retro swimsuit Marc Jacobs

it's not anywhere near swimsuit season yet but with my trip to Barcelona

coming up in May, I couldn't help but search

for the perfect swimsuit.

i've always wanted a retro style swimsuit

and thanks to Marc Jacobs now I have one.

I love it!  The high waisted belted shorts are super cute and so is the top!

Can't wait to rock this at the beach!

This was a fashion STEELE clocking in at $80 from Loehmanns!

I also spotted it at Century 21 as well.

What do you think of the retro style swim suits?

 I'm really digging the retro style looks with a modern twist such as this one and also one pieces as well. H&M currently has the cutest one pieces for less than $25.

If you are looking for some great swimsuits check this one, this one and this retro one out.

the layer up

so all of a sudden its a measly 15 degrees outside. Brrrrr. I'm not a fan of cold weather

or cold weather clothing. I still want to wear my dresses and my stappy platform sandals.

so i layered up. I'm actually not a fan of layering but I have no choice now

that the weather has plummeted.

Aldo x Christian Cota Collection

last night I had the honor of attending the Vogue and ALDO celebration for the ALDO and Christian Cota Collection.

It was a night of mingling, delicious chocolate cupcakes and of course

Boots Galore!

 Loving this Christian Cota sweater and the blazer below.

 It was nice checking out the collection while catching up with a few bloggers I hadn't seen in ahwhile.

 I even got to meet Christian Cota who I was dying to meet especially since I won his designer challenge for the Saks and Stylelist Competition.

Check out what I wore to the event.

Top:Ali and Kris via Loehmanns

Leatherette Pants: H&M only $19.99! Fashion STEELE!

Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs check it out HERE

Shoes: YSL Opyum

Necklace: ALDO see it up close HERE

I thought it fitting to wear a few pieces I got with my Saks gift card and also to incorporate a piece of ALDO jewelry. I am so inlove with these leatherette leggings that I picked up a few days ago at H&M. They are peeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrfect and cost next to nothing.

I will definitely be wearing the hell out of them so expect to see a lot more of them. H&M is one of my favorite places to shop. I even got a 25% discount thanks to signing up online. They took it straight from my phone!

I think when you do what you love and are happy in life the stars align and you magically win a bunch of cool stuff.

So I won a $2000 gift certificate to Saks by entering the Stylelist designer challenge!

So I got my card and I hit Saks 5th Ave!

These are a some of my buys!

You all can't see me but I am doing a serious
