Arden B mint green top

Arden B mint green top…(FYI, this image is NOT me)…I got this image from the website to show what it looks like. You can still purchase it, the top also comes in a solid black and/or white.

I purchased this top over the weekend from Arden B (yes, you can still purchase it and luckily it’s also on sale now).  I went there looking for something new to wear for Easter and bought this on impulse after trying it on being that I loved it so very much.  Turns out, I did wear this on Easter paired with my David Lerner black leggings, Christian Louboutin nude lace up heels, and some opulent jewelry .  I didn’t get the opportunity to capture the outfit but trust me, I will be wearing this sweater top a lot this season so I will eventually showcase it in an upcoming [OUtfit Post].

Style Confession:  Although mint green is majorly trending right now, I have always had a love for mint green. It’s one of my favorite colors so I’m really happy that it’s much easier to find during my shopping expeditions.

Besides the color, I LOVE exposed shoulders (such as cut outs as seen here or off shoulder tops).  The style is very interesting and hard to come by for some reason.

PS- Believe it or not, I bought this top in a size large.  They only had a large and XS but being I like my tops a little longer in length, I went with the size large.  It actually didn’t even look like a large, I picked up it thinking it was a small or medium and then was completely fooled by the label.  Goes to show, you have to ALWAYS try something on, every piece is made differently, so sizes always vary.

[Style Vault] – Miu Miu Gold Rhinestone T-Strap Heels

Posted in FASHION, MELI'S FAB FINDS, MELI'S STYLE VAULT, MIU MIU, SHOES, SHOPPING on November 12, 2012 by stylebymeli

Head over heels (quite literally) for these Miu Miu gold rhinestone heels

I haven’t contributed much to my [Style Vault] lately although this does not mean I haven’t been shopping (actually, I have been really good in more recent months…really I have been).  However, over the weekend I discovered a new boutique in Princeton, NJ where I found this GORGEOUS pair of Miu Miu heels.  They might as well have screamed, “Meli!!!” as they totally have my name all over it.  I love anything with gold and rhinestones and a sky high heel too of course.  I’m 50/50 when it comes to t-strap but with the right dress or black leggings…these are HOT!

FYI, I’m a total shoe addict, designer shoes are my guilty pleasure of choice.  That and a fabulous handbag.  (Ok, who am I kidding, I have a ton of fashion guilty pleasures but designer shoes truly top my list)!!!  

Photos really do not do these shoes enough justice. I can say they are amazing in person and even more amazing on. Thrilled to add this to my designer shoe collection!

[Style Vault] – Lilly Pulitzer High Waist Pink Giraffe Print Shorts

Posted in FASHION, MELI'S FAB FINDS, MELI'S STYLE VAULT, SHOPPING, SHORTS with tags , , , on June 18, 2012 by stylebymeli

Today, I purchased this lovely pair of high waist shorts by Lilly Pulitzer.  I’ve always admired her bright, preppy, chic prints and thought these shorts were simply darling.  I love a good pair of printed shorts to begin with and being they are high waisted, it just makes them that much better.  I already figured out exactly how I’m going to style these and think they will be perfect  for casual daytime wear along with for traveling purposes.

[Style Vault] – Hot Pink Satin Clutch

Posted in CONSIGNMENT STORES, FASHION, HANDBAGS, MELI'S FAB FINDS, MELI'S STYLE VAULT, SHOPPING on May 19, 2012 by stylebymeli

I was ecstatic to discover this hot pink clutch at a local consignment shop and was immediately drawn in by the intensity of the color.  It’s seriously the perfect bright pink!  Although it is meant to be used as an evening bag, I can definitely find ways to incorporate this for more casual going out purposes.  

It appears to be vintage, but still in immaculate condition.  It also has a thin gold chain strap which gives me a styling alternative besides using it as a clutch.

[Style Vault] – Rhinestone and Chain Statement Necklace

Posted in CONSIGNMENT STORES, FASHION, JEWELRY, MELI'S FAB FINDS, MELI'S STYLE VAULT, SHOPPING on May 10, 2012 by stylebymeli

I just purchased this necklace a couple weeks ago from a local consignment boutique in my area.  I must have spotted it like a mile away (how can one not?).  I gravitated to it in an instant because of its intricate design and eye-catching bling-ing effect.  I have always said, “It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that bling!”  

The necklace is just so fabulously flashy and beautiful to look at!  I have never seen anything like it, which is why there was no doubt in mind that this needed a good home…(in my closet)! ;)

When I went ahead to purchase it, I actually said to the owner, “I’m not quite sure how I’m going to wear this, but I know I’ll find a way to make this work!”  

I like fashion pieces that not only make a statement, but also leave me a little perplexed and challenge me to find various ways of styling it.

I have worn this necklace once so far with a simple mainly all black outfit and look forward to featuring this in a future [Outfit Post].
