This is the bag that every girl should have, and no girl should be without.

The reason why I love this bag so much is that it’s perfect for any regular day, all day long.

use it for work. Throw it in – your high heels, your umbrella, that extra sweater for the office, your lunch, your folder. Just name it, it fits.

use it for the gym. My iPod. My water bottle. My towel. My pull over. My hairspray. My after gym shoes and a fresh change of clothes.

use it when shopping. This bag rocks when you’re shopping. Hot? Throw your blazer inside. Thirsty? Take out your bottle of water. Shopping against your boyfriend’s wishes? Hide it in the bag! And, it’s a great way to say no to plastic bags, if you’re into that.

use it just because . I like it fashionable, but subtle. I hate it when you look like you’re trying too hard. Occasionally I like to play dress up, but most of the time, I’m a jeans and sweat top kinda gal. And I love big bags. Because, what kind of girl can fit all her shit in a teeny weeny bags anyway?

If you’re following on Twitter, you’ll probably notice that I’m using this bag 90% of the time in my OFTD posts (as per above). This bag comes in many sizes, but this one’s just right. There’s a small pocket inside, but I admit, sometimes you might have trouble finding what you’re looking for.

Longchamps. Le Pliage. It’s not glamorous. It’s not flashy. But that’s what I love about it.

Don’t be a chump.

XO,

Bedo $40 | Urban Behavior $30 | Urban Planet $1 | Talula $90

for less than $100.

The classic little black dress has become more and more stylish with time and in this ever-changing fashion world, a girl can’t ever have just one. So why do it? We don’t.

Nor do we spend a fortune on our LBDs, as I’m sure you can tell. Don’t get me wrong, I’d kill for a dress by Vivienne Westwood (and then I’d have to kill myself for going bankrupt) but one dress is never enough and I can hardly justify spending thousands of dollars on hundreds of dresses….. just yet.  So till then, there’s nothing I love more than finding fabulous pieces at fabulous prices.

The Bedo bandage dress was a major steal (regular price: $120) and the Urban Planet one sleeve was part of a buy one, get the second for $1 deal (yes, you could say it’s a lame store but how could you resist?).

Anyway, go ahead and laugh. I’m wearing a $1 dress. But I feel like a million bucks. What about you?

XO,

1. MISS SELFRIDGE | Light Denim Corset Bra Top
2. EUGENIA KIM | Ronson Denim Fedora
3. MULBERRY | Party Bow Dress
4. MAJE | Saxo Puff-Sleeve Blouse
5. TALULLAH TU | Cuff
6. DIESEL | Turque 64x Denim Jeans
7. ALEXANDER WANG | Quilted Denim-Style Shorts
8. GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI | Denim ankle cuff sandals
9. MIU MIU | Large Denim Tote
10. BOY BY BAND OF OUTSIDERS | Pleated Denim Skirt

Denim is back and showing up everywhere! And I don’t just mean denim jeans.  Tops, shirts, bottoms, shoes, accessories and denim-on-denim are making there way back to stores. Have you gotten a piece of the action yet? One word of caution: careful how you do denim, cause denim CAN be done wrong! But when it’s done right, it’s HAUTE!

So what are you waiting for? Get yo’ jean on!

XO,

{#ONE}: Little Black Dress

There are ten things every girl must have, but only one iconic item that can take first place. Made popular by none other than Coco Chanel in the 1920s, the little black dress is an absolute essential to every woman’s wardrobe. It’s a RULE of fashion. Would you dare to disagree? If you’ve only got one, make sure it’s simple, classy and timeless — definitely worth spending a little more {or a lot more} on. And please, make sure it flatters your figure. You may be wearing a little black dress, but if it don’t look good on you, then you ain’t nothing at all. 

Remember, your little black dress is your blank canvas, your Tabula rasa. It requires to be adorned by you, and in return, demands the attention of the entire room.

Black is the new black.

{#TWO}: Push-Up Bra

How did women ever live without the one of the greatest inventions of the twentieth century?? The push-up bra shapes your figure, supports your goods and creates cleavage where there was none before. I love it, you love it, men love it — it’s a win-win situation. Agreed? I knew you would. However, you may want to be cautious of where you wear your push-up bra… {your muffin top, and your short-shorts too in that case}. I don’t want you strutting across the floor like the office tramp.   

So ladies, use your weapon wisely.

{#THREE}: Fitted Denim Jeans

If you don`t have a pair of fitted denim jeans, I’m going to chase you with a pitchfork and send you to hell. Jeans have been a staple in every woman`s {and man`s} wardrobe since they have become popular in fashion and you can be certain that they are here to stay… forever. Jeans are the most versatile piece of clothing you can own. It’s worth stressing over and pulling your hair out to find a pair that fits you perfectly. Think of it as soul searching.

The ideal pair of jeans will be form fitting and flattering regardless of the brand. Boot-cut or straight leg are great for everyday and if you can`t find one that fits you perfectly, make it fit. Go get it altered, lazy. And PLEASE, check yourself out from the back. No one wants to see your muffin top {or your butt crack for that matter}. It’s one of the top 10 fashion mistakes a girl can make according to this guy. Reminder: We want to attract the guys, not deter them away.

Fit is everything and brand is nothing.

{#FOUR}: Stilettos

We all know stilettos create the illusion of longer and slimmer legs, bless you with instant height, and allow you to graze the floor with small feminine feet, but they are also infamous for creating that sexy strut, perfect posture, prominent tooshie and confident, seductive you. The ultimate shoe: a pair of black stilettos.

Dangerously woman.

What can I say, shoes are one of my obsessions  {I’ll show you one day, I promise}.  But who can blame me? You can’t live without them… and please don’t tell me you disagree with me. You don’t go walking around barefoot now do you?

{#SIX}: Pearls

Whether it’s a pair of earrings, a necklace or a bracelet, pearls have always been the epitome of class and elegance and no woman should be without them. As much as we`ve always kept them in our treasure box for special occasions, it`s time to take them out a little bit more. Substitute pearl earrings for your diamond studs or mix them in with your bracelets and necklaces for a more stylish look, but if you overdo it, it’ll be obvious you’re trying too hard.

When the oysters are away, the pearls come out to play.

{#SEVEN}: Clutch

When you’re planning an evening on the town, your clutch is tagging along –- no questions asked. Although it may not be practical for holding everything you carry in your day bag, the clutch will add style to your outfit and compliment your glamour while leaving your hands free to greet that handsome man. When you’re rockin’ that sexy black dress, pick a clutch that’s crafted with beads, exotic prints, bold colors or finer fabrics.

Clutch you.

{#EIGHT}: Timepiece

You’re thinking, who needs a watch when you’ve got a BlackBerry to tell you what time it is? Wrong. No one uses their watch to tell time, silly. Heck, I can’t even read my watch. Its sole purpose is to serve as another statement piece. There’s a watch out there for every woman that matches her unique personality. If you can, invest in a Swiss-made, high-end watch –- a one-time purchase that lasts a lifetime. No regrets, I promise. And I when I say Swiss-made, I mean it. If you’re going high end, make it from a company that specifically designs watches. Gucci doesn’t measure up sweetheart. They’re made as cheaply as a watch from a $10 mall stand. Don’t make me punish you.

Tick Tock, it’s dress-up time.
