I've been a little obsessed with vintage Carole Little lately. The fun of the search is that it's very hit-or-miss, well, mostly miss, with a good 90% of it wackadoo frumpy, but then you find rock-glorious pieces like this gorgeous velvet burnout jacket. <span id="more-7077"></span>I fought in two different bidding wars for this thing. Worth it. I feel like listening to Stevie Nicks when I wear it.</p>

The Lenox Options dress and I are soul mates. The crop top is separate from the tank dress. I believe I've nailed down my point of how much I love to throw my little DIY tie-dye crop top over every jersey tank dress I own. Now add muddy grays with multicolor dots and my neurotransmitters are popping like mad. I want this dress so much it hurts. This dress, in a nutshell, represents why Seneca Rising is my favorite brand for dresses.</p>

Here is another reason why I love Seneca Rising to pieces. Beautiful muted multicolor, pixelated roses--florals are so done and done but these are modern and updated, fresh flowers--and Lynchian blue roses of course, jersey swing babydoll dress. Sign me up.</p>

If you see Annie @ Wiloh commenting on your blogs, that's me. I've been working with <a href="http://www.wiloh.com/">Wiloh - Ecosocial Apparel</a> for the past few weeks now and I am beyond thrilled. I feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of such an amazing, ethical company. Wiloh is all about eco-friendly streetwear with a philanthropic twist--for every sustainable t-shirt sold, a specially-designed children's tee is donated to a child in need via Kids In Distressed Situations (K.I.D.S.), a charitible organization that reaches out to help children affected by poverty and natural disasters. Usually, such an ethical company is kind of crunchy and tree-hugging--earth tones and beige granola galore. Not Wiloh! No lectures or granola here, just awesome t-shirts with designs by independent artists and other creative types--including bloggers. Oh yes, that's right. You may be getting an email from me down the road asking you to collaborate on a design for us and/or do a giveaway. We have a stellar new collection slated for October, and I would be very grateful if you would help me spread the word. </p>

<p>Claudia Estrada used the galaxy as inspiration for her ClaudiaE Fall 2010 Collection. The bright yellow blown-up leopard design on these satin cigarette pants is almost unrecognizable as an animal print! It's reminiscent of burning coals in the lake of fire or film blotches. I love the new wave neon blue chevrons on the top as well. <span id="more-6204"></span></p>
<p align=center><span style="color: #ffffff";>.</span> <br /><a href="http://www.claudiae.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v185/honeysprite/AnnieSpandex/claudiae_yellow_dress.jpg" border="0" alt="ClaudiaE Outfit 2"></a> <br />Here the nuclear leopard print is featured on a flowy, Grecian minidress. Gorgeous! <br /><span style="color: #ffffff";>.</span></p>
<p align=center><a href="http://www.claudiae.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v185/honeysprite/AnnieSpandex/claudiae_paneled_pants.jpg" border="0" alt="ClaudiaE Outfit 3"></a> <br />I love this herringbone vest with vaguely floral snap buttons. The zig-zag paneled shiny denim pants wouldn't spend much time on the hanger, either. <br /><span style="color: #ffffff";>.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start LikeButtonSetTop --><!-- End LikeButtonSetTop --><p>The new 80%20 Fall 2010 lookbook has arrived, and as usual, here are my latest top picks from my favorite brand!</p>
<p align=center><span style="color: #ffffff";>.</span></p>
<p align=center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v185/honeysprite/AnnieSpandex/8020_heide_brown.jpg" alt="80%20 Heide - Brown" border="0"> <br /><u>80%20 Heide - Brown</u></p>
<p>All you regular readers know how I like to toughen up girly dresses with boots. (It's the tomboy in me.) These conspicuous wedges--as opposed to 80%20's signature hidden wedges--are very reminiscent of work boots. I'm reminded of the hiking boots my older sister had in the 90's that I used to covet, except these have a stylish, feminine wedge to hold up the off-road laces. Just imagine these with a girly, floral or tartan summer dress. Yes! Now you see why I need these boots in my life. The contrasting blue suede at the top is really what knocks it out of the park for me. Genius! </p>
<p align=center><span style="color: #ffffff";>.</span></p>
<p align=center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v185/honeysprite/AnnieSpandex/8020_nory_giraffe.jpg" alt="80%20 Nory - Giraffe" border="0"> <br /><u>80%20 Nory - Giraffe</u></p>
<p>Have you ever seen a pair of wedge creepers? You're looking at a pair! The wedge is hidden on the inside so you get the flattering extra boost with the look of flat, classic creepers. That's 80%20's specialty, and one of the reasons I go so bonkers for them. These creepers feature straps and buckles over a furry giraffe print made of calfhair. If I had these, I would be petting them all the time. I mean, I would have them in my lap while at the computer or watching television like a lap kitty. I'm half-serious.</p>
<p align=center><span style="color: #ffffff";>.</span></p>
<p align=center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v185/honeysprite/AnnieSpandex/8020_wren_natural.jpg" alt="80%20 Wren Rockabilly - Natural" border="0"> <br /><u>80%20 Wren Rockabilly - Natural</u></p>
<p>See the Cuban heel there? That's not all the height you're getting with these. 80%20 heard you like height so these have a hidden wedge stacked on top of a Cuban heel! Mix in zippers and studs on a cowboy boot and you have the most amazing pair of rockabilly boots. The zippers zip up so you have options. Genius, or what? I'd love to see these with chambray or the denim-on-denim trend.</p>
<p align=center><span style="color: #ffffff";>.</span></p>
<p>The 80%20 Fall 2010 collection should be available by the beginning of September. <a href="http://twitter.com/8020shoes" target="_blank">Follow 80%20 on Twitter</a> or <a href="http://www.8020nyc.com/" target="_blank">subscribe to their newsletter</a> so you don't miss out!</p>
<p align=center><span style="color: #ffffff";>.</span> <br /><big>Which pair is your favorite?</big></p>

<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.revolveclothing.com/brandpages/SenecaRising.jsp" target="_blank">Seneca Rising dress from REVOLVEclothing</a></li>

</ul>
<p>Does this dress look familiar? It's the same dress from <a href="http://www.revolveclothing.com/b/blog/ViewFullPost.jsp?id=891&#038;category=" target="_blank">a post I did for Revolve</a>. I wore a tank top underneath for modesty's sake last time, but this time I just went for it. I don't think it's showing too much. I mean, you can totally see my bra if you look closely, but it just looks like part of the dress. Maybe I should have listed it. Ha. It's one of those cotton American Apparel bralettes. I love the subtle geometry in this outfit: the stripes of the dress, X on my foot, chevron necklace. Really I think the necklace is essential here, whereas it wouldn't have worked at all in the first outfit.</p>

<p>James is a genius and has stolen my heart. <a href="http://blog.blackmilkclothing.com/toomanytights/" target="_blank">Check out his hilarious blog</a> and you'll understand the perfectionism that goes behind his work designing <a href="http://shop.blackmilkclothing.com/" target="_blank">BlackMilk</a> leggings. We're kindred, as we're both leggings-obsessed. With this pair, he's touched upon another obsession of mine. I've never really had a favorite flower. For many years, whenever someone has asked what my favorite flower is, I've answered, "Blue ones." Any blue flower is my favorite. Blue roses are special for yet another reason.

That being said, I still like to play the virtual-shopping game over there. You know the game where you fill up your online shopping cart with all the stuff you like but stop just short of checking out? Yeah. You do that too, right? It's a good way to satiate the shopping bug when your budget is tapped. Maybe when I have some spare beans I'll come back and get something, but for now I'll stick to the game. Want to see what's in my cart?</p>
<p align=center><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v185/honeysprite/AnnieSpandex/threadsence_wishlist.jpg" alt="My favorite stuff at Threadsence."></p>
<ul>
<li><b>A</b>. <a href="http://www.threadsence.com/crop-studded-faux-leather-jacket-p-1351.html" target="_blank">Crop Studded Faux Leather Jacket</a> ($72) - Look, I know nothing is more played than moto jackets and studs, but I really don't care. This jacket is cute as hell. Drape it over a pink dress, black boots, and you're done.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>B</b>. <a href="http://www.threadsence.com/stripe-strappy-tank-dress-p-1137.html" target="_blank">Stripe Strappy Tank Dress</a> ($35) - This is very similar to the dress I wore on my birthday (<a href="http://anniespandex.com/clothes/outfits/todays-my-birthday/" target="_blank">seen here</a>), but that doesn't stop me from wanting it. Yes, it's a striped dress, <i>but this one is gray</i> and <i>the stripes are more narrow</i>. Do I really need to justify an imaginary purchase?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>C</b>. <a href="http://www.threadsence.com/cabbage-rose-tie-back-mesh-tank-p-1637.html" target="_blank">Cabbage Rose Tie Back Mesh Tank</a> ($29) - This is a sheer floral tank with a cute tie in the back. If you like this top but think 90's florals are too trendy, don't worry. We're talking about flowers. Flowers have epitomized beauty since the the dawn of civilization. This tank is pretty, and it will always be pretty.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>D</b>. <a href="http://www.threadsence.com/dreamtime-mini-dress-by-mink-pink-p-1380.html" target="_blank">Dreamtime Mini Dress by MINK PINK</a> ($63) - This dress wants me to wear a bright color with it. I'm thinking either orange boots, neon green tights, or a cobalt blue purse. Just a splash like they talk about on interior design shows when picking out throw pillows.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>E</b>. <a href="http://www.threadsence.com/layered-zip-tank-p-1148.html" target="_blank">Layered Zip Tank</a> ($28) - I wonder if the pieces come apart? I would probably end up wearing the gray top layer separately at some point.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>F</b>. <a href="http://www.threadsence.com/mini-safety-pin-earrings-p-1602.html" target="_blank">Mini Safety Pin Earrings</a> ($7) - Adorably punk. I never change my earrings, but these are so cute--like a snarling little teacup doggie.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>G</b>. <a href="http://www.threadsence.com/boxy-stripe-top-p-1525.html" target="_blank">Boxy Stripe Top</a> ($35) - I would wear this dolman-sleeved shirt with denim short-shorts and some sandal/boot hybrids. Very summertime and breezy.</li>
</ul>
<p align=center><big>Which one of these do you think I should actually purchase?</big></p>

<h3>About Alice + Olivia</h3>
<p>From sexy dresses to dramatic <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/alice-olivia-jewelry/br/v=1/2534374302143851.htm">Alice and Olivia jewelry</a>, Alice and Olivia has you covered. 32-year-old Alice + Olivia founder and designer, Stacey Bendet, a New York native with a toddler daughter, is married to Eric Eisner, movie producer and son of Disney bigwig Michael Eisner. In 2002, Stacey and her former Penn classmate, Rebecca Matchett, founded Alice + Olivia, naming the line after the first names of their mothers. That same year, the pair showed Bendet's first designs to fashion-industry insiders and celebrities at the Russian Tea Room. This collection introduced the label's signature low-rise, slim-fitting "Staceypants" in bright, funky patterns. A year later, Bendet split from Matchett, replacing her chief financial partner with Theory's founder, Andrew Rosen.<br />

<h3>Alice + Oliva Clothing at Shopbop</h3>
<p> Alice + Olivia showcased a balance between girly and edgy in the Spring 2010 collection; one look, for example, paired a silver sequined, mesh dress with a futuristic, metallic jacket, accessorizing the ensemble with black platform ankle boots. For spring, Shopbook has created an <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/alice-olivia/br/v=1/2534374302023685.htm?all">Alice + Olivia clothing</a> lookbook comprised of 5 "urbane safari" looks worth checking out. I like to think of the collection as "disco safari." <img src='http://anniespandex.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
