Luxe Style Spotlight: Shop Sosie

Let me introduce you to Shop Sosie: a great resource for affordable trendy fashion.  If you've already heard of it, good for you:)  But hopefully I'm not the last person to find out about this oober cute site!  I stumbled across an ad for ShopSosie when I was browsing a new fashion blog....I couldn't resist clicking (my curiosity got the best of me), and I'm glad I did.

Think H&M/Forever21 prices, with more of a Shop It To Me, higher-quality, JCrew kind of feel.  LOVE.

Some of my picks:
$35
Forever Zig Zag Long Sleeve Shift Dress in Classic
$52

$26
Darcy 3/4 Square Blouse in Mint
$41
$49

Daily Zig Zag Blouse in Nautical
$38

Love Link Bracelet
$20

Bateau neck blouse in elephant

Cute, right?  They have tons of other stuff on the site, and a lot of reallllly cheap deals in their sale section.

LBD: How to get more life out of your Little Black Dress

The Little Black Dress.  For me, it's synonomous with Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's---sophisticated, alluring, and timeless.  And every woman wants to find the perfect one.  So how do we end up with over a dozen different kinds in our closets?  Most of the time it's because we need a black dress to fit a particular function or purpose.

But what if you could take the same black dress, and use it in 5 different ways?  This isn't a ground-breaking concept, but I'll show you how to get five different looks out of an example of one of my favorite classic black dresses.

This is Part I of a five part LBD post series..... so stay tuned.  Over the next few weeks I'll be posting 4 more dresses, showing 5 different ways to wear each dress.  The idea is that by the end of the series, you'll have 20 different looks!
