I've been hunting for a great leather bodice dress for sometime now (I blame it on this little number from Chloe Spring 2011) -- and everything I found seemed to be just out of my price comfort zone. Luckily, some of the after Christmas sales worked in my favor as I snagged this BCBGMaxazria dress for over 60% off. Merry Christmas to me, indeed! 

How has your luck been with the sales? Any good finds? 

the lab event: a giveaway!

Ah, back to work today after a relaxing, much needed break! But in the spirit of giving (hey, the spirit can live on after Christmas, right? Well it should!), I have a lovely little giveaway for you! As some of you may have overheard me say on Twitter, I'll be walking the runway alongside some of my favorite bloggers (pictured in the sneak peek Instragram shots above) at The Lab Event, a unique kind of bridal fair featuring only the best, trend-setting wedding industry professionals from Northern California. 

The Big Day, ahem, the event will be held on January 14 in Sonoma at the beautiful Cline Cellars winery and I have three, yes, three tickets for you! Getting married soon? Maid of Honor duties sneaking up on you? Or perhaps you just have a thing for pretty dresses? Well here's how to win:

1.) Like This Time Tomorrow on Facebook

2.) Leave a comment below describing your favorite wedding memory (can be your own wedding or one you attended).

3.) I'll be drawing a winner at random on Tuesday, January 10, so make sure to check back!

Good luck, ladies!

Forgive the late wishes, but happy new year! Couldn't help but show off the man friend's dapper new suit that he sported for New Year's Eve. He's a good sport, huh? Not to mention, a pretty darn handsome one if you ask me.

Hope your last night of 2011 was an eventful one (and that the first day of 2012 wasn't too painful!). 

style challenge: fancy flats

Dress: Zara (similar style here); Jacket: Gryphon (similar style here); Bag: Zara; Shoes: Steve Madden; Sunglasses: Karen Walker; Jewelry: J. Crew chain necklace, assorted gifted bangles, Michael Kors watch

If you've read This Time Tomorrow for a while, you've probably come to notice that I'm not much of a flats kind of girl. It's not that I don't ever wear them, trust me, I have to with the hills in my neighborhood -- I just always feel much more put together and like myself, when I have a trusty pair of 4 inchers on (plus feeling taller never hurt anyone, right?). So when my coworkers suggested we try a fancy flats style challenge this week, I'll admit, I was a bit, well, stumped. 

Until I remembered my smoking slippers that is! I scooped up these Steve Madden leopard smoking slippers right before I left for New York back in September so I'm glad they can finally make their overdue debut here on the blog. True to form, these flats are the unsung heroes of this blog (they've gotten me through some pretty rough times, namely weekend morning coffee runs when I don't want to dress up enough for their heeled counterparts). 

Moral of the story? I think I may need to bring them out to play more often! 

Oh, and don't forget to check out the always lovely Rebecca of Thirty-Five Inch Inseam, Meghan of Voila and Kellen of And So It Goes to see how they styled their fancy flats! 

Style Rules with Rachel Zoe

If you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen a few tweets going back and forth alluding to a certain Rachel Zoe video. Well, no April Fool's joke here -- just a couple of short weeks ago, my good friend Heather of Heather in a Candy Shop and I were chosen to compete in Rachel Zoe's Style Rules competition, presented by LG Marquee.

The concept was simple -- a styling challenge to be completed under 90 minutes, with a budget of $200. But when you have a film crew following you as you frantically run around San Francisco in heels, trying to abide by Rachel's styling criteria AND worry if you have lipstick on your teeth -- the challenge was anything but simple!

All in all though, I had a blast hanging with an amazing film crew, getting to chat with Rachel Zoe (!!!) a few times on the phone and, of course, goofing around with Heather! Enough of me blabbing away though, right? On to the show! Hope you enjoy the video!
