Style: December ’09

Can you believe we’re more than halfway through December already? Whew! The shop has been keeping me so busy (thank you), I hadn’t had time to put together my monthly style post until now.

Style: December '09

I’ve been feeling so frumpy lately. I’m not walking around in sweat pants and t-shirt freebies or anything, but I’ve still been feeling a bit blah. Therefore, we have bows! Ruffles! Flowers! Pretty Shoes!* Yummy color! Unabashed femininity!

*My apologies for picking a shoe that’s almost sold out, but it also comes in a lovely mushroom color and they’re on clearance for about $30 (score).

This is going to be my guiding principle for the holidays:
dress like a cupcake should feel

  • I have this dress, I can vouch for it and say it is VERY cute, not just in the photo. :D Great accessory choices!

    P.S. Per Melissa M’s comment above about Big Bird – I wore mustard tights to work last week and was SHOCKED that my boss didn’t say the same thing. I was just waiting for it and it didn’t happen. Maybe he was too busy to notice. HA! (This being the boss who called my ankle boots “Fairy Booties.”)

  • The hair piece is my favorite ever! I have hair that resembles the models (not that I could ever get it to look like THAT) but I could probably do a sloppy pony and get a similar look. The shoes have just stolen my heart…

  • I always want to dress like a cupcake – and did you say those shoes are on sale?! uh-oh

    Ok… so this comment was long overdue. I’ve been following your blog for about a year now and I’ve never told how jealous I am of you! You’re so creative! I love the style posts!

    I’m a fashion designer, menswear and you absolutely get brownie point from me. I love reading your blog overall, not just your style posts.

    Keep it up superwoman. :)

  • I love this month’s style post. Everything on it is after my heart – the dress, the shoes, the clutch and the bracelet. You leave me wanting for more!

  • Amanda

    I so LOVE your style blogs. If you have the time I would love a link to see them all in one place. Thanks :)

  • Molly

    Saw that dress at Anthropolgie the other day – LOVE IT! Those shoes are perfect.

  • So if you ever have some time on your hands (haha!), could you just revamp my closet? I trust your taste entirely. Entirely!

  • Amanda B.

    So gorgeous!

  • I do so love these style posts, they give me such great inspiration for things to add to spice up my wardrobe. And that cupcake poster is too damn cute, I may have to put that in my own stocking. ;)

  • such a great combination! love your style!

  • I love that sign, ‘Dress like a cupcake should feel.’ I too have been a little frumpy lately, but after being inspired by the lovely pretty yellow skirt, I will most certainly get my act together.

  • Ohhh, I am dying over December’s style. It is so very very me!

  • Oh man, that dress is amazing! I love this one!

  • Michelle

    The guiding principle is great! Reminds me of the book In House Weddings by Bohumil Hrabel, whose main character, dumped by her fiancee and without a work permit in post-war Prague, acts on advice to present herself like french pastry topped with whipped cream.

    Love the pieces and the layout! But not sure about the total look? Can you post a pic of all together? Not sure about the tights with those shoes….

  • Lovely dress! Congrats on the Times of London feature!

    How do you have time to have a baby, job, and write such a cute blog?

  • You would make a wonderful personal shopper…you know…if you wanted to take on yet another career.

    Congrats on the Times spot, by the way!

  • I wore tights just like those to work the other day. My boss called me Big Bird.

  • This is just beautiful. I’m going to a daytime wedding in March and something like this would be just perfect. :)
