Faded Denim Jacket

Style Finds! Here's to wrapping up a great, joyus morning with the family and friends. Now, it's almost 8 PM, and you're probably wanting to ease into an Easter Sunday-esque evening outfit that's stylish yet family-ready (Know what I mean?)

Style Advice: Try a cute floral dress with a fab hat (tights is you must) — and you might want to throw on a chic denim jacket; it's a bit chilly outside.

Happy Easter! XoXo :) nikki

ACNE [OAK EXCLUSIVE]

Style Find! Is my style becoming predictable in terms of my preferred footwear? Yes...? Good. So then you'll know that I would drop everything to slide my feet into these Black Platform Pocket Highway Booties. Seriously, I'm absolutely in love with Acne.

These Don't Belong in a Shoe Museum, They Belong on My Feet!

Style Find! I spotted these side-zip beauties in the Shoe Museum alongside all types of unwearable, experimental, freaky-deeky shoes. 

However, this boot (above) is wearable-to-the-max. I would love them in brown, but I have sOoOo many brown boots; sky blue would add a cool splash of color to the wardrobe mix!

'The Billy'By Designer Annejet Kosters

Style Find! This is just absolutely ridiculous. Sorry. Why would you? How could you? Check this: I challenge whomever decides to wear these — to walk on gravel somewhere in Texas while it’s about 105 degrees of dry heat outside. 

Okay. Okay. Giving the designer the benefit of the doubt ... I don't think this shoe was meant to be worn in public, but rather just a showcase thing. Though I could see Rihanna rockin' The Billy in a futuristic-type (alien-like) video, which could potentially be hot.

Throw 'Em Some CRYSTAL SHADE

Style Find! Any brave individual that chooses to wear these sunglasses in public is not only fearless, but is definitely making a serious fashion statement.

Statement Piece: Big, Black and Bold

Style Find! This striking Black-Gold Triangle Necklace is yet another fab piece from Nicole Richie's House of Harlow 1960 jewelry line. 

I'm in favor of accessories that transition effortlessly from day to evening — and this piece offers that smooth changeover.

The Muse: A Comic Book?

Style Find! I am at a loss for words. I've seen some pretty outlandish fashion, but never seen anything quite like this. (I wonder what inspired such a design?) 

The Spanish Comic-Book Platform is super creative. But would I wear it...? Like outside in public...? Probably not. Anyways, in lieu of Sunday morning funnies, want to hear something really comical? The featured shoe is selling at a high price of $750. 

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Busy Belted Jacket

Style Find! Check out this awesome Vintage Belt-Assembled Jacket, courtesy of Belgian fashion designer, Martin Margiela.

Very interesting jacket. 

Hm. Since the piece is already busy with straps, belts and buckles, it’s comforting that the multi-colors consist of warm earthy tones rather than bright blinding colors. I'd wear it!

Thong Bootie by Dolce Vita

(Hot) Style Find! A 'thong' bootie? Dolce Vita deserves a kiss for this one. 

Love the zippers, so check. Funky...? Check. Trendy...? Check. But...! Don’t forget the pedicure ladies, because your toes will be exposed in these thongs. *ahem* Jacked up feet and chipped toenail polish will destroy the look of the bootie — and that’s just wrong.

Combo Harem Pant ($99)

Style Find! Finally...a harem pant I can work with; the crotch is not too (throwback) MC Hammer-ish. 

Despite what the fashion critics might say, I think this look is fresh and youthful, and can be incredibly cute with a little creative styling.

A Sweet V-Day Treat - Color: Red Berry

Style Find! Do you need ideas for a perfect Valentine’s Day outfit? No worries. Try slipping into this sexy silk Sleeveless Shirt Minidress via BCBG, $198. 

The crossover v-neck caught my attention instantaneously, as the cut is crisp and tailored to perfection. And how cute are the front flap pockets?

RacerBack Cargo Jumpsuit - Rachel Roy

Style Find! The RacerBack Cargo Jumpsuit (w/mesh top) is a new Rachel Rachel Roy arrival priced at $139.

This jumper looks incredibly comfortable. And regarding the styling, it's on-point, the hint of red pumps up the volume.

Trend Watch: The T-Shirt Dress

Photo Credit: ASOS

Style Find! Could the T-Shirt Dress be a hot new trend for Summer 2010? Perhaps. Here's what I think of t-shirt dresses: effortless style with the potential to be 100 percent versatile—dress it up or down!

The emerging trend has been spotted on the runways of BCBGMAXAZRIA, Alexander Wang and 3.1 Phillip Lim.

But c'mon, we all know that designer anything can be a bit expensive. So shop the featured look for less at ASOS for $30.59. That's pretty IN-expensive!

Details: belted t-shirt jersey dress in purple, also available in nude.

New Arrival: ZAP

Style Find! "Zap" is part of the Spring/Summer 2010 Jimmy Choo shoe collection (coming soon). I love this shoe, but it's way too expensive - $2,495.00.

New Arrival: GENAROSE

Style Find! Neutral colors are so in for spring! And my dark brown eyes are fixated on this sexy Taupe Suede strapp-y heel from Nine West. The shoe is completely transitional - taking her from day to evening with total ease.
