Block It Out

(vintage leather skirt, jc shoes, h&m hat. forever 21 necklace, vintage sunnies, borrowed belt from my bff erin, diy nails c/oRefinery29)

Felt a bit retro today, simple and chic with a tad of color blocking. 

Spot On

(vintage sheer leopard blouse, h&m faux leather pants and collar, JC litas, f21 and vintage jewelry) 

I found this amazing sheer leopard print shirt at a vintage shop here in Buffalo.
 It's just the perfect hint of negligee.
We're scheduled to get hit with a major storm here, actually everyone within the next 2000 miles is preparing for the worst....
It will be a good night to stay in, make a nice big pot of soup and cozy up to the Ice Storm.

So my Lita's FINALLY arrived! Just a simple outfit I threw together for running around town.

Tonight is my office holiday and I have no idea what to wear.....
I'm stuck on a creamy pinkish maxi dress or a fitted LBD with accentuated shoulders......
I need advice! 

Mythical

(forever 21 unicorn thermal, vintage fur jacket, h&m skirt, deena & ozzy wedge, h&m hat)

This is my new favorite skirt, I bought it in Toronto over the holiday break.  The combination of faux leather, rust tones, and high waisted equal perfection.  

I know, I know it's Buffalo and everyone complains but it's so so so cold here! When I woke this A.M. f the temp was under 5 degrees. My colleagues probably think I'm a bit nuts for braving such weather in tiny skirts, and high waisted shorts.

It was finally cold enough yesterday to break out one of my vintage furs.  I must admit to by fur addiction- I've been hoarding these furry friends for years,  I must have at least 15 or so at this point. 


I love these boots but they're a tad to big on me- check out my etsy if your interested in including them into your wardrobe.

The weekend in Toronto was a smashing success.  Lots of lazy relaxation lounging at the hotel, strolls around the city,  and stopping into little french eateries. The weather was unseasonably warm which allowed us to dine al fresco.  H&M didn't fail me, and I've come home with a revamped fall wardrobe.

I'm not one to experiment with vibrant colors very often, but this vivid number seemed to "pop" in just the right way.  I'm sure it helps that the skirt's made of faux leather, a material I generally gravitate toward (although usually in black).  My boyfriend remarked that this was a relatively casual outfit for me, but I thought it achieved the perfect balance for simplified chic (especially on a 90 degree day!).

Isn't the balloon mural behind me adorable?  I thought it complemented the bright pop of the skirt.

I decided to add a touch of lace to this predominately black ensemble; it helps to lighten up the overall dark vibe.  I scored these amazing faux leather leggings in NYC and I'm obsessing - I have endless ideas about how to style them. 

I know I tend to sport this fringe bag in many of my photos but it's become a critical element of my personal style.  It just seems to complete 90% of the outfits I put together. It adds an element of depth, I've become known as the girl with the fringed leather bag, haha! 

Do you have one statement piece that you'll wear to the grave?

Chambray Baby

(thrifted chambray shirt, UO tights, deena & ozzy wedge, h&m fringe bag, f21 leather shorts)

This is one of my finds from thrifting earlier this week.  I've been searching for the perfectly worn chambray shirt for ages and I'm fairly satisfied with this purchase. I think it adds an element of masculinity to an otherwise sexy outfit.  

Winter Warmth

F21 black leather shorts, oscar dela renta vintage sweater, vintage fur, 

chinese laundry over the knee boots, h&m hat & scarf.

Feeling pretty badass for sporting leather shorts in 20 degree weather. This fur is 

unbelievably warm, so I guess it's all proportionate. I'm gearing up for the holidays, and loads of travel. Wishing everyone a glorious holiday season. Can't wait to see what everyone is wearing for NYE.

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.
