wanted: peplum perfection

I first spotted this dress on Nasty Gal a few months ago but was so sad to see that it had completely sold out. The second I spotted it back in stock this week though, I hurried to snatch one up for myself.

It's the perfect party dress for a night out and I love how the peplum works to update the bandage-style dresses we've been seeing around for a while.

I'll be sure to post a look with it once it comes in. If you're interested, hurry up and get one before they sell out again! This one has the tendency to fly off the shelves.

As relaxed as a work environment can be in the advertising industry, I still like to step it up from time to time. Dark jeans and flowy silk blouses typically make up my work-week wardrobe, but pieces like this make me want to go the extra mile. I scored this beautiful olive dress at Macy's right before I came to New York and love how easily it transitions from a work look into a happy hour look.

For every day, I'm usually toting an enormous bag to work to fit all of my essentials, but just swapping it for a clutch takes the look from day to night.
