Who's Bad

(Sunnies from Barcelona, Anthropologie wool top, thrifted skirt and belt, Aldo boots)

Who's excited about Halloween? I am, I am! I have 5 parties to hit this wknd and two costumes. That's right. Holidays, I love them! How about you guys? What will you be dressing up as?!

Kick His Ask

(Treasure Chest Vintage dress, JCrew merino wool cardigan, Theory boots, Rebecca Minkoff bag)

Someone's in the Kitchen with Dinah

(Ella Moss lace dress, H&M scarf, thrifted belt, thrifted blazer, black tights, Theory boots)

Wore this out last night to hang with friends. Happy Saturday!! Hope everyone is having a great wknd.

Line I Love: Vanessa Bruno

(forward at revolveclothing.com)

I have always been such a fan of hers ever since she first came on the scene. She has such a knack for reinventing a simple staple (black top anyone?) and restructuring it to give it a fresh and modern form in a lovely, layering way.

Starbucks On the Brain

(M Missoni cardigan, Michael Stars cami, LNA t shirt dress, random leggings, Banana Republic necklace, Aldo boots, Rebecca Minkoff bag, Venti Awake ;) )

(Anthropologie poncho, Anthropologie racerback, random leggings, Aldo boots)

Weather here has been nuts (warm, cold, warm, cold.... ) , and it has just encouraged my laziness to throw on a pair of leggings when I'm not at work and just change my tops. Tsk, Tsk... wisk, wisk? Pretty odd considering I was so sick of leggings a year and a half ago that I pretty much swore off of them. Funny how that happens.

Jump Up, Jump Up and Get Down

(JCrew wool jacket, thrifted cherry print dress, H&M sweater and necklace, DKNY tights, Target socks, Dr. Martins)

These shoes make me happy! They're so ugly, they're cute! Perfect for hitting up the bookstore and shops with my friends.

This One's For You Gramps

(My Grandpa's hat, H&M sweater dress, Bershka belt, DKNY tights, Theory zip up boots)

Went to a music festival last night that ended up being not much of a festival, and then bounced to another place. I don't know about you guys, but everytime I wear a hat, guys feel the need to take it off my head or beg to borrow it, etc. What is that? I hate it.

Speaking of hats, this one belonged to my grandfather, who was hands down the funniest, most-loving best friend anyone could have. Man had style, too! He'd wear trousers, a button down, dress socks, dress shoes and a hat everyday, and depending on the weather, he'd add a suit vest and/or suit jacket or long cardigan to the mix. Even when he reached his 90s, he'd dress like that to sit on the porch. Adorable. And then he'd say funny thinks like, "Lets write Mr. Clinton a letter. I need money for a train ride and I feel like he'll understand my situation and help me out." ha! So cute.

If You Look at Me and I Like You, I'll Probably Look Away

(Alfani leather jacket, H&M racerback, Bershka leggings, Aldo Boots, Banana Republic necklace)

(JCrew merino wool sweater, Anthro racerback, Urban Outfitters bandeau, thrifted Express skirt, target socks, Vince Camuto boots, gifted necklace, Talbots headband, flea market bag) 

In case you missed it, I love patterns and color. Hats off to old lady taste!

** These pics are from Sat. night and Sunday Funday. Totally almost wiped out in the second pic walking backwards. I'm a klutz like that.

Watcha Say?

(Kova & T t-shirt, H&M faux fur vest, random black leggings, Aldo boots, Banana Republic necklace)

Sometimes I pose for pics in the Anthropologie dressing room. One of my besties came into town to celebrate my Birthday. It's the Birthday that keeps on giving. She got my lunch.... sushi and nori salad, yum!... and the new Sart book and a kick ass chain choker necklace. Thanks Ang!

Today was pretty hilarious because the BET awards are tonight here in the A and the mall was full on packed with rappers, producers and athletes. Love this city!

**Mental Note: Lighting in the Anthro dressing room = not so much.

On My Mind: Gucci Fall Winter 09-10

How about these looks are insane!! I want all of it! And those shoes in the last pic... sick beyond all means.

Bienvenido a Miami: Part 2

(Asos dress, red, satin Zara pumps)

Started off this past Saturday by switching hotels from one side of South Beach to the other. I have never done that before but it was an interesting switch... of course after brunch we started walking our way back to the original end anyway. Ha. I'm more of a socialize or chill at a fun, shaded spot than sweat away in the sun kind of girl, so kept hitting up this really cool hotel to relax in the shade on their gorgeous tiered patio facing the beach. 

Totally overheard a guy talking about a private, free NERD concert at the new W in South Beach and immediately knew I'd have to crash it. I'm feisty like that. Lets just say, totally worth it. Aside from The Racontours, hands down the best concert I have ever been too... even though 3/4 ths of the crowd was uber lame and either was sitting or not paying attention. Pharell seemed pretty annoyed, and I felt bad for him. I know the feeling of wanting people to not suck and then they, well, they suck. Lol.

Anyway, found a recording of the concert on youtube. Feel free to rock out ;)

** I think I need to shorten this dress. The length bothers me.

Welcome to Miami : Part One

(Black studded Catherine Malandrino dress, black gladiator heels from a shop in Romania, vintage clutch that use to belong to my Mom)

(Yummy food from dinner)

(Thrifted dress that I had shortened, Jessica Simpson gladiator sandals)

* Not sure what I was doing in this picture, but I think it's pretty funny. he he.

(White lace ASOS mini dress, Juicy Couture denim motorcycle vest, Urban Outfitters booties, Claire's flower pins)

Had a great time in South Beach. Stuffed my face with great food, walked and explored, hung out in the shade and hit up about a million hotels since they are such hot places to hang at when in Sobe. A great birthday all around. Hope everyone had a great wknd too! More pics to come tomorrow. :)

Fashion Love: Miroslava Duma

(pics from wellthat'sjustmeblogspot and The Purse Forum)

This chick always gets it right, and she's so refreshing to look at. I love how she wears such fierce clothes and still maintains her cuteness, a feat not often achieved by many fashionistas.

On a personal note, I'm off to South Beach tomorrow to celebrate my Birthday for a long weekend!!! Whoop Whoop!! Celebration officially starts tonight with a group of friends for dinner. I'll post pics in SOBE if I can and if not, expect hoards of pics come next week. Happy Hump day!

Pantless in the City

(Bershka tunic, leggings, Aldo boots, H&M necklace)

This was taken on Sunday, a day I often find wondering what in the world to wear. While some choose to spend their Sundays relaxing at home, my energizer bunny self if normally across the map. So, when choosing my outfit, I have to find something that will take me from one randomness to the next. 

Started the day off with shrimp, scallops and hush puppies, later went to church, had some more shrimp on a salad, along with a taco, hung afterhours at a French restaurant and then heard some amazingly awesome live music. Talk about a versatile outfit for 5 different places. ha!

She Said I am the One

(LnA t shirt dress, Michael Stars cami, Juicy Couture denim motorcycle vest, H&M necklace, JCrew skinny cords, cowboy boots from a random store in Florence, Chain leather bag from a Rome flea market)

(Rachel Roy sequin blazer, Junk Food Rolling Stones T-shirt, H&M necklace, Theory cords, Zara satin pumps)

Had lunch with my parents at my favorite bagel sandwich spot, and then hit up a few stores and picked up this Rachel Roy blazer and funny enough, a leopard print sweater at Chicos... proof that you can find something cute ANYWHERE if you know what to look for. ha!! And props to Rachel Roy for not just slapping her name on a mediocre line. Her line for Macys looks good and is made just as well as something you'd find in a much nicer spot, which we all know is fairly unusual for cheaper lines.

High School Denim

(Express denim shirt, thrifted tiered skirt, Vince Camuto boots, gifted initial necklace, H&M necklace, Urban Outfitters hair feather (not shown))

Met up with a friend at a fun sushi spot on Friday. I love sushi spots!! They're usually such fun, social places!! Anyway, I'm sporting a denim shirt that I haven't worn since middle school or high school. My mom found it in my old room at my parent's place. Hilarious. I love it!

**Sorry about the bad lighting! I guess my living room has the lighting of a dungeon! Sheesh. Note to self: get another lamp already!
