Going For Gold

My +1 and I have been invited to a "gold" themed Gala at the end of the month, and unfortunately I don't own a gold dress. I could re-wear my plunging black neckline with gold shoes and accessories, and I also have a friend who has offered to let me borrow a beautiful strapless gold Vera Wang. However, I'm kind of in the mood for a new dress, so I thought I would do some browsing. It never hurts to browse, right...

Here are a few of the options I've found. Given that I don't need a dress, I'm trying to stick with a budget under $100.

The first three are on eBay and are all under $100.

This dress is on super sale on Shopbop. I worry it might be a bit short though.

And then there is always Rent the Runway. I really like this dress, and the rental is only $85.

I'll be sure to share what I end up wearing after the event!

Sleep Tight

I love Pajamas! Long sleeve, luxiourious cotton and completely un-sexy pajamas. My favorite pair I received from Katie a few years back for Christmas. They are Tory Burch, and I love them; so much that I've worn holes through them and have had them repaired.

I am always on the hunt for new pajamas, and when I was introduced to the brand Three J NYC I was immediately smitten.  Three J NYC was founded by Alexandria (Ali) McLeod. She named the line after her siblings—sister Jamie, and brothers Jeff and John. "Pajamas were a big part of Ali's childhood. Whether it was the smell of shampoo on her and her siblings' freshly washed hair after a bath, playing in footed pajamas before bed, or waking up on weekend mornings to pancakes piled high with whipped cream, maple syrup and fresh strawberries (her mother's specialty), many of her most favorite childhood memories take place in pajamas."

Three J NYC sells online at Shopbop as well as on their website. Here are a few of my favorites.

Light Hearted

I'm not sure what it is about this Marc by Marc Jacobs Light Hearted dress, but I think it is so cute. It would be the perfect day dress for sight-seeing (we are going to Chicago in May), a summer brunch or for an evening get together with friends. 

I love the hearts, the pleats and the detail on the back....now if I could only make $458 magically appear to pop this little number in my closet!
