LuLu's: a wedge sneaker love story

i'll admit i was the first to be like..really world?... wedged sneakers???

and it wasn't until i tried on this pair that something inside me clicked. the cynic side of me said...

"if this is what a wedged sneaker feels like...than I'll take two pair damnit!"

i am a through and through heel kinda girl. but wedged sneakers have indeed changed my life. i can look chic and really and honestly be comfortable at the same time. instead of going to the grocery store in my dreadful uggs and sweatpants...i go in my wedged sneakers and sweatpants. and instantly im all the more chic...even my sweatpants rock! so when i teamed up with Lulu's to do another series of my favorite things, these amazing wedge sneakers were the first items in my cart!

Jacket: French Connection via Loehmanns | Maxi Dress: MSK | Sneakers:Wild Diva c/o Lulu's

GET THE LOOK

these wedge sneakers are super comfortable and stylish not to mention they are less than $35! if that aint a fashion STEELE i dont know what is! this outfit is super basic but its one of my favorite looks that I've ever photographed. i think the glasses really set it off. i like it because i look different. its a nice change of pace. funny how the simplest of outfits turn out to be your favorite. maxi dresses are a perfect transition piece from Summer to Fall too.

back to basics black maxi

sometimes i just want to chill out and hang around the house.

for moments like these i wear my house dress.

yes..my preferred lounge clothing is a dress. basic cotton dresses.

i have about 5 of them 2 grey, 1 black and 1 green. I'm adding this new black maxi dress to the stash of comfy clothing that can go from the bed to the park with ease and a pair of thong sandals.






Dress: c/o Valrouge.com | Sandals: Newport News

this dress is less than $8 on Valrouge.com. if thats not a fashion STEELE i dont know what is! i look forward to wearing this basic maxi many many times. its super comfortable and no fuss. thats what i love about maxi dresses like this one and this one. they are chic yet comfy.

forever young

about 3 years ago i would hit up Forever 21 for just about everything.

they are always trendy.

I even worked there while in graduate school. Needless to say their "BlackOut"

policy of not taking days off during the holiday season forced me to quit.

I have kind of outgrown Forever 21 but every now and again I pop in for some basics

such as this shirt I wear religiously or these awesome little brogues.

This bright maxi really caught my eye so I guess even at 27...I can still be Forever Young!

Jacket: Dallin Chase | Hat: Top Shop | Boots: Dolce Vita |

Dress: Forever 21

Sure its hella bright but neons are in and spring in just around the corner!

Check out my favorite vintage neon dress. Also I am planning a trip to Barcelona and looking for

shopping and places to eat tips. If you know of any cool places drop me a comment!

snake skin

I am obsessed with python print. I searched high and low for the perfect snake skin maxi dress and found this gorgeous one that I wore to Independent Fashion Bloggers Conference in September.

It was a hit! I wanted to add a layer being that its kinda thin so it's appropriate for the Fall weather thats now kicking it up a notch in NYC.

Outfit

Dress: Lovers and Friends

Boots: NYLA via DSW see the rest of my boot collection HERE

Sweater: GAP

Necklace; Thrifted from Housing Works Diesel

Lipstick: Sephora Brand

Purse: Thrifted from Brooklyn Flea Market

I love this cosy sweater from GAP and the best thing is that it turns a summer dress into the perfect Fall ensemble. I really want some python print ballerina flats. I also got to break out my tiny little purse from Brooklyn Flea Market. I plan to visit the market again in a few weeks once they move it inside.

Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving!
