Belle's B-Day Wish List: Part IV

May 28, 2010

Yesterday, we covered dresses that I would want to wear to work.  Today, we’ll be looking at some dresses that are perfect for play.  Oh, and sequins.  We know how I feel about sequins…

FCUK Sequin Dress (Asos, $271)

Pale gold sequins, 3/4 sleeves, mini dress.  Yes, please.

Lela Rose Threaded Sheath (ShopBop, $1,595)

This pretty appliqued dress is perfect for a dinner out with friends.  I’d add a rustic men’s belt and a flat sandal for casual events.  If you want to dress it up, I would add a cuff bracelet and a metallic gladiator platform.

Jenni Kayne Fan Dress (ShopBop, $595)

It is my sincerest hope that Rent the Runway will start carrying Jenni Kayne.  Her styles are modern without being too bold.  Plus, I love yellow.

Milly Printed Chiffon Maxi (Net-a-Porter, $545)

Need something extra special for a casual summer wedding?  A wedding at a vineyard perhaps?  Yes, I think I might be wearing this to Miss M’s wedding.

Tiered Poplin Dress (BCBG, $238 + 30%off)

This is the kind of dress that I would buy to throw on for those unexpected dinners and drink dates.  Not with those shoes though. Yikes.

Antik Batik Walice Gown (Net-a-Porter, $970)

Gorgeous.  Different.  And probably weighs 20 pounds.

This weekend, I got two hours to myself for the first time in months. Really to myself. My child was asleep. My dogs were asleep. Kyle was off playing cards with his friends. My house was clean, and there was nothing else to do but sit in my bed and scroll Instagram. It was glorious. […]

The Counter: The Post-Product Era

When I was in my 20s, I bought every trendy nail polish, eye color, and lip gloss.  Sure, I could only wear them on the weekends, but why not wear emerald green liner?  In my 30s, I became enamored with skincare and took every “must-have” product for a spin.  But in my 40s, my skin […]
