give em' the finger

thought I'd share my ring collection with you all.
I actually dont wear rings that often but when I do these are my go-to's.
My collection consist mostly of cocktail rings, a lot of which I pick up while thrift shopping.






I love my finger armor ring. I actually ordered it from Japan after seeing a girl with it on.
Got it on ebay for like $10.
Where do you buy your rings or accessories?
I like the little vendors on the street in Soho. They have the best wire rings like the two finger black and green ring.

Rebecca Minkoff Spring/Summer 2012


This has to be the cutest carefree campaign video ever.
I love Agyness...from the bleach blonde hair to her accent and awesome dance moves.
I want that multicolor blazer!
Did anyone peep how Agyness rocked a clothes pin as an earring?
Lovesies!

What do you think about the Rebecca Minkoff Spring/Summer 2012 Campaign Video?

paisley...i always fall for you

hello..my name is Monroe Steele
and I'm a paisley fanatic.
yeah I said it! paisley is freaking awesome.


Top: Forever 21 | Jacket: Dallin Chase via Loehmanns | Skirt: Vintage/Thrifted see it worn HERE
Shoes: Sole Society | Bag: London Fog via Loehmanns
do you know why I'm smiling??? it's because I am wearing hoop earrings.
seriously check out my last 100 or so posts.
I've haven't worn hoops in forever and it's because my hair was too short.
i like hoops more when my hair has more length.
im busting out my earrings and that can only mean one thing.
MY HAIR HAS GROWN.
Yay.
now...to cut it again or let it grow out...
that is the question.

retro swimsuit Marc Jacobs

it's not anywhere near swimsuit season yet but with my trip to Barcelona
coming up in May, I couldn't help but search
for the perfect swimsuit.
i've always wanted a retro style swimsuit
and thanks to Marc Jacobs now I have one.



I love it!  The high waisted belted shorts are super cute and so is the top!
Can't wait to rock this at the beach!
This was a fashion STEELE clocking in at $80 from Loehmanns!
I also spotted it at Century 21 as well.

What do you think of the retro style swim suits?
 I'm really digging the retro style looks with a modern twist such as this one and also one pieces as well. H&M currently has the cutest one pieces for less than $25.

If you are looking for some great swimsuits check this one, this one and this retro one out.

Tribal Midi Skirt with a Neon Pop

The weather last week was effing amazing.
I went ahead and unpacked all and I mean all my Spring skirts.
This is one of my thrifty finds, a fashion STEELE at $5.
I love the tribal print too.




Top: Old Navy see it HERE | Skirt: Goodwill | Jacket: BCBGMaxazria via Nordstroms Rack
Soes: Charles Jourdan via Loehmanns | Earrings: Random Street Vendor
I"m happy we atleast got one good week of amazing weather. Even though I've lived in New York City
for 5 years I'm still not accustomed to winters. Although this Winter has been pretty much
non-existent..I'm not complaining!
Mostly I'm just counting down the weeks until my vacation.
I'm also building my home office/second closet and can't wait to see how it turns out.
Spring Cleaning is upon us so make sure to check out MY CLOSET for added inventory daily!

FOREVER Wang......

hello Forever 21 bag that reminded me of Alexander Wang.



 Bag: Forever 21
Got this amazing little bag at Forever 21. I seriously did a double take when  saw it.
 Love the capped golded edges, the shape and the 3 zippered sections.
Just big enough for a book, a small umbrella and all my daily essentials.
Serious fashion STEELE at $35!
This bag is like a mixture of these 3 Alexander Wang Bags.

I have gotten so many compliments on this bag too. It kinda reminds me of a bowling ball bag
but cute nonetheless. Check out more Forever 21 bags here.

sophisticated

sometimes....sophistication is in order.


Dress: Ann Taylor | Shoes: YSL Opyum | Belt: Express via Ebay
Perfect church outfit or more business casual event.
Dress was half off during Ann Taylor's winter sale about 2 months back.
I racked up too....getting like 5 pair of work pants and this dress for about $100.
I have my sophisticated moments like this one and this one during recent outfit post.

finally the perfect boot brogue

i don't know what the hell kind of shoe this is,
all I know is I have been waiting for it.
the perfect mixture of cowboy boot and brogue all rolled into one.
and for only $36 at Daffy's.....I am BEYOND STOKED!






Boots: Nicole via Daffys (Times Square)
They also have them in a metallic silver and brown.

I don't usually go into Daffy's but made a quick B-Line when I discovered this one in
 Times Square while on my way to dinner this past weekend.
Dinner was good but the deals I scored on these babies were GREAT!
I can see myself wearing them in the spring and summer with patterned babydoll dresses
like this one and this one.
I'm debating whether or not to stud these (just the toe box)....what do you think?
Do you ever shop at Daffys?
