Music Monday: Victoria Beckham

For today's Music Monday post, I decided to go with a throwback Victoria Beckham track (circa 2003). While few Americans know that VB had post-Posh music career, she released music in Europe that was really fun and sexy. In true Posh style, the video for "Let Your Head Go" is totally cheeky and high fashion... definitely note the whole "Mommie Dearest" nod.

Hmm, I kinda prefer nice wooden hangers in my own closet. ;) Uh oh.

Of course, Victoria has long traded in her music career for designing... and her pieces are just as fabulous as you'd expect. Love the following dresses from her S/S 2012 collection. Fantastic silhouettes in classic nudes and blacks. Gorg.

Birthday Dress

I'm absolutely in love with my birthday dress, an ivory Free People Battenburg Lace Slip that I purchased from Nordstrom last month. I plan on wearing an ivory slip underneath mine, rather than a nude one (as shown styled below, left). Since I'm headed to Miami to celebrate, this dress is perfect for warm weather and tan skin. And while I'm perfectly aware that you shouldn't wear white before Memorial Day, I'm making an etiquette exception and wearing it regardless. Rules are meant to be broken, anyway. ;)

Another reason why I adore my Free People dress? It looks SO similar to J. Crew's $495 Heirloom Shift Dress (right), but for $49.95 at freepeople.com (regularly $78), it's an absolute steal!

UPDATE: Neiman Marcus' Last Call has it for $34.50 (on sale for $46 + 25% off + free shipping code LCAPRFS) here! Valid through 4-25-11.

Ready For Spring... Already!

Words can't express how much I adored Valentino's couture lineup for Spring 2010. Body-conscious but flowy, the silhouettes were incredibly sexy but still very wearable. To me, the collection's colors are what made this collection so special... I love how striking the neons are when paired with neutrals. Love it, and hoping next spring will continue the feminine, brightly colored trend- D&G's 2011 RTW collection (see below) gives me hope! Now it's just a matter of waiting for winter to end... but then I guess it has to begin before it ends, right? ;)
