Michelle Williams for Boy. by Band of Outsiders

Leave a comment

Well, it would seem its ad season lately on PrettyWellDressed. With a degree in Advertising, I suppose that I have a particular interest in fashion advertising. I always find them to be beautiful, creative and very interesting. But let’s face it, they have to be all of the above in order to grab your attention. Fashions ads show us a product, how gorgeous and luxurious it is, and make us long for the life we’d have if we were to buy the product (or something like that). Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate those 40+ pages of advertising at the front of magazines; I always love a good campaign. And right now, I’m diggin what Band of Outsiders has to offer. Michelle Williams joins the likes of past Band of Outsiders models Kirsten Dunst, Rupert Grint and Tom Felton. The lookbook tells a story so it’s best to check out the beaucoup of images here. Meanwhile, here are my favorites.

 

Post Jason Wu-shopping

Leave a comment

Here is my tale of woe: I went to Target hoping to find one of the items I blogged about the other day. When I got there the selection was poor at best. Not because it was shopped, but the Target just didn’t get very good pieces. They had a few t-shirts and two different dresses, it was pathetic. Needless to say, I’m quite disappointed. I can remember being excited for every featured designer for Target and never really being let down by selection. So, sorry for my whiney post. Maybe I’ll just order this blouse like I said I would, in the first place. Did anyone else have a bad experience? Or a good one? Let me know!

Jason Wu for Target

2 Comments

So in honor of Jason Wu’s February 5th arrival date, I am including my favorites from his collection. I had my heart set on this white blouse with a black ribbon (below), but I’ve just found out that it’s an online exclusive. I’m so discouraged about it because getting my blouse size is so tricky, plus it’s juniors sizes, etc, it’s just not fair. That being said, I must get something from the collection on Sunday. So I’m trying to decide what I’ll purchase. Here are my options, I’d love your suggestions!

Black Ribbon Blouse $34.99 (target.com exclusive)

Blush Long Sleeve Blouse $34.99

Gold Textured Pleated-Front Peplum $32.50

The enchantingly gorgeous songstress Lana del Rey flaunts her doe-eyes and trademark bee-stung pout on the cover of British Vogue. The March issue is colored a pretty pink, mirroring the freshness of Lana’s look and the up-coming spring months.

Michael Pitt Prada Ads S/S ’12

Michael Pitt, the gorgeous star of Boardwalk Empire, poses for Prada’s Spring Summer 2012 mens campaign. His look is so unique, and I think Prada did a really good job in asking Pitt to be the face of the collection. He’s got both celebrity recognition and a model-esque face .

Elie Saab Spring 2012 Couture

Leave a comment

So far Elie Saab is my favorite couture collection for 2012. The colors are icy pastels: white, mint green, peach, nude, yellow, blue and pink. This collection is light and airy, and most notably sheer. After looking at some of the other couture collections it looks like sheer fabrics are still very popular amongst this spring’s couturiers. Here are my favorites from the Elie Saab collection:

Hot Trend: Printed Blouses

1 Comment

Here are 3 amazing printed blouses that are right on trend for this winter. Even though I am an advocate of solids and plaids, printed blouses can be a great statement piece for winter. It’s a perfect way to add color to your wardrobe in those grey cold months. They look great with dark denim, or a solid colored skirt (try american apparel).
