The Third Piece… and No, Your Underwear Don’t Count
Zara Vest (old), White Trousers similar here, Crescent Necklace here This is where I admit to a minor obsession of mine that has recently become socially acceptable again: Outerwear Hoarding. If I had a dollar for every time I had a killer jacket or vest to wear but nothing to wear under it I would use that money to most likely by more outerwear. ‘The Third Piece’ is one of those retail-speak terms that means the additional item you throw on when you already have your top and your pants (or bottoms.) I personally love a vest as my third piece even in the warmer months because it always adds…

Friday Quickie: Take 2 PLUS Next Week’s Theme
Hat Moorea Seal, Shoes Steve Madden (old), Jumper Tobi Happy Friday! Thanks so much for popping by! I love Friday Quickie posts because it allows me to show you an outfit in a more brief fashion and perhaps share a few ideas and great pieces like this gorgeous Moorea Seal number. You see, having been a relatively short haired gal for the past 8 years I have had difficulty at times at being able to wear my ever expanding hat collection. At present my hair is at a somewhat awkward/approaching overgrown state but I can’t seem to make the decision to cut it or grow it which is quite frustrating.…

A Little Bit of Croc
Lovers + Friends Dress here, Oversize Collar Coat similar (different color but FANTASTIC here), Pendant Necklace here, Grey Boots old, similar here Ah Fall, it is officially here. As the leaves turn and the wind gathers steam it has finally become hat, scarf and boots season, yet I cannot seem to give into leg wear quite yet. This explains the 90% to Fall outfit today where I took a more evening-esque dress and played it down for a more casual fall appropriate situation. (Insert hat, boots and warm coat here.) My darling sister got married this last weekend so I am a bit less on the ball this week as…

Making Minimalism P O P
Textured Skirt Forever21, Grey Poncho Sweater similar here, Proenza Knock-off Handbag Forever21, Zara Sandal similar here In the most recent WSJ Magazine Travel is the focus of the magazine and the majority of articles. One such article featured black and white outfits against strongly colorful architecture walls. The results of white against shocking pink or tan against red is striking so I decided to attempt this idea with a minimal outfit of my own. Perhaps I have been swinging too far away from my normal colorful wardrobe palate with lots of black, white and neutrals lately but there is something so very crisp and clean about this simplicity that I…

All White Streetstyle Outfit
Zara Trousers (old) similar Here, Leith Blouse (old) similar here, French Connection Clutch similar here, Zara laser cut Heels Ok maybe all white all the time doesn’t quite work, but there is something special, ethereal and truly striking about an all white or almost all white outfit. Granted I, like all mortals, must brave the fear of stains/spills/spots etc while wearing this ghostly look but I find that I can slightly minimize this fear with textured fabrics and an off white versus a true pure white. This sartorial choice isn’t as scary as you think you just have to use a bit more consideration in your choices than when you…
