Rings

From top left, clockwise: locket ring by Free People, silver rings I picked up in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, a ring I got for 1 euro in Paris, and a hulking cocktail ring I got at Intermix.

Usually I'll wear one of these to add interest to my outfit, depending on the color scheme, theme, or feel of what I'm wearing, but today I just decided to throw them all on at once. Sort of a gypsy meets batty old lady style that I'm digging.

Dancing Dress

Dress by Xinya, worn with Juicy Couture clutch and Kate Spade heels

Got this dress a while ago from Neiman Marcus Last Call, and wore it to a few dances... it's really fun, though my mother did comment that it looks like an Olympic figure skating dress.

To which I responded, "What's wrong with that?"

The Lion, the Wedge, and the Wardrobe

I'm in love with these gorgeous new patent-leather Prada wedges!!

My favorite vintage belt: gold, skinny with adorably tiny little lion heads on the clasp

The other night I went out to dinner downtown, which was great, but I spent a majority of the time obsessing over my new Prada wedges, which are actually quite comfortable and crazy gorgeous - my mom found these puppies at Neiman Marcus.

Used the lovely little belt to cinch together a dress I fashioned out of an oversized netting/lace top from H&M worn with a gold sequined Free People slip underneath.

Sheer Genius

Wore this to school the other day...

My new Free People blouse and tank top, worn with Sevens skinny jeans, a Juicy Couture velvet jacket, my favorite new patent-leather Prada wedges, the usual chunky white Toywatch, and a necklace I "made" by putting an antique brass key on a silk cord.

I loved this top so much I got it in a cream color as well!

Holiday Wish List!

The holiday season is FINALLY here, and you know what that means... yes, presents for family and friends, but moreover, a new list of gorgeous things I absolutely have to have!

1. Sequined party dresses (see Balmain, Pucci, Alice+Olivia)
Not that I go to lots of parties, but if I had a dress like this one, I figure the parties would find me!

Sidenote: I loved Emma Stone in Easy A - she was hilarious and so endearing! (Not to mention, she's gorgeous.) It's such a funny movie, I suggest you watch if you get the chance.


2. Over-the-knee tights and socks: insanely cute and leg-lengthening - what's not to love?

3. a leopard-print coat (a la Brigitte Bardot)

There was a good picture of Bardot herself in a leopard-print coat in Lucky a while back, but I couldn't find one online so I got the next best thing...

Yep. Kate Moss.

Anyway, these coats exude effortless glamour, and remind me of this:

Ahh, classic Season One Gossip Girl (what's up with Season Four? we can chat about that later).
Incidentally, it happens to be Thanksgiving today, so a big Happy Thanksgiving! to my American readers!

4. opulent flapper-style dress (drop-waist, fringe, perhaps some beading)

Anna Sui had some amazing ones last season (see right):

5. various boots: Victorian-style lace-up boots (see above, left), over-the-knee boots, and ankle boots

Mmm, just writing this list makes me want to go shopping...

Luckily tomorrow is the infamous Black Friday. Unlike years past I don't think I'll bother getting up at 1 am to go shopping... but I will pop into several stores once the sun's up!

Hey Street Boy, What's Your Style?

Juicy Couture top, Sevens miniskirt, Converse shoes, vintage silver bangle

You know that old Runaways song?

Yeah, I saw the Dakota Fanning movie, too.

Anyway, this outfit I wore to school made me think of it. Though the pictures turned out a lot less grungy than I'd hoped... admittedly, "grungy" is not exactly my thing, but I got this super-cute skirt so I thought I'd have some fun with it. The pictures turned out a little "runaway girl escapes to the woods and befriends imaginary fairies," but I think it's just the lighting.

I've been ridiculously busy, but there's more to come!

Hey, everyone! I just got back from a rather long trip to Boston and NYC. Sorry for the lag in posts, but now that I'm back, you be seeing more of me!
