Looking back, I think Menswear was the most inspiring look for me in 2009. I love the trousers, blazer, and button-up look. It’s very relaxed and quite comfy! These pieces have really filled up the extra space in my closet. It is my go-to look when I want something classic and chic. The tuxedo looks sooo good on both men and women when done correctly. I mean, how amazing did Daniel Day-Lewis look in the movie “Nine?” I fell in love with how he wore the skinny tie and tailored suit! Menswear inspired clothing for young women really blew up in 2009 and will remain one of my favorite looks by far!

As for now, I am excited for what 2010 will bring. I’m looking forward to continuing posting on here and sharing my love of fashion with you all. I’ll be spending time this coming year traveling overseas and I cannot wait to share my experiences with you. I wish you all the best of luck this year. Happy New Year everyone!

Tulle Dress: Eli Tahari, Tights: We Love Colors, Shoes: Via Spiga

These gorgeous tights were given to me from the amazing tights brand We Love Colors! I love the bold red hue so much. I haven’t been able to find the perfect shade of red tights for quite a while so I was so excited when We Love Colors said they were sending me a pair in Scarlet Red. I am lusting over the material as well. It’s soft and a little thicker, perfect for the chilly days. I paired these with my tulle Eli Tahari dress and a black blazer. I cannot wait to wear this tulle dress again in the Spring time because it really looks angelic in the sun! And I love how tulle is coming back in a big way, with all the new Rodarte dresses floating about! 🙂

I also want to thank you all for the great feedback on my blog. It makes me really happy to post and share my style! Thank you!
Have a happy NEW YEAR!

Coat: Vintage, Silk Tank: Nellie Partow, Cardigan (underneath): Vintage, Shorts: Lux, Shoes: Via Spiga

I’ve been keeping warm in this beige vintage coat! It’s not heavy at all, really lightweight wool, perfect for layering. Plus, it’s made in France which is an A+ in my book! And check out the buckles on my new shoes which I love love love. They’ve got that platform I’ve admired in the shoes of Marni and Chloe! Also, I’ve had these tuxedo shorts from Urban Outfitters for aaaaaaages and are still one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe. These are just a few of my winter staples!

Here you can read my INTERVIEW with Autumn Sij of Corrider40, a really amazing fashion and culture blog based out of St. Louis. Thank you again Autumn for the feature and kind words, I really appreciate it!

Have a great week! Only a few more days till New Years! So exciting 🙂

Silk Blouse: Vintage, Furry Vest: Forever 21, Trousers: Bebe, Belt: Vintage, Booties: Stefane Kelian, Sunglasses: Chloe

How amazing are these Chloe sunnies?! The perfect little piece that really made the whole look that much better. Since my face is quite small, they are really oversize and that’s what I love about them! Also, I am currently wearing this faux fur vest over just about anything. I can’t believe I’ve waited so long to get my hands on one of these things! I love it so much! Fur & big sunnies equals crazy cool. I was all ready to celebrate the holidays this season! Speaking of which, I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas. Mine was filled with yummy food, time with the family, and sitting through lots and lots of great movies! I loved it! The holidays still aren’t over, we’ve still got New Years! Enjoy the best time of the year! 🙂

I made another collage as well! I love the lighting in all these photographs, so beautiful!
