H&M chambray shirt and black stone ring; secondhand belt; forever 21 skinny jeans, boyfriend watch, stud hinge bracelet, and chain bracelet; marc by marc jacobs pyramid stud bracelet; CHRISHABANA triple spike necklace; fashionology.nl hammered knuckle ring and claw ring.

see, i do like color…as long as it’s muted shades of blue.
you’ve probably all seen H&M’s huge denim/blue campaign by now, and we are encouraged to wear those to work in support of it. i was stoked to play with all of the denim already in my closet and as a result put together this look – my version of the texas tuxedo, haha. i already love it. picture me with my frye 8R harness boots too.

what do you guys think – it’s already been seen everywhere from alexa chung to lookbook.nu, but does denim on denim tickle your fancy?

oh and big shout out to rachel p., my first reader who’s recognized me in public (on a hectic day at work no less)!
if you couldn’t tell, i was shocked/flattered/embarassed!
thanks for all of your kind words. =)

all clothing and accessories via H&M

putting my employee discount to good use and buying up all kinds of warm-weather gear in preparation for spring.
the top has these huge bell sleeves and it’s long length makes it great as a beach cover-up (i have it folded in half here); i love the high waist on the shorts; the swimsuit is perfect to mix and match with my old black bikini; and the bag is very wang-esque with its soft matte (faux) leather and all of the zipper details.
i’m still on the lookout for the ideal flat and wedge sandal.
thank you for all of your support for my blog, as always – seriously, it’s amazing.
new posts may be nonexistent until late this week when i get a new charger cord for my laptop (mine broke, boo). i’ll get back with all of your comments then too.

H&M oversized cardigan sweater; secondhand suede shorts; forever 21 lace top, opaque tights, chain bracelet, boyfriend watch, studded watch, and double finger cross ring; CHRISHABANA triple spike necklace; fashionology.nl hammered silver ring and claw ring; steve madden booties.

heeeeere’s the lace top.
all out girly is not my thing, so for this valentine’s day look, i of course had to add a bit of edge via the suede shorts and booties.
by the way, i scored these shorts on ebay for 5 dollas – holla! haha.
do you like the soft pink tint i gave these pictures? a nice change for this post =)
p.s. here’s the rest of my fashion week faves (along with these and these) – the row, diesel black gold, rebecca taylor, charlotte ronson, proenza schouler, and jill stuart. did i miss any other good shows?

Actually I’m totally into Olivia Palermo’s style since she is always looking elegant but yet cool and stylish. When I saw this pic of her at NY fashion week I was a little disappointed though. This plaid shirt destroyed the entire look which would have been absolutely stunning and Olivia-like with a simple white/black shirt.
