arm warmers and fur coats.

Even though I have a FINAL EXAM tomorrow for Design Studies 120 (aka colors and lines class) I am blogging. And watching the Disney Channel, the Wizards of Waverly Place if you were wondering. Because I am 20 afterall.. But how cool are those arm warmers?! I am totally getting a pair (I actually do have a pair on hold at Bop) I am also in love with those fur (faux) jackets that Karen is wearing on her blog, the natural color one is only $30 at H&M! And the black one (which is vintage) is just sooo darn cuuuutteee. I definitely am going to be doing some vintage shopping with all my free time over winter break. There are just so many treasures out there YET to be discovered!

On a side note. How much FUN does it look like she is having playing in the streets of New York City in the SNOWSTORM?!?

fashiontoast.

Rumi from fashiontoast has some really amazing, original, and unique outfit choices. Her wardrobe is the epitome of mixing high and low. She will pair Dolce and Gabbana wedges with a forever 21 dress and a vintage jacket and look absolutely positively fantastic. I'm jealous. Speaking of vintage, she also has the most amaaaazing vintage pieces, and it makes me really wanna go digging through some of the very few vintage stores Madison has, and even Goodwill (if I can ever get past the smell). ALSO (yes there's more) she has mastered the art of ebay. Ebay can be such an overwhelming website to sift through and navigate, but she can always find the coolest pieces, such as Chanel wedges.
To top it all off. She SELLS her things that she doesn't want (personally I think she's CRAZY for wanting to get rid of a single one of her pieces of clothing) on her other blog Shoptoast. So if you ever wanna score some great pieces, check out that site. But check often cause those pieces sell fast.

torn.

I was just wandering around on Shopbop tonight (surprising, right?) and I decided to look at all the different lookbooks for inspiration, because they seriously oooooze outfit inspiration. That's when I stumbled upon Torn by Ronny Kobo's lookbook and fell in love with it. All these pieces were on the site before and I'd seen them, of course, and I thought they were just "cute". But when I saw this lookbook, with all of the pieces incorporated together I was awed. And inspired to add about all of them to my wishlist. They look so edgy and of-the-moment when paired together and styled. I especially love the one-armed, striped body-con dress worn with that cream jacket over it. It made me want an outfit juuuuust like it. AND I love that most of the outfits are paired with motorcycle boots, now that I mention it I need to invest in a pair to spruce up my wardrobe!

All the images are from the Torn by Ronny Kobo lookbook on Shopbop. Take a look at all the pieces and judge the amazingness of it yourself right here!

everyone's got a little pixie in them...

one of my favorite places to online shop is the pixie market it is the best place to find unique, out-there pieces that nobody else will be wearing. guarateed. i got this there a couple months ago and every time i wear it i get compliments. it's like nothing else in my closet and for that i love it!

i am absolutely coveting this shrug/scarf . YES. it can be both! which adds to its allure even more. people won't realize it's the same thing. wear it as a shrug one day and the next wrap it around your neck. it is definitely going to be one of my next purches.. i do get paid this friday... mmm!
