Inspiration | More virtual shopping spreads

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

When we did our “virtual shopping” mood boards a few weeks ago, we actually did a couple more than what were posted.

So without further ado, here they are:

Hangin\' out with the guys

I’ll admit I forgot to add in the captions this time around but, you can get full shopping details on the polyvore version of the spread (click on each of the images).  (As before, with Eric’s “guy” shopping, everything can be found in one store: Bluefly.com, and he paired it with the a solid Blend Creations “Dragon” stainless steel pendant).

Hot evening out

I love a really good LBD (little black dress) — probably too much since many of my “nice” dresses tend to be black.  I also really like wearing red accessories with them and I think there’s something quite “classic’ about it.  The Blend Creations red bamboo pendant and earrings have quite the shock of red and perfect for the LBD :)

Finally, the last one makes me wish that it would stay summer just a little bit longer:

Summer breeze casual

It’s a watermelon-inspired colour palette with our “Pink plum blossoms” necklace and earrings paired with a bright pink jersey dress and the tailored bag.  (I have a thing for structured purses it seems).

Happy shopping :)

Inspiration | Virtual window shopping

Monday, July 21st, 2008

I would have said Windows® shopping, but our PC has decided not to connect to the internet so we’re almost exclusively Mac-surfing now.

I’ve been wanting to do a little shopping, but it seems whenever we have the free time to go shopping, it’s usually past closing time at the mall.  Instead, it’s virtual shopping for me and the added benefit is that there’s an overwhelming selection, and I can always pretend that everything would fit me perfectly. :)

I created a little inspiration board with the outfit I found for a fictitious dress-up lunch with the girls:

In case you’re interested in the details, clockwise from the top-left corner:

Now, I created this little inspiration piece in Illustrator, but if you’re ever in the mood to pull together your own inspiration boards, you can whittle away some time playing with Polyvore, where I was able to pull together the same outfit, complete with clickable links, in a fraction of the time.
