As most of you know, I'm a sucker for menswear on women; it exudes such strength and power. I added an element of sex appeal with this lacey number. The pants are vintage Dior - truly a diamond find at my local thrift shop. I won't even tell you what I paid for them - it's sinful. How do you feel about this leopard bag? I'm a bit on the fence with it. To be sure, I've been searching for a leopard print purse for some time, but I'm just not sure I'm 100% on this guy.

Gorgeous looks from the models off duty during Milan fashion week. 

I also threw in this fab image of a fringed Cavalli dress. DIE!

falling for military

So I've finally hopped aboard the cargo train,  in the past I wouldn't have been caught dead in this trend but these tapered ones paired with one of my favorite H&M blouses comes off effortless and easy for a casual weekend brunch.  Next on my list is investing in a military inspired jacket.  I think olive green is quickly becoming my go to fall color.

I had a creative and lovely autumnal weekend.  It was spent drinking cider, bbqing, picking pumpkins, sampling kettle corn and tackling antique and thrift shops.  I'm happy to announce I'll be starting up my own shop!!! You'll be able to purchase my lightly worn & one of a kind vintage duds.  Shopping vintage is one of my favorite past times so I look forward to sharing my finds!  Hope everyone is getting into the fall season.... I'm off to make some homemade mac & cheese! Mmmmm

mink pink

(mink pink dress c/o thread sence, forever 21 wedge, bag, and necklace)

The weather the past few days has been unseasonably warm here in Buffalo, especially as we near the end of September. Seriously I do not know where September went! It's like summer never ended and now it's time to start thinking about Halloween!!! Anyway I'm obviously glad the weather has cooperated or else I wouldn't have been able to sport this amazing sheer Mink Pink dress courtesy of Thread Sense (check out their shop at www.threadsence.com - tons of amazing items). This dress in incredibly comfy. It literally feels like wearing pj's. Also, I love the asymmetrical cut of the dress. These pictures don't really do it justice as half of the garment's appeal is its flowy bohemian flare.

 

your kiss is on my list

Both of these I hope to own very shortly, perfect one of a kind pieces that should transition all the way through fall.  I'm allowed to have a bananas moment over the navajo inspired cloak right?

As the last days of indian summer slip away I decided to put together a last minute bohemian look.  This is the beautiful headband Tied Up and Tousled sent me, as seen in my previous post. The bag I found at the thrift store and I'm absolutely in love!  It's angora and the most beautiful shade of blue.

Forever 21 Stand Out!

roped in and tied up

I wore this outfit last Friday for weekly date night. I felt oh so elegant in this maxi skirt. I just know it's going to be a fall staple. Paired with the wedges it creates a long lean silhouette that exudes effortless confidence.  The wonderful ladies over at Tied Up and Tousled (check out there beautiful shop here) sent me the "Natalie" headband adorned with three gold keys. I plan on styling it again with a more bohemian look, and worn in my hair!  But it just goes to show you- with a little bit of creativity you can transform your accessories into multifaceted adornment! Thanks again Tied Up & Tousled!
