Dress: Alexander Wang, Boots: Fiorentini + Baker, Bag: Balenciaga, Jacket: Target

I am in love with the Isabel Marant's Spring collection. I can't wait to see fall. Now I am trying to see what I have in my closet to resemble some of these awesome looks. There are so many of them that you would have to check out style.com for more looks. I am trying to save money for vacations and upcoming sales so, what better thing to do is to shop the closet. I have so many clothes that I just have to recycle my looks and only buy things that enhance what I already have. More closet looks to come.

Brewery Art Walk

Dress: Vintage, Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell, Bag: Tano for Barneys, Belt: Dries Van Noten, Sun: Chloe

My sis and I went to an art walk in downtown. Pix are 2 weeks but, I have been a little lazy. I loved this dress when I first laid eyes on it. I love the ruffled detail on the front. I love when I find great pieces that mesh with todays trends.

Cool views of downtown L.A. This one I took inside a studio.

This was the view of a gnarly bridge. It was kind of scarey but, I conquered the fear and went for it. you can see the bottom right below you.

One of the old factories. Some of these lofts are just amazing on the inside and have been refurbished. On the other side of this building is where I took the sepia photo.

Pink Is The New Black

Jacket: Vintage, Blouse: Vintage, Shorts: Paper Denim for Men, Shoes: Sam Edelman

Sometimes there is nothing better than wanting something that is in style and finding it for a dollar. I lust after the Alexander Wang fuchsia blazer but, at that price it's just not happening now. I lucked out on this great blazer that came with some hideously cool pants. The pants are to small but, that's okay all I wanted was the jacket anyways. The blouse kind of reminds me like Marc by Marc Jacobs. I think I am obsessed with pink right now.

In The Pink

Dress: Alexander Wang, Jacket: Rose Bowl Flea Market, Boot: Prada, Gladiators: Jeffrey Campbell, Vest: Solemio

I was inspired by an outfit in Vogue. I thought, I have the dress and I have a similar jacket, now all I have to do is create this from my closet. I also wore this ensemble to work and needed to tone it down for the daytime so I chose a vest that is faux leather and grey that I picked up at a cute store on Abbot Kinney, in Venice, called Princepessa. I love the pink right now and it is a hot color to wear with black. Check out the Alexander Wang spring.

Suiting For Your Pleasure

Jacket: Alice and Olivia, Pants: Twinkle, Tee: Barneys Men's, Shoes: Bakers, Scarf: Flea Market

I saw these Twinkle Pants in a Lucky magazine in grey and I ended up getting the black ones for Christmas. They have a tuxedo detail at the waist and they are awesome. One of my many different types of style is men's wear. I find it very sexy and comfortable. It's one of those looks that I think is timeless and has power behind it. It's fun to take a timeless look and update with some gladiator sandals.

Today's Digs

Dress: Marni, Jacket: Sally Tseng, Boots: Fiorintini and Baker, Belt: Linea Pelle

Just got these boots and I am wearing them with everything. Now it seems that everything in my closet is new again. I love it.

Today

Happy Easter/ Resurrection Day

Dress: Express, Boots: Fiorintini and Baker, Belt: Linea Pelle

Happy Easter Everyone. Today was such a beautiful day for celebration of Christ's Resurrection. I just got my boots and I am practically living in them. It's fun to take down the pretty and rough it up some with some gnarly boots.

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.

Inspiration Balmain

Loved this look since the first time I laid eyes on it.

Look at this fabulous military style jacket and the jeans are to die for, if you can afford 2 grand a pair.

Here's my find it yourself. I still am looking for the perfect acid wash jeans. These jeans I bought from the men's side at Barneys and decided to go big and make them into slouchy skinny style boyfriend jean. My alterations gal did amazing job in getting the jeans a bit more skinnier. The jacket was found at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. I thought I was dreaming. It cost only 10.00 dollars ( oh and the jeans were 8.00 dollars plus alterations).

My sister and I went shopping at the Grove in L.A. and stumbled upon these Jeffrey Campbell look a-likes. I yelled Balmain, I have to have those. Viola the look complete.

Jacket: Vintage, Tee: AA, Jeans: Paper Denim, Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

Leader Of The Band

Jacket: Karen Kane Vintage, Top: Silk Vintage, Pants: Zara, Shoe: Barneys New York, Necklace: Aphrodite

I loved the military style jackets and wanted to find a vintage one so bad, back in 2007 I was hoping to find one that was vintage and I did. I was so ecstatic that my heart was palpitating so hard I almost fainted. I haven't found another yet, but I surely hope so. I love the deals at Zara and I found so many slouchy pants for so cheap I bought like 6 pairs. It's unbelievable how half of this outfit is vintage.

In The Closet

Dress: Meghan, Shoes: Fornarina, Fur Vest: Vintage, Necklace: Vintage, Belt: Nicholas K

I went out the other night for a friends birthday at a sushi resturaunt and thought why not bring out something from the closet. As a recessionista you have to play with the things that you already have. So I decided on this kimono style dress by Meghan.

80's A Go Go

Photos Cred: Style.Com

I am obsessed with these looks. Though some of them are easily recreate able, just by popping in your local thrift store. I know I have a few of these looks in the archive of my wardrobe somewhere. The last look, this cute red ensemble is a must have and I am definitely putting down on my wish list. As I was going through the runway shows I was enamored by such creativity that Marc Jacobs has. I need all of it. Check out the LV as well. This guy is just so talented. I sat here and just stared at the pictures envisioning myself in every single piece. Wishes can come true.
