Blue Suede Boots
If you ever happen to stumble upon Blue Suede Ankle Boots you should probably buy them. If they are remotely comfortable and inexpensive then you should definitely buy them. Such was the case with these particular Zara booties procured last year during their summer sale (coming soon!) Like most people my original inclination when I saw these charmers in the color options of tan suede and blue suede was to purchase the tan ones. So I did. They were very attractive, comfortable and functional and fit in with my other 4 pairs of tan ankle boots that all look relatively alike. Long story short one of my friends whom I…

Happy May Day!
The Lowdown: Blouse/thing: Topshop old Skirt: Forever21 similar here Earrings: Forever21 Boots: UrbanOG Mixing prints is often difficult but incredibly fun and unexpected often in outfit however as much as I love this blouse I had a lot of difficulty with finding things to pair or with.

Once relegated to your mother & grandmother’s closets for fancy summer occasions, these unflattering yet lovely pants add sophistication and also provide opportunity for some funkier combinations. Granted this post isn’t about pushing the limit of that type of dressing, it is still far too cold for that here, but instead it’s about taking something seemingly difficult (white silk anyone?) and making it easy…

The Anti-Floral Print: Jungle Print
The Lowdown: Bomber Jacket: F21 here Trousers: Zara Sandals: old Alexander Wang (from the Nordstrom Rack for 90% off) Tribal Necklace: Forever 21 (extender = safety pins from my dresser) I don’t do girly florals, no offense to anyone out there who likes pastel flowers, they just aren’t my thing. However, floral prints are HUGE right now and lets face it, we all want to participate in the trend. So adding to my affinity for ethnic inspired jewelry, things and prints, I have decided that a more Jungle Print or ‘Island Print’ as Forever21 calls it, will suit my needs just find. Take notice: Jungle print CAN be a floral. In…
