GLADIATOR in SANDALS

I have been wanting some tall gladiator sandals ever since I spotted these Stuart Weitzman gladiator sandals on Kate Moss in his new ads. Surely though I couldn't justify spending $400 on a flat sandal...especially the kind thats really trendy and probably wont trend more than a season or two. So when I saw Karen from WDUGT blog intagram these from Zara I quickly checked my Zara app on my iphone (yes its that serious) to see these. I was too late though...they had sold out of my size. Then on a whim I visited the Zara on 5th Avenue and as soon as I walked in there they were. 3 sizes left...one being my size. At 1/3rd the price of the Stuart Weitzmans! I'd call these a fashion STEELE for sure!

Jacket: H&M | Dress: Zara | Sandals: Zara

GET THE LOOK

took these photo's at the Brooklyn Bridge park. I never even knew there was a carousel there. its so old and beautiful and really reminded me of being a kid and longing to ride on the shiny horses. they were filming some kind of movie so we weren't allowed to get too close but it was still a very nostalgic and beautiful moment. Have a great weekend everyone!

ps: thanks everyone on instagram who told me to get these! love you dolls!

flower crown

if you follow me on instagram (@monroesteele) you may have seen me in the process of making my very first flower crown. after seeing them on one of my favorite bloggers Nicole of Gary Pepper Vintage i've wanted to rock one! so i went to my local Michaels and got all the necessary materials to make one. it was also an incentive to make one being that i am participating in the Nokia Lumia and Leivankash Jewelry fashion challenge. the challenge is to use the Nokia Lumia 900 to create a mood board based on one of the Leivankash Jewelry collections. My favorite of the collections is Flora! thus i got the inspiration to make this flower crown and to do sort of a beauty shoot. its my first of this nature and it was super fun!

Dress: Vintage from Vintage Thrift | Lipstain: Stila Fiery

Makeup: Smashbox BB Cream "Dark" | Eye Liner: Sephora Cream Liner 

Mascara: Covergirl Lash Blast in Very Black 

Eye Shadow: Maybelline EyeStudio

 

i love the way the crown turned out...even though i underestimated how many flowers i would need lol. i plan to try to make one using real flowers soon! i've been tinkering with shadows and contrast on these photos. it almost makes me look like im an angel...lol.
have you ever made a flower crown?

GET THE LOOK

these photos were so fun to take. partly because i had to dodge traffic to take them on an overpass.

i love the lighting though. sometimes its fun taking pictures but it can be overwhelming when neighborhood creeps just stand and watch and attempt to take they're own photos of me with their phones O_0

anywho i am super amped that fashion week is right around the corner. make sure to keep track of all the happenings on my twitter, facebook, instagram and NYFW link.
btw...Rebecca Minkoff is having an awesome contest to win tickets to her fashion show!
check it out HERE!

the military trend is in full effect and i love it. especially since i am a die hard fan of the color green. i seriously went green crazy this past weekend picking up this top from Top Shop and this shirt and skirt from American Apparel. All of which are various shades of green. not to mention this military top i rocked a few post ago. my whole wardrobe will slowly turn green. anywho so i've been getting my outfits together for New York Fashion Week. Yes...i know its 2.5 months away but i can't help myself. i am in love with fashion and this blog and im not ashamed! but i just realized that the 5 outfits i put together all have green lol. i will be the green bean during fashion week. haha.
