Ain't Laurent without Yves

I am a huge YSL fan. And yes...it's weird without that "Y". I bought my first pair of YSL's in 2011 and have worn the hell out of them. They are just the perfect classic pump and I will love them forever. When I saw this tee in Urban Outfitters I had to have it. I have since worn it about a million and one times including on a date night with my beau to Benihana's while wearing my YSL's.

thanks to everyone on instagram who told me to get these camo jeans! I'm telling you Forever 21 has been surprising me a lot lately. Fun fact: I used to work at Forever 21 (the huge one in Union Square). I must say...I met some awesome people but I still cringe when I think of the late nights I spent re-organizing sections of the store only to see them destroyed again the next day. Anywho these jeans are the perfect fit (yall know how hard it is to find the perfect fitting jeans) and they are perfect shade of camouflage. I love how the red wangs pop against the camouflage too. Kinda unexpected but somehow it all works. I'm on a printed tee kick right now. I'm even having some made...especially for fashion week! Yes, its right around the corner and although I'm gonna try to take it easy this season I'm already getting butterflies. First comes New York...then comes Paris! Eeeek!

t-shirt and jeans

on days like today...I want a no fuss look. here is a twist on the basic t-shirt and jeans. this top was a fashion STEELE from Loehmann's. It was on sale for a mere $12 and it's Rag & Bone! I paired it with my current favorite H&M distressed jeans and YSL pumps. Since it seems I wont be venturing out into the 16 degree weather I will be entertaining in the warmth of my apartment.

can't believe fashion week is right around the corner! i'm usually well prepared but I must admit I haven't picked out a single outfit lol. I have to get on my grind...this is definitely the calm before the storm.

feather skirt

yes...I know...its cold outside. these photos were part of a story I had to turn in to Glamour.com about ways to style a blazer. this is one of my favorite blazers. i love the inner lining and the matching sleeve cuffs. it's a great piece to make any outfit just that more chic. although...the blazer is nothing compared to the feathery goodness going on beneath it.

i got this skirt from ASOS a few months ago when i convinced myself i would wear it for New Years and of course promptly changed my mind and went with this sequin number instead. but i will definitely get some wear out of this skirt in the spring and summer. it is the perfect date outfit!
