A Rose By Any Other Name...

It's been a long week already, so today I wanted to shake things up with a really vivid outfit: a hot pink dress with the lipstick to match.

Dress:
Cynthia Steffe Charlotte Color Block Dress in "Exotic Rose"



This chic Cynthia Steffe dress is still available in black and white from Amazon - and for only $100! You can always find great deals on clothing and shoes at Amazon. If you are a price sensitive shopper like me, you will want to check out Amazon whenever you buy something. There's even an app for that.

Part of the reason I like this dress so much is the black going down each side. The black lines are very slimming! I think that's why colorblocking is so popular; many of the styles are designed to help you look more slender, and I think this particular design is very effective.

Pumps:
Kate Spade New York Licorice Pumps in Black and Gold

I saw a little girl eyeing these pumps today, most likely due to the sparkle of the gold flecks. That's part of the reason I love Kate Spade; her feminine style is often combined with little flourishes that bring you right back to your childhood.
