Time Traveler

I've had this J. Crew tunic for a while-- its delightfully breezy and bright, but one of those lengths where its too short to be a dress {at least for work!} but too long to be a top. Its got this fantastic print made up of vintage travel posters-- whether its copies of actual posters or just based on them, I love the idea.
Retro + Travel + Fashion = automatically obsessed!

Top: J. Crew {try the French themed popover, its on sale and so cute!} // Dress: Madewell
Belt: Vintage Yves Saint Laurent {Mustard Seed score}

Bracelets: J. Crew // Nail Polish: Essie 'Fiji'

{details...love the vintage travel poster vibe}

Bag: J. Crew // Heels: Zara {try these}

Its a Tie

What started off a ways back as the odd shirt tied at the waist, has now become an almost weekly {if not more}occurrence. Shirt too big/long/wide for the outfit? Voila! Instead its better fitted and helps nip the waist in, always a plus. I feel like its a good way to balance out an outfit and keep it from being either way too OTT or way too boring.

Back in Black

While my top obsessions may be sequins and feathers (hmm..and leather), the next one would be any item of clothing made out of neoprene/scuba material. I don't know if its the feel of it, the fullness or the fact that it happens to magically hide any areas you are...less than pleased with...but I love it! Plus, what better backdrop for a statement necklace like this than all black?

Faux Real

I can't even remember when I first became obsessed with pretty much everything French {minus you know, having to study it and all in high school} so it goes without saying that I have a strong desire to make any item emblazoned with French words or phrases mine. You know what makes a French phrase better? Putting it on a perfectly fit and cozy sweatshirt, so perfect that I even work it to work.

Another obvious obsession is with anything leather, real or faux, which you should already be aware of if you have met me for even a second {or of course read my blog..and thanks!} Combine all of these and you have my perfect uniform.

Shirt: Elizabeth and James // Sweatshirt: Madewell // Skirt: H&M {similar here and here}

Nail Polish: Essie 'Midnight Cami' // Bracelet: HRH Collection 

Can't stop doing the whole thigh socks + over the knee boots! Love how it looks, and major bonus that it keeps me warm too

Why yes, I am wearing my Stuart Weitzman 5050's for the millionth time!

Dynamic Duo

There are lots of famous duos-- Peanut Butter and Jelly, Yin and Yang, Sonny and Cher -- but I think one of the most perfect is that of denim and leather. It can be ladylike one minute and then badass the next. Each material is so versatile on its own, so together they are unstoppable. Plus, it helps if you have at least 2-3 versions of each (in my world at least.)
