my new baby blue





 Baby Blue...you may just be my favorite.
Big enough for a small child...or atleast a spare outfit or two.
Now that I'm working like a maniac to feed my shopping addiction and running the
 NYC Fashion Bloggers Meetup Group,
I rarely have time to go home and change afterwork.  A huge fashionable bag that can fit an outfit in and a large pair of Jeffrey Campbells was a must!
I've noticed that I've collected a bunch of Urban Expressions clutches and bags without even realizing it. See a few of my favorites here, here and here!
Got this bag after eating brunch at Good Enough to Eat in NYC with a few other bloggers.
I think it was a STEELE at $50.
Check out some of my favorite bags here, here and here!

It's official..I'm obsessed with velvet. See more of my velvet loves here and here. I dont know why but I just am..so when I saw this bodysuit in AA I snatched it up so quick I almost knocked down the rack. Since the color is so vibrant I paired it with my vintage thrifted muted colored shorts...see them worn differently here. They are actually longer and hit mid thigh but I rolled them up and stapled them..lol. I can't sew and the staples actually look kinda cool.
Behold....I wear flats.
