Fashion Books: The Little Dictionary of Fashion by Christian Dior

I started this series a while back when I did the post on Influence by Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen and, for some reason, never continued...until now.

Today I want to show you something that might not be as known but it's still a great book to read if you're into fashion; it is The Little Dictionary of Fashion by Christian Dior.

As the name of it says, it contains words related to the fashion world displayed in alphabetical order. Each word or item contains either a description, explanation or comment. Some words that are included are: brocade, afternoon frock, fringe, lace, jewelry...

Some pages also contain very nice drawings and/or pictures that help you get a better idea of the whole book.

In my opinion it has a very classy and vintage look to it and it makes me feel like I'm reading something from the past. I think this concept is what they're going for, as well as something really feminine. It's all written in black and pink and all pictures/drawings are in black and white; those three are the only colors you're going to find in the book.

Overall, this book is fun and interesting to read and I have definitely learned some new things. Also, I think it was around $20 and I got it on Shopbop.com but I'm sure you'll be able to find it somewhere else.

New in | American Flag sequin top

I didn't get that many clothes (at all) while I was in the states, but I did get one thing that I really like and I wanted to share with all of you. It is from Victoria's Secret; well, from their Pink line/section/whatever that is.  Unfortunately I got it after July 4th so I didn't get to wear it that day, but that's alright.

As you can see, red, silver and blue sequin make the american flag. I thought this was really cute and had to get it, plus this is the only size they had left and it was my size (that hardly ever happens so I took it as a sign haha).

Here's a closer look:

Would you ever wear something like this?

Outfit Of The Day #5

Hey everyone! Here's another outfit of the day. I actually wore this last week and it wasn't as cold as it is right now so if I want to wear this outfit again I'll have to add a jacket and probably a scarf (since I'm obsessed with scarves).

Shirt - Zara

Tank top - Zara

Pants - Stradivarius (they're actual pants even though they look like leggins)

Boots - Coolway

Belt - Forever 21
