I really like how this top has ruffles on the racerback.  From the side it kinda looks like spikes on a dinosaur’s back.  Strange–but weirdly adorable.

I paired the top with our Blair Exposed Back Zip Skirt and our Strappy Studded Sandals.  I know it sounds unbelievable but these shoes are actually really comfortable.  The straps are a softer fabric material rather than hard faux leather, so they don’t dig into your skin at all…

Shop the Outfit:

Watercolor Floral Racerback Top, $28.50

Blair Exposed Back Zip Skirt, $34.50

Strappy Studded Sandals, $48.50

I love the way the light shines through the sleeves on our Sheer Nicole Boho Tunic.
I’ve paired the top with some dark wash jean cutoff shorts and cognac gladiator wedges.  My earrings are our Violet Rosebud Earrings and I also have on a couple of our wood bangles which are currently available FREE with every order at Cora Boutique – hurry though because they’re almost gone!  Also, don’t forget to follow shopcora on Twitter  — You’ll receive a 15% OFF coupon code when you do!

11 June 2009 - 20:38Color Trend: Bright Fuschia

I’m really loving the contrast between Bar’s bright fuschia dress and purple heels.  Reminds me of the July 2009 Town and Country magazine cover with the mix of turquoise and fuschia.

I’m also a big fan of all the bright pinks being used in beauty looks right now.  I’m loving this look makeup artist Troy Jensen gave Rachel McAdams–so gorgeous!

Troy used Shu Uemura vinyl unlimited lip gloss on Rachel to get this look.  If you’re a beauty lover like me then you should definitely check out Troy Jensen’s blog.  He’s Kim Kardashian’s makeup artist and breaks down, step-by-step, how he creates her looks (and others like Jennifer Lopez) and also lists the exact products he uses so you can re-create the look yourself.  I’m a big fan.

Posted by Cora Boutique

Lately shades of seafoam have been popping up everywhere, from dresses to bikinis to nail polish. I’m even sporting seafoam painted toes at the moment. I love this color for summer–it looks especially amazing against bronzed skin!

Diane Kruger in a Splendid Boho Floral Tunic and Christian Louboutin Platform Mary Janes.  Mismatched prints never looked so good. 

Definitely thinking I need to find this look for less considering the shoes alone are $965 more than in my piggy bank…

5 May 2009 - 12:15Outfit Idea: Florals + Leather

Posted by Cora Boutique

 

Floral Mini Dress + Leather Jacket 

I love the mix of florals + leather in this outfit.  This is definitely my favorite Cora Boutique dress… EVER.  And I’m loving the fact that bebe has knocked-off the Stella McCartney Mesh Basket Sandals.  I’ve been admiring them on Mary-Kate Olsen for a while now but the $995 price tag was kinda hard to handle. 

   

Shop the Outfit:

Floral Sweetheart Mini Dress, $48.50 

Leatherette Moto Jacket, $58.00

Lizzy Mesh Sandal, $139.00

Leather Stud Detail X Body Bag, $55.00

OPI Koala Berry Nail Polish, $7.32
