flops - To slip on, in between pictures when you are stuck in ill-fitting shoes, chosen by the bride who thinks they are gorgeous…
  • A flask - When the champagne isn’t flowing fast enough…
  • Earplugs - For when your bridezilla best friend is screaming at everyone…
  • Mints - To pop in your mouth when you talk to the ONE cute boy at the reception…
  • Double Stick Tape - To keep you in that dress you would rather burn than wear..
Shopbop.com

Shopbop.com

Speaking of double stick tape, I must give a moment of uber props to commando’s new matchtips, which are purse-friendly tins of double stick tape dots. They stick to skin and fabric, so they really do help to make those red-light wardrobe emergencies go away! Meaning you can wear your ugly bridesmaid dress with confidence…even if it is strapless and a random shade of orange, and you have no cleavage to hold it up. Good luck!

So, single lady readers - what are your stylish tips for surviving summer romance season?

Back in the day, you might have thought of Coach as offering very nice handbags but a little bit plain. But have you seen some of their latest pieces? Right now Coach has a bunch of beautiful, colorful totes that are available at Nordstrom. For bold solids to fun prints, you are sure to find a Coach tote that you love. Here are a few of my personal favorites.

Coach Poppy Glam Tote
This roomy tote bag comes in fabulous fabrics. Here we see in their Signature Pop Art graphic with metallic leather trim. It’s priced at just under $200.

The universe has Twilight fever.

ChickDowntown.com

ChickDowntown.com

I have yet to see the movie - but I hope to SOON. (Or at least own the book for plane reading…did I mention I’m going to Mexico in six days???)

But anyway, I am digressing (yet again).

You Twilight fans probably remember a certain jacket featured in this hit movie.

Bella wears a cozy drawstring hooded jacket by BB Dakota, and now, at my very favorite store on the “interweb”, we can too. ChickDowntown.com HAS the Bella jacket!

I had actually seen this jacket before, on eBay. There, it is highly coveted, and so hard to come by that sellers are racking in serious dough to shell out the few they had available. But now, their fun is up…you can buy it for  under $65!

Aside from the cinema-appeal, the jacket is totally cute. It has fleece lining, ribbed cuffs, distressed pockets, and everything you need to be sporty chic - and score Robert Pattinson, it seems.

We all know that Diane von Furstenberg is the queen of the wrap dress. But she creates a lot of other beautiful styles of dresses too, from gorgeous evening wear to sporty day dresses. With ruffles being on trend this summer, you can’t go wrong with this pink ruffled jersey dress from DVF.

I am going to Baja, La Paz, and Cabos next week on a press trip, and I’m super excited - I haven’t been to Mexico in years!

I am a little concerned about melting under the sun, though, and have decided protective gear is probably in order.

strawbags

HatAttack.com

As is a straw bag. But this is entirely an issue of coordination. Buji Baja’s toyo crochet packable bag and Hat Attack’s toyo crochet packable hat, which
go for a wallet-friendly $60 and $45, respectively.

Packable is super important - when you are going on a trip, whether it’s 3 days or a week, it’s really easy to throw everything in a bag and not think about how it’s going to look once you get there.

The end result? Crushed, wrinkled belongings that you will not want to use - but you have no options since you are already in another country. (Well, you can shop, but that gets pricey after a while!)

My preference: Things that pack well, look cute, and take up very little space - these apply!

Flapper Trend: The Next Generation http://www.splendicity.com/shopaholicsdaily/flapper-trend-the-next-generation/ http://www.splendicity.com/shopaholicsdaily/flapper-trend-the-next-generation/#comments Sun, 05 Jul 2009 17:43:34 +0000 Aly Walansky http://www.splendicity.com/shopaholicsdaily/?p=9659 Post from: Shopaholics Daily

Did last year’s flapper trend get a spin-off?

flapperdress

eDressMe

Fringes are everywhere this summer, from flirty and feminine to straight-out showgirl-like! As out-there as this style seems, though, it can be found in a way that embraces the trend and is actually quite wearable.

For example, check out this Fuschia Flapper Dress by eDressMe New York.

Shown here in my favorite color (but available in shades of blue and yellow), it is very much a modern take on the 1920’s flapper style, but the fringe has more of a now-hang, and is mini in a way that would have been scandalous last century!

I think a style as vibrant as the flapper dress demands understated accessories. Pair with classic black heels and a subtle clutch, and you are ready to party!
