matchy matchy

Don't forget to tuck in your FUPA

 I am a firm believer in punching up your outfit with bright accessories, and as you can see in the above photos I got a little carried away with the yellow suede. Is it fashion faux pas to match your shoes and bag? Who cares!

gold accents

I was feeling a little gold crazy the other day and this is what ended up coming together quite effortlessly. This perfectly asymmetrical knit with gold sequin elbow patches was a recent score from the LF Sale in La Jolla, and it also just happens to fall beautifully off the shoulder. I paired it with an oversized gold clutch, and if you look closely, even the shoes have gold studs along the top of the platform. I topped it all off with gold polish on my fingers. Voila!

plain and simple

Jeans and a T-shirt are an easy go-to look for me. With the right accessories you can make the look work in a million different ways so today I went with a leather vest and cuffed the jeans to show off these killer heels. With the intricate chain detailing they are the perfect mix of feminine and bad ass, don't you think? 

T-shirt, Vest, Jeans: 7 For All Mankind

Shoes: Jean-Michel Cazabat

Accessory spotlight: Marni for H&M

While perusing H&M the other day I remembered that the Marni collaboration had literally just debuted the day before. Even so, I was too late and there were very few items left to choose from. I was able to scoop up these earrings from the collection, they got my attention as they reminded me of little dragonflies dangling in the box. A score at $20. 

I wish I had the sense to go shop the collection sooner, I would kill for one of the sequin collars! 

What do you think?

monochromatic layering

I was in a blue mood today, sartorially speaking. The prepster inside me paired the pastel blue button-up and cobalt sweater with clean white skinnies, so I toughened up the look with a denim over shirt and studded bag. I really like the overall effect, very menswear inspired. Then again, how many dresses have you seen me wear? (...crickets...)
