Forever Fridays: Old Timey School Marm Edition

Oh Lawd.  Forever 21 apparently found a wormhole directly into the closet of my fourth grade teacher Mrs. Overton circa 1990.  Great. Now I am having the sudden urge to demonstrate my prowess at timed multiplication tables.

Does this float your boat?

Pop Music As Spoken Word Poetry: Gucci Gucci by Kreayshawn

So let me start this by saying, mad props to Kreayshawn for her creative use of phonetics with her name and all.  I am really addicted to this song in the I'll be over it in less than a month kinda way.  But I really do wish that William Shatner or some other dignified old gent would record a spoken word version of this song.  It would be truly magical.

And we stunting like
Gucci Gucci, Louis Louis, Fendi Fendi, Prada
Basic bitches wear that shit so I don't even bother

Gucci Gucci, Louis Louis, Fendi Fendi, Prada
The basic bitches wear that shit, so I don't even bother
I put that on my partner, I put that on my family
Oakland city representer, address me as your majesty
Yeah you can kiss the ring, but you can never touch the crown
I smoke a million Swisher blunts and I ain't never coming down

Bitch you ain't no Barbie I see you work at Arby's
Number 2, super-sized Hurry up I'm starving
Gnarly, radical, on the block I'm magical
See me at your college campus baggie full of Adderalls
Call me if you need a fix, call me if you need a boost
See them other chicken heads? They don't never leave the coop
 
I'm in the coupe cruising, I got the stolen plates
Serving all the fiends over there by the Golden Gate
Bridge, I'm colder than the fridge and the freezer
I'm snatching all your bitches at my leisure


And we stunting like
Gucci Gucci, Louis Louis, Fendi Fendi, Prada
Basic bitches wear that shit so I don't even bother

Gucci Gucci, Louis Louis, Fendi Fendi, Prada
I'm lookin like Madonna but I'm flossing like Ivana
Trump, you know I keep that work in my trunk
Got my hand on the pump if you wanna press your luck
I'm yelling "Free V-Nasty" 'til my throat is raspy

Young, rich and flashy I be where the cash be
You can't find that? I think you need a Google Map
My pearl-handled kitty-cat will leave and press your noodle back

Now Google that groupies follow me like Twitter
I'm rolling up my catnip and shitting in your litter
Why you looking bitter? I be looking better
The type of bitch that make you wish that you ain't never met her
The editor, director plus I'm my own boss
So posh, nails fierce with the gold gloss
Which means nobody getting over me
I got the swag and it's pumping out my ovaries

And we stunting like
Gucci Gucci, Louis Louis, Fendi Fendi, Prada
Basic bitches wear that shit so I don't even bother
 
Oh, all you basic ass hoes out there
Man I got rooms full of bad bitches
They don't need Gucci, they don't need Louis
We swagging, ehh, meow

Sadly, I Will Not See The Old Timey Boardwalk Empire Subway Car on My Trip.

Argh!  Instead of just buying subway ads for Boardwalk Empire, HBO is turning a subway car into an old timey subway car!  And I will just barely miss this nonsense when I make my triumphant return to NYC this week. The 1917 car will be running on the 2/3 track Saturdays and Sundays in September from noon to 6pm.  So hop on it New Yorkers and send me a pic.

In other news, yay Boardwalk Empire is coming back!

Forever Fridays: I Probably Should Not Like These as Much as I do...

So I should probably preface every post about Forever 21 by saying "I probably should not like this as much as I do" since all they sell is disposable crap clothes for teens and tweens, and I am neither a teen nor a tween.  Whatever.  I don't let that stop me.  Anyhow, I look at these camel colored corduroy shorts and all I can think is "sure why not."  They are kinda cute.  I am a sucker for camel color anything this time of year. 

check it.

So this is kind of exciting.

You will soon be able to shop online at Zara.  This is great for people who live in the boonies (aka not NYC).  The fun starts September 7, 2011.  Mark your calendars!

Oh Federal Government, You're So Silly: Street Sign Capitalization

Sooo this seems like a huge waste of tax dollars.  The Federal Government just passed a new law requiring all street signs in America to follow standard rules of capitalization by 2018.  

This seems really stupid since almost all street signs I have ever seen anywhere are all caps.  In most contexts, caps lock is stupid.  However for some things, like titles to legal documents and, well, street signs, using all caps is totally reasonable.

via NY Mag

So This Is Probably A Good Idea.

The CFDA (or Council of Fashion Designers of America for you muggles) just introduced a guideline for New York Fashion Week recommending that models produce ID proving they are at least 16 before hopping on the runway.  Now first of all, whatever, I am sure plenty of girls will just get fakes.  It is really hard to stop a teenage girl from getting what she wants, especially if all it takes is a convincing fake ID.  But at least they will have to put forth some effort and really contribute to their "unsettling glamorization" as Huffington Post puts it.

Thylane Loubry Blondeau

Now a few weeks back, a friend forwarded me this pic of Thylane Loubry Blondeau that was making the rounds, and suggested that I comment on the whole sitch.  My response was "eh, it's really a gorgeous picture.  I don't really have a problem with it."  Yeah yeah, I am a monster, I know.  

So why do I now think that carding teens to get on the runway sounds like a reasonable idea when I wasn't too bothered by these Lolita pics?  First of all, a photo shoot can be a controlled, parentally guided, non-public situation.  Yeah maybe they are crap parents, maybe they aren't there at all, but hopefully they are.  Second, if there is a tiny bee sting nip slip, it's not exposed to the masses, just to one pervo old photographer.  Third, it's art, albiet art that walks a close line to the inappropriate, but a lot of good art does that.  This pic of Miss Thylane is as much a commentary about the glamorization of babes as much as it just plain glamorization.  So maybe those aren't good excuses.  Who am I to say?

Trends I Love But Can't Seem to Find a Use For In My Life: Leather Mini

So I love leather.  Sorry vegans and animal rights activists.  It smells nice.  It looks nice.  It can be rock and roll or bohemian.  It's awesome.  That is probably why I like this cute little leather mini by Joie.  I think it is totally adorable for the fall.  Maybe with tights or something.  The cognac color is beautiful.  It's short  and kicky without being obscene.  But I have really no use in my life for this trend.  Don't get me wrong, I totally wish I did.  Maybe it's because I live in Orange County and the temp usually stays in the 70's and 80's through the fall.  But I really can't think of a single appropriate place or time where I, personally, would wear this skirt (except maybe as part of my sexy Khaleesi costume).  Maybe the black version of this skirt would be more versatile because it's a little more "going out" looking.

Trends I Cannot Get Behind: Maxi Skirts

Ugh.  Come on people.  Maxi skirts like this Ella Moss monstrosity at ShopBop might be comfortable, but they are not figure flattering on any soul who inhabits this planet.  I am pretty sure they are less flattering than sweat pants.  So unless you are some sort of religious fundamentalist or having a Reality Bites themed party, let's just go ahead and let this one pass quietly in the night.

Really?

craftables!

how cute is this little piece of art from amazeblog (I just made that up) Whatever: 

All you need is a box of crayons, a canvas and a hairdryer.

I am in love! and ready to get crafting!

Forever Friday: Chocolate Lovin

So I have this problem.  Sometimes weird crap speaks to me for no apparent reason.  Like this chocolate metallic mesh nonsense.  I feel like the chocolateyness kinda tones down the hoochiness.  Or maybe I am just imagining that.  Whatever, it's only $22.80.

Buy it!

Get Your School Spirit On.

Aw. Nostalgia.  Also it looks super soft.  And it's $12 at Target, cheaper than anything you can find in the bookstore.

(they have a Harvard tee too if you are into that sort of thing - but you can also find that at Forever 21)

Buy it.

Hello, Sweetness.

I like this top because:

1. It's feminine and pink without being too twee or silly;
2. There is some weird boob jungle gym thing going on, but it doesn't bother me; and
3.  It would look equally cute with a dark pair of skinnies or tucked into a pencil skirt for work.


Bellini Breakfast Top at Modcloth.

Hold Me Closer, Tiny Dancer

I love ballerina wrap sweaters like this.  I also love these waxed denim pants. I love them together, provided you are fit enough to pull off wearing skinny ass pants with a top that does not cover your hips and upper thighs.  It's a pretty and romantic look for fall that isn't sickly sweet.  I also love that this whole outfit is under $60 at H&M.

Here it is.

Under $20 Alert! Mod and Navy

Get thee to your local H&M!  This adorable little dress is only $19.95!  I totally own a nearly identical Theory dress, which was sadly about 10 times the price of this dress.  It is definitely not 10 times more awesome.  I am kinda peeved about that now.

Receipe Review: The Best Broccoli of Your Life.

So this recipe I found on the Amateur Gourmet for Roasted Broccoli claims to be the "Best Broccoli of Your Life."  Yeah, it was pretty damn good.  It is simple and fast too.  Just cut up some broccoli, toss with a little olive oil and coarse salt and throw on some sliced garlic.  It cooks in about 20 minutes.  There are some optional ingredients (like cheese), most of which I left out of mine.

Very good? Yes.  Was it the best broccoli of my life?  I am not sure about that.  Maybe if I added cheese...

Pregame Fall With a New Pair of Boots

I know Steve Madden shoes are basically for teenagers.  I know I am not a teenager.  That is beside the point.  Two years ago I bought essentially these boots (the 2 years ago version) and they are still amazing (though slightly caked with mud because of my work conditions).  So amazing, that I am thinking about getting a second pair.  Especially since they are on sale for $95.40.  The cognac color is gorgeous and the quality is surprisingly nice, especially for this price.

Buy 'em!

Rainbow Push Cakes

This is a few days old, but I kept thinking about how stinking cute it is, so I had to post it!

These push cakes from Simply Creative Insanity are so stinkin' cute and surprisingly easy.  Just box cake mix, food color and frosting, plus these cute little containers sold on Etsy.

Check out the how-to!

Forever Fridays: Lace Sweatshirt, Sure Why Not

I don't know why, but for some reason this speaks to me.  I am not sure what it's saying.  Maybe: "Damn, you crazy girl.  I am a lace sweatshirt!"  But for some reason, I just think it's kinda cute.

Shit I Love: MAC Mineralize

Mineralize Foundation

So on account of el crazypants diet I just finished up, I have discovered a few awesome things as of late.  First and foremost: MAC Mineralize line.  Because of the way the HCG diet works, you aren't allowed to use any beauty products or cosmetics that have oils or fats in them (except mineral oil).  At this stage in life (mostly because I get to work at 6AM), I don't wear a ton of makeup.  But (also mostly because I get to work at 6AM) I do rely on concealer.  Usually, I just swipe on a little concealer, bronzer and mascara and I am good (enough) to go.  So since most concealers and foundations are made with fats and oils, I was gonna have to do without.  

Luckily, one of my ladyfriends is way more into makeup than I am and alerted me to the fact that MAC now has a mineral line.  Sweet! Time for a trip to the mall.  So after trying basically all of the items in the mineralize line, and scrutinizing the ingredients lists to the best of my ability, I settle on a foundation, a dark shadow to use as an eyeliner, a shadow duo, and a bronzer.  Whoops I guess I went a little overboard.  So I used to use MAC's foundation  and pressed powder all the time back in the day because I loved the coverage and whatnot.  But as of late, I just phased foundation and powder out of my life.  The mineralize foundation is nice for gals who aren't really "foundation" gals because its a little lighter than MAC's other foundations.  It has SPF 15 and goes on really smooth and light.  The coverage is pretty without looking too made up.  Nice.

Smoked Ruby

So I also got the Smoked Ruby shadow to use as an eyeliner.  It's a mish mosh of metallic dark red and black, but mostly black.  It makes a gorgeous almost black liner when applied wet, and also makes a pretty awesome smokey shade when applied dry if you're into that thing.  The other stuff I got was great, but these two were my favorites of all of my mineralize booty.

Shit I Love: Eyelash Extensions.

So there is this place by work.  It is not a fancy place.  It is definitely not in a fancy area.  But it is pretty fabulous in my book.  That place is KT Nails.  About a month ago when I started on the HCG diet to lose the love pounds I picked up living with Boyfriend, I had to make a few life changes.  Because of the way the HCG diet works, you aren't allowed to use any beauty products or cosmetics that have oils or fats in them (except mineral oil).  Now, I don't wear a ton of makeup on a regular basis, but there is one thing I couldn't live with out.  Mascara.  I have kinda puny eyelashes that are lighter on the tips so I feel kinda naked without mascara.  Vanity, thy name is Sisyphus.  

 

So the thought of going a month without mascara or other makeup seemed pretty problematic.  It's bad enough I was feeling chubby and frumpy on account of the extra pounds.  

In walks KT Nails (found via yelp).  They offer lashes ranging from $17-$80 for a full set.  The $17 ones are big clumps of lashes that they put on and kinda look like halloween or a drag show.  The $80 ones are the individual lashes that are applied 1 by 1.  The $40 ones are little clumps of 3 lashes each, but they don't wing out side to side like the $17 version.  I picked the $40 ones, figuring if they looked too cheap, I would maybe switch up to the $80 ones.  To my surprise, they look totally awesome.  To me, they look just like the ones that are applied 1 by 1, just half the price.  They are gloriously long and flirty, but they are not full drag show lashes.  Also, touch ups are only $8-$12 depending on how many lashes you lost in between visits.  After about 3 weeks, I needed $10 worth of touch up work.  I think they are worth the price just for the time saved on not having to put on or take off mascara every day.  Plus they are way better looking than my natural lashes with mascara.

KT Nails is located at 506 W. Chapman, Placentia, CA 92870.  (714) 854-9084.  Walk ins are totally welcome.

Britney's Backstage Beauty Secrets (Surprisingly No Mention of McDonalds, Cigarettes or Starbucks)

So over at Allure they just posted an article about Britney Spears' backstage "beauty secrets."  Naturally, I clicked on the link to see what they could possibly have to say. I am drawn to Britney news much like I am drawn to pics of 3 legged chihuahua puppies.  They are both cute, but sad and kinda fucked up and make me ask God: "If you are out there, why did you let this happen?"

Anyhow, the article was pretty boring and didn't say anything notable except that they use men's concealer on her. MEN'S CONCEALER!  First things first.  Men's concealer exists.  Ok, fine, its 2011 and everyone probably could use a little concealer on their wedding day, so I get it.  Second. Why does Britney need men's concealer?  5 o'clock shadow? Razor burn?  I understand that you need to use much stronger makeup for the stage than real life, but it seems weird to me that there were no female concealers strong enough for La Brit. 

Someone should probably alert ProActiv.

There is no K in Collection

God save us all.  The Kardashians have launched their "Kollection" at Sears.  The good news is I don't go into Sears very often, except when pricing electronics or appliances (yeah, yeah, I admitted I occasionally venture into Sears - gotta love the 'burbs).  Anyhow, so before I looked at said Kollection, I was thinking to myself "Self, maybe if the Kardashians didn't insist on replacing all of the C's in the world with K's I wouldn't dislike them so much."  

Horrid Kjumper

Horrid Kpants

Then I looked at the Kollection.  And I remembered why I dislike them.  Overpriced Trash.  How fitting.  If you have been to this site before, you know that I have no problem with discount retailers like  H&M and Forever 21 (ok, some problems).  I think there is a very real need in the marketplace for what  I call Disposable Closables.  Fashion for the People.  The slutty drunk people mostly, but still people.

But the difference between F21 and H&M and the Kardashian Kollection is... well there are two main differences that strike me.  1.  At least I can find some acceptable items at F21 and H&M.  2. The price points!  I want to know what Sears shopper is prepared to drop 99 bones on a tacky jumper or a tacky pair of sequined trashbag pants.  I have spent way more than $99 on a pair of pants or an outfit before, but gosh, I at least felt like I was getting something for my money.  Perhaps they were inspried by the words of the fabulous Ms. Dolly Parton, "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap."

On the bright side, if they keep throwing K's in front of everything, it makes it easier to discern what shit to stay away from.

Recipe: Skinny Minnie Strawberry Sorbet

So, as you may know, I have been on a little bit of a diet lately.  Today is my first day of maintenance,and altogether I think the diet has been really successful.  As of today, I have lost 17.5 pounds in just under a month.  I am not totally in the clear though.  I still have 3 weeks of maintenance with no carbs or sugar (though most fruit is allowed- hooray!) to make sure that I stabilize at this weight (+/- 2 pounds).

But anyways, back to the point of this post.  Maintenance means I can start adding back in a wider variety of food.*  Which means fun, skinny minnie recipes, like this super easy and delicious strawberry sorbet.**  Easy is an understatement - it   doesn't even begin to describe how easy this is.  

Ingredients:

7 medium strawberries
1/2 lemon
2-3 drops of Vanilla Creme Liquid Stevia***

Directions:

1. Remove stem from strawberries (duh), and cut in quarters (not really necessary, but it speeds things up).

2. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 of a lemon directly into knock off magic bullet blender (watch out for seeds!)

3. Add Strawberries and Stevia to taste

4. Blend

5. Freeze

Because this makes a perfect single serving portion, it freezes super fast (yay for Ziploc mini containers, this one was the perfect size!).  Mine set to the perfect amount of freeziness while I took a long bath.  The end  product was just the perfect amount of sweet and tart.  I can't wait to try it with other seasonal fruits.

*Note:  This recipe is actually allowed in Phase 2 and Phase 3 (Maintenance) of the diet.

**Note: Fat is allowed in moderation during maintenance, so some of my recipes will have fat, just not carbs or added sugar.

***Per the HCG diet, liquid stevia is the only sweetener allowed.  If you are not following the HCG diet, you can throw in a little splenda, or if you are feeling really crazy, a little bit of real sugar.

Oh Holy Crap! Missoni for Target Update!

Update: Missoni for Target arrives in stores and online September 13!

Now that I am able to form full sentences regarding the matter, let me tell you, I am pretty damn stoked about this.  I think this looks like it might end up being one of the better Target collaborations.

See the whole lookbook over at Fashionista.

Fall Tall Tales

Yay for Old Navy carrying cute fall tops in tall sizes.  There is nothing worse than finding a top that would be soooo cute, if only it were a little longer.  However.  Boo to Old Navy for not carrying these tees in a size tall small. (Especially because their sizes run big)

Buy it here.

The Other Middleton Girl

If La Duchess Kate's dress is not your cup of tea, or if you want to look like a linebacker, ABS has also knocked off Pippa's dress.

Available in black or white.

Royal Princess.

So I probably find this hilarious in part because I was not a fan of La Duchess Kate's wedding dress.  But I just find it that much more hilarious since the style is called "Royal Princess" so there is no confusion.  I am just imagining the look on my face if I was a guest at a wedding and the bride busted out in this cheeseball copy.

I am not sure if it's meant to be an inexpensive ($1,110) wedding dress or an expensive halloween costume. 

interested??

Forever Fridays: Knock Off Edition

It's a little unfair to call this edition of Forever Fridays the knock off edition since I am pretty sure that everything that is sold at Forever 21 is a knock off of something somewhere.  Sometimes their knock offs are blatant and obvious copies of garments made by real designers, and sometimes their knock offs are just made in the spirit of a designer.  Like for instance this wannabe Missoni bodycon dress.  Other than Missoni's upcoming line for Target I don't think there is very much cross over between gals who buy Missoni and gals who shop at Forever.  So naturally this doesn't bother me too much.  Maybe I have a  shaky moral compass when it comes to wearable intellectual property.  Who knows.  Maybe I just love Forever and want them to succeed.  Also, who knows.

Regardless, this dress is kinda cute for under $23.  Though lord knows where you are gonna wear it...

Diet Tales: Day 22. The Final Stretch!

Day: 22, Wednesday August 10, 2011; 20th VLC Day

Daily Weight Change: -1 lb

Total Weight Change: -14 lbs

I am almost done with the minimum number of VLC days! And still losing!  Per the protocol, you have to commit at least 21 days without cheating in order to fully "reset" your hypothalamus.  Then you have 3 days of VLC while not taking the drops in order to get the HCG out of your system.  I am so pumped up by the fact that I am still losing, that I think I just might have it in me to push it a few days further to try to get a little closer to my goal of 19 lbs.  

I am so motivated that I stopped by Sprouts (double ad Wednesday!! woohoo!) and picked up some (gasp!) grapefruit.  I really want to stay on a roll with these losses, and yourhcg.com suggests that having grapefruit as your fruit is a good way to pump up the losses.  Until now, I have avoided that shit like the plague.  My general stance on grapefruit is that whoever decided that it was edible was smoking some sort of crack or something.  But, like I said, I am motivated.  I want to get to that damn goal, and I don't want to stay on VLC forever.  To my surprise, the grapefruit was actually not too bad.  I didn't put stevia or any type of sweetener on it.  Just ate it plain.  I think this diet is screwing with my taste buds.  But it was totally fine.  Not super awesome or delicious, but fine.  I also had a nice piece of cod.  I had been on a chicken and shrimp kick lately and it's been a while since I did up some cod, so that was a nice change.  I had a pretty serious water day of 153 ounces.  Sheesh.

I'm Just Sayin...

At what age does it become inappropriate to pose nude with your mom.  I am gonna go with 6-9 months.

Kate Moss is gonna go with 8 1/2 years.  Kate is beautiful, but this is awkward to me.

eh...

Men's Corner: Suiting at F21?!

So Apparently 21Mens now sells suiting.  21Mens as in Forever 21.  What could go wrong?  

First of all, they are sized S M and L.  I have long been jealous of menswear because of their more detailed sizing.  As a tall gal, I have often wished that I had more options that allowed me to buy suit separates in a way that takes into consideration my inseam and waist.  But alas, it's not meant to be.  I like skirts better anyway.

Second of all, they are sold by F21.  Come on people.  F21 is great for disposable party outfits, but suits?!  Probably not a smart idea.

But then again, maybe these suits would work out for a young high school fellow going to his first dance or fancy job interview.  Though all of the pics on the F21 website just remind me of douchey club doormen.  So maybe that's their key demographic.  

Who knows.

Oh Holy Crap! (Missoni for Target)

Hold on to your panties.  Next Month.  Missoni for Target.  Can't.  Complete. Sentences.

From Racked

See more!!!

Ew. Just Ew.

It must be wtf-Tuesday today.  Look at these weird ass shoes.

According to Zappos, these are "ideal for a wide range of activities including running, barefoot training, treadmill workouts, walking, water sports, dance, yoga and casual wear."  What's that you say? Casual wear.... Interesting.  I am trying to imagine what the look on my face would be if I ever encountered someone on the street casually wearing these shoes.  I think there would be a lot of eyebrow action involved.

I also am having a lot of trouble wrapping my head around the whole barefoot running thing.  Maybe it's me, but I need a serious amount of bounce in my running shoes and I really start to notice a difference  in my feet and joints as my running shoes get older and lose their bounce.  Maybe I am just genetically inferior or not naturally suited to running.  That would explain quite a lot.

Arnold is a Piece of Shit

Literally.  He is a piece of shit.  TMZ reports that he has been wearing this tacky ass shirt made by Maria's staff as a joke.  This idiot was our governor!!!

Now, for the record, I must admit that I sometimes have the tendency to think that when a man is cheating, there is probably some room to share the blame with his main lady.  I.e. she is probably a frigid bitch.  Sorry Hillary, but I am talking about you here.  And maybe Maria was a frigid bitch and that's why Arnold strayed.  But regardless, I think that Arnold's decision to wear this shirt in public, modified to say 1977-2010, the span of their relationship, is just too tacky for words.  

Also he needs to be called out on wearing those bike shorts.  You are a grown ass man.  No bike shorts unless your ass is connected to a bike seat!

Also, Arnold, you have fat saggy knees.  Eff You!

Dear God ShopBop; Lady Business Part II

Ok, so I love a bow as much as any other gal.  Maybe more.  And maybe (definitely) I am a pervo, but my dear ShopBop, this has got to stop:

 

My first problem is that this "bow" looks like lady parts.  My second problem with these pantos cortos is that I can't imagine that a fabric F.U.P.A. is flattering on any gal, no matter how skinny minnie she may be. My third  and final problem with these shorts is that, if I can manage to put the pervo side of my brain to rest for a little while, this uh... adornment just looks more like fancy curtains than a bow.  Like a little valance for your crotch.  Now, in the year 2011, valances aren't even in style in houses let alone crotches (unless you live in a fabulous palace, then you should totally go for it).

Oh one more final final complaint about these shorts: they are $246.00 U.S. Dollars.  Seriously.  I am officially of the opinion that short pants should never cost more then $240.  There has to be a line somewhere.

Sometimes I wonder if the gals over at ShopBop are laughing as much as I  am at some of the ridiculous shit they sell.  Where do they expect a gal to where these shorts?  A night on the town? The office?  The beach?  All of those seem like pretty bad choices to me.

Lady Business

So I was just thinking.  What I really need for the fall is a top that is cute and comfy and pink...

... and has a giant lady part on the back.

Oh, cool.  I found just the thing. I actually like the drapeyness at the back of the neck and the button detail.  It's too bad they don't offer this top without a coochie tail.


really, shopbop?

Baby Got Back

I have no recollection about this, but at some point, I asked ModCloth to let me know when this pretty little dress was back in stock:

Yeah, that sounds like something I would do.  I am such a sucker for a beautiful exposed back. What a nice surprise!

Buy it while it lasts!
