Channeling Balmain

(h&m dress & bag, deena & ozzy bootie, drug store nylon, forever 21 necklace)

Inspired by Balmain, as you know by now I have a strong adoration for shoulders. I wore this outfit Friday night to my best friend Brandon's birthday party.

 More pictures to follow.

Red Velvet

H&M black fur, f21 black leather shorts, deena and ozzy booties, shimmer tights, vintage bag, f21 blouse

Found this amazing spot downtown,  cute graffiti on the door.  I wish we took better detailed shots of the shoulder. They're so perfectly 90's. Forever did me right this week, still wish it was warmer here, but at least no snow.

Quick Holiday

Forever 21 skirt, vintage lace top, UO booties. 

My boyfriend and I took a quick trip to Toronto this weekend. I was hopping to resolve my Christmas shopping dilemma. Instead I returned home with 1 very large bag of H&M goodies for myself. Whoops. Any gift suggestions for Mom? 

Winter White

Leggings & socks from Target, White modified H&M dress (Originally it was a summer dress, but I cut it & layered it), 

 F21 sweater,  H&M scarf, UO booties.

Yesterday was Dec 1st and we received our first snow in Buffalo. Today it's back in the upper 40's so I really can't complain, other than our grey atmosphere. I figure I should get in as many roof shots as I can before its too slippery too sneak up there. This is such a cozy, yet comfortable outfit. 
It's practically sleep where, but still looks pulled together. 

I'm loving the look of comfy socks layered over tights (or legging) with a boot. It helps fight the chill,

 and still manages to look adorable.

Tis the Season for Sparkle

F21 black skinnies, f21 blouse, UO booties, f21 jewelry

Getting an early jump on the holidays this season, well at least in terms of adding glitz.

 I picked out this years ornaments: twinkle lights, silver & white snowflakes, snow owls, and silver bells. Now I just have to find the perfect tree. 

Mary Mary

White vintage grandma scarf, forever 21 grey pearl sweater, f21 leather pants, UO booties, f21 jewelry. 

Playing off each other once again. I've paired very feminine pieces (ie: grandma scarf & pearl sweater) with something a bit edger & harder, leather pants. 

Testing Textures

H&M sweater, f21 leather shorts, UO-peep toe booties, H&M scarf.

This outfit was inspired by Rodarte F08 collection, specifically the knitwear. As always I love playing with volume and I adore the contrast of the cozy scarf & sweater with the tiny leather shorts. Between the suede booties, patterned tights, cable knit, and leather I'm playing with a lot of texture. I added this last shot in with the beat and gritty surface area, it's a nice play off the sweater. 

Another amazing fall day here. Nearly 65 degrees! 

Boyfriend Blaze

Navy boyfriend blazer f21, UO peeptoe booties, socks target, black lace skirt f21, thrifted black dress, vinatge & f21 jewels.

Love love loving my navy boyfriend blazer. The fact that my mother would have worn it in the 90's is even more appealing. I've been mixing this little find (courtesy f21) with thigh highs, ballerina dresses, florals, and skinnies. Adds instant chic points. Another unseasonably warm day in Tuff Buff, brings me to my favorite roof top. I'll be hitting downtown streets soon, especially if the weather keeps up

Boys Club

I'm wearing- vintage lace top, h&m faux fur,  f21  lace figure skater skirt, target black patterned tights, thrifted boys blazer,  deena & ozzy black peep toe booties & vintage & f21 jewelry. 

Just a simple wednesday date night. My boyfriend and I had a lovely dinner, and then stopped by our local wine bar to finish off the night. I hate having to take all these pictures inside, but it gets dark here so early. I'm hoping for a lovely weather week to document more outfits outside.

MiliTint

This weather is completley unseasonable and completley divine, allowing for more roof shots.
I love the structure of this jacket paired with a voluminous skirt. I'm also a gluten for anything gold, and I was pleased to find these vintage booties hiding in the back of my closet.

Junior

Last night the friends & I (Brandon, Craig, & Jess) met up for some pre-drinks before heading to Soundlab for the Junior Boys concert. Surprisingly enough the show wasn't as packed as we anticipated but the boys sounded amazing. My dj alias Shock & Awe had planned to use one of their songs "Work" last year for Runway 2.0 although it was cut last minute. Needless to say the show was super fun, I ended up drowning in wine which makes for a less than fabulous workday.

I'm wearing a vintage blouse & shirt worn as a dress. Black military jacket from F21, and booties from H&M


Mass appealing is only 2 days away- let the chaos begin!

Cityscape

We took these photos a few weeks ago but they turned out to be some of my favorites. Grey outfit for a grey day. The skirt I found at my haven F21 for around $15, the boyfriend blazer was $2.98 at Amvet on Dick Rd, finished with peep toe booties ala Urban Outfitters, thrifted knit cap, and vintage jewls. Enjoy.
