friday's fancies #6.

Though the holidays got in the way of my Friday's Fancies posts, never fear! I'm back with this week's edition :) With the possibility of snow tonight, this is an aggressive choice of a dress...but I couldn't help myself. I wore my first full sparkle dress on Christmas Eve--and fell in love. No, I'm not going to suddenly jump onto the pageant circuit, but I wanted the sparkly eye candy to continue. There's no harm in that right?


With two days left in the Rent The Runway giveaway, it was only appropriate to pick a dress from their website for this week. In fact, the shoes are the only item not available to rent or purchase via RTR. {Yes, they even have Spanx!} I hope you like what I picked!


{All photos are screenshots via the links below}
1) This stunning Confetti Sequins Dress by Tibi rocks my socks off. {Kristen from A Kapple A Day liked it too--it's her pick in my giveaway!} The best part is that you'd look like a million bucks without feeling the guilt of spending it! Sadly, my favorite feature of this dress isn't visible in this picture--the scoop back is killer! And I'd still be able to wear my normal "undergarments", shall we say, which is a HUGE positive in my book.
2) To offset the crazy sparkles on the dress, I knew I needed to take the accessories in a more simple direction. I chose this versatile Judith Leiber Black Magic Clutch because it has the sheen of sparkle without being too overwhelming. I also liked having a chain available, so I could be hands free while roaming the room and not constantly worrying where to put my bag.
3) + 4) Before you think I committed fashion suicide, I would not be wearing all of those bracelets at once. My intention was to take a few from the AV Max Geometric Bangle Set and add in a couple from the AV Max Metallic Silver Stack, creating a more dimensional "stack," a new term I learned from my fellow Hoya, The College Prepster.
5) Ok, I have to admit something...I don't think I'm brave enough to wear booties until I saw these fine specimens from Elizabeth & James called the Skylar Booties. They're the perfect mix of peep toe and bootie...and they got Rachel Zoe's vote, so I take that as a win. 


I'd love to have others join me in my pursuit of Friday's Fancies! If you want to take an escape today, create your dream outfit for tonight like I did and share it :) I do these collages on Picasa, which is super user-friendly. If you do one, here's a little icon that I made for you to use

If you do your own edition of Friday's Fancies, make sure to let me know :) I'd love to see what you picked! Hope each one of you have an "easy" Friday...the weekend is almost here! Yay! xoxo {av}
