velvet and denim

I am completely aware that its scorching hot right now...and that most people wouldn't dare think about wearing velvet. but I am not most people lol. this is one of my favorite tops and I love it because its a body suit, it's velvet (one of the best materials on earth), and the color really pops! Check out the last time I wore it here. Makes me want to get my hair cut again in that style. Anywho I picked this up long ago at American Apparel and its been one of my summer favorites ever since. 

Body Suit: American Apparel | Shorts: Forever 21 | Shoes: Alexander Wang | Sunnies: Spitfire

BODY SUITS GALORE

I do love a good body suit. Check out this one and this one that I wear on a regular basis. The only thing is when you have to go to the bathroom it can be pretty..well....hectic to get the damn thing off if you really have to go asap! lol. I shot these photos in a cool hidden spot in Riverbank State Park. I've been going there a lot lately to sit by the water and watch the ducks.

Silver and Gold

Christmas is pretty much here and I'm packing my bags to head to North Carolina tomorrow.

I'm so excited that I will be spending Christmas with my family.

I got these awesome silver leggings at H&M a few weeks ago and thought they were perfect for the

Holiday Season.

Outfit

Top: Thrifted from Goodwill see it HERE

Leggings: H&M $22 a fashion STEELE!

Bag: Thrifted see it worn differently HERE

Shoes: Vera Wang Lavender

Corss Ring: ASOS

Sunnies: Spitfire see them differently HERE

Necklace: Aldo

This long velvet tee is one of my favorite tops that a scored a few months back at Goodwill for just $6! It will definitely come in handy during the winter months as a layering piece.

I also love mixing silver clothing with gold accessories such as my Aldo necklace and my ASOS cross ring. I'm a sucker for gold accessories. Check out my necklace collection HERE and my favorite place to get accessories in NY at Jewelry Plaza.

I want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday and stay tuned for a Give Away real soon.

velvet: the best material on earth

yes i have a thing for shiny, furry feeling material.

Velvet is my favorite of them all.

even though this velvet body suit from H&M is more for warmer weather with the heat wave earlier this week in NYC and my fav vintage cardigan..I made it work. lol

Purse: Vintage Coach

Even though it's colder I just can't bring myself to cover up EVERY piece of skin.

 I read once that Anna Wintour requires her interviewees to NEVER WEAR pantyhose even in the dead of winter with a skirt or dress. It kind of reminded me of the Sex and the City movie when the girls go to fashion week and even though there is snow and ice on the ground Carrie has on a skirt with no stockings but cute little booties with socks.

I dont mind showing a little calf or ankle...as long as the rest of me is covered up.

what do you all think about the stocking no stocking debate in the winter?
