BCBG Pleated-Organza Bustier Dress

Very few companies still have holiday parties in this economy. My company isn't having a party this year, but our team is heading to Vegas for a grand conference with a Gala at the end to boot!  So I started looking for a dress for the Gala today and I came across this stunner. The pleated petal bodice, understated jeweled belt and layers of organza florals make this a shoo-in for any girlie girl.

Unfortunately, even with BCBG's Friends & Family 30% off, it's still a bit out of my reach.

Create beautifully feminine style with this flourishing dress that combines timeless design with textured finishes. Wear it with a satin heel and decorative cocktail rings to complete the gorgeous look.

• Strapless. Sweetheart neckline. Pleated silk organza at bodice. Tiers of pleated organza all over skirt.
• Pleated organza forms floral-shaped embellishments at skirt. Boning at bodice. Elastic belt with hook-and-bar closure at waist. Center back zipper with hook-and-eye closure. Removable bra straps included.

How about you?  Do you have a holiday party coming up and what will you be wearing?

Spring Fever

I've been obsessed with florals lately.  I've already replaced my monochromatic bedding with a floral bedding; and now I'm on the hunt for the perfect flirty floral dress for summer.

Romancing this dress from Diane von Furstenberg Perfect for a Mediterranean getaway... on a yacht. 

May settle on this more affordable alternative from Victoria Secret.

Liberty of London

I am absolutely in love with the delightful floral collection by Liberty of London for Target!

The hundred year-old British brand is known for their floral prints and hits Target stores this Sunday. I am pining over their home collection - guess what I'll be up to tomorrow?

Saving for a raining day?  Brighten up your savings with these sunny piggie banks:

 

Everything is bound to turn out sweet in these deliciously good looking bowls and mugs - yum!

 

I adore these pillows, but unfortunately, they're sold out online (fingers crossed not in stores?). 
Front and back of pillow - just exquisite!

 

Along the lines of floral bedding...

 

Finally, watering cans and gloves to help you stay inspired and motivated when nurturing your own spring greens!

 

Bed of Flowers

 Lately, I've become fixated on the idea of Spring.  Spring is an awakening and feeling renewed and re-inspired.  It also means colors and I've become so taken with the anticipation of Spring, that I wanted to get a comforting dose through floral beddings.

I love these monochromatic sets.  Adore the subtle peonies in coral and the sunny outlook of yellow.

The coral set can be found on Macy's.
I stumbled upon the yellow bedding from Potterybarn.

For a more modern (and colorful) look:

Though not the best photo, I'm tempted by the Ikea collection; it's a great price point for trialing something a little more bold!
