Faded denim, pale pastels, delicate lace and a few sequins thrown in for good measure. What’s not to love?

A while ago, I wrote a blog post asking your opinion on three different Wildfox sweater styles, here. I ended up getting all three styles for Bicyclette: Baby Cheetah, Love Potion #9, and Queen of Hearts. The sweaters will be in the shop mid-September, but I thought I’d share some much better photos of the Love Potion #9 style, which is sequined, slouchy, and growing on me the more I look at it.
Based on everyone’s comments before, this was the least popular style, but I’m curious what your thoughts are now?

Business plan revision for Enterprize Business Plan Competition? Done.
Application for Student Entrepreneur Competition? Done.
And breathe. It feels like my life these days is a never-ending to-do list and I’m just working my way along, trying to get it all completed. Next on my plate? Putting together a presentation for the Enterprize regionals (talk about butterflies in my stomach), and then putting together all the pieces that will enable to me to attend the MAGIC trade show Las Vegas. That’s right, if all goes as planned, I will be conducting my first ever bicyclette buy in just over a month! More on this to come, and on Tuesday, for my Brand Spotlight, I will be starting to compile a list of brands to look in to looking for your input. It’s an exciting time in the bicyclette HQ’s! (And by headquarters I mean my apartment…)
Anyway, I’ve been going through my closets recently, in another attempt to de-clutter and rediscover pieces that have been buried, and so far, it’s proved to be successful. Not only have I managed to put together another pile of clothes to go, I’ve also rediscovered some gems. So I put together some outfits mixing old with new, which is also one of my New Year Resolutions: to experiment more with what’s already in my closet. I find that I tend to gravitate towards the tried and true outfits, especially when life gets busy or stressful, but there’s so much more potential to explore options if you give yourself a little more time. Et voila!

So I’ve been a little absent over these past few days, which I blame schoolwork for. I’ve been glued to my computer, yes, but focused on writing a literature review for my thesis/capstone and writing my second business plan version, for Saturday submission. It’s at the point now where I just have to plug away at everything and get one project done at a time. I’m so close.
Though it has been amazingly time consuming and a lot of hard work, I’ve somewhat enjoyed the process of writing this paper. The topics I’m covering in it are social media and networking, online consumer behaviour and retail conception and development, and it’s a nice change to feel as though all of the hard work I’m putting in to it actually has some real world applicability. That being said, I still can’t wait for a break from everything.
I know I’ve missed a few posts, but I’ll catch up on them over the next couple of days. Though they may not occur on their designated days, at least you’ll still get to enjoy them!
But today, on schedule, I’m focusing on another style icon!
This week’s focus is on someone a little more current than last’s: Erin Wasson, model/ fashionista/ designer, etc. She exudes a confidence and inimitable ease of style that makes you unsure whether to love her or hate her. Keeping to a simple palette of neutrals (I was hard pressed to find an outfit that includes colour, and you’ll notice that all of the photos below are black and white), she expertly mixes textures and incorporates basics into her wardrobe so that it appears simple, but never boring. With Erin, it’s all in the details: lace, feathers, sequins, and accessories all lend themselves to her impeccable style. We all know how much I love my feminine pieces mixed with harder edged details, and she managed to pull this off with perfection.
Yes, style crush confirmed.
