daydreaming/online window shopping once again. i blame it on the amazing fall-like weather indiana has been experiencing. and this time, everything you see here is something that i can afford. good stuff right there.

minimal is my middle name.

fashops.com draped pocket tee; nasty gal pony hair leopard belt; forever 21 faux leather shorts and watch; fashionology.nl hammered knuckle ring, beaded bracelets; marc by marc jacobs pyramid stud bracelet.

actually, my middle name is marie (hehe), but minimalism is huge this fall, and i couldn’t be happier. it’s what i do anyway, yo! this is my it’s-still-hot-outside-but-i-wanted-to-wear-fall-trends transitional look.

everything i’m wearing is new, and they’re all things i’ve been looking for in my never ending struggle for the perfect wardrobe. i think i’m doing pretty darn good so far with said wardrobe

calling all swedish readers!

do i have any swedish readers that are willing to purchase this lindex cardigan for me, and then ship it to me? i’d pay for it, and for the shipping of course, through paypal.

i want it in the smallest size lindex offers (extra small or small).

just leave me a comment if you can, or email cayleemariew@yahoo.com

thanks guys, you rock!

quickie outfit post.

sorry for the quality of the pics. my necklace really isn’t tarnished; it just photographs poorly.
i wore this to a dive bar with a ton of my friends last weekend.

this perfect little faux leather skirt is something i picked up at h&m last winter, and the lovely vanessa from the haute pursuit sent me this amazing secondhand blouse completely by surprise. i left a comment on one of her blog posts about how much i loved her khaki button down, and then a few weeks later i get a random package – she sent me one!

so sweet and unexpected; it made receiving a shirt i’d been lusting over that much better – thanks V

stockholm street stylefrida’s beauty is mind blowing. so is her personal style.

h&m magazine autumn 2010
this h&m aviator jacket exists only in my dreams, since my store won’t carry it, and the nearest store that will is in chicago. if you own it, i’m living vicariously through you.

Les nuances d’automne:

The Respective Artist — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 14:20:04 +0000

Since the temperatures over here are already going down it’s time to think about the new season. Hard, but true: Summer’s definately over!

This autumn it’s all about colors like camel, beige and sand. Nearly every designer had a piece of those colors in his collection, preferably a long wide coat, reminiscent of businessmen’s winter outerwear. I’m definately pro-camel but sometimes it looks a bit sallow and prude to me. To avoid such an effect I’d wear it with black leather or similar/nude colors and brown accessoires.

I already own a pair of camel booties which I bought in some little store in Paris last summer which I’m definately gonna take out again. I also spotted a nice cape in H&Ms autumn collection. Hopefully it will be available soon and for the rest – well let’s see….

h&m dress; chrishabana for urban outfitters ear cuff and chain bracelet courtesy of chris habana; fashionology.nl hammered knuckle ring, cross ring, and claw ring; lowluv x erin wasson scarab ring via tobi.com; forever 21 denim jacket, watch, and wedge ankle boots.

finally wearing this crazy awesome dress!

chris habana, one of my favorite jewelry designers (you’ve seen me wear his triple spike necklace a lot here on the blog), has created a collection for urban outfitters. the designer himself kindly lent me four pieces to photograph for you guys, and i’m wearing two of them here. i love the goth/fantasy feel the jewelry has; it gives my outfit the bit of edge that i crave. i also like mixing the dainty earring with the chunky bracelet – contrast is so good. best new of all, the pieces are under $100.

check them out on UO’s website here.
thanks chris!

classic style and trendy shapes.

camel colors, denim, structured bags, leopard print, suede boots, and maybe even some gold jewelry (instead of my signature silver) for good measure

outfit post and giveaway coming within the next few days!

Les Filles en Vogue

The Respective Artist — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 02:40:03 +0000

Sasha, Freja, Natasha, Constance and Sessilee at Hermès F/W 2010 RTW

About one month ago my lovely older sister went to France. It’s always hard to bring something along for me that I really like, that’s why I instructed her to bring some french fashion magazines only. In my opinion the french and british fashion press is much better and informative than the german one. On top of that it’s a nice way to improve your language skills… By all means she also got me the current Vogue issue and luckily for me it contained the little documentation “Les Filles en Vogue”: Sasha Pivovarova, Freja Beha Erichsen, Sessilee Lopez and Constance Jablonski were accompanied by Loïc Prigent (The September Issue and Le Jour d’Avant) during the Fall 2010 défiles at Paris FW. I totally enjoyed and loved this film of 52 minutes, because it allowed a look into the daily routine of a topmodel during FW, no matter if backstage, on, off or after the shows and contained a bunch of humour. I also liked that the models sometimes filmed by themselves. Even if the quality is not the best, it’s definately worth watching it and if only to enjoy Freja’s cool “Every thing is fine as long as I can smoke”-attitude and the prima ballerina Sasha in her sweet, freaky mannor.

Here’s a little foretaste:
