Virtual Shopping Spree with Zara

Virtual Shopping Spree with Zara by kristenalyce

I both wish there was a Zara here and am happy that there isn't! Fortunately I can shop online; I have already bought several pairs of shoes from the website but I am skeptical about buying clothes because I have to try things on. If there was one here, I'd surely go broke so it's probably a good thing. This set was just a random one, thrown together on this boring Sunday afternoon. Visit the Polyvore page for links to closer looks at the clothes, shoes and accessories featured here! :)

Fashion Journal Entry #12: Spring Fling

Fashion Journal Entry #12: Spring Fling by kristenalyce 

Hello, my darling fashionistas! I haven't posted in a while...trying to remedy that now that I have a proper work-space in my apartment! I have a lot of catching up to do! But it's not like I have any followers on this page so I've no one whose missed me...except for my page itself! :p

Anywho, I have kind of switched up how I do my outfit sets on Polyvore. I used to put all kinds of text describing what I wore and what you have to do to emulate the look. Now I'm kind of into the whole collage thing! Isn't it pretty! :)

Here is a larger shot of what I am wearing, though:

Let me start with this lovely tulle skirt that I bought for only $3.00 at one of my favorite thrift stores here in Fayetteville. I love going here because it's like the shop owner gets her prices from Jesus Himself. As I held the skirt up and asked her how much it was, she was like, "Oh praise Jesus...bless You Jesus...glory to Your Name Father...three dollars!"

Amen!!

I paired it with a simple white print tank, black blazer and bowler cap. I wish I could show you the black lace up booties I wore as well...got them from Zara...my faves! I will take a pic of them and upload later.

As for accessories, I was pretty basic: pearl necklace, dangly earrings...cute! :)

That's all for now! I have another set to create from a look I sported while out shopping last weekend! Coming soon!

Smooches,

Kristen

Date Night Set #1: A Night at the Movies

Date Night Set #1: A Night at the Movies by kristenalyce 

SO I created this set above to keep myself occupied until my honey returns and we go on our first date to the movies but ironically, right after I posted it, I got up and dressed to go to the movies alone. Boo-thang wants to see Django Unchained; so I decided to go and see my girlie movie alone.

And without really thinking about it (as I decided at 4:00 to go to the 4:30 show and just threw on something quickly) what I wore was pretty similar to what I assembled in this set although I currently lack a proper camera or photographer to best capture my fit. Had to do best with what I had to work with, so here goes.

In place of a comfy henly, I wore a comfy thermal from Forever 21 topped with an Aztec print cardigan by BCBG Max Azria (purchased for the low-low at Ross).

 

Because my hair is currently in cornrows, I didn't rock the high bun look featured in the set and instead topped me head with a winter beanie and called it a day. In place of biker boots (which I've yet to own), I rocked my brown "mud stompers" (as I call them) that I bought many years ago from Pull & Bear. Couldn't really get a good picture of them, though:

This photo was taken after the movies...hence the slight wardrobe malfunction!

The earcuff set was replaced with a pair of print earrings I found at a local thrift store and as you can see, I am still working on that dark lip:

 Here is a photo of the whole look...sigh, I can't WAIT to get a better camera...can't...wait.

So that's it...thought I looked pretty cute considering I had 15 minutes to pull something together. My darling will be back tomorrow so we will be going to Raleigh in the next couple of days and as I NEVER get a chance to dress up for him, I am planning on going all out. I have some black mountain boots from Zara that are waiting patiently to get some action, so I will be playing dress-up over the next couple of days to see which look will make the date cut...Polyvore set coming soon!

That is all for now, my lovelies! More style talk soon...happy 2013 to ya!! <3

Love,

K.

Fashion Journal Entry #3: Nia's Graduation (UPDATED)

Oooh, I couldn't wait to share this set with you! I absolutely loved what I wore to Nia's graduation on Friday and the weather was just perfect for it! The dress was so light and flowy; the shoes were actually very comfortable and although I didn't get new accessories as I hoped, everything flowed together quite nicely! 

By the way, for those of you new to my blog, my Polyvore sets feature a photo of myself with a descriptive list of what I wore and then I create a similar look with slight variations in color. I normally try to stay within the same brands but I can't always find exactly what I wore online so I try to get as close to the look as possible.

Be sure to check out my Polyvore page as well! :)

Here are a few shots by my sister; check out her page Nia Fashionista to read the Spotlight feature she did on me! :)

Ballerina necklace from Zara, Jessica Simpson purse, ruffled high-low dress with braided belt by Allen B.

Multi-colored platform sandals from Zara; "Four-Leaf Clover" by China Glaze on my toes!

Multi-colored scarf from Aldo; tassel earrings from Doha; sunnies from JCPenney

It's actually driving me crazy trying to remember where I bought these earrings (which also have a matching bracelet that I wore as well). I know I bought them last year in Doha to go with my birthday dress but for the life of me, I cannot recall which store they came from! Top Shop? Aldo? Arrrrrgh! It's so nerve-wrecking! It will come to me one day! 


Now, unfortunately, I only have one full-length photo of myself in my little get-up, taken by my cousin Tasha; however, thanks to Nia's amazing close-ups, you have a much better visual! So here I am, getting my Spring-time bright white on! You like? :)

I LOVE!! :)
