Stylish with Substance

Some blogs' "of the days" must meet when truly influential - and today's dress of the day from The Fashion Police, by Red Valentino - is oozing with genius design, so here it is for this Wednesday.

More RED Valentino...

What is clearly so cunning is the bow continues from the knot, cascading like ribbon tails down the frock over the left leg, with an equally clever slit that's still demure due to smart tailoring.

Adding fit is the bust seaming that also appears as though it flows into the knot. So gorgeous, with just that subtle touch of sexy.

It's near absolute perfection, and relatively affordable for it's luxeness, at $508.

Just. so. tired. today. My feet hurt from yesterday, as well, so it's hard to think about dressing up in killer fashions, like yesterday.

I just want to cozy up and snooze. But how to find a design for today that really matches this day?

Good thing Liberty of London is still at Target, and they have great home and bedding goods. Lovin' this rouge-hued floral pillow, and I think the black and white garden bedding might suit just about anybody. (Ignore the pink sheets.) It's not too too girly, anyway.

So you can hole up at home while pretending to be in a garden oasis, thanks to these luxurious print designs.

Shop Liberty of London for home at Target.com. I'm going to take my 2nd catnap.

This is a new feature I'm vowing to keep up with, and yes, daily. Sometimes it might be designer dujour as well, and today's designer can pretty much fit the bill...

Usually I'm also going to focus on design details over just plain cute products, but today I've been bitten by a little bird...

I'm going totally nuttily lustful over these pumps by Miu Miu: it's not so much the sparrow (or sparrow vs. cat print, also popular), it's more the girly/retro/cute/kitsch feel that is boosted by nearly any print, but moreso by the kooky animals. Though yes, I do fancy a bird over a cat, at least in this case.

These shoes are so popular, and so sold out, that my hopes for scoring them sooo cheap are actually pipe dreams - but maybe I couldn't learn to walk in what feels like a 4.5 inch heel (atop a 1 inch platform). They're seriously high, but they've got me all drunk over them! (Why is that always the way? High heel, high price, high want.)

A girl can dream ... a crazy dream with little birdies. ;-)

P.S. Don't fail to notice our giveaway!
