how to style a sequin dress: daytime dressy

Bunnie — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 17:59:35 +0000

I have this perception that sequins are meant for evenings. It’s never crossed my mind to wear sequins during the day… let alone a full sequin dress. But apparently, it can be done! I paired the sequin dress with a long sleeve lace top to downplay the sparkle and add a touch of romance. Since the dress is already so busy and textured, I kept the rest of the outfit subtle with neutrals pieces. This would be such a cute outfit to wear to brunch with the girls!

What’s the verdict? How would you style a sequin dress for daytime wear?

Bunnie in a Kitty Candyland

Bunnie — Mon, 31 May 2010 18:04:46 +0000

Last week, the Kitty Card had its official launch party at the Refinery. With nothing but the perfect girl’s night in mind, the night was transformed into a candy wonderland filled with sweet treats, cupcakes, cotton candy, decadent chocolates, savory canapes and of course, cute kitties.

If you’re a girl who loves the glamor and glitz, then Kitty Card events are not to be missed! And of course, you can’t show up to an event like this without some kind of girly and stylish outfit! Anybunny else ever find it extremely difficult to put together an outfit for a special event? I spent a good hour just trying on clothes in my closet.

See you next time?

It’s been a while since I’ve felt completely girly… and what better way to satisfy that urge than dressing up in peach lace and bubble skirts? Okay, I threw some black in there too for accent and edge. But really, who can say no to patent pumps, satin bows and Marc by Marc?

I love brand names, but I refuse to neglect pieces because they don’t read designer all over them. Satin belt? Craft store. Patent Pumps? Yes, they’re from Urban Behavior. I’m an advocate for style and that includes wearing things because they look good, and not because they’ve got a name plastered all over them.

You won’t believe how many times I’ve seen this — Christian Dior sunnies, D&G tank top, Gucci belt, Crystal studded Rock & Republic jeans, Louis Vuitton speedy, and Coach sandals. Sweetheart, you’re trying too hard. You may look rich, but everyone knows you’re not. Not to mention you have no style. You’re just tacky. Breaks my heart every time.

I’d wear sweats but the paparazzi might find me

I love layering… especially the type where you simply throw on a bunch of things and it just works out. The Zara vest was also a great investment — you can dress it up {as seen here} or dress it down for an everyday look. Versatility is definitely one of my favorite things to look for in clothing! It’s wonderful what accessories and shoes can do for an outfit!

BTW, the strap is my laptop bag. Was on the way out to do some studying!

Another vacation to Los Angeles has ended… and I’m back in Vancouver where the air is clear and crisp. Ahhh!

I’m super tired from this trip – cramming in all the shopping and activities there are to do in LA over the span of a few days keeps you going, and going and going. Like the energizer bunny. It’s true – we all need a vacation after a vacation!

I’m alive!

The Olympic fever caused me to have an actual fever… or more like germ poisoning. How, you ask?? Well, me (& witnesses) think it’s from eating homemade chili… with a small strand of green dish sponge in it!! As you can see from the link, a dish sponge is one of the dirtiest pieces in the kitchen. My chili was accidentally contaminated by it. Gross. And then I had to poop. A lot. And then I had a fever.

All that aside, I felt like crap for 2 days so I thought I’d try to compensate by dolling up.I guess it worked. Thanks to the dish sponge owner for giving me a reason to dress up, a topic to blog about, allowing me to miss work and helping me lose 3 lbs. No hard feelings. :)

Louis Vuitton takes out the trash

Bunnie — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 21:16:08 +0000

In 2010, taking out the trash is no longer be a chore…

Because the Louis Vuitton Raindrop Besace “trash” bag from their Spring 2010 collection will help you do it in style! You can even remove the straps… if you want to really look like you’re taking out the trash. Just don’t end up throwing it away.

I’m curious to know what inspired this idea. Oh, yeah, I was bored at home so I decided to ‘design’ a garbage bag that costs $2000.Yes, it’s new, its different. And maybe even a bit creative. But seriously… WTF! Maybe they’re trying to fit in with the ‘go green’ trend. Or maybe they’re paving the way for their new zip-lock wallets. Whatever it is, it’s ironic – designer meets garbage. Genius!

Would I wear this? Sureee…. why not. I’ll take the brown one please. I don’t think I can do authentic green trash bag. By the way, I said I’ll take. Not buy. My greens are staying in the bank for this one.

Hey here’s a bright idea! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Why not get your girlfriend one? Tell them Bunnie suggested it. { I’m kidding. Please don’t. I don’t want to end up in the trash. Aha! } Don’t feel like paying $2000? No problem! You can simply DIY this look with a garbage bag and a strap. After all, handmade gifts are the most sentimental right??

What do you

think?

Yup. It’s a no for me.
