gurl, you be killin' em



everything about this shot is fierce (and normally i am perturbed when people use this word) from the contrast of the harsh spray-painted concrete and the petite caging of the nude heels, to the badass black louis vuitton bag with gold link chain. i adore the glimpse of the two-tone skirt and would love to see the rest of this outfit.

monochromatic

today in the mac lab while waiting for my professor, i was browsing for spring internship opportunities and stumbled upon where else but the louis vuitton website. my friend laurel and i were oogling the luggage and agendas, and i stumbled upon the sobe clutch. i. died. its just so beautiful. however this was not what prompted the outfit. i spotted the skirt first, which i absolutely love for late fall/winter, it looks so warm.

i first became aware of karen millen when i stumbled (almost literally--thanks to kate spade for all the champagne) into the soho store during this year's fashion's night out. absolutely wonderful, and this classic black coat is a great example of her knowledge of feminine structuring. i love sheer black tights and sometimes wish that i dared to wear simple patterned tights, especially when paired with those delicious gray suede pumps over there in the corner. sometimes with simple outfits its best to keep accessories simple.

oh and yes, those are leg warmers. hey, its almost winter in manhattan--experiment.

Off to class

let's make one thing clear. sweat pants in public are just not acceptable. under any circumstances. that goes for pajama bottoms, athletic shorts, etc. unless you are working out (hence, the SWEAT in sweatpants), there is no reason to look like a slob. it's called getting dressed for a reason.

with that being said, i sometimes find myself feeling somewhat unsettled whenever i see my fellow academic colleagues clad in their sleep-wear during the day. unless you plan on snoozing off during lecture, which i highly doubt your professors will appreciate, then please--put effort into your appearance. sure, we all have our days, but why let everyone else know that?

it really is incredible how easy it is to throw an outfit together. think about it--does it really require that much extra energy or mind power to throw on jeans and a cute top rather than sweat pants and a hoodie?

i digress. i love corals and aquas, i feel that they tend to look good on most people and are an easy way to brighten your own mood. there's something so classic about a cardigan and flats, however i feel it is always best to bring your own flair to the classics. paired with a neutral bag that you can still fit your notebook and planner in (i don't condone backpacks--unless they're louis vuitton), it's perfect for going from class to the mall.
i mean... the library?

pinch me, i'm dreaming

let's talk about fur vests. i've tried to embrace them, and have wasted many minutes of my life trying them on--only to be severely disappointed and resembling a wooly mammoth. i think i have basically given up on trying to find the right one, i have decided that some things, like me wearing a fur vest, are just not meant to be. with that being said, i was thrilled to make an outfit including a fur vest, and i died when i found one with a bow-sash detailing ribbon. there i go with bows again. and speaking of bows, there's something about cream that is so much warmer than stark white and i love this top. the camel skirt plays off the warmth of of the top but doesn't compete with the vest. i thought about throwing in a more chunky, industrial/military style shoe like this one, or these babies, or this one, or even these pretty ladies. i couldn't decide which earrings i to chose, so as usual i just included all of them. i'm so indecisive.

and the luggage... i have always said to myself (and anyone who happens to be with me when i come across it) that i'll know i've achieved financial success when i can buy myself a louis vuitton keepall, and then luggage. there's just something so classic and defined about the speedy bags and the keepalls. i'm shooting for the next five years, but so far unpaid internships haven't exactly been helping me rake up financial gains. ah well, let's hope hard work pays off.

native american sequin

the inspiration for this set 100% started with the skirt--i fell in love and then built an outfit around it. from there, i couldn't decide whether i wanted a structured blazer or another jacket, so i showed both. at first i thought i wanted a black tank, but opted for a white tee instead, which left more focus on the skirt. i randomly stumbled upon the boots and decided it was time to give those heels a break, and the accessories just sort of fell into place. i'm OBSESSED with this louis vuitton ring. it may or may not be my first major purchase when i finally land that post-graduation job...


Variety Circle

warning: there are two trends you might notice in my fashion posts: alexander mcqueen and louis vuitton.


this coat. this wool/polyester gray vivienne westwood coat has abstract qualities that i absolutely love about it--the flowy structure, the black non-pattern and the single slash of red on the front. in hindsight, i wish i had included at least one pair of black footwear, but i imagine i wanted to keep the circle of gray going (throwing in red alexander mcqueens of course). the bag is just so adorable, anyone who knows me knows i have a soft spot for bows a la blair waldorf. i love the gloves, and the accessories were just thrown in here and there when i found something fitting.
