Spoiled Lil' LA girl...

I realized something a few days ago. Some of the stuff that people consider shallow are a few of my favorite things. I love clothes... and I doubt that makes me shallow, it just means I look better than the folks that feel that way... lol. Onto the vanity...

We have about a month of summer left, which kinda bums me out. I am all about a good sundress and some great sandals but with Fall comes the chance to bring back boots.

Studs are on a quiet comeback. These boots kinda give an expensive, rockchick, badass vibe on a budget. Bakersshoes.com for.... drum roll please... $169.99.

And since we're going badass... put those boots over

Silence and Noise jeans from Urban Outfitters. There's something sexy & retro about a bleached up skinny jean. Makes me want to find one of those pocket combs that flip out like a switch blade (I said look like a badass, not be a badass... lol).

That jean & boot combination could work a few different ways. Believe it or not, I think its very possible to glam up those pieces with

In my last post, I bared part of my sole, declaring my love for ruffles. I really do love them & it increases by 5 fold with this blouse. The edge of the ruffle is trimmed with a zipper. PURE GENIUS! The other great thing about this blouse is that it could work for a few different looks, including work if you grabbed a pencil skirt (depending on how bold you were, in a color like fushia...stick with me... today's theme is badass!) Topshop.com- a great $70 investment.

There was no way I could say the word badass & not mention

RHIANNA! She is the ultimate in badass. I want these jeans!!! Singer22.com.. all I need now is a mohawk...


and these shoes. These are definitely bad girl chic- $109.95 at SteveMadden.com. One thing I hope you've learned by now is that I shop smart- $109 works for me. I get the look I want and no buyer's remorse- lol.

Finish off the look with

You can't ever go wrong with a great white t-shirt. The shape of this one is a bit fancier than just a man's shirt. I love my men's small v-necks but sometimes you gotta make sure you're a little more lady like. Pulling off this look, you def want people to think of tough, sexy & stylish. The boys should want to get you on the back of their bikes (or Vespas...)

This fall, my goal is to really invest in some stuff I can look forward to keeping. I have been a disposable clothing gal for a while & it may be time to grow on up. I have been checking out Chickdowntown.com and have posted a few things from their site. They have some Black Orchid jeans I might start with. Come into the light....

I am giving away a pair of sexy jeans by Current/Elliott from Chickdowntown.com. They have a pair of hot bleached jeans that inspired my new sense of investment shopping... add them on Twitter or Facebook (instead of working at work today...).

Thank you Kanye for writing a song about me...

More about me...

I love stripes too. I kinda said that in my last post and included all my other faves, namely ruffles. Today is no different than any other; I am wearing a ruffle- no b.s. So in between flushing out ideas & singing Michael Jackson songs at work today, I pulled some fuzz-inducing stripes... check it out...


If I was going out & wanted to wear stripes (which I would- lol), I would so buy this LAMB "Sweet Striped" dress. The bust line is flattering & could work on pretty much any shape. A lady with a large bust could make this work because it wouldn't over expose your cleavage. A girl with a little extra curves could pull this off too because the stripes aren't horizonal plus the colors are warm. Shopbop.com- $345.

I absolutely love stripes, I can't say it enough.. but team some stripes up with some heavy cleavage and I'm proposing! I'm gonna marry this shirt!

PinkMascara.com did a great thing getting this shirt on their site. I wanna buy them all! Skinny horizontal stripes AND a huge dip for cleave is wonderful. This top, some sexy skinny jeans & some great pumps could shut the spot down! This is also a top you could pair up with some shorts & have a cute weekend outfit. "Twelfth Street U-Neck" in black & white makes me happy! ($151.20)

There's no reason not to have an easy yet cute dress to throw on in a clutch. This is that dress

FredFlare.com, "Chevron Striped Spaghetti Dress" works. A cool colored pair of Havaianas or a jazzy pair of flip flops make this a cool early Sunday brunch or a "damn, it's Monday... gotta go to work" dress. At $57.99, it's very doable.

What do you think???

Erica "Striped & Ruffled" Orange

Oh Mom!

Anyone who knows me, knows I have a list of favorite things. Mexican food, champagne scented candles, OPI nailpolish, some bangles & a piece of clothing with stripes or ruffles are must haves. My mother laughs at me all the time because everything I wear at all times incorporates a bunch of stripes or a ruffle- no bullshit! So while shopping at the Mall of My Mind this week, I decided to "buy" ruffles- lookie lookie!

White is the sexiest when its a light weight fabric. Its so resort-esque & just makes you think of something clean.

Here is all of that in one dress- it makes me want to drink a margarita with salt on the rim while standing under a wicker umbrella while standing on terracotta tile. Its from singer22.com- Jen's Pirate Booty Dress. Get on the site for the price (I forgot to write it down because I was just so pumped about it- lol.)

I've posted before about shiny legs & their importance... here's one reason why...

There's a white one, a tan one, a khaki one & a black one- I like the tan one. Bebe.com- at $59, you can afford a couple.

Throw in some puffy sleeves (another favorite...)

This color would be amazing with that skirt. Lauren by Ralph Lauren "Jennie"-

Rompers are definitely the ish right now- throw a ruffle at one then make it coral and...

VOILA!!! Asos.com one shoulder ruffle playsuit $64.98! This is a great piece to dress up or down. In spite of the price, it looks expensive.


Chickdowntown.com is the shit!!!! I found this jumpsuit by Alice+Olivia that makes so much sense. I see wearing it during the summer with some gladiators that come up my chin or maybe a super sexy pair of 5 inchers. Then as the weather changes, grab some tights and cute pumps with an ankle strap. Its definitely a good investment-

I'm officially hooked on Twitter & Facebook. My goal is to have a Twitter page & maybe a Facebook page for this blog. In the coming weeks, look for me. I added a couple new favorite websites to my bookmarks, Chickdowntown.com (where I found the last jumpsuit)is at the top of the list. They have a Twitter (which I get Tweets from to let me know what I should lust after) & a Facebook (which I know you are probably on right now in another window- lol). They carry a million hot lines including ABS by Allen Schwartz, Alice+Olivia (which is that jumper) & Current Elliot Jeans... which by the way I have a pair of for one of my readers...

Stay tuned & happy shopping!
