(Btw, thank you for sending all of your Dating & Fashion Q’s, I have over 800 waiting to be answered and will totes get to them, promise!). Since I have lived on the east side of Manhattan for what feels like forevz, I totes knew the perfect outy…

Boyod ‘Elisabeth’ Embellished Tunic, Tory Burch Metallic Mini Bag, 7 For All Mankind Roll Up Short in Clean White, Jimmy Choo ‘Patriot Pat’ Platform Espadrille

WHAT: Embellished Tunic, White Cuffed Shorts, Espadrilles, Metallic Mini Handbag.

WHERE: Manhattan – East Side from 34th to 96th Streets.

WHY: The embellished tunic offers just the right amount of understated sexy without being sloppy or slutty (both preppy no-no’s). Pairing it with white cuffed shorts (must be cuffed to keep it looking tailored, a prep must) still keeps this outfit within the 40%  rule. Adding a pair of espadrilles (the higher the better) will give you the perf sultry leg you need to balance out the tunic coverage.  Finish the outy with a metallic mini-bag to add an extra sparkle of luxe.

P.S. – This outfit also works perfectly if your date wants to do a spontaneous trip to the Hamptons. And what’s more preppy than the Hamptons? Done.

Dahlings, what would you wear for a cute & preppy DNO? 

preppy kissies,

Fall is around the corner which means you dahlings need to update your Date Night Outfit wardy…STAT. Summer is usually a slow dating season, but when September rolls around – so does a new crop of beaus!  Here are some perf dresses for you to wear for a Fall First Date…

Wear something RED. Black is slimming & nude is safe, but a red dress will bring out your inner STAR.

ASOS Ponti Pencil Dress with Pockets

Wear some LEATHER. Not the  S&M cheese-fest kind (yet, anyway) but something super chic with accents of leather.   

DVF Christina Leather Accent Dress

 Lace is GREAT. This dress shows some delish cleave but has longer sleeves so you’re not showing too much skin (a dating DON’T).

NightCap Deep V Lace Dress

MG has a new Fall  video series coming out! Date Night Outfits with my fav fashion blogger dolls – coming soon, my lovelies <3

Which dress would you dahlings wear on Fall First Date?

Date night kissies,

Hearts to dahling Greta Eagan for taking these pics <3

I lah-huv white trenches for Spring/Summer bc they are so effortlessly chic. This is one of my favs bc it has three-quarter length, ruffled  sleeves – totes adorbs! I wore a short black & white floral shift dress underneath (although you can wear this trench as a dress, which I just may do one of these days). To finish off the black & white summer ensemble, I added my black & white Gucci suede & leather pumps & a fabulush Gucci clutch. And…who doesn’t love a gorgeous Midtown rooftop as a backdrop?

Outfit: Bebe White Trench, Gucci Pumps & Gucci Evening Clutch

Have you dahlings ever worn a trench as a dress?

So…ever wonder what guys notice about you immediately when you first meet them? Well, wonder no more, dolls!

Cosmo breaks down what the darling gents pay attention to, as soon as they set their eyes on us…

Cosmo’s “The 6 Things Guys Notice 6 Seconds After You Meet”
by Ky Henderson – source

1. Your Smile

Does it seem sweet and genuine? Does it seem awkward and forced? Does it seem like you ate a sesame-seed and parsley salad for lunch based on what’s lodged between every single one of your teeth?

Photobucket

2. Your Hair

Guys have no idea what split ends are, and if you mention roots, they just think of the band. But they do look to see if your hair looks 1. soft and 2. as though it would smell good. So don’t request “The Gosselin” at the salon, and wash it every so often. That’s all guys ask.

Photobucket

3. Your Cleavage

Newsflash: Dudes like to look at your chest. Now, that’s not to say they think all women should unbutton their shirts to their bellybuttons at funerals. (Though really, who are guys to judge?) But they will notice how you’re showing off what you’ve got.

Photobucket

4. Your Makeup

If you’re wearing so much makeup that it looks like you’ve painted an entirely new face on top of your actual face, guys will wonder if you’re trying to cover up some bizarre deformation — or if you’re Gotham City’s most dangerous criminal mastermind.

Photobucket

5. Your Skin

You know that blemish you’ve been obsessing over all day because it’s so huge? Chances are guys won’t even notice. What will they notice? If you look like a jaundiced Oompa-Loompa because of overenthusiastic tanning.

Photobucket

6. Your Bag

Are all women who haul around big purses — in other words, cavernous rucksacks stuffed full of old receipts, emergency sweaters, and half-used bottles of hand sanitizer — high maintenance? Maybe not. But guys will go ahead and assume they are anyway.

Dahlings – what do you think is the 1st thing a guy notices about you?

kissies,

I mean – who wouldn’t want to snag our own version of Chase Crawford – HELLO)!
BoldOr try to anyway – LOL ;-)

Glamour.com’s “Clothes That Get the Guy”:
SOURCE

Let Sheer Stuff Peek Out
I LOVE the color of this Burberry Prorsum dress for Spring.
Looking for wedgies in this color – any suggestions?

Petticoat, Betsey Johnson; dress, Burberry Prorsum; headband, Bando; gloves, Gaspar Gloves; socks, We Love Colors; shoes, Christian Louboutin. On Crawford: suit, shirt, Dior Homme; sunglasses, Dolce & Gabbana.

Pants on a Date? They’re a Do!
I’m more of a dress girl when it comes to dates (most guys heart girls in dresses I think, no?), but I do love how the bright pink makes this outy POP. House of Holland has been on my radar for some time now – this coat: FABULUSH!
Trousers, blouse, Ralph Lauren Blue Label; coat, House of Holland; hat, Hats by Selima; tie, Ralph Lauren; socks, Hue. On Crawford: tie, Dion Signature Collection; coat, boots, Dior Homme.

Pick a Lingerie-ish Dress
Hmm…nah. I prefer to be a bit more on the conservative side on this one. But the color of this Giles dress is PERFECTION – one of my favs!

Dress, Giles; flower clip, Tarina Tarantino; socks, We Love Colors; shoes, Christian Louboutin. On Crawford: tie, Dior Homme.
Let Your Mini Flirt for You
Totally! This Betsey Johnson Mini is cute as hell, plus you can mix and match it with tights & platform pumps/booties. Speaking of shoes: how many of you wear your pumps/booties with little socks? I wanted to try this myself with a new mini I just bought….
Jacket, T-shirt, skirt, Betsey Johnson; necklace, Aurelie Bidermann; cuff, Stella McCartney; socks, We Love Colors; shoes, Brian Atwood; bag, Philip Treacy.

Fact: Men Love Red
Hmm – not all men. I have dated some that hated it, but who cares! Wear what makes YOU feel like a million bucks – like the Loubies in this pic…dying ;-)
Coat, Tommy Hilfiger; skirt, Blugirl by Blumarine; flower hair clip, Tarina Tarantino; necklace, M Missoni; pink flower pin, Bando; socks, We Love Colors; shoes, Christian Louboutin for 3.1 Phillip Lim.

Show Off Your Waist
YES, YES & YES! I do this a lot since I have boobs & a bootay, so cinching the waist totally flatters my figure…yay!
Dress, biker shorts, Louis Vuitton; hat, Hats by Selima; necklaces, Aurelie Bidermann; socks, We Love Colors; shoes, Dior. On Crawford: watch, Omega.

Mix Your Little Top With a Sequined Piece
I would prefer the sequins worn in a tank or cute top. These pants are a little too Chelsea-rave club for moi…
Top, RED Valentino; leggings, New York Couture; headband, Lizzie Fortunato Jewelxw; socks, We Love Colors; shoes, Christian Louboutin.

Ruffles Are Everywhere—Have Fun!
Yes, have fun!! Though it would be insane to wear this dress on a date, you would be insane not to LOVE this Christian Siriano dress!!
Gown, Christian Siriano; flower pin (worn in hair), Bando. On Crawford: sneakers, Puma.

Which one of these ‘Date Night Outfit’ ideas is your fav?

kissies,

p.s. Just used my bare necessities gift card from the last Fashion 2.0 event to buy a pair of LnA Olivia Leggings…for $18 – SCORE X 100!! XOXO
