Brought to you by Decadent Luxe and Chickdowntown, this saucy little BB Dakota dress (available sizes: XS, S) can be yours! Your only requirement is to comment on this post with your name, city (US only), email address and how you might choose to wear this sultry frock! I, myself, would pair it with Chanel jewelry, neon pink or yellow heels and a sparkly clutch for a night out on the town with friends. I’ve been a BB Dakota  and Chickdowntown fan for awhile now, so this giveaway brings me great pleasure. One lucky lady will be chosen next Friday (July 10th) by 11:59pm EST. Also, be sure to check out these beautiful Tolani scarves that can top off any ensemble. I adore the grey & pink floral scarf.

You can follow Chickdowntown on both Twitter and Facebook for fashion updates and a chance to win a $500 gift card!

EDIT: I was notified that some comments aren’t going through, so wait awhile and check back to make sure!

I just recently purchased these fun bikinis at amazing prices courtesy of Old Navy and Target. Old Navy has had a $5 bikini separate sale going on that ends Sunday. Target currently has separates for only $15 each, as well as sales even cheaper than that. I’ve wanted the green bikini for a long time, but never went back for it. So, I’m glad I didn’t because I just got it for $10! The black bikini (with beading on the top) was more of an impulse purchase. I grabbed it the second I saw it. And pictured below with them is a top I bought to mix and match with whatever I find. Also from Target and was less than $10. Now is a fantastic time to shop swimwear sales, ladies! This Summer is all about bold colors and beautiful detail.

“We are privileged to be among the fashion greats who have been affiliated with H&M so far, and to be designing a collection appealing to fashion savvy, street smart women, and to be including some great pieces for men, too,” founder and president of Jimmy Choo, Tamara Mellon said today. “Jimmy Choo will bring to H&M a sophisticated, fashion forward, accessible and glamorous collection – the perfect party pieces to buy now and then wear out that night!”

You read it right, folks. Jimmy Choo! I had just managed to get around to grabbing a piece of the Matthew Williamson action and now this? H&M must be looking to start riots with all these amazing designer collaborations. The madness begins November 14th!

I’ve only lazily taken a train once in my life, but pictured above is what I envision my next ideal journey ensemble to consist of. Looking over my travel plans for the Summer (starting with DC with the boyfriend in a couple of days), I’ve been focusing more on what to pack. Normally, the night before, I’ll just throw in what’s simple and comfortable with a dressy ensemble or two whether I really need it or not. I also tend to pack as little as possible which usually leads to me inconveniently buying more stuff later on in the trip. Another issue for me is if I’m flying commercially, I fear that my luggage will be lost and I would not be a happy camper if favorite/expensive items were packed in my bags. However, I will not be worrying about such things this year. This time around, the private pilot boyfriend and his boss/friend will be flying us to DC. Followed by a road trip later to Virginia Beach and currently unknown means of transportation to Ohio for a wedding. One of these days, I’ll make it to Holland and/or Bora Bora. le sigh… Anyway, I’ve been getting a little carried away with putting together collages on Polyvore of random desired items that I would pack for my travels. To view prices and where to purchase, simply click on them!

These are my top picks from Victoria’s Secret. Usually, the first store that comes to mind when hearing the word “bikini” is VS. With swimwear as lustworthy as their lingerie, you’ll be sure to make a splash this season!
