glam / camo

February 22, 2013

{gap for GQ x todd Snyder tee, ralph lauren skirt (old, similar here), cynthia rowley booties (similar), gap jean jacket, vintage bow necklace, sequin nyc bangles, sorrelli cuff}

Clearly I’m having a moment with camo, so when I saw this Gap for GQ Todd Snyder tee a few months back I had to make it mine. Forget that it’s meant for the boys – some of my best finds lately are from the men’s department. I just go with a size or two down from my regular fit, or with this tee I just knotted it up a bit. Anyway – no one’s going to question if you’re wearing mens shirts as long as you pair it with the girliest of skirts. Speaking of – this skirt is a true testament to always purchasing what you love – I wore this crinkly Ralph Lauren skirt to my junior year prom {and I recently had my 10 year class reunion…}!

the lbc (little black coat)

February 20, 2013

{outfit 1: old navy leather jacket (old), aimee scarf, haoduoyi skirt (similiar), loafers, tights, gucci sunglasses. outfit 2: gestuv coat (old, similar here), paige denim, gap turtleneck, wanted boots, marc by marc jacobs bag}

I love my bright colored and fur covered coats, but the black winter coat is a ultimate winter essential. It can be dressed up or down, worn during the days, nights, and weekends, and can make any ensemble immensely nicer. I’ve found it so useful that over the past few years I’ve acquired ~~a couple~~ several. When you can buy something that never looks dated year after year, I’d say it’s worth investing in.

behind the scenes with herve leger

February 19, 2013

While in NYC last week I stopped by the Herve Leger / BCBG showroom to get a sneak peek at the hair and makeup run through before the Herve Leger show. The look was natural, pretty, and light, which kept the focus during the show on the intricate, beaded, and swingy creations that came down the runway. While it was fun to get a behind the scenes view of what goes into the final planning stages before a show, my favorite part may have been just seeing the model get all done up, while sitting there in her slippers! Proof that not even models run around in heels all the time.
