Auf Wiedersehen







Dress: Vena Cava, Jacket: Vintage CK, Sweater: Barneys, Tee: LAMB, Belt: Dries Van Noten, Shoes: Sam Edelman, Bag: Balenciaga

This was my friend Rozonna's going to New York dinner party and of course had to dress. Why so many layers? It was freezing. Just one of those L.A. weather moments when one day it's 80 and the next it's 50. We had an awesome time though at Manchego's, a Spanish tapas restaurant in Santa Monica on Main. It was delicious and the atmosphere was very quaint.

Balmain Inspiration Part Deux







Jacket: Flea Market, Jeans: Target, Tee: Target, Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell, Messenger Bag: Barneys New York

I am definitely obsessed with Balmain. I love that I stumbled upon these jeans that I've been dying to find at Target, and for the price I thought why not. The best thing to do with trends is find them at a discount. The only splurge in this outfit is the bag and shoes.

Strap Em Up

Shoes: Bakers

I am not much into shoes that aren't leather but, I had to grab these babies for a mere 10.00. Wouldn't you?

What I am Wearing

Sweater: Barney's New York, Jeans: January, Tunic: L.A.M.B., Shoes: Minnetonka, Necklace: Natalie B.

Todays Duds for a relax day at work.

Top: Bull Couture, Slouchy Pants: Zara, Shoes: Sam Edelman, Necklace: F21

I just got this top from a cute store in my area called Bull Couture. It has incredible lace detailing and a touch of feminity in the ruffling. I just love that victorian edge with a little M.C. Hammer pant action going on. The boots were an amazing deal at Macy's so I couldn't pass them up.

Alexander McQueen's McQ For Targe

Love these looks. Though the Target by my house didn't have it, I still need to see it in person. But, for now, these are my favorite looks. I love his line and he has the greatest imagination this century has seen. If you can, check out his runway shows from his main line, Alexander McQueen.

Shoulders Please

I just adore these jackets. You can wear them with almost anything. I like that they have that specialness to them. It's not your typical jacket or blazer but, an added bonus to the complete look. It's unexpected and vulgar in a good way. Who said shoulder pads weren't cool?

Vogue: March 09
Love Love Love this outfit. I know that this jean look is uber trendy but, I love it. It's casual, chic, and extremely sexy. Now I have to really find me a pair of the jeans or just to it myself. That could be a well to do project, diy. Hopefully it will come out right. Stay tuned.

What I love about this look is that it's just easy and anyone can do it. I would first check out my local thrift store and scan the men's Levis to shred up. If you are lucky you might find a vintage 80's leather jacket. I actually found one for 10.00. It was part of the 2 for 20.00 at the Rose Bowl flea market. If you have a flea market around your area, check it out for cool vintage finds. For the stripe shirt I would try Forever 21. Something tells me you'll find that and much more.

Get It Fixed



Dress: Cynthia Vincent Twelfth Street, Sweater: Barneys New York, Shoe: Minnetonka, Glasses: Tom Ford, Wood Necklace: Aphrodite
I got this dress at the Barney's Warehouse sale this past month. My favorite thing to do is get the things that are as is and get it fixed. I save a lot of money and get the cutest things ever. Stay tune for the Alexander Wang dresses and Rocco P. Boots. The best thing about shopping is be very selective and try stores that you wouldn't go to. I find a lot of great things at Loehmans. Another good source for goodies are boutiques during sale. Look for items that work with other items in your closet to compliment or spice up. Don't let shopping be a chore but, a fun experience of finding fashion booty.
