style cuddle: calamity jane

pussy bow tie shirt // nigela flower garland wrap // dolce vita jameson shoes

one of my favourite movies growing up was calamity jane. i remember my mum and i would watch it over & over again in our london flat. i would dream that one day i too would be a cowgal out west. these days, the closest i get to my childhood western dream is grabbing a frozen margarita at cowgirl on hudson st and listening to a tim mcgraw song. 

but when i saw this pussy bow shirt, i felt my inner jane pitter patter! 

(i also stumbled on this free people vintage fringe jacket, but for nyc i think it might be a bit much...)

glitter & gold

if you know me well, i cannot leave the house without something sparkly. and you know, i'm more than okay with that. for today's post, i found myself inspired by this fun look (found on tumblr). i think the skirt is this american apparel number, but it only comes in one size and it's a tad too big for me (#fashiongirlproblems, anyone?).

so to get this look i'm going after this topshop prom dress & how splendid are these ban.do accessories? it's the queen's jubilee so a tiara is utterly appropriate this season. style cuddle says so (winky face!). throw on a vintage blazer (the best kind!) to complete the look. i recommend searching on etsy to find something, like this or this.

et voila!

still in need of a glitter & gold fix? just follow my glitter & gold pinterest board.
xo xo, style cuddle

jaspar & jeera, part deux

the jaspar & jeera bag line at anthroplogie is such a fun and affordable handbag line. you may remember this post where i coveted this beaded hobo, but these new purses are just as fun...

available online: detailed hobo bag, beaded clutch, and the blue & yellow pouches (i love the pom pom detail!)

so you think you can (cap) dance

when i was little i'd watch fred astaire and ginger rogers movies on repeat and pretend in the playground i knew all the right steps. now with the capped toe trend in footwear, here's to dreaming like a kid again! 

 1. asos ladybug toe cap neon ballet shoes // 2. kate spade tabby bow shoe // 3. topshop  "magpie" toe capped shoes // 4. webster for target cap toe flat // 5. french connection pompei contrast toe ballet flat

if ballet slippers aren't your thing, how about a little do it yourself project with an old pair of oxfords (or a cheap pair like these) and some paint?

(i just adore this diy project danielle did for minkette!)

(ever so slightly) naughty & nice

i noticed the other day i am collecting quite a few lacy clothes: a dress, a top, and even a pair of shorts. you could say i am obsessed! and now, i'm loving these two darling dresses...
