Esther Boutique plus dupes!

2012-03-07T11:38:00.004-05:00

Let me start off real quick by saying this post is not a paid ad by this boutique...hell i wish it was b/c every single piece is absolutely gorgeous!

I came across their website while pinning some super cute outfits on Pinterest. I noticed each outfit had the same model and realized these outfits were pinned off of a website. Esther Boutique is based in Australia so international shipping is $30!!!

The only drawback besides their prices is they do not seem to sell the accessories they use for each of their outfits! :( I am in love with each necklace, earring and belt I've seen. If I could buy the whole website I would haha.

Here are a few super cute outfits that I will try to replicate in the meantime with a few dupes!...sighhh

F21 Blazer
$24.50

LC for Kohls
$42

Colorblock Stripes Top

$17.80

Anyone happen to have any experience ordering off this website?
How were the quality of the pieces? Were they worth the money?

..."Every pretty girl deserves to go to a ball."

2012-02-28T15:31:00.000-05:00

One of the funniest lines from Jim Carrey's 'Yes Man' movie.

But who would've thought I'd get a chance to go to the 47th Annual Petroushka Ball at the Waldorf Astoria in NYC which benefits the Russian Children's Welfare Society.

I had only a month to find a gown and I was on a strict $200 budget. And from my experience...the hard part isn't coming across beautiful gowns..the hard part is sticking to a budget and finding a gown that does NOT go over that said budget.

I had searched everywhere...in every dept and every dress store, during every sale...I eventually moved my search online...and BINGO! I found it! And let me tell you...when you know you KNOW. I had come across a few really pretty gowns but when I saw this one I just KNEW IT. :)

DECODE 1.8 Bow-Waisted Gown
$184 on Sale

Unfortunately, only size 0 is left. :(

As for the accessories, since I went with a black gown I wanted a pop of color. I instantly thought of Angelina Jolie at the 2009 Oscars.

So I was on the hunt for emerald tear drop earrings. I went with RenttheRunway.com and rented these Kenneth Jay Lane Emerald Teardrops for $25! These sell for $100+ !

DUPE IT: Kate Middleton in Diane von Furstenburg Dress

2012-02-16T15:57:00.000-05:00

I will be wearing the Jessica Simpson dupe of this dress to a casual wedding I have tomorrow night.

Outfits of the Month: Merry Xmas & Happy New Year

2011-12-30T00:03:00.003-05:00

Instead of OOTW I had to change it to Outfit of the Month haha. December is always a crazy month due to the holidays but I can't complain. I love getting together with family and I have a huge one. Both my father and mother have 6 brothers and sisters on each side so needless to say I have a lot of aunts, uncles & cousins. It's the best, I would be so bored if I had a small family.

Hope everyone had a good holiday. :)

Products I LOVE: Wrap these up!

2011-12-21T16:58:00.002-05:00

Here are a few little gems that may or may not be on your Xmas list as well. ;)

Urban Decay
Cheek Tint in Quickie

This cheek tint looks super pigmented when it's in the compact, but once you sheer out on the apples of your cheeks it gives you a cute little natural looking glow. LOVE! :) However, when Xmas time rolls around I always have a hard time asking my Mom or a family member for any cosmetics from Urban Decay or NARS b/c the names of the colors are..well what's the word...sexual lol? Makes it super weird so I buy these for myself haha.

MAC
Fast Response Eye Cream

I've always had dark and deep under eye circles for as long as I can remember. However, it doesn't matter what type of concealer I use (cream or liquid) I always have a lot of dryness under my eyes...which doesn't make sense since my skin is oily for the most part. So I decided to pick this up to use under my concealer and we'll see how it goes.

UPDATE 12/23/11: I actually LOVE this product. It's super silky when you apply under the eye and it actually keeps my concealer looking fresh all day long! I was pleasantly suprised! :)

MAC
Fix Plus

This dewy moisturizing spray always helps make my foundation look more natural. I've used it plenty of times in the past along with ALL of the Urban Decay sprays as well as MakeUp For Ever's spray. They've all worked great so no preference to me.

Illamasqua
Nail Varnish in Purity

Can I tell you how LONG I've been looking for THE perfect peachy polish!? Since last spring! And I don't care that we are now officially in Winter b/c I will STILL wear this gorgeous polish haha.

Urban Decay
Lip Stain in Envious

Just a TOUCH of this lip stain and it gives you a gorgeous natural tint to your lips. Think Zooey Deschanel, Lauren Conrad, all of the Pretty Little Liars lol. The pic DOES NOT do it any justice!

Products I'm Loving at the Moment!

2011-12-12T13:58:00.000-05:00

Here are some fantastic products, new & old, that I'm loving at the moment. :)

MAC Creme Cup Lipstick

Amazing Cosmetics Concealer in Medium Golden.

I've used Amazing Cosmetics Concealer in the past & I always come back to it. A little teeny tiny drop goes a LONG way. No joke! The price is worth it!

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Foundation

The MUA at the counter matched me to Buff, but it's just a tad too light for my skintone. Other than that, the formula of the foundation is super light with medium coverage & not too greasy. Love it!

I use for the day-time with or without makeup on top. It has a light citrus-y smell but moisturizing without being too greasy.

It's a nice light lavendar smell for night-time. When I wake up in the AM, my face feels perfectly moisturized meaning not greasy, which was usually a problem with most heavier night-time moisturizers.

2011-11-30T16:14:00.001-05:00

Cyber Monday!

2011-11-28T14:11:00.000-05:00

I'm tempted to take advantage of the Forever21 Free Shipping today! (Use code: CYBERMO)

Forever21 and I are not the best of friends. I find a lot of their items to be super crappy quality and the fit of the item usually depends on the cut. So in addition to that, shopping online = not always so good for me. The closest Forever21 to me is the smallest store you will ever see. It's about the size of any shoe store you'll find in your mall. B/c it's so tiny, it doesn't carry most of the items you see online. I know right!? In addition to that, it's hard to find more than 2 or 3 of the same item. If you do find a duplicate item usually it's only in a size XS or S and don't bother trying to find it online b/c it won't be there!

However, b/c of the free shipping promo, here are some items I MIGHT just pull the trigger on today b/c I've been searching high and low for a few of these babies.

Faux Fur & Cable Knit Vest

$37.80

Perfect to dress up and layer up on a sweater or cardigan.

3/4 Slv Ruched Cuff Blazer

$32.80

I've been on the hunt for a cream blazer b/c the one I've seen at Zara was too pricey for me. We'll see how this fits.

Embellished Skinny Belt

$9.80

I've been searching for a studded belt to add some toughness to my more girly pieces.

----Some items I'll keep in my Wishlist for now----

Silk Sparrow Top

$27.80

Have I mentioned I have a love for anything with this sparrow print on it?

Gets me everytime! Love the color combo.

Loose Knit Raglan Sweater

$19.80

Navy always gets me! Especially when it's sheer!

Black Friday: Aersoles RIDELINE Boots

2011-11-28T11:22:00.000-05:00

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
I always enjoy getting together with my huge family, it's what makes the holidays for me. :)

On Black Friday, my aunts and I took a trip up to the Woodbury Common Outlets in NY. The size of these outlets are amazinggg. Pretty much every high end brand you can think of from Dior to Michael Kors to Tory Burch to 7 For All Mankind. It was my second time up there and boy was it crazyyyy.

Everywhere & everything was PACKED. There were lines to get into every store. We got there around 9am and left around 4:30 in the afternoon. I got a few items on my Xmas shopping list crossed off but I couldn't leave without a small little something for myself now could I? ;)

These Aerosoles boots are now on sale for $100, but at the Outlets these were an extra 20% off bringing them down to $80. If you've seen previous shoe posts on here you know I LOVE my Aerosoles. Boots, wedges, heels, sandals, I love them. They always have the most comfortable while at the same time still stylish shoes. I alwaysss get compliments when I wear any of my Aerosoles.

OOTD pics w these coming soon!


AerosolesRIDE LINE $80 at the Outlets

WISHLIST: Colored Denim

2011-11-07T12:38:00.001-05:00

My biggest rule when it comes to spending on a new trend is to buy from places like Forever21, Target, H&M, etc. With their cheaper price tags I can try out the trend without spending big $$$ if it goes out of style.

Here are some options I have come across for this trend depending on your budget, from HIGH to LOW of course. :)

Express

Zelda Jean Legging in Red

$80

Wayyy too much $$$ in my book for a trendy item. Plus, these were super long on me & run really small. The perfect inseam for me is around 30" and these were prob around 33/34" so I would've had to spend more $ just to get them hemmed.

American Eagle

Jegging in Blue

$45

I like how you have the option of getting these in Short, Regular or Long. But for $45 I still feel like the price tag was way too high for this item.

Mossimo for Target

Juniors Skinny Denim

$23

I've heard it runs small but that's prob b/c it's Junior sizes. I am looking to try a pair of these on sometime this week, but I can't decide between the blue or the red! The $23 price tag is exactly what I am looking for when it comes to a trendy item. Even if I only get a couple months of use from these I won't feel bad when the trend dies.

Did you go out and buy some colored denim?

If so, let me know from where?

Product I LOVE: Butter me up!

2011-11-02T15:57:00.000-04:00

I've heard alot of rants and raves about the Butter LONDON nail polish collection that finally made its way to the US.

The name is catchy/genius for a nail polish, but @ $14 a bottle, I never even gave it a second thought!

That is...until I saw the range of colors @ ULTA. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! The colors all had such an iridescent & rich opaque quality to them.

I WAS HOOKED.

I started searching ebay, amazon & I'll have to check out my local Harmons to see if they carry these polishes for a cheaper price tag than $14!

Here are some of the colors I fell in love with...and I'm warning you now these pics do NO justice for the actual colors in person.

Yummy Mummy

All Hail the Queen

Bumster

Come to Bed Red

Teddy Girl

The Black Knight

OOTW: Happy Halloween

OOTW: Made just for me

2011-10-18T22:38:00.002-04:00

I've always had issues with the length on pants. Anything over a 29 or 30 inseam is too long which makes me look ever more short & stumpy.

So I was in heaven when I came across Lauren Conrad for Kohls awhile back. Her pants fit like they were made just for me!

Unfortunately, Lauren's Kohls line doesn't carry a huge variety of pants. So in the meantime, my other fav pants will just have to be rolled up...or professionally hemmed...one or the other ;)

Ever since I spotted Kate Middleton always wearing these LK Bennett heels I was on my own mission to find myself a pair of versatile go-to nude heels that were both comfortable and cute that I could wear to work but also grab for a night out where I know I'll be on my feet.

ANDDDDD TA DAAA!! Finally I found them.

Magic Tricks

2011-09-29T10:36:00.001-04:00

Stella McCartney came out with a super tight shift dress that will make you look TWO dress sizes smaller. Think of it as an optical illusions of sorts. The dress is made up of 3 colors. Take a closer look and you'll notice the black at the sides & the lighter grey on the front of the dress while the top part of the dress is white.

Other designers/lines have come up with their own versions.

Victoria Beckham & Kim K rocking the Alexander McQueen version.

Forever21 has their own version too.

OOTD: Stars (Heidi Klum) & Stripes

2011-07-18T14:09:00.001-04:00

Nope...this isn't a super late 4th of July post.

Last weekend I went into NYC with some friends & we saw a bunch of paparazzi staked out in front of a little cafe called 'Bar Pitti' in the Greenwich Village section of NYC. One nice paparazzo told us Heidi Klum was in there. She was purposely seated in a blind spot behind where my red arrow below is pointing so the paparazzi couldn't get shots of her.

When she got up to leave a zoomed in as much as I could to get a shot of her signing an autograph.

We headed down to a little cafe called Vinyl for some lunch & mimosas. Super cute beachy decorations everywhere along with a bathroom dedicated with a huge mosaic tile of Justin Timberlake haha.

Made our way to Central Park to hang out and catch up on life.

Dinner & drinks after we made our way back into NJ.

My new weapon of choice for a quick summer hair bun...

Goody

Spin Pins

Or if I want to wake up with some loose beachy waves as seen below...

I let my hair slightly air-dry, then I spray some Bumble & Bumble Styling spray...(works wonders for my thin, fine/limp hair)

Along with my FAV Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray...<3

And I use my trusty Goody Spin Pins to put it up in a slightly loose bun & wake up in the morning, let my hair down anddd Voila, beachy waves!

(If I want more curl I just wrap a few pieces around my Hot Tools 1.5 curling iron)

Before I discovered these I used a bobby pin so after awhile the style would start coming apart...(cute for the weekends) but not for a polished office hair bun.

Give them a try and let me know what you think!

Outfit Inspiration: Kim Kardashian in White Jeans

2011-07-15T16:28:00.002-04:00

I've always loved the crisp look of a white jean...I'm just not into the weird cross between a 'Mom' jean and an 80's rocker vibe. So I've always stuck to white capris, white skirts, white shorts, etc.

But when I saw Kim sporting these I just had to get myself a pair of white jeans for the summertime...oh, and did I mention I'm obsessed with jeans that have zippers or any type of slight seam designs on the legs?? ...yea..it's bad..

Here she's was wearing Current/Elliot 'The Crop ankle-zip' skinny jeans. I was on the hunt to find a pair on sale since the $150 price tag wasn't gonna work for me.

Singer22.com was cleaned out...
none to be found on ebay.com...
Revolve Clothing was out b/c it had them on sale for $60...ugh don't you hate when that happens!?

Finally, after much searching, I found them on TheOutnet.com for $80!

Ah ignore the tag on the heels, debating whether or not to take them back to Target!

An OOTD w/ these!

Outfit Inspiration: Casual Cute

2011-06-30T16:35:00.009-04:00

Casual cute sums up my fav all time looks.

A simple, good quality gray or white tee tucked into skinnies with a great belt is my go to staple outfit. Top it off with some chunky wedges, a solid bag, acessories, etc. and I'm out the door!

My 'lookbook' folder on my desktop always has a version of these causal cute looks pulled off by some of my favorite celebs that always manage to look chic.

But for some reason I SWEAR I can't seem to pull it off like these ladies do below! OOTD inspiration posts on these looks below coming soon!

Gotta love Lauren Conrad's black & gold heels, prob YSL

Taken from the Ann Taylor website

I'm always on the hunt for the 'perfect tee.' What I mean by that is quality quality QUALITY!

I'm willing to spend more $$$ on staple items, but you prob won't catch me spending more than $30 for one...if that. I'll have a post dedicated to my fav white tees soon, but until then I'll share my favorites with you.

I turned the big 2-5!

Didn't get to go much this past week to celebrate, I've been working late & have been fighting a cold, don't mind the plain looking pic below. BUT I'm celebrating this weekend with friends so I'm trying to feel better ASAP!

Here are a few OOTD's from this crazyyyy week!

DUPE IT/GOT IT: DVF Zia Heel & Miu Miu Wedge & Michael Kors Dillon Raffia Sandal

2011-06-16T12:36:00.009-04:00

I've been in love with the Diane von Furstenberg Zia heel, but not the $280 price tag.

The same goes for these Miu Miu suede clog sandals with their $520 price tag...yikes!

AND an almost exact dupe of the Michael Kors Dillon Raffia Sandal.

Michael Kors

Dillon Raffia Sandal

on sale for $157

So when I accidentally came across this dupe at DSW I freaked! They're the MRKT Trey Sandal in Taupe (not pictured, the ones below are Nude) and they were marked down to $80 which was still too much for my liking. HOWEVER, I came across a pair of these marked down by 30% while browsing in the Clearance section! $50 sounded more reasonable to me so I scooped these right up! Plus I got $5 off b/c next week is my birthday!

MRKT via DSW

Trey Sandal

$80 got it for $50!

UPDATE 6/16/11: I received a comment below about what kinds of options to wear with the MRKT Trey sandal. My answer...JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING! They're sooo versatile & super comfortable! Based on my own personal style/pref, I prob wouldn't pair these with:

a Maxi dress/skirt (too bulky for me)
a Delicate summer dress (unless you are gonna add some proportion on top with a blazer/jacket)
Flared jeans (too bulky/hippie looking for me)

So to help answer your question here are some OOTD's below:

With a skirt

Top: Ann Taylor $12 on sale

Skirt: New York & co. $5 clearance

Belt: New York & co. $12 clearance

With Cropped Pants

Top: Threads for Thought via Hautelook.com

Cropped pants: Joe's Jeans via TJ Maxx $60

(Yea..I don't have the back straps of the shoes on in this pic haha, sorry!)

With a Dress & Blazer

(I'm not wearing the shoes in this pic, but this is an OOTD I would pair them up with)

Dress: Urban Outfitters

Blazer: H&M

Belt: H&M

Shoes: Aerosoles

These would also look cute with skinny jeans and of course shorts. More OOTD's with these shoes coming soon! :)

GOT IT: Ann Taylor SALE

2011-06-09T09:59:00.004-04:00

I ALWAYS wait until the end of the month when Ann Taylor and LOFT mark down their prices and then add on an ADDITIONAL 40%!

Here are a few items I purchased a few weeks ago from the Ann Taylor sale.

The Skirt & The Bracelet
Love Love LOVE this skirt. Super soft material, you'd never realize how comfy and lightweight of a skirt it is. PERFECT for hot summer days in the office.

Bracelet: Ann Taylor $9 final sale!

Top: New York & co.

Sweater: had forever

Shoes: TJ Maxx

The Shirt
You can't really tell from the photo, but the front material of this shirt is a satin-y finish. Perfect tee to dress up any work outfit, plus the neutral color helps it goes with EVERYTHING. This type of shirt is one of my fav wardrobe staples. See it in another OOTD below.

The Shirt, The Belt & The Skirt (again)

GOT IT: James Perse via Hautelook

2011-06-09T00:00:00.000-04:00

James Perse is the epitome of classic, quality basic staples for your closet. (A post on my fav basic staples is coming soon!) However, no matter how 'on sale' his line is at Bloomingdales, etc., price-wise it is still unattainable for me.

So last week when I saw Hautelook was having a sale on James Perse.. let me tell you..not only have I been superrr excited all week, but I started saving up quite a few pennies. Sale ends this Saturday, 5/14 @ 8AM PDT.

Double Front V-Neck Tee

Can't wait!

What's your favorite brand for quality staple pieces!?

Spring/Summer Staple: The Maxi Dress

2011-06-08T16:51:00.002-04:00

The silhouette of a maxi dress on a hanger never seems to appeal to me. A long, floor length dress for someone that's 5'4 and lacking long legs or a long torso?? Yea..not very flattering on me.

But it's the bright prints, colors, and California 'casual without trying' vibe that always draw me in a la Vanessa Hudgens & Lauren Conrad.

I always look bigger, wider, and stumpier than I am in them...so I always swear to vow off maxis.

But instead of erasing the simple ease of a maxi from my wardrobe, I should have been asking myself how to make the maxi work for me!

It wasn't until I saw someone wearing a light grey maxi with a wide belt and pendant necklace that it clicked for me!

I WANTED:

a SOLID colored maxi with regular tank top straps! (So I could mix & match as much as possible since I don't plan on investing in more than one maxi dress)
NO floral/busy prints. (I only wear them in a flattering cut that I know works for my body type)
NO strapless/halter straps! (They don't look flattering on my chest)

So believe it or not, the hard part was trying to find a solid/neutral colored maxi with wide tank top straps for under $30..hey now, I live in NJ, not Cali.

So where did I turn?? EBAY! I did a generic search and compared quite a few grey maxis, crossed my fingers & waited. See the Ebay seller's store here.

Sweater: New York & co. $25

Belt: New York & co. $12

Sandals: New York & co. $12

Neckalce: Aeropostale

Other options

Target has 2 versions of the gray maxi:

This one wasn't fitted and the shade of grey was too dark, see here.

This one was fitted, but it was racer-back and not the length I wanted, see here.

H&M also had a grey maxi for $35, but it was racer-back & had a huge number '6' on the front of it.

GOT IT: Dolce Vita for Target

2011-06-03T16:28:00.002-04:00

I've seen Dolce Vita for Target's shoes here and there each season, but I've never really liked any of their shoe styles. They always came off as too funky and androgynous.

However, this past week on a quick random trip to Target to look for some summer & maxi dresses I took a quick peek in the shoe aisle and fell in loveee.


Cork Wedge $30

Rope Wedge $30

I've bought quite a few shoes/wedges from Target in the past and they rarely disappoint. So when I laid eyes on these I was sold. So how to choose?

Both are black, strappy and only $30...

When it comes to buying shoes, I have a rule of thumb for myself. Yes, don't buy more than 2 pairs at a time is something I painfully stick to, but that's not it. ;)

It's to avoid buying a shoe that cuts off in a straight line at the ankle. At 5'4 I don't consider myself short, but based on my body type, I don't have long legs or a long torso. So I tend to buy shoes that don't cut off around the ankle area. However, with wedges that can be a challenge so I make sure it has a slight curve/dip at the ankle in order to give my legs a much sleeker look.

Top: Xhiliration via Target $14

White tank underneath: Target $8

Jeggings: Lauren Conrad via Kohls

Chunky bracelet: Ann Taylor $9 final sale!

So guess which wedge I went with?? Yup, the Cork Wedge which I liked better anyway. I also picked up a new pair of patent nude heels for work.


Mossimo Pearce Pumps - Taupe $30

Althoughhhh I've been very tempted to exchange them for these almond toe heels that I saw online but not in the store....

Mossimo Black Versie Pumps - Natural Patent $30

Anyone else delightfully surprised at the recent Target shoes??

OOTW: These April showers are gonna bring some BIG ass May flowers

2011-05-19T16:45:00.001-04:00

Well...we're halfway through May and you know what that means in NJ...~~warm weather & abundant sunshine~~...TONS of rain! Sometimes I think Mother Nature has something against NJ...hmm

Enjoy some OOTDs from the past week!

GOT IT: Ella Moss & Joie via Hautelook & Adrienne Vittadini via Ideeli

2011-05-19T16:21:00.000-04:00

Lately, Hautelook & Ideeli have been hosting sales by some of my fav brands..and since I'm one to rarely pay full-price for an item these 2 sites are some of my fav samples sites out there.

I've been a member of Hautelook for almost a year now. My only con is shipping time. The earliest I've ever received an item from Hautelook has been 3 weeks after my purchase. The longest has been a month.

I'm also a member of Ideeli, and they seem to ship fairly quickly. My most recent purchase was last week and they shipped out the item on Saturday. So I'm hoping by the end of this week I will have my order. :)

And last but not least, I'm a member of Gilt Group. Great sales by big name brands/designers, but still too pricey for my taste.

Hautelook

UPDATE: Ella Moss ordered on 4/26. Rec'd 5/12. Eh..too slow.

Two of my favorite brands for super soft material are Ella Moss & Joie. Even when these are on a major blowout sale at Bloomingdales, I still can't afford them. So when I saw a sale on Joie & Ella Moss on Hautelook it was like Christmas morning!

UPDATE: Joie ordered on 4/27. Rec'd the striped tank on 5/6. Not bad, but the Alicia tee was short ordered. :( In the process of Hautelook refunding me for item.

UPDATE: Ideeli ordered 4/29. Rec'd 5/6. Much faster than Hautelook!

I love Adrienne Vittadini for the quality of their simple basic pieces. However, I've never bought items from this brand at full price because I tend to find Adrienne Vittadini among the racks at TJ Maxx here and there so I was really excited to see Ideeli was hosting a sale as well.
