Hera Black Flower Dress

I have a trip to New Orleans planned later this month and I have promised myself to not buy anything new clothing-wise until then because there happen to be several shops that I like to visit. And I don't do window-shopping very well, so inevitably I end up buying a few items. So, I will have to simply admire this Hera Black Flower Dress for now because spending $326 is just not in the cards for me right now. If you are able to add it to your closet (so jealous) immediately and by immediately I mean before April 2nd, be sure to take advantage of the spring sale code (springsale) so you can get 20% off, which lessens the hit your budget will take. And don't sleep on the back of this dress, which I wasn't expecting.

Fend off the Rain in Zebra Stripes

How fabulous is this Via Spiga belted sateen coat? As much as I have hoped otherwise, my masterplan of willing warmer temperatures has not worked to my liking and I have found myself needing a coat for the past three days (again). This coat would look amazing with just about anything, from dresses to jeans and Bluefly has almost every size imaginable in stock.

Renae Dress

This dress is so fun and preppy and I almost missed it. Guess prominently features the red, white, and blue one on their site. Thank goodness that I checked it out, because as chic as the American version is, I prefer the navy and green one and its less than $100.

Joy Gryson's Bags at Target

I was really looking forward to checking out the Jovovich-Hawk line for Target when it finally became available earlier this month, but was a little disappointed at what I was able to check out in person at my local store (which is a common issue I face when I attempt to pick up stuff at H&M too). Ultimately, I ended up ordering a few things online (thank God for online shopping). So, I am crossing my fingers that the new limited edition handbag collection for Target by Joy Gryson, who has worked with Marc Jacobs, Coach, and Calvin Klein, is available for me to check out in person. I personally like to check out handbags in person (size is so hard to get a good handle on via the Web). The pieces will be available April 6th (a week from today) and the prices will range from $19.99 to $49.99. Fab Sugar has some images of what the new collection will entail, so check it out. I can't wait!

Silk Cap-Sleeve Dress at Banana Republic

This dress at Banana Republic has been pictured in almost every magazine that I subscribe to. I have always been very iffy on whether or not this color would work for my complexion and hair color. But its on sale now, so I think I might be willing to take a shot on it. I really love the cap-sleeves and pockets, but its definitely in a shade of yellow that is not for a shrinking violet. The only other thing outside of the color that has given me pause is the fact that its 100% silk and silk can be unforgiving on my figure, but the dress is fully lined so hopefully the lining addresses that concern. I truly love the view from the back, particularly the top of the dress.

Abaete Rita Dresses

I am a huge admirer of Rachel Bilson. I think she's adorably chic and always looks put together both on and off the red carpet. If you haven't seen Last Kiss with her and Zach Braft, I highly recommend adding it to your Netflix list, but I digress. Rachel wore this Abaete strapless Rita dress to the Awake premiere and I fell in love with it when I first saw photos of her with it on. Shop Intuition offers it in the white and blue option, which she donned, but the pink and black combo is equally as hot.
