Silver and Gold

Christmas is pretty much here and I'm packing my bags to head to North Carolina tomorrow.
I'm so excited that I will be spending Christmas with my family.
I got these awesome silver leggings at H&M a few weeks ago and thought they were perfect for the
Holiday Season.










Outfit
Top: Thrifted from Goodwill see it HERE
Leggings: H&M $22 a fashion STEELE!
Bag: Thrifted see it worn differently HERE
Shoes: Vera Wang Lavender
Corss Ring: ASOS
Sunnies: Spitfire see them differently HERE
Necklace: Aldo

This long velvet tee is one of my favorite tops that a scored a few months back at Goodwill for just $6! It will definitely come in handy during the winter months as a layering piece.
I also love mixing silver clothing with gold accessories such as my Aldo necklace and my ASOS cross ring. I'm a sucker for gold accessories. Check out my necklace collection HERE and my favorite place to get accessories in NY at Jewelry Plaza.

I want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday and stay tuned for a Give Away real soon.

velvet: the best material on earth

yes i have a thing for shiny, furry feeling material.
Velvet is my favorite of them all.
even though this velvet body suit from H&M is more for warmer weather with the heat wave earlier this week in NYC and my fav vintage cardigan..I made it work. lol













Outfit
Velvet Bodysuit: American Apparel see it worn differently HERE
Skirt: American Apparel
Cardigan: Vintage from Finderz Keeperz Vintage Boutique
Boots: Vera Wang Lavender see my boot collection HERE
Purse: Vintage Coach
Even though it's colder I just can't bring myself to cover up EVERY piece of skin.
 I read once that Anna Wintour requires her interviewees to NEVER WEAR pantyhose even in the dead of winter with a skirt or dress. It kind of reminded me of the Sex and the City movie when the girls go to fashion week and even though there is snow and ice on the ground Carrie has on a skirt with no stockings but cute little booties with socks.
I dont mind showing a little calf or ankle...as long as the rest of me is covered up.
what do you all think about the stocking no stocking debate in the winter?

Fashion Steele of the Week: Glove Up

This weeks Fashion Steele comes from two different places but are the same.
It's getting colder and it's time to glove up.
I've seen such fashion statements made with clever and unique gloves.
I went on the search for a great pair under $35 and found 2 awesome pairs!

Fashion Steele of the Week Nov 7th

Happy Monday everyone! It's that time of the week again for
 Fashion Steele of the Week!
This weeks Steele comes from ZARA.
Zara is one of my favorite stores but I don't buy to many items there being that its a little out of my price range. It seems lately that everything there is like $20 more now from 6 months ago.
There are still a few things you can get for under $50 that are investment pieces.
Check out the Fashion Steele's from previous weeks on my YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

What do you think of this weeks Fashion Steele and are you a fan of ZARA?
see some of my other Zara buys HERE.
