Style Diary: Bow Blouse

The girly girl in me is loving this season’s bow trend.  It’s everywhere from Gucci to Tory Burch to Diane Von Furstenburg, to Marc by Marc Jacobs to Ralph Lauren.  So when I saw this white BCBG bow blouse at the retail store where I work during my double employee discount period, I just knew I had to have it.

Ok so I already have another white bow blouse sitting in my closet from Saks.  But this one is half-sleeved..er so I reasoned. The best thing about the blouse is that the bow is detachable so it’s like you’re getting two shirts for the price of one!


I wore it with my cardigan sweater from Forever 21, my pleated navy skirt from H&M and my Hello Kitty purse which I adore.  The navy heels are by Richard Tyler.

Here are some other inspirational pics that I found of other fashionistas wearing their favorite bow blouses.

This fashionista reminded me that you can convert any blouse into a bow blouse simply by adding a thin scarf.  How do you like that?

I love the vibrant colors color-blocked together.  This outfit reminded me a little of my bow blouse and shorts outfit shown here.

How sweet is this?  There’s something so sweet and unexpected about this pretty pink and camel color pairing.

This classic cream/black pairing caught my interest immediately.  It’s adorable, isn’t it?

If you’re a bow fan like I am, and can’t get enough,  you’ll love my earlier post featuring Flattery who is the queen of dressing in bows!  Her picture is shown below.

Bergdorf Beasts, Smiley Butts and Other Window Displays

I make it a point to check out the window displays in NY.  I mean it’s somewhat unavoidable as I love to “window shop” and the displays here are so creative and eye-catching anyways.  But I’m fascinated by them so much to the point that I sometimes stroll over to my favorite window shop areas (such as 5th ave.) just to see what the windows are looking like!  Bergdorf, Barney’s Bloomies and Bendel’s are my usual favorites in NY…funny that they all start with “B”.  Below are some pics from my latest stroll down 5th Ave.

The beauty and the beast themed windows at Bergdorf Goodman are below

Diesel’s window gave new meaning to “buttface”

The Bendel windows always look enticing to me…

Perhaps most surprising were the St. John  windows.  St. John is a brand that I associate with my mother’s generation.  I see it as a staid Chanel wannabe with boxy cuts and Nancy Reagan as its muse.  But their windows showcased a cooler, much younger Upper East Side fashion set.  I found myself wanting to wear all the creamy delicacies shown below.

Look below to see who I ran into on my way home!  I couldn’t help but scream out “hello, Kitty.”  What can I say, I’m a child at heart.
