@ Charity Fashion Show

( Asos Velvet dress, Target vest, American apparel heart print tights, Banana clutch, vintage ring )

I met up with the amazingly stylish Hillary of FashionIndie for a charity fashion show a while back. Many of our friends were modeling thus it was only natural that we would go to show our support. It was really just another reason to dress up - these chances come very rarely when you're in Michigan. I absolutely adore Hillary's awesome faux fur vest, I've been searching for a great faux for such a long time now, but sadly - no luck.

I decided to bust out the dark lippie for the event, I've tried this shade a few times in broad daylight, but I don't think people here are ready for that yet. I'm wearing Cyber by MAC, I am so incredibly obsessed with it. I'm also insanely obsessed with heart dotted sheer tights - and when I saw this pair at AA, I had to get them.

I shall leave you with these amazing photos from Crash #50 of Skye Stracke:

.... yeah, my jeans are ridiculous.

So I caved and bought crazy ripped and bleached jeans. They just called to me - You know how that happens. First look - you think "oh, who wears those?" and then you see them again and somehow you can't live without them. The more I look at them the more I love them. Although, I'm still not too sure how to wear them. I thought grey would have been a good match, but ofcourse I have no grey basics.

Thanks so much to Winnie for taking the photos, she's a local photographer here in Michigan and her work is honestly some of the best I've seen. Check here out here

On another random tangent... currently Loving....






On a sadder note, RIP Daul. The fashion world will not be the same without you.

Mariacarla, you're the best.

Short post today.

Finally done with dreaded Econ exam.

Bought a sick owl ring, and some crazy destroyed bleach dyed jeans.

Im still desperate for some faux. Any suggestions?

It was unnaturally warm yesterday. Ahhh global warming. I decided to bust out my floral H&M dress, I haven't worn it in ages - I feel like I have to be in the right mood to wear it. This outfit is most definitely inspired by the dear Rebecca from The Clothes Horse. I absolutely love her style and her whimsical photos in nature.

List of things that I'm really into right now:
1. Jeffrey Campbell for LF Acne inspired wedges
2. Socks with Strappy Rustic Sandals a la Burberry
3. Faux Everything
4. One Shoulder velvet jumpsuits - one shoulder everything... really.
5. Really high poofy buns


Oh, and amazing photos from the Vogue Italia beauty shoot by by Paolo Roversi. DIE.

Being the nerd that I am, I color coordinate my closet, and this morning I noticed that I own a disproportionally large amount of black clothing - thus I thought it would be fun to do a black-on-black outfit. This was my first attempt, and then I found the most amazing heart-dotted sheer black tights at American Apparel and I wore those with black shorts and I belted the blazer - I think I like that look better, but sadly there was nobody around to take my picture.

Story of my life.

On a different note, Lily Cole's editorial for Dazed & Confused is just about the best thing ever.






Ah Lily. LOVE.

OMG. AMAZING NEWS. I am officially studying abroad in Paris next semester - Who's going to be at Paris Fashion Week with me!?!!!!???

I have longed for the perfect tutu since the beginning of summer - and now, five months later, I've finally found it. Having taken ballet for ten years of my life - I know a thing or two about tutus. I wanted one that wasn't too costume-y, one that's not too structured or frilly. I also wanted the tulle to be somewhat softer - I detest cheap tulle, it's probably the quickest way to ruin a great outfit. And low and behold, I found this adorable nude tutu just hanging on the rack by its lonesome at H&M. Naturally, I had to give it a home. It didn't seem like it had too many friends in the store anyway.

I also love the combination of pastels - if it hadn't been so cold I would have gone tights-less. But I think the black tights give it a nice fall feel. Can we also talk about how amazing the faux ysl club monaco belt is!?!? I am SOOOO in love with it!!

Please ignore my nails, they're a horrible shade of pink leftover from halloween. I've been lazyyy.
