do you recognize the red gown in the second photo from this post? :)

boy oh boy.

uo men's sweater/ thrifted shorts/ vintage rings and necklace

picked up this sweater last weekend at urban outfitters. i fell in love with its weight and coziness and touchability (textiles are really important to me) , but when i checked the tag, it was obviously from the boys department. whatever. i'm definitely one of those people that if the line for the woman's bathroom is too long, i just jump into the guys. the drape is so perfectly nonchalant and you can't quite see but there are little capillaries of gray streaking through what looks like a black sweater. i threw it on over a pair of high-waisted faded denim booty shorts, silver rings and a vintage gold chain necklace. a casually chic outfit for a very casual day of class, sandwiches in the sun, and afternoon margarita pitchers in weather that still refuses to be the right season.

vote.

so i decided to enter refinery29's contest to find the next style blogger. although it's highly unlikely that i will actually win, i am not above trying to shamelessly get a few votes out of you, dear friends. so click on the link, find my photo (this photo), and vote! super easy. takes one minute. dooo ittt. think of the kharma.

thanks :) xo

january?

 

free people trousers/ jack by bb dakota top/ random cardigan

 

i decided to resurrect these free people trousers that i've had forever. because they're so masculine, i wanted to pair it with a really feminine top, and this structured but sweet tank worked beautifully. they're a little difficult to style due to the wide by wide and straight by straight leg (which is what makes them amazing in the first place) but with all the menswear and trousers coming down the runway these babies just refused to stay meekly in my closet. i'm kind of in love with the way they completely cover my feet. and of how much they remind me of katherine hepburn.

amazing shots from the ilovewildfox blog too cool not to share. as you can see i am still binging on spring color. obviously i'm going to need to add satiny lingerie layers in icy blue and orange slingbacks to my wardrobe immediately. oh, and check out that wicked line of pastel blue liner in the first photo! i usually go for a really neutral look, but that is just sexy.

emma stone at the golden globes. this peach sheath is absolutely stunning. this is the first time i've seen the minimalism that's emerging right now done to perfection in the real world. so lovely.

 dress by collective concepts, american apparel bralet, vintage purse and belt, and the uo flats i'm going to have to throw away soon because i wear them too much.

this weekend was magically sunny. the birds were singing, the icecream cravings were in full force, and legs and shoulders emerged with a vengeance. so of course my whole being went into spring mode and the first thing i did was whip out my little blue dress. i love this thing so much, which is strange for me because i usually live in plain neutrals. there's something really whimsical about the light blue print and the little baby doll buttons in the front. i also think racer backs are one of the sexiest, most under-appreciated of styles and instantly creates visual interest and beautiful shoulders. basically, this thing checks a lot of boxes for me. wore this outfit out to brunch with the boy and then shopping where i bought (can you guess?) another sweater. i have a problem.

hope you all had as lovely a weekend as i did!

gratutious color extravaganza.
