parisian thoughts

when i put together this outfit i was thinking of my trip to Paris next year. I am quite excited about it being that its my dream city...next to New York. when i was a teenager living in North Carolina all i could think about was living in New York City. now that i've been here 6 years all I can think about is Paris. I spent high school learning French and reading Le Petit Prince a million times (in french). i used to dream in French. im rusty now. i can read it and write it much better than I can speak it.

i cant wait to roam the streets and visit the vintage shops. i cant wait to visit Musee du Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Jardin des Tuileries, and Versailles.

but for now the closest I will get to french anything is these YSL pumps.

Sweater: Aiko via Loehmanns | Skirt: Vintage thrifted | Bag: Vintage Thrifted
Sunnies: thrifted get similar here  Shoes: YSL Opyum | Lip Pencil: Nars Train Bleu
GET THE LOOK

i love the romantic look of white on satin pearl white. i think for the winter i will be doing a lot of winter whites. the texture of the sweater is what drew me to it. its sooooo luxuriously soft. i topped the look off with a thrifted bag i got during one of my Thrift and the City Tours. I love this vintage jacquard skirt. i've had it for atleast 10 years. I got it from a great vintage shop Time After Time in Chapel Hill, NC. it cost about $10 but i've worn it to very special occasions. the last being New York Fashion Week. During my trip next year to Paris I will be there during fashion week but im all about getting to know the city and if i make it to a show or two...well that's just dandy. My dream hotel to stay in is the Mandarin Oriental Paris. It is such a serence and beautiful hotel.
we shall see how it works out!

do you have a dream city you love?

i love boyfriend jeans. some people love skinny jeans....but i love boyfriend jeans.

mainly because they are super comfortable and all you need is a killer

heel to make them instantly chic.

these new shoes are so comfortable and unique. they definitely spruced this outfit up a little.

Zara has some pretty amazing ones as well but im waiting until i go to barcelona to see if I can find better. also glad i got to break out one of my favorite thrifted purses.

i feel like julia roberts

there is something about a thigh high boot that instantly evokes the

 Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman in me!

I mean not the im a hooker part but mainly because I feel super powerful and sexy in them.

I definitely think a thigh high boot are a must-have for the season.

That way you can keep your skirts and even shorts active in your colder winter clothes rotation.

next to nothing

Outfit

Dress: LUSH via Necessary Objects

Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell Ford

Necklace: Brooklyn Flea Market get yours HERE!

Bag: Also got at the Brooklyn Flea vintage Freone Firenze

Vintage Sunnies: Got it at The Vintage Twin Event

I wore this outfit to my friend Stephanies Miss America Fundraising Party. This top is sheer so i wore some biker shorts underneath and a regular bra. I also finally broke out my work of art bag! I am inlove with it. It's so unique but very delicate so I can only wear it during special occasions!

 Although I was wearing next to nothing it was still very very hot! We've been hitting the 90's lately. It's definitely hot but I won't complain. I'm actually already starting to shop for Fall and Winter. Although that merchandise isn't out yet in chain stores such as H&M and Zara I get the goods from thrifting. I just stocked up on some Fall Blazers and a great faux fur winter coat!

Look out for my Fall/Winter Thrifting Post!

P.S.

What do you think of the lip color???

Outfit

Wrap Dress: Vintage gifted from my friend Sheena

Necklace: Thrifted at the Brooklyn Flea Market get yours HERE!

Boots: B Makowsky via Marshalls $59.99 fashion STEELE!

I went into Marshalls just to "Window Shop" and ended up spending $100 on boots get a similar pair here or here. I got these bad boys in 2 colors this color and black. They are so rocker with the silver tip toe and I love love love love love them to the 3rd power. They are super comfortable and I love the look and small heel. These boots can definitely walk all over someone...if need be :-)

The color of this dress is awesome and the boots matched perfectly with the purse I got at the BK Flea Market and my new necklace. I have been wearing this necklace non-stop since I got it and I get soooo many compliments on it too.

What do you all think of wearing super bright colors that can potentially blind someone?
