On Repeat

Vintage Bomber Jacket  // American Apparel Crop Top // Forever 21 Skirt // Cole Haan Booties // Marc Jacobs Clutch (old) // Ray-Ban Aviators

This shirt has been on repeat the past week, partially because I'm somewhat obsessed with crop tops and also I know my time is limited as the weather starts to turn.  I absolutely love pairing it with every high-waisted skirt in my closet.  All black outfit and obnoxiously orange clutch,  I think I'm inadvertently channeling halloween right now.  Tell me, have you decided on your costume yet?

A few of my favorite things

American Apparel Crop Top // Anthropologie Skirt (old, similar here) // B Brian Atwood Heels (old) // Prada (Frada) Sunnies

There are several pieces in my wardrobe I love but rarely get the chance to wear.  I know when making the purchase that it will spend most of the time hanging in my closet but the pure delight I get from even just seeing it there on the hanger is well worth it.  Looking at it knowing it is mine makes me supremely happy.  Just try being in a bad mood while wearing a giant tutu.  Trust me, it's near impossible.   

Fall Trends: Part Trois

Winter seems the hardest season to showcase the latest trends, must-have accessories and fabulous footwear.  As someone who is perpetually cold, once the temperature drops I become less and less concerned with how I look and more and more focused on how I can function outside without freezing.    This season's answer came to me in various shades of pastels.  There is just something so effortless and striking about throwing on a coat in the softest shade of pink.  And, anything with a three quarter-length sleeve lends the perfect excuse to pick up the most epic pair of attention-grabbing gloves.

Confession:  I had to google how to say/spell three in french.  Yikes...

Fall Trends - Part Deux

Popular with models and various beautiful people, the midi is notoriously hard to wear but when done right, oh it is just oh so good.  I love the volume, glamour and 50's influence in the shape of this skirt.  It makes for such a romantic outfit and absolutely necessitates a heeled shoe to go along with it.  With Summer officially over, the midi is making me incredibly excited for cooler weather.
