Pretty Peplums for Spring

With the temperatures seeming to be consistently in our favor (in Chicago that means not freezing), I think it’s about time to start sporting those Spring trends! Seen on the Spring ’12 runways of Jason Wu, Cushnie et Ochs, Thakoon and more, peplum is in this season.

This trend is especially great for those that are “straight down” because it helps give the illusion of curves. And if you’re one that tends to be drawn to more feminine styles, it doesn’t get more feminine than a peplum! I personally like to play with feminine and edgy styles (along with a few others thrown in there) so pairing a peplum dress or skirt with a cropped leather jacket and/or some studded boots is my ideal way of sporting this trend.

Here are some of my favorite peplum pieces available right now.

Red Carpet Fashion: 2012 SAG Awards (Part 1)

Did you watch the SAG awards last night? If not, you didn’t miss anything…and plus you have me to give you all the red carpet dish. So I just saved you 4 hours…you’re welcome.

I really wish someone would work a print on the red carpet because everyone either does a solid color and it’s kinda boring or a pale skin tone color that’s super boring. However, I didn’t hate everyone’s look so let’s start judging…

Chi City Closet: The Accessories Clean Out

I wanted to make a little extra money for the holidays (I always try to out-do my gifts from the previous year) so what’s the easiest way to do that? Sell some accessories of course! I wanted to share with you the accessories that I consigned with eDrop-Off so you can have the opportunity to own a piece of Chi City Closet.

Photobucket Rene Caovilla Pink Leather & Lavender Silk Jeweled Strappy Heels

I wore these once and it was on my 19th birthday. The one thing I remember when I wore these shoes is walking down Rush Street and a little girl asked me if I was Cinderella (I also happened to be wearing a Dior tiara…yes I admit it, I still own a Dior tiara).

Photobucket Prada Pewter Metallic Leather Tote Handbag

This bag can hold everything. I love the ombre effect too…it literally goes with any outfit!

Photobucket Marc By Marc Jacbos Black Leather Hobo Handbag

I had a hard time parting with this one because I love the hardware and the interior is super unique. But after getting yet another black bag, the Celine Luggage tote, I had to part with one…and this was it!

Photobucket Manolo Blahnik Silver Leather Jeweled Strappy Heels

Another pair of shoes I only wore once, these were to my high school graduation party my best friend and I threw. We wore matching BCBG dresses; mine was blue, hers was pink. Yes, this is a sign of the times…

Photobucket Furla Green Translucent Candy Handbag

I bought the very last Furla candy bag in the Chicago store over the summer and I was beyond excited to finally own one. It’s the only stylish bag I’ve come across to withstand the Chicago weather, but I think it’s time someone else has their Furla candy bag moment.

I bought these at Barneys in LA a few years ago. I for some reason never got around to wearing them. My philosophy is that if it’s been in my closet for over a year and I haven’t worn it…it’s time to move on.

So what do you think of this Chi City Closet clean out accessories feature? I’m cleaning out my closet all the time so if you don’t win any of the auctions above, don’t worry…there’s always next time!
