Dear Preen Printed Dress: Why Do You Cost $1,195?

($1,195, Preen, BlueandCream.com)
Frowny fashion face. Pretty, pretty, pretty Preen dress. You're so out of my reach with your perfectly wide straps and fun layers and great graphic prints. Sigh. Here are some kinda-sorta black-and-white print dress lookalikes:

12th Street By Cynthia Vincent's Very Mad Men-esque Didi Pump, Now On Super Sale!

I have the serious howling fantods over Cynthia Vincent's Didi floral fabric pumps. Betty Draper (or someone Don Draper would sleep with on the side) would SO wear these. Here, look, won't you?

($117, 12th Street By Cynthia Vincent, Chickdowntown.com)
It's like Cynthia Vincent took a nap inside my mind, read my dreams, woke up and designed the PERFECT PUMP, just for ME.


($100, 12th Street By Cynthia Vincent, Blue And Cream)
Seriously, these are just $100. I need a second to get my mind around that...

... Okay. I'm back.
($108, 12th Street By Cynthia Vincent, Endless.com)
These aren't as me, but I like the Gwen Stefani/ Alexander McQueen-iness of the plaid. (BTW, did you know that Alexander McQueen is only 39? What am I DOING with my life?)

Also, these Hale Bob floral pumps are so wrong they're almost right:

Temperley London Sale At Blue & Cream!

After a tastacular brunch with Beauty Blogging Junkie's Amber and Eye4Style's Dina, I stopped into one of my favorite boutiques -- Blue & Cream.

People, get there now because they're having a fantastic sale on some fantastic Temperley London pieces. By fantastic, I'm meaning 50% off, and I'm also meaning the Tempest Tunic in black. My apologies because I CANNOT find a shot of it in black, but you get the idea -- it's a beautiful knit tunic embellished with metallic threading and STUDS, and you KNOW how I feel about studs. It's phenoms:



And Blue & Cream's got both the black and the white Tempest tunic for around $500 or so. (Or get it at MyTheresa.com.) Seriously. I desperately want it to wear this to my rehearsal dinner, even though we don't even have a wedding date set yet, but we're assuming it'll be in the winter, so one could also assume the rehearsal will be in the winter too, right? Totally thinking ahead... And I will SO need a nice warm dress!

Or... I could just go back, get it, (I LOVE a great deal), and wear it to fashion week NOW and pat myself on the well-dressed back for getting another wear out of it. Or you could go buy it and I could live vicariously through you. Anyway, point is, Blue & Cream = amazing sale right now, I <3 Blue & Cream and Temperely London.
