Getting dressed?

So I don't really know what came over me yesterday but I decided to actually get dressed and care about my outfit. Have you seen this shirt in your latest shopping trip to American Apparel? It's a little pricey but definitely worthy. I bought this shirt for a random reason last semester never expecting to get that much use out of it, especially since it is white but after getting so many compliments on it yesterday I am definitely rethinking the style. Here's a picture of it to show you:
A Marc By Marc Jacobs patterned cardigan paired with the white American Apparel chiffon shirt paired with turquoise free people bandeau and black leggings. A cute outfit a little preppier than my usual but I was quite lovin!

Lazy Day

This horrible weather lately has me in such a haze. All I want to do is sit in bed and watch sex and the city all day long....literally. Why make the effort to get dressed if Carrie Bradshaw does it better? Current issue on my mind besides for the government shutdown? How Christian Louboutin is suing YSL for having a red sole on their heel just like the famous red that Louboutin is known for. Damn fashion battle? My opinion? even though it doesn't really matter I feel like YSL should just abandon the red for now. Although it is not a trademarked symbol officially everyone who is anyone knows that they are Louboutins. Okay I get the point YSL is just as prestigious of a fashion house....but just leave this fight alone.
Okay so one more Louboutin issue. Boy, these little heels can cause quite the stir. So after discussing this with others recently what is your opinion? Are these $700 dollar heels meant to sit in your closet on a shelf being prayed at every night or worn to the bare of their ruby soles? My opinion when I have a pair of these babies I will wear my heart own in them. What is the point of owning them if you can't show them off a little?

Colorblocked

I am so obsessed with colorblocking right now. Especially with my shoe new love Pierre Hardy. A company that has only been around since the early 1999 the shoes have a way of being casual but could be dressed up. A simple shoe dying to be shown. Now if only the prices could be lowered about 700 dollars then I could afford them.



Supercute superfun and original! show me more please

Tommy Ton

So I have been a loyal follower of the Jak & Jill blog over the past year but I have a newfound obsession with his shoots on style.com of street style. Is it his photography skills or just simply the beauty of the fashions he finds on the street? Note to self: wear more statement pieces over summer. After living through mainly my entire freshman year at fashion school I have learned that most of my clothes could come and go as they please but there are those true pieces that I will never be able to part with. Here's some of my faves from his shoot this week from Paris fashion week.
as long as studs will still be in i'll be all good...
Btw i told you floppy hats would be in!

Since when has fashion gone orthopedic?

Looking on the nordstrom shoe site as I was #dying in class tonight I suddenly was faced with the realization why are all of spring's new shoes looking like they belong on a 90 year old? Have shoe designers decided that they can take their old designs and just stick a wedge onto it? Ugh it is going to be harder than I thought to find new shoes for the upcoming seasons! Let's take a look at a few examples:
Toms. Simple and plain hipstery shoes that can be only be worn by some. If you can carry the regular toms off it is more than likely that you would not feel comfortable wearing a wedge let alone a red wedge. EW

Slides have never been fashionable in my opinion. Yes in seventh grade they may have been cute nothing since then. So what if they are comfy? Deal.
I managed to find one cute pair of wedges that are cute especially for the fact that they are Coach. usually I am so anti coach with their obnoxious c's all over the place.

I feel like the wood will always be more chic than having any other type of wedge. At I'll leave you with one pair of my dream wedges...oh Nicholas Kirkwood you never cease to amaze me.
Anyone want to lend me $895 for these puppies?

LOLZIN

So I really can't decide what to do for summer...#wah. I feel like everything I apply to I think about halfheartedly because I don't even know what I want. Help me decide ok thanks! Oh and this is me publicly admitting that my previous post about twitter is so contradictory considering I am tweeting obsessed now. It is actually so addicting get one if you don't now! XOXO

A Wang

Alexander Wang do me please. His all new leather collection is literally to die for.
His new collection features some of his favorite old styles but brought back in all leather. It is so classic and can be worn at all collections. The perfect answer to my question of this weather is to pull out your all purpose leather jacket. Can mother nature finally decide whether it is going to be warm or not? Friday was suchhh a teaser to the summer and it's killing me. I need to spring shop but midterms are killing me...
