What I wore today 08/30/2011 (wine bar)

IMG_0484

Ryan and I are going to a wine bar tonight to have dinner and a couple wine flights. Inspired by the color of wine (a rich burgundy, one of my all-time favorite colors), I put this outfit together.

The shoes are brand new, and the dress is an old favorite (seen here and here) that I thought I'd lost forever after loaning in to someone as a costume for Underbelly, but I just found this morning! I'm so psyched to have it back, as it's one of my absolute favorite dresses. I love its open lace back. The tie is meant to be in the back, but I like to tie it in the front to bring the dress in under my bust and give me an empire waistline.

My picks from the upcoming Missoni for Target collection

I am very excited about the Missoni for Target collection (launching September 13th). I love designer collaborations, and Missoni is one of my all-time favorite design houses, so this particular one is a dream come true. I've even set up an alert on my iPhone so that I don't miss opening day. If the buzz is anything to judge by, I'm sure the collection will be selling out fast. If you're interested, you can see the whole collection here.

These my favorite pieces...
