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.

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!

Yedi Bandwagon

I've officially gone and jumped on the Yedi Bandwagon. I used to be one of the ones who said WTF I'd never wear a Yedi but here I am eating my words.

Fashion has a way of wearing you down..literally!

Outfit

Coat: Sinequanone via Loehmanns check out my other fashion STEELE's from there HERE

Top: Thrifted from Housing Works see it worn differently HERE 

Pants: H&M

Shoes: L.A.M.B. via Loehmanns

Sunnies: D&G

I love how the inside of this coat is such a rich purple color as well. I'll tell ya one thing this yedi sure keeps me warm. Speaking of warmth, I've been really into tea lately. It is my new passion and I just discovered Argo Tea in Flatiron and am OBSESSED with it.

What are your Winter obsessions?

fashion isn't always expensive

but these YSL pumps and this Marc Jacobs bag sure as hell were.
teehee
I guess we all make sacrifices for "investment pieces"

Outfit
Pants: H&M see them in another post HERE
Top: Forever 21 see it worn differently HERE
Shoes: YSL Opyum
Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs
Necklace: Modern Tibet

I have a feeling I am going to be wearing these harems A LOT! They are so chic yet soooo frickin comfy! No wonder I've been wearing them sooo often . Decided to break out my YSL's. I really love them. They are indeed the tiniest heel I own but the pointed purple tip is very sophisicated.
I'm on my grown women ish in these CFMP...(can anyone guess that those letters mean?!)
haha if you figured it out.
I got the bag and the shoes on my visit to Saks when I won the Saks and Stylelist Competition.
It was actually my First time ever in Saks and I was mesmerized by all the amazing clothing.
I also had a great time with my customer service rep. She basically took me from floor to amazing floor helping me pick my items.
I felt like queen of the world!

all DRESSED up and nowhere to go

i got this really cool sweater dress at the Blogger Closet Raid this summer.

I really love how heavy it is and the weird fur-like sleeves.

Outfit

Dress: Cheap Monday

Necklace: Thrifted...see it and my other jewelry in my Jewelry Haul YouTube Video

Shoes: Charlotte Olympia

Lipstick: Sephora Brand

I'm actually quite used to going out on the town by myself. a few weeks ago I went to brunch at one of my favorite spots in Harlem Il Caffe Latte. I always get the same thing: Chai Tea Latte, Ham, Mushroom and Feta Omelet and a croissant with jam on the side.

It's so weird how people stare when you eat alone.

single people like brunch too! lol

Of course now its too cold to wear this now without opaque tights....ahhh how I wish Indian Summer we had just a few weeks ago (insert sad face here). Ohhh BTW American Apparel has the BEST opaque tights for winter and they really last..but I always buy 2 pair to get me through the winter!

what do you like to do alone?

I actually LOVE to SHOP by myself.

 

Check out my SHOP for some new Inventory!

I actually wore this ring and boots in another outfit post HERE. Now I don;t play favorites with my shoes but these boots are extra special (who can quote me where that line came from???)
