Floral in Grayscale: Lapis “Floral/Leaf Print A-Line Dress” @ Overstock.com
Brand: Lapis
Color: White and Black (No other colors available)
Available at: Lapis Floral/Leaf Print A-Line Dress
Price: $30.99 
Want It: There were actually several different cuts available in this pattern, but I really like the spaghetti straps with the empire waist line in this pattern. I feel like it emphasizes all of the right places on a woman’s body while still giving her the freedom to wear a fun print that doesn’t take away from her at all.
Youthful Coats: Delias’ “Brett Belted Coat” @ Delias.com + Coupon Code!
Brand: None specified
Color: Charcoal Gray (Wine, navy, olive, black available)
Available at: Brett Belted Coat
Price: $39.99
Want It: A cute and hip coat perfect for the upcoming cooling fall temperatures, and of course, it is at a great price - over half off the original price! You know me… a bargain, a steal… I’m so there! I’m a bit irked by the fact that the model looks like a younger Cameron from House M.D., but I can get over it.

Thin & In Business: ClassicCloseouts.com “Side Button Pencil Skirt”
Brand: None specified
Color: Charcoal (No other colors available)
Available at: Side Button Pencil Skirt
Price: $12.99
Want It: Who doesn’t love a good pencil skirt? They’re so slimming. At least on the majority of people, myself, unfortunately, excluded thus far. I keep wanting to make the pencil skirt work for me, but alas, I have not yet managed that feat yet. They always seem to make me look fat and stumpy. Hm. Still, I love the look of them, so I must pass on the word to those who can make the pencil skirt look amazing.
Lingerie or Evening: MIST “3/4 Length Dress” @ YOOX.com
Brand: MIST
Color: Beige (Also in Black)
Available at: YOOX
Price: $88.00
Want It: Get your couture/luxury fill by browsing through YOOX’s sale on this/past season’s favorites. This dress, regularly $175, is so much more affordable now! It’s very simple, and I know my mom would insist this was lingerie, not a dress to be worn outside of the house. But I do love the gold/beige tones of it, and how it falls so freely and airily against the model.
Nature Looks Good: Harkham “Treescape Pleated Tank in White-Almond” @ CoutureCandy.com
Brand: Harkham
Color: White-Almond (No other colors available)
Available at: Treescape Pleated Tank in White-Almond
Price: $216.00
Want It: Have you had your fill of clothes most people can’t afford? Sigh, I never get enough of looking at them, though it does get a big rough on my heart to be unable to buy them by the truckload. This print is just amazing, because it’s busy without being overwhelming. I also love that it flatters the figure rather than distracts, since the design runs vertically. The subtle brown tie at the waist/right under the bust is a great way to further emphasize the feminine figure, which, of course, I adore.
Work It: ClassicCloseouts.com “Carpenter Shorts”
Brand: None specified
Color: Black Denim
Available at: Carpenter Shorts
Price: $8.99 
Want It: I have to tell you, ClassicCloseouts.com is a very, very dangerous site to be perusing. Especially when my boyfriend is distracted… what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him! At least when it comes to my midnight spending excursions, right? That’s rhetorical, don’t answer! These are too cute, and the price makes them completely attainable. I mean, really, black denim, skintight shorts? I’ve been playing tennis everyday for the past month, maybe another month or two will give me the thighs to rock these to the fullest extent!
Cute ‘n Casual: Hurley International “One And Only” Hoodie/Sweatshirt
Brand: Hurley International
Color: White (No other colors available)
Available at: Hurley One & Only Sweatshirt
Price: $40.00
Want It: I think one of my fall/winter guilty pleasures has to be Pacific Sunwear’s wide range of darling zip-up hoodies (I can’t tell you how enthused I was when zip-ups finally came into popularity, no more of that over-the-head pullover crap!). My taste has always been towards simplistic hoodies, so white with a small detail (logo) is right up my alley. Just cute and cuddly, and of course, thick enough for at least the early fall.

Comfy In Burmuda: Roxy “White Bermuda” @ PacSun.com
Brand: Roxy
Color: White (Also in Blue)
Available at: Roxy
Price: $34.50
Want It: There are times where you have no desire to get ready for the world, and I have to tell you, cropped sweat pants are a godsend. They’re cute and stylish, but then perfect for being a lazy bum. You can go out, be comfortable as you want, and nobody’s going to think you’re a slob or wondering what garbage can you crawled out of. I just love this length (as well as just below the knee), and I find myself with several pairs of these types of pants.

Button-Up Delight: Vanitas “Funky Short in Black” @ CoutureCandy.com
Brand: Vanitas
Color: Black (Also in White)
Available at: Funky Short in Black
Price: $156.00
Want It: Some days I really wish I was rich beyond my wildest dreams–okay, I always wish that–but some days I wish harder than others. Especially when I see these super stylish shorts with their ridiculously cute buttons on the pant leg. I realize though that this length is probably ideal for those without thunder thighs, and in which case, I should be rather glad that these aren’t readily available to me… Nonetheless, I love the detailing and style the large buttons add to it, as well as the bit of a cinch.
Sexy Jumps: Holly “Alex Short Romper with Puff Sleeves in Black” @ CoutureCandy.com
Brand: Holly
Color: Black (Also in Shrimp)
Available at: Alex Short Romper with Puff Sleeves in Black
Price: $165.00
Want It: Holly designs this overtly sexy black jumper with a plunging V-neck, but I think it would be entirely workable for the more casual person. It would be easy to add a tube top or tank top underneath to add a splash of color (and vary the ways you can wear this one-piece number). I also think it cuts at a good length on the thigh - not too short or too long. I just can’t get over how slinky this thing is, though - so sexy!
