Chanel Sunglasses in Blue - Last seen here with Naven skirt and Givenchy wedges

The lovely Karina from Tea Leaf Clothing sent me this adorable crop top by Wildfox Couture.  It is made in the USA and features a vintage inspired graphic print.  I especially like the orange lettering against the heather black of the tee.  I styled this tee differently from the last Wildfox Couture tee Karina gave me.  I used this cheerleader crop top to dress down a fancy Grey Ant dress that I wore with a blazer a long time ago on Fashion Snag. 

This Grey Ant dress has ruching detail and a bustier bodice, which you can catch a glimpse of when I lift my top up in the video.  I loved the print of this dress and that is why I bought it.  I think a dress like this can do double duty when you layer a cropped tee over it.  Grey Ant dresses are always amazing and I wait until they go on sale to snag them at a great price.  I have worn other Grey Ant pieces on Fashion Snag before, including a cute bow skirt.  As always, you can click on any brand or designer in the lefthand sidebar and it will take you to all my posts that feature that designer. 

I wore my most comfortable pair of heels by Camilla Skovgaard.  Thanks to the saw platform on these things I can walk for miles.  I also like the heart cutout in the front.  I have way too many Camilla Skovgaard shoes, but I have a good reason for that.  Her shoes are never painful and I think that is because a woman designed them, but I could be biased.

Grey Ant Donna's Dress

Grey Ant Donna's Dress in Blue - Snagged off RevolveClothing.com for $135.20 (Retail: $325)

Dolce Vita Ripped Sweater in Black - Snagged off Shopbop.com or $139 (Retail: $231)

Alaia Lace-Up Suede Ankle Boots in Black - Worn before here with LNA lace bike shorts

This psuedo 80s looking dress is just what I needed to remind me of Jem.  Anyone remember Jem and the Holograms?  A couple months ago I wore a Grey Ant bow skirt that was the same color as this dress.  It didn't have the extra stone detail that the bustline of this dress has however.  To toughen up the look and make it more for everyday wear I paired it with this shredded Dolce Vita sweater cardigan.  I love the huge pockets on this thing.  I have trouble not wearing these Alaia hiking boots.  They go with everything and are beyond comfortable.

Grey Ant The Gift Skirt in Blue - Gift from Boyfriend

Nightcap Clothing Lace Poncho Tee in White - Snagged off Shopbop.com for $56.10 (Retail: $187)

The most painful part about this post and another one from a few weeks ago was the spelling of Demeulemeester.  I finally have it down and I was in a lot of spelling bees!  It is a pain in the butt when I am adding my keywords though.  Ahh, what we will do for fashion blogging.  These lace up sandals by Ann Demeulemeester are by far my most comfortable pair of heels.  Her shoes are made with your comfort in mind and I like how all my toes have space to wiggle.  The Ann Demeulemeester sale on Gilt was pretty intense, but I stuck to my guns and only picked out these sandals which were my favorite of all the shoes.  Anyway, this tee should be selling out like hotcakes.  I tried this Nightcap Clothing lace poncho tee on when I was in Aspen at Pitkin County Dry Goods.  They wanted the full retail price and they were trying to sell it to me in a size that was two sizes bigger than the size I am wearing in these photos.  I hate when people try to sell me stuff that obviously isn't my size. Luckily, my friend Christina put the axe down on that one and a few weeks later it popped up on Shopbop for 70% off.  I would say justice was served!  My sweet boyfriend bought me this skirt that I really wanted for a long time.  It came in black, but I thought the blue was different and the denim made the bow stand out more.  Anyway, how cool is the back of this top?  I told you I have a lot of sheer stuff.

Bubbly

Black Danskin Tights

Gucci Killin Peep Toe Boots - snagged at a Saks in the Cherry Creek Mall in Denver

Tiffanys Diamond Dragonfly Necklace - Christmas gift a few years ago from the boyfriend

I found out that I pose better with a little bubbly in my system, hence the title.  I rarely drink, but we found this champagne that contains both my first and middle name, Jacqueline Rose, and we had to try it out.  I adore this dress because every other strapless dress I find falls down on me or I find myself constantly pulling it up.  Anyone else have this problem or is it just me?  This dress actually stays put on my small chest.  This was my first Grey Ant purchase and I will definitely be back for more of their strapless dresses.  I stalked this dress on Revolve for a while because I fell in love with the print and the ruching, but the $500 price tag left a bad taste in my mouth (unlike the champagne).  Finally, over Christmas I snagged it for $77.  I think that was my best snag ever, but don't quote me on that one.  

I found this little blazer, which has cool puffy shoulders, on Revolve last summer and it has proved to be quite the versatile little piece.  I have worn it over floral camisoles with jeans and ballet flats.  I have also worn it over a flowy silk print tunic with jeans and heels.  I call it my princess cut blazer.  Do you ever come up with names for your clothes?  I like how the boots flow seamlessly with the tights in this outfit.

This is our second time using the new lights and I have to say I sorta like 'em.  They make me feel like I am on set or something.  They were a bit intimidating at first, but now they feel like a burst of sunshine in winter.
