winter wonderland

this is how you dress for the winter- layers and all.

snowflakes.

i've been on a big winter kick lately. 

but living in southern california we dont get much winter.

i'm reallly missing the snow. i went to michigan for xmas break and got a nice kick of it- but dressing for it is super hard when you're not used to it, its only been 3 years and i've lost all sense of layers and sweaters.

heres my grandmas cottage loaded with snow over christmas (up top- i'm still trying to figure out how to make the pics go in between the posts- any tips?)

cozy and chic

i love this outfit. amazing. 

i think copenhagen is probably and incredibly fashionable city- next on my travel list.

secret

heres a fact about me... I love sports.

I grew up in Boston and am a HUGE Patriots fan not to mention Red Sox fan. 

the patriots had an amazing season considering we lost our beautiful quarterback Tom Brady (who is now engaged- Heart wrenching- see picture above- wow they are beautiful) in the first game.

Anyway, they didn't make it into the playoffs, the Jets of course couldn't pull off the win. But heres to go guys- congrats on a hard fought season. 

So I'm drowning my sorrows in wine and watching the Chargers/Broncos game.

I'mm baccckk!!!

Sorry I've been so M.I.A.

It's been weird few months and now I'm in my last year of college!

I just finished my first quarter- only two left.

Eeekk! 

I'm off to the Rose Bowl flea market tomorrow hopefully I'll find some good treats.

distracted

sorry  I havent been around lately. I'm finishing up school work with finals craziness and I've decided to redecorate my room, starting with my bed. Here's a picture of my inspiration. I'm a little less than pleased that its Mischa Bartons but shes got a great style regardless of the most recent mishap.

favorites.

2 in a row! Wow! 

Here are some old and new FAVORITE looks.

I went shopping yesterday for sunglasses ended up with a rayban wayfarer inspired pair in white for 12 dollars. Anyway while I was in the fancy sunglases shop the seller came up to me and says: "I can tell you're into retro looks. the 70's perhaps?" I just laughed and nodded. Is it that obvious?

Anyway top two images are from a recent issue of Elle or Marie Claire I'm not sure. I just loove the stacks or bangles (as mine clink on my wrist typing away.) and the Boho flowy look.

Third image is one dug out from my journal a fav I found in a European magazine (I think) just such a great mixture of classy and funky and who doesnt love a great pair of high waisted tweed pants.

head-scarf start

Firstly, I want to apologize for the terrible picture. I'm working on getting a new camera because I think the exposure of this one is just off. I had to play with this image on Iphoto for 20 mins to get something presentable. I think this was friday nightish I'm not quite sure. The weather here is amazing for February but not quite that good I had to throw on a long brown sweater later. I started with the headscarf and it went from there seeing as it was one of those nights where there was no way I was going to go through with the whole straighten and blow-dry process.

Top: urban outfitters, it has an amazing cross over back and detailed sleeves, these are things I'm learning to show. Skirt: Brown American Apparel. Head scarf: I cannot remember its a pretty pink and brown mixture Boots: Minnetonka 

gloomy day

so the weather changed dramatically and has turned grey and cold therefore I've just been sitting around in leggings and a head scarf nothing spectacular.

I'm debating whether or not to go out so if I do I'll post that outfit. Otherwise I might curl up with a movie. 

So instead I searched the sartorialist and found some great pictures of attendees at the Karl Lagerfeld show for Paris Fashion Week. I've gotta learn how to use photoshop better then I can get some cool collages going and my weird artwork.

Enjoy

the glasses, the tights, the dress.

love love love.

shes great, always something quirky and new and she's at Giambattista Valli: brillant
