The Look For Less: Prada Stud Bow Ballet Flats
I know bow flats have been around forever, but I recently became smitten with these Prada Stud Bow Flats ($530). What I don't love, however, is the high cost. The soft bow and studs are desirable — the price tag, not so much.
Blake Lively in Bow-tiful Marchesa: Love It or Hate It?
It's clear by now: Blake Lively loves low-cut. At the NYC premiere of her latest flick, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, the actress wore one of the most plunging tops she's worn in a while. But, the long sleeves of the Marchesa jacket, as well as that big whimsical bow, keep her from being too risque.
Fab Finger Discount: Ralph Lauren Red Bow Sandals
Say hello to my new sassy babies: these Ralph Lauren Red Bow Sandals ($75, originally $255). I wasn't lying when I told you I was feeling whimsical. They're such lookers, I couldn't not share the wealth.
15 Ways to Add Whimsy to Your Wardrobe
Whimsical, playful, comical, eccentric — all ways to describe giving into fanciful notions. Polka dots, bows, sequins, animals, and ruffles are all ways to amuse yourself. I have been in a whimsical fashion mood lately — perhaps Louis Vuitton's bunny ears, coupled with Mary-Kate and Ashley's lace ears, spawned it.
January Jones's LBD With Boob Bows: Love It or Hate It?
Mad Men star January Jones attended a cocktail reception thrown by AMC in Pasadena last night. The actress definitely takes risks on the red carpet, but I don't think I've ever seen her rock a sheer LBD. The strategically placed bows can either be perceived as cute or distracting.
Look of the Day: Bows and Dots
Who'd ever think to mix bows and dots? turquoisepassion did and she looks amazing. I like how she balanced out her bright dots with a sleek blazer but she really took it to the next level with the exaggerated bow detail in the front.
Marc Jacobs Bow Gladiator Sandal: Love It or Hate It?
I love bows, I love gladiator sandals, but do I love them together? I'm not so sure. This Marc Jacobs Bow Glitter Sandal ($535, originally 897) is certainly cute to look at, but is it too cutesy to wear?
Trend Alert: Bow Belts
Where have all the bows gone? For a while, it was all studs and leather, so it's nice to see the sweet thang is still around. What better way to evoke femininity than with bow belts?
eBay Find of the Week
OK, this is really weird. I was perusing eBay as usual when I came across the exact version of a vintage dress I got at a thrift store a few years ago: this Vintage Mod Bluish Purple Mini Dress, bust 38. As a proud owner, let me tell you, it has the ability to instantly induce fun.
Oscars Trend Alert: All Tied Up in Bows and Knots
Bows and ties and knots, oh my! On this year's Oscars red carpet, Amanda Seyfried, Tilda Swinton, Heidi Klum, Freida Pinto, and Jessica Biel were well-fastened with bold, over-sized bows and subtle, delicate knots. Seyfried's festive red Valentino gown won't secure her a gold statuette, but it's certainly given "It's a wrap!"
