bebe Addiction One-Shoulder Sparkle Bustier Mesh Dress

bebe Addiction One-Shoulder Sparkle Bustier Mesh Dress 

This was my new year's Eve's dress last year. It's an one-shoulder dress with a bustier-like bodice.

The shoulder strap is made of glossy python print leatherette and the print goes down to the opposite hip. The dress has an other python stripe with ruched paneling inbetween. There are silver and black sequins in front and on the back of the dress. The dress has a short black lining and a highly asymmetrical hemline made of mesh.

This is up to now my only piece from bebe Addiction collection. It looks the best with black shoes. It is not an every-day piece, so I have only worn it once. But I am waiting for the next opporturnity to wear it! I would wear silver or black accessoires with it, but not too much because the dress itself is so eye-cathing.  

Guess Dalece Hobo

Guess Dalece Hobo

This bag is actually the second hangbag of my life. I used to think I don't like handbags and didn't own any until I was 27. Can you imagine? Now I have corrected this terrible mistake (thanks to my husband who kept telling me every girl needs a handbag and he was so right about that!) and have fun choosing a handbag to my outfits.

The Dalece hobo has a chain shoulder strap, silver-tone studs, big flowers, charms hanging from the base of the strap, crocodile print all over it, you name it! It just has everything. My son likes to play with the charms :-) And it has the size to fit everything in it! I love the quality of the bag. After 6 months it still looks like new.

Here it comes:

This is actually my everyday bag. I just like to carry it all the time. Due to it's neutral colors it goes almost with everything. What a great buy!

Guess Hondo Pumps

Guess Hondo Pumps

These are my first Guess shoes. I have them in color "natural", but they are available in many other colors, too. Currently guess has them in 8 colors online! My husband was the one to liked the shoes most as we were looking for heels for me. I was used to walking with mid-high chunky heels and wanted to go littler higher and thinner... These are our choice as the next step towards sky-high heels (which I now also have).

The heel height is 4" (10 cm) with a 1" (2.5 cm) platform. The shoes are nude and very versatile. They look very elegant and the side cut-outs make them to stand out. They have peep-toe, too. I have been wearing them mainly with short dresses to let my legs look longer.

I think every wardrobe needs at least one pair of nude pumps. I am glad I found mine.

bebe One Shoulder Mixed Lace Dress

bebe One Shoulder Mixed Lace Dress

This was actually my second bebe dress. I tried it on in black/tan few weeks before buying it and it looked so good on me. Unfortunately the store did not have my size there. Few weeks after that we were shopping with my husband without anything particular in mind, as he saw this dress in the berry color in my size. It was the only dress left so he told me to buy it, unless I wouldn't be able to get it anymore. So I bought it. :-)

Here is the amazing lace dress:

 

The dress is so classy. The lace looks expensive to me and I just love the asymmetric neckline. The color is like in the first photo. The second picture is too dark but shows the details of the lace. The shoulder is slightly padded. The dress comes with a nude underlining and it is stretchy. Some reviews on the bebe page said the dress looks conservative, which I kind of share. The black color might make the impression, but the dress just makes you look good without revealing too much. That's the magic of it.

Inbetween bebe has (had) the dress in black, boysenberry, coral and peacock blue. I might have missed some other colors. The good news is that you can still buy it! I love the boysenberry color for spring and summer, so the coral. I haven't seen the peacock blue color in person, but it doesn't look that good in the picture on the bebe homepage. The black color is great and festive but I just love my berry color. It makes me have good mood while wearing it.

I have worn the dress for lunch with my husband and for shopping trips and received many compliments. I paired it with nude Guess Hondo pumps to elongate my legs.  Now I can pair it with the Guess Socialite bag, too. For an edgy look I like the idea of wearing black booties and black leather jacket with the dress.

bebe Faux Suede Asymmetric Pintuck Dress

bebe Faux Suede Asymmetric Pintuck Dress

We bought this bebe dress last year together with my husband. The material is amazingly soft and feels great next to your skin. It looks very elegant and classy, too. It is not very short, but has the right length to wear it to any occasion. Until now I have worn it to dinner and shopping trips.

Here it is:

The dress has pintucking at sides. It looks much better on you than in that photo! Due to the interesting asymmetric cut you wear one side off-shoulder. The neutral color makes the dress very versatile and it is soo comfortable. A must-have in every wardrobe! I always feel confident while wearing it. I have worn the dress with a nude faux leather jacket and black shoes and the Guess Dalece Hobo so that the whole outfit consists of matching tones. I would prefer golden accessoires to silver ones with the dress.

bebe Snake Chain Belt

bebe Snake Chain Belt

I got this great bebe Snake Chain Belt for Christmas 2011 from my husband. It is an exceptional belt with black snake pattern and silver chain links. I love to wear the belt and it is a great way to integrate bebe in my everyday outfits. Looks great with dark jeans and gives some edge to your outfits. I haven't worn it with a dress yet, but I am sure it would spice up a black dress.

Here it is:

The belt came in two colors, with golden and silver chain links, and in two sizes, P/S and M/L. Like so many bebe pieces, it is sold out. I am glad to have it!

bebe Printed Mesh Zipper Dress

bebe Printed Mesh Zipper Dress

This is my very first bebe dress. We had been looking for a dress for me for a longer time. The week earlier I have purchased a pink dress from Express and was supposed to be happy about finding a dress for me. I was, kind of. The dress was nice, but not THE dress. Nevertheless, I continued looking the bebe online store's pages day after day and dreaming I would actually look good in one of their dresses. One day I saw a bebe dress, which had everything I was looking for: ruching, cowl neckline, nice print. I told my husband about it and on the same day we went the the local bebe store and they actually had the dress there. And it fit me!!! My husband bought me the dress and made me so very happy. It was me and my first bebe dress!

This is the dress:

The dress is a mesh dress with a printed floral pattern. It is a cream color with black pattern. I like the black contrasts and the exposed back zipper a lot! The dress hits above the knee but it is not very short. It is fully lined. The overall ruching hides any imperfections you might have. The dress is very comfortable. Every girl should have at least one floral pattern dress in her closet.

I have been wearing it to shopping tours and for a dinner with black strappy sandals and my beige Express leather jacket, if it was colder. My husband even painted a picture of me wearing that dress!

bebe Kelly Strappy Sandal Wedges

bebe Kelly Strappy Sandal Wedges

These shoes were featured in the bebe Spring catalog 2012. They were available in blue, white and gold, but are already sold out online. That is no surprise. The local bebe store didn't have any left, either. Actually I saw the shoes online before the catalog arrived in the mail. As soon as I saw them, I knew I needed to have them. We spend the evening with my husband him watching a bizarre movie called Blubberella and me watching the picture of the shoes and talking about them all the time. The white shoes were pictured with the blue Boatneck Eyelet Dress, about which I will be posting later. The blue ones were pictured with the Geometric Eyelet Shift Dress, which I was to get later. At that time I had the blue dress hanging in my closet and the photo looked so good that I thought this combination of the shoes and the dress would be perfect for me.

Few days later I noticed the blue color was already sold out online. I told this my husband and he told me to go to the bebe store and buy them, otherwise I would regret it. One hour later I went to the UTC mall bebe store and they had the shoes there in white and gold. I didn't like the gold color from the beginning so I bought the white ones. The very friendly bebe stylist made the shopping experience very nice, although my husband was not with me this time.

So now I am the proud owner of these gorgeous shoes:

The upper strap is removable, but I wouldn't wear the shoes that way. The strap adds a lot of height to the shoe and that makes is very different from other wedges. For now I would say the shoes are semi-comfortable, but the more I wear them the more comfortable they will become. The heel height is 5.5 inches (14 cm) and the platform is 1.5 inches (4 cm). By the way, the sole is golden :-)

Until now I have only worn them in the house, but I am waiting excited for the next opportunity to wear them outside. I plan wearing them with my white bebe Geometric Eyelet Shift Dress and the Guess Socialite bag.
 

Guess Socialite Handbag

Guess Socialite Small Flap Satchel

This Guess Socialite bag is my newest handbag. We bought in March with my husband. It comes in black, stone and peach. For some time I have been looking for a white handbag to wear with my green bebe maxi dress, but I hadn't found any great one. I was going to buy the neutral one in "stone", which would be very versatile, but after seeing the peach color in the store I bought it instead. The stone color looked somehow dull standing next to the peach colored bag. I wore my bag for the first time last Friday to a shopping trip at the Fashion Valley mall. It looked very good with a black shirt and dark blue jeans. 

The bag has a timeless shape and clean lines, which I like a lot. You can wear it season after season.
