some pleats, a little animal and a green blazer

blazer- zara, tank top- h&m

hi guys. i know i've been so terrible with posting. i've just had so much going on. this is what i wore on the final day i was in paris when we visited the tuileries and ate lots and lots of bread { my favorite thing}. it made me so sad to leave a place that gives me so much inspiration and is so full of joie de vivre.

this tanktop makes me feel like paying someone to stand beside me with a fan just to get that billowing effect. i liked keeping the colors simple but mixing it up a bit with different textures and prints. i have a huge blazer/vest addiction and when i saw the color of this i almost died! the cut, the color and the silky feel of this makes it so unique and feminine. we ran around the city until i found it in my size. {we actually only went to one other store...and it was right next door. but drama is much more exciting!} hope you liked the outfit! i'll be back soon with the things i loved the most about paris. thanks so much for all your lovely comments!!

spotted

you all know by now that i love a good monochromatic look...and this is about as black and white as it gets. it may actually seem silly for some, but getting dressed in the morning is so much fun for me, and outfits like this just make my day.

the outfit: explaining why i put certain pieces together is pretty tough because i usually resort to...."it looked good in my head, so i wore it". for me, personal style is about being true to who you are not not being afraid to take a few risks..or a lot. i find that dressing for myself always makes me happier and more confident when i leave the house...even it means im the only one in the street wearing a tutu, sequins or polka-dotted shorts.

stripes, fur...and a little rant

striped sweater- h&m, white blouse- calvin klein, black skirt-american apparel, fox fur-italian, purse-zara, shoes-michael kors

ladies and gentlemen....it hailed today. i mean little blocks of ice falling from the sky.

yes, it's april and we're well into "spring" { if you can call it that } so you can imagine how shocked and appalled i was to open my window to a hail storm { and possibly a glimpse of the first horse rider of the apocalypse }. i just want to go outside and get a kit-kat bar without crying a little bit into my jacket first. le sigh.

the get-up: i stuck pins into my voodoo doll of winter...so i figure it will be warming up soon. that being said, i decided to focus on some of the reasons i actually like cold weather: crisp long sleeved shirts, very warm sweaters, tights galore and muted color palettes.
