Zara for the win!

Last night was one of the best days I have had in ages. I spent the whole day with

my boyfriend. Woke up and had a good and late breakfast, getting dressed and freshen

up a bit, and we head for the door. He went shopping with me and actually did a 

very good job. So my closet is now ready for the cold winter that's coming. Went

also to try and fix my camera, but wasn't much to fix. So I guess I'll have to live 

with it for a while. Then we wen't to the best café in town. To grab a cup of coffee.

Later that night we made dinner to gather, and I even got him to watch Valentine's 

day with me. It was a pretty great day. And soon leaving for my cabin.         

Basic Brunch Ensemble

I went out to brunch with some friends, which seemed to warrant a bit of dressing up. I kept the color scheme simple with a pop of color. I think better accessories would have amped up the outfit, but who has money to buy accessories when you're trying to set up your first house?! lol

Biker Chic Meets Ruffles

I went out to dinner with some friends the other night and decided to wear something girly with my biker jacket.


I rocked my peep-toe suede booties with my biker-esque jeans that Martin + Osa sent me as a free sample. LOVE these jeans - they are one of my fave pairs.

Looks like they're only available online in white now.


And I added a baby pink, ruffly tank.

Work Chic - Winter Skirt

Wish I had a better picture of this outfit but it will have to do. I rarely wear this skirt because the top of it is itchy. Ick! But, but the easy solution is wearing an undershirt to tuck into the top of the skirt so the itchy top doesn't touch my skin.

Sorry about the first picture, very flattering with the toilet in the bacground, haha but what you gonna do about it. I started this morning with shoothing some pictures of my outfits, thinkin that this day would be the same as all the other ones. i was very wrong.
I brooke up with my boyfriend to day, or he broke up with me. And that was so hard for me, for him to.
we have been to gether for 1 years and 4 mounths or something. And we have been through so much, to much for people in our ages. And i love him to death, and he will always be my best friend, and i hope we get back to gether one day. My biggest wich. To bad you cant force people to like you. But i'm all cried out, and look like a horible mess. And it feels wirde to wright about it, but good in the same way.
And i really hope i'll feel bether soon even to i'm hurting like hell, so i can post more outfits. So i hope u wil continue to check by now and then.
peace out

winter cold

 

(jacket zara, jeans Diesel, Boots i have no idea)

It's snowy and cold, the skin is pale, the nose is red and the thighs is bigger after all that damn christmas food.

Just can't help it, it's to deam good. But no turning back now, it's 2010. So a life full of healthy food and plenty of work out is coming up, or at least for the couple of first week. i'm i right? I have so many new year promises, question is... can i actually stick to them? Only time will show. But i will still buy piles of shoes, keep on fashion blogging(witch i just started) and try to look my best at all times! And wish all fashion lovers a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Fashion isn't just something you put on in the morning or buy in the store,

it's take time, creativity, intrest, and style.

In my 16 years of living i have always been intrested in

fashion.

And now i study design in school.

One of my favourit part of fashion is, combining.

When you where a outfit it dosen't have to be super expencive

and all high brands. My key is combo.

You can take somthn cheeper, or old and mixit up

with somthn new, hip, more glamorous or more expensive.

and you can have a rocking outfit.

You can take an outfit, and tone it down or dress it up.

Fashion is fun and joy.

Little Black (Asymmetrical) Dress

Went on a date w/ hubby awhile back and wore my fave Little Black (Asymmetrical) Dress

We were swinging by the mall and I had some socks I was considering returning, so please pardon the randomness in my hands. Hubby told me all the stuff I was holding would ruin the photo...he was right! I should have listened! lol



Dress: BCBGirls
Shoes: Dolce & Gabbana

Tailored Teal

Gah! I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted. Some of you who read my other blog know that I recently moved from an apartment to our first house...yippee! Things have been pretty crazy since the move.

Here's an outfit I wore (before moving) to work one day:

This outfit was surprisingly comfortable and a slightly more casual business look for the work week.

Skirt: Banana Republic
Top: Banana Republic Outlet (a major deal at $7)

Appropriate-ness Over Balance for Work

Decided to wear jeans again for a casual work day. I thought about doing my new skinnies, which have a dark wash and aren't too-too tight, but decided best to leave those for after hours. I think this top would look better with slimmer pants, but my desire to be work-appropriate outweighed my desire to balance my ensemble.


Simple look - I let the accessories be the stars. My long crystal J Crew necklace has become quite the outfit staple for me.




My new J Crew Parsley Metallic Mary Janes. I first saw these in an old J Crew catalog and thought they were gorge. I decided to not buy them, but when I found a new pair on ebay for a decent price, I jumped!

The shoes are more green than they looked in the ebay photo. I think my pictures is more true to color, but it's still a nice, toned-down green. I like them a lot and they're surprisingly comfortable. My only (minor) complaints are the rounded toe is narrower than other round-toe shoes I've worn and the straps are rather tight. I do like how they're adjustable, though, since most shoe straps seem to stretch at least a little bit.

Sunny End-of-Summer Festival Attire

I went out to a local, outdoor festival with hubby recently. In honor of the last days of summer, I picked a bright yellow top and white cropped pants for style and comfort


(nice and breezy for that hot-hot sun!)
I haven't worn these pants in a couple years...mostly because I outgrew them. Thanks to getting back into working out, they fit again! I should have tried them out earlier in the summer for maximum wearage. Still, it was a great feeling when they slipped on perfectly.


I wore a simple golden chain with clear, faceted crystals. Isn't the seahorse pattern fun? I got this top awhile ago during a J Crew final sale.

Channeling Carrie Bradshaw: J Crew Ruffled Skirt

I've been stalking items on ebay lately in hopes of finding some good deals. My fave so far - the J Crew tiered ruffle skirt in barely gray. So...so chic! I took a risk getting a size too small, but found a nice review over at Goldenmeans saying the skirt ran big. At one size smaller than what I normally take, I took her advice and she was sooo right! The skirt fits perfectly!


Since there was already a lot going on with the skirt, I decided to pair the skirt with a simple cardigan.


My new gold, J Crew skinny belt helped cinch in the waist to add definition


Pearls keep it classy and the tank underneath helps with layering and adds a wee touch of lace


Love the ruffles!


This is my new fave skirt. I felt a little risque wearing this number to the office and though I think the look may not be the easiest to pull off, it is certainly fun to try!

My co-worker gave me the sweetest compliment when she said my outfit looked like something Carrie Bradshaw would wear and that it was very Sex and the City. Suh-weet!

Skirt: J Crew
Shoes: J Crew
Tank top: Abercrombie + Fitch
Cardigan: Gap
Belt: J Crew

NOTE: I got my skirt from ebay seller WestieGirl4me - she has 2 more ruffle skirts left if you want one, too! WestieGirl4me was an awesome ebay seller for me - she had great communication and was very helpful. Many of her items ship for free, too, which is a nice bonus.

Catch Me While You Can...

I'm trying to catch the last warm bits of summer while I still can. I'm pulling out my fave summer/warm-weather pieces and rocking them out as much as possible.

This casual sleeveless dress is a personal fave because it's so easy to throw on and wear with metallic flip flops. The material breathes well in the heat and it's pretty darn comfy, too.

I was meeting friends for brunch at a local fave spot, so I went a little dressier than norm by wearing summary heels instead of flat flip flops. I brought a cardi in case things were cool inside but totally didn't need it. The internal temps were just fine and the food was just as good as usual.

Music on the Patio

Hubby and I met up with some friends for dinner followed by music on the patio of a local shopping center. The weather is taking a turn towards fall, but the air is still warm. I decided to wear something breezy but bring a cardigan in case things got colder than expected.


I started with the skirt because it's one of my faves.


I added the bright yellow tank top for a little extra color and because the yellow reminded me of sunny summers that will soon be over.


The cardigan is a light yellow knit to help me stay warm as the night cooled things down. I ended up only needing it when we hung out with the boys who were watching games at the restaurant bar. The weather outdoors was phenomenal!

Working Woman - Girly Layers

I love wearing my super girly ensembles to work now and again. The short-sleeve button down paired with a simple skirt is a fave...add on a cardi and it's extra girly. I wore warm neutrals in honor of the incoming fall weather.


Outfit with cardigan...rocking out my new J Crew final sale heels!


Outfit without cardi - love this style for work!


Outfit re-worked for the cooler evening weather and my desire for comfort. I really need to teach hubby how to style my better...I'm not liking the way this outfit looks in this photo.

Anywho, for the last outfit, I kept the shirt and cardi and replaced the skirt with skinny jeans, the heels for flip flops, and added a scarf for warmth. Had to lose the belt, too.

Pop of Color-icious

I've been paring down on the shopping, but I have managed a couple good buys here and there. One such buy was this long cardigan from Banana Republic, on sale for under $30...score!



I love wearing black and white combos with pops of color. A simple green tee did the trick on this outfit and got dressed up with a patent leather belt to cinch the waist.
