clothes, fashion, glitter, holiday, madewell, pumps

the title of this post is probably the closest representation of my relationship with fashion. my love for clothes and my “obsessive tendency” of checking up on my favorite brands and fashion blogs could be considered a crime (in the terms of stalking/possible restraining orders against me from websites, which if they existed i would have)… the punishment is even worse: new arrivals or holiday collections. it doesn’t sound like a punishment, but it is. if i could (and i would) i’d spend ALL my money on clothes, but at least i have a bit of restraint, and i’ve gotten much better about impulse buying. my biggest tip is favoriting things you love and waiting to see how long you think about them… if you forget about them delete it from your bookmarks, if not get it or wait for a sale. now before i get off topic again, let’s talk about madewell’s newest arrivals. literal perfection. the combination of color, warm and cozy textures, plaid and printed patterns, comfy accessories, and most of all, glitter, has me freaking out. the following outfits are so lust-worthy and definitely have a pieces i may have already splurged on… (sorry that the trapper hat looks like the most amazing thing ever)

on a final note, can we all just admire that asos gold sequin skirt on brooklyn blonde? that outfit is truly perfection.

hey there guys! after moving back to school last weekend, i’m back and ready to get my life in lipstick up and running again.. i needed a bit of time to settle in, but classes are starting up again and i’m slowly, but surely developing a routine. speaking of getting myself together and staying in the loop with my school work, i wanted to share something very cool with you all. i have had the amazing opportunity to partner up with a chain of stores in my town (loop, gallery couture, and the gibson) to blog about some of my favorite pieces and outfits from time to time (or school break to school break).

this post started off as a one time thing, but i tend to like so many outfits on various blogs, and this happens so often that i decided to make this into a continuous post. some blogs i follow are similar to each other and others have no semblance of similarities to their counterparts, but i love them nonetheless!

fall fashion, fashion, j.crew, jcrew, jewel tones, lions, shoes, slippers, smoking slippers, stubbs and wootton

some of you may know stubbs & wootton, a shoe brand recognized for its velvet slippers with unique embroidery. j.crew is known for forming partnerships with brands and developing gorgeous projects ( a la fenton fallon, lulu frost, altuzarra, etc.). i have yet to partake in the slipper trend, and the price of these shoes will be holding me off from participation, but there is nothing like wishful thinking or serious longing. my favorites happen to be the navy slippers with lion embroidery, which may have something to do with my serious affinity for anything lions: i’m a leo, my hair is a bonafide mane at times, lions are my favorite animal, and lion king is my favorite movie! i’ll either save my money up (which i doubt i’ll be able to do) or i’ll hope and pray that these go on sale.

which pair do you guys like?

you’re an animal, baby

animal, animal sweater, burberry, fall, fashion, fox, j.crew, madewell, mulberry, outfit, owl, sweaters, tiger, trends

every season new trends come and go, and i usually try my hardest to not spend a ton of money partaking in them. the animal sweater trend is going to make this extremely difficult. from burberry to j.crew, these sweaters are popping up everywhere and i couldn’t be more excited. so far i have the madewell meerkat in my possession, and i know i’m going to add more (or once again, i’ll attempt to save money as my mom insists and not buy more…)

also thank you to alex winston (and the j.crew store soundtrack) for the title inspiration, this song is amazing!

mini meerkat pullover from madewell… my love for the lion king has come in handy!

a foxy sweater from aubin & wills (cheesy pun, i know…)

i called this the chicken in a beret sweater at work until i put together that it was called the french hen sweater… very clever j.crew, very clever

i would love to give this burberry owl sweater a hoot and a holler! (cheesy puns will keep on coming…)

this sweater is one of my favorites, but it’s sold out and out of my price range!

color code: black and blue

so i know the words black and blue evoke the grossness that are bruises, but if you get past that imagery, it’s actually quite a nice color combination. even though they’re both dark tones, they are complementary and can make an outfit. obsession could probably define my relationship with those tech cases, and i can not wait until i can get them before i head off to school!

every time the summer olympics rolls around, you will find me stationed in front of the tv when it comes to certain events. tonight will be one of those nights… there’s the men’s 200m im, where i’ll be rooting for team usa (and a little more for michael phelps!). i’ve been avoiding twitter, tumblr and any news outlets so i don’t see the results, but i really hope we medal in the women’s all around gymnastics final and swimming. fingers crossed!! i put together some simple olympics-inspired pieces i’d love to wear, and a pair of boots that can go from being casual to easily dressed up!
