    The Modern Bouffant, Hint: It has Feathers

    River Island: Purchase here River Island. *I will get to the headdress in a second don’t worry.* If you haven’t checked them out as a retailer yet you probably should. Something like Topshop’s more designer knock-off focused slightly dressier cool cousin, not only are their accessories to die for, but sometimes you come across things like, well, a feather mohawk. I highly doubt I have to give you the history of the bouffant, or the beehive (see description of the difference here) but us modern, 21st century women tend to not put that much effort into our hair. We are the generation of ‘bed head,’ the ‘disheveled’ look, etc. Kate moss is…

    Sunshine & Lunch Breaks

    The Rundown: Topshop Blouse here Zara Boyfriend Jeans similar here Leather Jacket (ancient) similar here Steve Madden boots on clearance here Hi All, I am sure you, as well as I, are thrilled that I finally got my rear outside. Yay for lunch breaks on sunny days. The shoes are definitely a statement and I was going for a very Isabel Marant-esque look, although I didn’t realize it until half way through the day that it was her style I felt like I was wearing. But today is a day for pictures so please enjoy. In case you can’t tell, I certainly did. Cheers.

    Farewell Fur… for Now

    The Rundown V-Neck Top: Zara here Green Trousers: Zara here Wool Blazer: old similar here Sperry Wedge Boots here Earrings: a reworked old necklace.  Hi All! I have to apologize I have been in vacation mode and fairly slow getting back into things, yet back we are. I know I focus heavily on the weather, yet I feel like unless you live in California that is the first thing you check when you leave the house. Lately it has been starting to brighten up (this last weekend was B-E-A-utiful) however it has still been a bit chilly. I took my last hurrah the other day donning a wool blazer and a vintage dyed green…

    Crouching Tiger, Hidden Florals

    The Rundown: Shoes: Asos last seen here similar here Top: Zara here Faux leather Trousers: similar here Jacket: Forever 21 similar (and nicer) here Earrings: World Market I am not a florals person. I don’t particularly do the girly look without some sort of an edge. I look horrendous in pastels (although I sure have tried this last year..) and I particularly am not a fan of specific, non-abstract prints so the floral trend has been quite the challenge for me. When I saw this Zara top, with its architectural neckline, mixed abstract prints and bold colors I was sold. I absolutely love the green next to my neck and face, you couldn’t find a more…
