Shamless Selfies

  

Ok. So. I have come to the realization that I will never have someone readily available to take a daily outfit pic, let alone a once a week outfit pic. Therefore I will fill my blog with shameless selfies and other posts such as the "What to buy now.." and misc. stuff. 

Anyways. This outfit was one of my recent favorites because to me a good outfit is 1. Comfortable enough to walk around all day in NYC without bringing a separate pair of shoes (sneaks/flats) 2. Expresses my exact mood that day 3. Has something unexpected (the pleats in this skirt or the cute tiny purse necklace)

Also these shoes were a recent purchase from the Zara sale and I love the pop of color they bring to any outfit !!

Latest WANT

Went into Aldo's the other day and fell in love with these sandals (way cuter in person!)... Definitely going to be on my bday wish list, if I can wait that long!

You can check them out here!

What to buy NOW: Espadrilles

Your feet are going to thank you for this latest buy! Espadrilles ! With the ever popular Chanel Espadrilles (see below), it seems like every other major designer was soon to follow suit. Including Valentino, Jimmy Choo, Marc Jacobc, Charlotte Olympia etc... And lucky for everyone on a budget these shoes are super affordable without sacrificing style. You can find similar styles in Forever 21, Zara, and Shopbop has a few cute style for $40. Definitely grabbing a pair now to wear out over the summer!

Spring Inspiration

ITS FINALLY SPRING! Now I am just waiting for the weather to match the title! Here are a few pics to get inspired for the warm season and brighten up your day.

B&W

Its impossible to ignore the black and white craze going on. It was big in the Louis Vuitton, Alexander Wang, Celine, Prada S/S collections, and its in every store display currently. 

This trend is amazing for so many reasons beginning with versatility. I don't know one person who doesn't have a white shirt and black pants. So there you go, there if your first trend appropriate outfit! Now you can take it to the next level by wearing both pieces with a b&w print on them. There is no such thing as b&w prints that clash, therefore you should go crazy. Wearing any and all of your black and white prints together, and your outfit will look as amazing as the pictures below. Add a pop of color on your nails and your a trendsetter. 

Another reason why this is so amazing is because you can buy all the black and white stuff you want and regardless of when this craze ends you can continue to wear them if not together but separately, or maybe with the next craze (ex. white top with colored jeans). 

Black and white weren't invented yesterday. People have always been wearing all black or all white outfits. Its the fun mixing and matching (see below) that have me inspired to create new looks based on this trend.
