The Sunday Social - The 4th Edition

   What is your favorite store to shop at?

Nordstrom, it happens to be really convenient and they carry many of my favorites :) 

     If you could afford anything and everything, which designer

    brand would you covet? 

Chanel 

Must have closet staple?

A great nude heel

Favorite kind of shoes? 

I must give Mr. Stewart Weitzman some major credit, of all of the wonderful shoes I own, his tend to consistently be the most comfortable. I love, love, love any heel 4" and higher :)

Best clothing deal you've ever gotten? 

I have to admit I have never had incredible luck at finding wonderful things on sale, but I did fall madly head over heels in love with my Valentino coat and dress! 

Style you'd love to try?

I like to vary my style, somtimes I lean to boho chic other times I like to keep it simple and conservative. If there's a style I fancy I give it a go, that's the FUN of fashion!

Sassy, classy & colorful :) 

Much love,

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Here is what I threw together for this evening. I wish you all a wonderful beginning to 2012, may this be a year of much love, happiness and joy!

I found this very cute French Connection dress on sale at Nordstrom's the other day and I thought it was perfect for this evening. 

I love the back as it has the most adorable black bows! It makes this rather simple dress a bit more interesting, especially since this is a detail that you only see from the back. 

I paired my dress with my Valentino ruffles and bow coat, happily used my new Louis de Paule and I was out the door for an evening of fun!

Happy New Year, 

Lady Elizabeth Grace

Bows, Ruffles, and Sparkles

I have always had somewhat of an obsession with bows, ruffles, and all things sparkly and lately it seems as though Valentino and Prada have been channeling my obsessions straight into their designs. 

Bows

I recently attended Nordstrom's evening with Valentino where they introduced their Fall collection and  this adorable bow key chain was given as the favor

Ruffles

When I saw this dress it was love at first sight. I don't think I have loved a dress nearly as much since I found my wedding dress. Its ruffles and delicate details literally make my heart swoon. I can't wait to wear it for the holiday's!

Bows & Ruffles

My little black dress was living alongside this amazing coat when I fell head over heels in love. Both of these pieces are part of Valentino's Red Collection which is nothing short of divine. This piece was modeled both as a dress and as a coat at the Valentino event and I can't wait to wear it both ways. Some tall spiked black boots can easily turn this into a fierce and feisty look, whereas tights and heels maintain a sweeter and more demure aesthetic. 

Bows & Sparkles

Talk about the dynamic duo, when I saw these I knew they were a must for my collection.  Bows and sparkles! I have actually worn these a ton since I acquired them and I have had more people stop me to tell me how adorable they are than you can imagine. Every person that has approached me has done so with a smile and that has made my day, because my shoes are little thing that have made not only me smile but they've made other smile too!
