wild one

after watching Carrie Bradshaw prance around in her large bag like DVF dresses in SATC2

i've been looking for something similar with less of a pricetag.

enter this awesome zebra print dress from Mango that I picked up while in Barcelona.

i love the way it fits! just barely skimming my upper body and flaring out.

Dress: Mango Zebra Print Dress | Shoes: H&M | Sunnies: Got them at Brooklyn Flea Market

these sunglasses are so retro! i got them during my last visit to the Brooklyn Flea Market for only $10 fashion STEELE! I am a sucker for a unique pair of sunglasses. Check out my sunglasses collection here to see what i mean! i plan to add these and these sunnies to my collection soon! i like that the print on this dress is so simple and pretty neutral so i wanted to spice it up a bit with the neon H&M sandals. this is actually my first zebra print item in my wardrobe! whenever i need fashion inspiration i just pop in Sex and the City (either movie) and I am filled with outfit inspiration.
ps..dont you hate it when your photog doesn't tell you your strap is showing....grrrr #fashionbloggerproblems

whats your favorite fashionable movie?

military vest and bright blue shoes

finally got to wear my new blue beauties that I got from Elizabeth, shoe designer for L.A.M.B. and Charles Jourdan. as promised I paired them with something green. i just love this color combination green and blue. I'm also on the hunt for something burgundy and neon yellow. thats the new color combo...if you havent heard. lol.

Dress: TOP SHOP get similar here and here | Military Vest: ZARA sold out get similar here

Shoes: L.A.M.B. Italia D'orsays c/o L.A.M.B. | Bag: Remi & Emmy c/o Rebecca Minkoff

Watch: Casio | Ring: Mango Bowset Ring | Lipstick: NARS Heat Wave

the military trend is in full effect and i love it. especially since i am a die hard fan of the color green. i seriously went green crazy this past weekend picking up this top from Top Shop and this shirt and skirt from American Apparel. All of which are various shades of green. not to mention this military top i rocked a few post ago. my whole wardrobe will slowly turn green. anywho so i've been getting my outfits together for New York Fashion Week. Yes...i know its 2.5 months away but i can't help myself. i am in love with fashion and this blog and im not ashamed! but i just realized that the 5 outfits i put together all have green lol. i will be the green bean during fashion week. haha.

is there a color that you tend to buy more of and why?

obviously im a sucker for green and its because it looks great with my skin tone.

and she was called yellow

i almost threw these Mango beauties out or donate them but all of a sudden I had an urge to wear them. that tends to happen a lot. I pull items out of a bag of clothes I'm sure I want to donate on a weekly basis.

chalk it up to my indecisiveness or just really wanting to prolong the life of a piece in my wardrobe. i feel as soon as I give it away or sell it...I find the perfect occasion to wear it! does anyone else have this fashion conundrum?

 

Trousers: Mango get something similar here and here | Top: Forever 21 tee

Shoes: BCBGeneration (Old) get similar here and here | Sunnies: D&G | Bag: BCBGeneration

Ring: Mango

it was the same conundrum with these shoes. just when i thought I'd give them up...I all of a sudden was loving the snake print and pointy toe again. i cannot become a clothes hoarder though! i'm really trying to stick to selling or donating pieces i havent worn in a year or so...with exception of extra special peices like this dress I wore for new years. see this outfit in video on my

YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

how do you deal with getting rid of old clothing?

mellow yellow

Outfit

Top: American Apparel

Pants: Mango

Shoes: Steve Madden Grettta

Necklace: c/o Micky London

Lipstick: Sephora

Mango just had their summer sale and I'm so excited I scored these yellow pants. I have been wanting a pair of yellow pants to round out my pants collection. These were a fashion STEELE at $28 dollars!

A few weeks ago I visited the Micky London showroom and it was amazing! I got to see their stunning collection of scarfs and jewelry and took home this lovely necklace.

I'd been needing one this color and I love that it has a choker feel to it as well.

Have you all hit up any summer sales?

Zara has a killer one going on as well so does Top Shop...check them out online too.
