Buying is a pretty easy process for Marnie and I, we have our system down pat and we pretty much agree on all our style choices. Filippa K Fall 2012 is full of color and sure to be a crowd pleaser….now you’ll just have to wait until July to see how hard we worked this morning!!!!!!!

Check out this lavender sweater with pearl detailing.  Sooooo pretty… and clearly making Amanda feel all bashful… or perhaps she is just taking the opportunity to flash her ridiculously long eyelashes again?  Either way, the look works as far as I’m concerned! And did I mention how reasonably priced the line is?  This sweater retails for $145.

First, the front.

It’s a black skirt, with a flattering ivory/nude/natural/beige/greige/taupe top.  BUT it’s not a skirt and a top.  It’s A DRESS. 

And now the back.

Kind of romantic, a little more flowy, with the tiniest bit of back showing.  And you can wear a bra.  Magic.  Wouldn’t it look amazing with red lipstick and maybe some coloured accessories?  Right? 

Now let’s take a look at it on a surly model.

Why does she look so unhappy?  Because I don’t want her at a wedding if she’s going to look like that.  It’s almost as if she’s sneering. 

Wait a minute.  Did she date the groom, like 8 years ago, and it didn’t really work out, and they remained friends, but not really, but it’s a big wedding, and she made the invite list?  But now the groom is totally regretting it because she is just such a sourpuss. 

But remarkably, the bride is just like “Whatevs.  I’m SO happy, and having such an awesome day, and her dress is SUPES cute, and so I’m going to ignore that look, and grab her hand and make her dance with me and my best friends, and she’s going to end up having the best time, and hooking up with my brother.”

And then the groom is going to be reminded AGAIN just why he loves the bride SO much, because she is ALWAYS the bigger, better person in these situations, and everyone ends up loving her.  And they live happily ever after.  (As do the once-surly model and the bride’s brother, by the way).

The end.

WRONG

I definitely needed this one, so do you…so does everyone, its so freakin’ awesome. See, from the front you have your basic, flattering, collard chambray shirt but then all of a sudden….

BAM!!!!!!!!!! 

The back is this super cute, lace/not your Grandmothers crochet, (still) flattering and somewhat sassy fabric. It’s unlike any other denim shirt you have ever owned…..trust me, I would know!!!!!

Free People Shirt, $170, Joe’s Jeans $218 -25%

Also new in store a couple of pieces from Line & Dot.  We actually received BOTH the top and the skirt in this photo… which, like, SO never happens!  The top is the sheerest pinky-peach colour and the skirt is a sheer navy, midi length (what isn’t these days?).  Pretty together, but also amazing when you pair the top with jeans and the skirt with a simple tank.  Top is $115 and skirt it $125
