Heavy Metal

March 18th, 2010

Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Dress, Martin + Osa Necklaces, Marc Jacobs Bag, Zara Wedges

If I wasn’t concerned about repeating myself incessantly, I’d have an entire closet filled with sheer, frilly dresses. They’re deceptively polished since they require little more effort than slipping one over your head and running out the door. I’ve had this one for a while and I like toughening it up with drapey metallic jewelry and some chunky platforms.

I love your collection of dresses. I tend to build my wardrobe one staple at a time and this spring I’m on the hunt for dresses. The shoes and belt look amazing with this color dress. I’ve been reading your blog for about a month now, I love it!

I’m in LOVE with Martin + Osa and their accessories. It’s become a very big staple in my wardrobe and I’m so upset that they announced their closing their doors. Shopping spree soon!!

Is there a way we can still order the same type of jewelry that was selling on your Etsy shop? I’ve been looking for rough-cut jewelry for a long time and yours were all amazing but I can’t find anything similar lately!

Love everything about this look, esp. the color of the dress and ruffles on the shoulders.

Andrea, I’m with you on the dress: it’s lovely, but you can get a similar version (from H&M, Forever 21, etc.) for much less. That’s why I made the comment about the necklace: at Martin & Osa, I’m sure it was over $50, but mine (from Target, and almost identical) was under $10.
All that said, I’m not blog bashing here. I love this blog and Emily’s style, but you can use her outfits as INSPIRATION to find the look for less somewhere else.

Love this look! Fabulous dress, fabulous shoes. You kind of look like Lo Bosworth in the pics. (only prettier) xoxo

the easiest way to look gorgeous is to put on a dress. unfortunately most of the time it’s to cold for a dress where i live…

I’m all over these dresses in the summer too. I love this color on you and I love how you paired such a feminine frock (love that word) with the belt and tough-girl necklaces. such a great counterpoint.

I was just going through some favorite blogs, and saw your URL. So glad I visited! You’re definitely now one of my insta-favorites.
I never would have considered wedges that were completely one color, but these are AMAZING. I am completely in love with these, (and also like a shopping trip we be soon coming on, I need to find a pair!)
