the leopard in the park

leopard is starting to fade out of the fashion scene as neons are rushing in.
 you know what that means...
time to pull the leopard prints back out!
this top is one that i picked up from Zara and wore religiously with everything i could find last year.
im sure it will find its way into many an outfit this year as well.
like this one during last New York Fashion Week and now as i took a stroll through my local park.

Outfit
Top: Zara see it worn differently here
Pants: Kill City via Loehmanns
Shoes: Forever 21 see them upclose here along with the rest of my Forever 21 shoe collection
Leather Jacket: Dallin Chase via Loehmanns
Beenie: Forever 21
Lipstick: MAC red
Sunnies: Ray Ban
 
 
i think the leopard with the purple colored jeans goes well. now that spring is around the corner the darker colored jeans are rolling out and the bright neons, greens and orange jeans are "in".
 i swear i've seen every bright colored jean in every major chain store in the past week! lol.
If you are on the hunt for NEON JEANS check out these, these and these!
Check out my YouTUBE video of this outfit!

My Love For Shoes

i realized that i have a lot...and i mean a lot of shoes. I love them too. if i ever came home and discovered that i was burglarized...i would check my closet first....because flat screen tv's come and go
but some shoes only are sold for a season!
check out this video i made featuring some of my favorites!

dressed in neutrals

It's so hard for me to put my whites away. I feel like winter is the perfect time to wear white especially with the weather being a balmy 50+ today.
I don't know what to wear anymore. One day is 14 degrees the next its 55 degrees.
I've decided not to pack my summer things away just yet...







Outfit
Top: Forever 21 see it worn differently HERE
Skirt: Vintage Thrifted see it worn here in another post
Shoes: Sole Society
I am dressed in all neutrals but I love the pop of the red lip and the golden top. These shoes are a new addition to my collection from Sole Society. I've gotten about 7 pairs of shoes from them so far with my free shoes for a year win that I got at the Blogger Night Out last year. This clutch is one of my favorites too.

Have an awesome weekend!

just another windy day

a lot goes into doing outfit post. well picking out the outfit is pretty simple but fighting natures elements is not. this was the windiest day of all. I mean my hair was flying all over the place.
yes....if it (meaning my hair) were longer it may have looked cool but since its only about yay long...mostly it just slapped me in the eyes.
oh the things we do for outfit photos...lol





 




Outfit
Velvet bodysuit: American Apparel get a similar one here
Pants: Cynthia Steffe via Loehmanns
Shoes: Charles Jourdan via Loehmanns see them upclose here
I got these amazing Cynthia Steffe pants on sale at Loehmanns for just $32 fashion STEELE! I'm really getting into the wide leg pant with nice structure. They are super warm too and super long which I like so I can wear with skyscrapping heels.

my little secret

Sometimes I scour clothing websites and make baskets or save items..then i never actually buy them..
but its what I do when I'm in a spending freeze. its my little secret way to shop without shopping.
but if i win Mega Millions tonight...trust me...there will be empty baskets all over the internet!
Here are a few things i am currently "saving" lol


Boots: All Saints Suede Yuka Boot
Sweater: Old Navy Waffle Knit Tee
Skirt: J. Crew Organdy Skirt
Bag: Express double handle striped bag

Come on Mega Millions! lol. Dont we all wish we could just win the lottery and buy the most amazing wardrobe on the planet??? I would wear this outfit exactly as is too. I love mixing the flower patterned skirt with the strong stripes on the bag.
do you ever go "window" shopping online too?
