Wish List

Mary Katrzontzou, $1,155

There are "Investment Pieces" and there are "investment pieces."  Both deserve quotations.  Any article of clothing over the average month rent qualifies for bunny ears.  I was turned onto this designer by one of my favorite bloggers.  The prints speak for themselves and the cut looks like absolute perfection.  Enjoy :)

I want.  I need.  I love.

A Very Sparkly Birthday

Hello everyone!  Did you think I had disappeared?  My apologies for the lack of posting as of late, it's been a busy few weeks with the jobby job.   This past weekend I celebrated my birthday in true New York fashion by going out to dinner here and here.  Both were truly fantastic, the latter of which I will definitely be going back to in the future.

I wore a rented (that's right) dress by Nicole Miller and picked up these pink, suede heels from Zara to match.  If you've never heard of it Rent The Runway is a company in which you can rent designer dresses for a fraction of the cost.  And for someone on such a budget as myself proved the perfect alternative to buying.

Nicole Miller Pink Champagne Party Dress

Zara Heel with Contrasting Strap, $99

I'd also like to take this moment to pat myself on the back.  I think I may have purchased the most impractical shoes in my entire life.  Are they comfortable?  Well, just look at them.  What do you think?  A true fashion over form moment.  Love it.

To Sweet to Eat

Leave it to Marie Claire, China to combine my love of fashion with my newfound job in food.  And, look-y there, the fashion world is just as obsessed with Louis Vuitton as I am.  I fell in love with the whimsical feel of this editorial spread, it is the perfect accoutrement to the warmer weather.

I am 100%, completely embracing all things Spring.  Pastel nails, pastel shoes, pastel hair ties!  Le Sigh, I hear my poor bank account crying out in vain.  Hmmm pastel ear plugs?

Cotton Candy hair.  Good enough to eat.

Well, dye my hair pink and put it in a big bouffant!  Anyone got some whipped cream lying around?

Lena Erziak Adam Evening Bag $1550

Happy Friday Readers!  I have a rather extravagant wish list I've put together for you all today.  Sometimes, a girls gotta dream big.  And yes, you read correctly that purse is more than the average persons monthly rent.  But, isn't it adorable????  I'd feel like the most whimsical Snow White carrying that around, if Snow White were blond of course.  She'd of looked better as a blond anyway.

Isabel Marant Willow Veloursleder Sneakers $770

I'm obsessed with these.  And since I work in Brooklyn now, I feel like these would help me fit in with the neighborhood better.  That is, until everyone finds out I'm walking around in $770 kicks...  My god, I really need to win the lottery.

Let's get Shortys

Topshop Meadow Green Denim Hotpants $45

The weather reared it's ugly head this week to remind us New Yorkers that spring is not yet officially here.   However, I refuse to give in.  Mother Nature may not be cooperating with me on my quest to pull out all my colorful spring clothing but similar to how I get about the holidays after thanksgiving, there is now no turning back.

Have you ever noticed how many fun names there are for shorts?  Hot pants, daisy dukes, knickers! Actually I think knickers is another term for underware, but I digress.  Similar to the explosion of colored and patterned denim, I am loving deciding which pair will become a spring/summer staple.

Topshop Floral Crochet Shorts $70

Zara Flower Print Shorts $40

Alice + Olivia Cady Cuff Shorts $165

And the Piece de Resistance.  I am obsessed with these Alice and Olivia hot pink hot pants.  Trust me, they look even better in person.  I've only made a point to stare at them every single time I go into Bloomingdales.  Actually trying them on would be too great a testament to my willpower.

Wish List

Burberry London Gabardine trench coat $1,095

Pardon my major Spring Fever, but I thought it would be a perfect excuse to bring you all up to speed on the classic trench.  Behold Burberry, the holy grail of trench coats.  I have been lusting after one of these bad boys for as long as I can remember, the cut is really just absolutely impeccable.  I'm sure you think I'm cray,  but in my defense my Uncle has had one of these for probably close to 15 years and it is still in fabulous shape and really simply timeless.  See, so that equates to only $.02 a day.  Save for 15 years and you two can be the lucky owner of one of these!  I've got about $2 in change in my wallet, why I'm practically halfway there.

Asos Belted Trench $134

For those of you unable to shell out a little over $1G right now, I found a few great alternatives.  Particularly one from Zara I will definitely be checking out this weekend.  

Zara Trench Coat with Double Buttons $99

Forever 21 Belted Trench Coat $37

Now... I just need it to rain.

Spring Awakening

 

Happy Hump Day my friends!  I thought I'd share with you a fashion moment I was having yesterday that I could not have been more excited about (feel free to judge me and my penchant for getting over-enthusiastic about outfits).  

Behold, I give you SPRING!  According to my calendar yesterday was the first official day of spring and I celebrated it in my very favorite Michael by Michael Kors heels, a darling green H&M pencil skirt and one of my very favorite Theory peplum tops.  You can't tell by the above photo, but Peplum is huge this spring.  Two of my very favorite bloggers seen here and here are rocking the heck out of it. Don't worry, I'll be repeating this outfit several times in the coming weeks (I ain't ashamed, if it's just too good one must share with the world) and promise a panoramic view at some point.

For this and more, check out my instagram account (CKorinchock) that I'm now permanently obsessed with...
