texture

what im starting to do is mix more textures within outfits. I find that its more visually stimulating to look at, especially when I see it done on other fashion blogs that I love. here I went with a linen striped jacket, a yarn like top, denim shorts and canvas heels and bag.

Jacket: Zara | Top: Eileen Fisher | Shorts: Forever 21 | Shoes: Zara | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

 

also glad I finally got to wear my new Zara heels that I scored for $19.99 at the Zara sale. they are actually pretty freakin comfortable too. although I do love this dark lippy im in the mood for a deep deep vampire red one. a trip to Sephora is in the works soon.

the perfect white sandal

excuse me for wearing the hell out of the stripe Zara oversized linen blazer. simply put it is my new go-to jacket to make any outfit go from ordinary to extraordinary lol. I instagramed this outfit a few days ago but haven't worn it until now. it was the first outfit that popped into my mind when i got these Alexander Wang White heels from a sale on THEOUTNET.com

Top: ASOS | Shorts: Forever 21 | Blazer: Zara | Shoes: Alexander Wang

 

ummm can I just say how say how super excited I am about these shoes. i'd been searching for the lizard print version but lost the bid on ebay and then these popped up on THEOUTNET.com and I couldn't resist. I now have a small army of alexander wang footwear. it is my very guilty pleasure and atleast these were 60% off! Fashion STEELE! I will now proceed to wearing them in every other post this summer. did you peek that side boob? im never wearing this top without a jacket!

Spring Trends Guide 2013: Printed tees and oversized jackets

I have gone crazy over simple printed tees. they are so easy to dress up (think boyfriend jeans, pumps and a blazer) or dress down (think boyfriend jeans, a leather jacket and wedged sneakers). I have collected a ton of them and it seems its a trend that wont die anytime soon. this is also another monochrome look! huge for Spring and right now too! Check out the rest of the Spring Trends Guide posts HERE, HERE, and HERE.

AWESOME PRINTED TEES

there are tons of Spring Trends happening with this outfit: oversized blazer, printed tee, stripes and a quilted skirt. Somehow it all works. I was stalking this blazer at Zara and finally broke down and got it (after visiting 3 different Zara's to find it!). The 5th Ave Zara (the most amazing Zara in New York City and possibly the USA) but it doesn't hold a candle to the flagship in Barcelona. this blazer is also linen so its lightweight. can't wait to rock this blazer with everything including denim cutoffs and sky high sandals. I couldn't resist the gaped tooth smile top.
