Ma Dame Indeed!

Someone needs to buy me this perfume for Christmas:

Above: Ma Dame Perfume by Jean Paul Gaultier

It is so subtle and soft smelling...yet has spicy notes to it as well.

It seems to blend into my skin to the point where it smells like it is the natural fragrance of my skin...if my skin smelled like Ma Dame perfume.

I need to have this scent because I cannot stop smelling my wrists where I spritzed the sample of it.

I was relatively good this past year...someone gift it to me. :)

Dress Search Update and New Shoes.

I have decided against Dress #1 because I am not feeling it is dressy enough for NYE. Of course it helps that they no longer have it in my size in making this decision.

I loved the dress but it just didn't seem dressy enough to me and it was a bit spendy for not being dressy. So, I start searching for what to wear for NYE yet again. At least there is an abundance of black dresses everywhere online.

I have to make my decision within this next week so send positive dress making decision thoughts my way.

I was in Target yesterday and came across these great flats which I bought:

I need more flat shoes since everything I own shoe-wise is heeled or flipflop...so I got them. They even look great with funky socks so good buy for me.

Now just to find the right dress...so difficult when I don't want to go above $200 for a dress but still want to look good.

*Sigh*

The Dress Search Continues & Necklace Purchase!

I have been m.i.a. for the last few days due to the holidays, watching the fourth season of Sex In the City on DVD (I am late to the game with this tv show.), and feeling rather blah about things. Yeah...a few day "blue period" for me.

Still no NYE dress...I am thinking about my option #1 I posted here a lot but worry it isn't dressy enough even though it is funky and "me".

The #1 Dress option to refresh memories:

I found two sites that have some decent party dresses and will be looking through them the next few days as I decide what I am going to do for a dress. that way if I decide against the above dress or they are out of my size in the above dress...I have my bases covered.

I did buy this necklace for NYE:

Above: sterling silver new beginnings lotus disc necklace - 18 inch by Dogeared Jewels

It's silver, it's simple, and it will go with many different outfits while not being overwhelming in size. I have wanted a piece of jewelry from Dogeared Jewels for ages as well.

I like the saying on the card because it fits right in with my life right now. This past year has been horrible for me for various reasons...I need to look at the new year as a new beginning. So, this necklace will mean a lot to me.

So, I have the necklace, purse, and a pair of black boots to wear...I just need a dress!

Who'd have thought looking for a NYE dress would be so hard?

I Like The Night Life Baby...She Says...Let's Go!

Well, I have been fighting a cold for two weeks now that seemed to go away and then formed into a nasty cough. the cough has mutated into a mild sore throat. So annoying.

I am still looking for dresses for NYE though not as avidly as before. I haven't had a chance yet to look locally because I haven't felt up to going out and wandering through stores.

Online, I did find this cool sweater at 80's Purple:

Above: KISS ME DEADLY SWEATER in Black by Obey

I love the graphic design on it and the sweater is deep-v and light-weight.

I even have thought I could use to for NYE with the right skirt...but that leads me to trying to find the perfect skirt which is even harder than trying to find the perfect dress. Skirts just do not fit me right most of the time because I am "skinny" but not "stick thin skinny" in that I have a woman's curves while being thin. Makes finding the perfect fitting skirt a nightmare for me as they are all too tight or too loose most the time.

But the design:

Is so cool and it appeals to me. I am a sucker for a modern, stylized, graphic design element, print.

And I love the longer sleeves on it. They hit just midway down the hand. That is another thing I love since most long-sleeve shirts have too short of sleeves on me. So, I will definitely think about this sweater.

Strangely enough, the sweater brings this song into my head:

"Let's Go"- The Cars

Onto other fashion subjects...

This nail polish:

Above: Metro Chick Nail Colour by Sephora by Opi

Just rocks my world!

It is the perfect shade of grey (quite warm yet dark) and slightly darker than in the photo/bottle when it dries. It dries extremely fast and doesn't bubble. A nail polish that doesn't bubble and dry fast is KICK ASS in my book.

I am wearing this shade often and loving it.

If you haven't bought this nail polish shade yet rush out to Sephora and buy it or order it on their website. And pssst...it is only $9.00 per bottle before tax.

I also received this bracelet:

...that I have been excited about receiving and waiting on arrival through the mail.

The gold colour is an "antiqued" effect and it is chunky...and a bit heavy. I am super thin in the wrist so it fits me well...only moving up my arm about 4 inches.

This means that if you are a heavier lady...the bracelet will not be closing easily (if at all) on you...even with the toggle closure it has.

Just a little warning.

Okay, off I head to finish up online activities and then head to bed.

Just a Glamoramapuss.

I was wandering around online and discovered a really cool site called Glamoramapuss.

I am loving the bright necklaces there with all the detail that they have to them!

I am just in awe of the small little shells and coral in that necklace. I think this one is my favorite of the necklaces because I have always been in love with the ocean.

The Buddha head is gorgeous as well. Perfect for those into yoga and eastern art.

There are also great bracelets , earrings, and a Storybook Collection of necklaces at the site so swing by, check them out, and purchase if you are inspired to.

NYE Dress Idea #3

I was wandering around Urban Outfitters and also saw this dress on my stylefeed:

Above: Lark & Wolff by Steven Alan Bow Party Dress

It is simple and elegant...and only $98.00. The bow is quite cool:

But I cannot help but think it's a bit TOO simple. Especially the back:

I like the length and the deepness of the v-neck...it just seems a bit bland to me. It also looks like it could be a bit "sack dress" like in fit and I am into more fitted dresses.

I know I could fancy it up with accessories but, I don't know. It just doesn't have the "upmh" I want for my NYE dress.

Input please!

NYE Dress Idea #2

I was looking and looking online for possible dresses for NYE and came across this one on shopbop.com:

Above: Sprouse Dress by Ella Moss

I love the splashes of red and brown the dress has with the tie and front neckline.

Above: Close-up of neckline.

The only problem with the dress is it is $166.00 BEFORE shipping and tax is factored in. Grrr...everything I like costs more a decent chunk of money.

Above: Back view of dress.

It would make a good party dress that isn't too flashy yet not boring either. And it is like the 80's Stephen Sprouse clothing.

Just another dress to think about for NYE in NYC.
