Sweets for the Sweet



What I'm wearing:
*Diane von Furstenberg Julian Wrap Dress in Red Leopard
*J.Crew Boyfriend Blazer (similar here & here)
*H&M Black Tights
*Frye Lisa T-strap Mary Janes in Black (similar here)
*Mulberry Alexa Bag in Oak


Happy Valentine's Day! I am fully aware that it is a completely commercialized, Hallmark holiday, but I just love all the pink and the hearts that are everywhere. I decided in honor of the holiday I'd wear my red leopard wrap-dress that had been sitting unworn in my closet for far too long.


Meet the newest addition to my closet! I have been lusting after the Mulberry Alexa for a very long time, but never pulled the trigger on it. This bag is actually a gift from my family as a Valentine's Day/early birthday/new job celebrating present! I had a tough time deciding between the regular size and the oversized, but I ended up with the regular because I can wear it anywhere, and it's a great size to wear cross-body. The oversized looked just a bit too big on me, and I already have some bigger sized purses.

    Happy V-Day to you, yours and your Savvy pup! You look fantastic in the red DVF - I think the wrap dresses really fit your shape well and look great. As for the Mulberry, I think I may be dying, a la Rachel Zoe!

    Agh, I LOVE the Mulberry Alexa! I got a bag from Madewell that looks really similar to it, but it's definitely no comparison to the real deal. What a lovely gift!

    I LOVE the red wrap dress! I remember seeing Anjali from Goldenmeans sport the grey version and have been enamored with it ever since. You pull off the red version beautifully and it is Valentine's Day perfect!

    What a stunning wrap dress! I hear only good things about DVF, but I just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

    And your new bag is seriously, heart-stoppingly beautiful. Love everything about it -- the color, the shape, the hardware. Lovely!
