Green Piece


Today has all the ingredients to make for a lazy Monday: no work, no class, no roommates... just me and the dogs. Usually this amounts to a day full of napping, but since I slept at least 20 hours yesterday, I am not tired in the least. 

One of my daily routines is to scour the web for great looks that I find inspiring. If the look really jumps out at me, I print it out and post it in my design journal. Today, I am going to try and take my blog a little bit more seriously and post my favorite looks of the day for everyone to see. 

The following look I credit to www.lookbook.nu which is one of my favorites!

This outfit (specifically the blazer) is everything I love. Jeans are an essential for me. Although I wish I wore them less often, I always have fun dressing them up, and this look is doing exactly that. The adorable studded wedges, classic bag, and AMAZING blazer pull this look together and make me lust for just about all of it!

"Bag Lady" -Erykah Badu

For weeks I have been in desperate need of a new bag. Ideally, I would have bought a Proenza Schouler PS1 bag, but realistically, that was far out of my budget. So I settled on a bag I have been eyeing for quite some time from Urban Outfitters, and I am in love! The strap is the perfect length, it's pockets fit just enough without allowing my bag to become too cluttered, and it is just all around exactly what I needed.  

Next on my need-to-have handbag list... the perfect portfolio clutch in a bright hue (the red one on www.asos.com has been calling my name).

NYE



New Years Eve is the one night a year dedicated to absolute glamour and glitter, which is part of what makes the night so special. This year, my ideal ensemble veers away from the classic party dress, which has been done countless times. I love the idea of wearing a lanky, floor length, maxi skirt with an embellished and appropriately glittery, structured top. The elegance of the skirt with the playful, festive top is pulled together with black and gold jewelry, a classic Chanel bag, and a fierce pair of Loubs.  This outfit promises a night you'll remember.
