Leather goods

If fur was my husband then leather would definitely be my lover. Who knew that leather pants are the perfect marriage of fashion and practicality. But don't ever lend them to your friends as leather will conform to the wearer's body type. At least that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it!

Fur sure

I picked up this two toned fur sweater at a vintage store last winter and haven't had the chance to wear it until now. I love that I can layer it with a fur vest to stay warm, without having to look really bulky. The winter is slowly creeping in, can't believe it's almost New Year's!

Manning up

Lately, I just haven't had the time to hit up my favorite thrift shops like I used to in my....ahem...younger days (like a few months ago), and to me that translates to a total vintage drought. Although I've got more than enough collectibles to dress an (unusual) army, I'm craving some new oldies but goodies. This week I spotted a vintage men's Lacoste cardigan, which I happen to think looks much better on a girl anyway. And paired with some pumps I've got one unisex-y outfit!

Pretty in pink

This sweater is a total shed disaster and a hot mess. Literally. Not only does it need hand washing and flat drying, but anyone and anything that comes in contact with it takes a little piece of it with them. And there's no return policy. But on a day like this when its so gloomy outside, something about the bright pink color and the fuzzy texture brightens up the day and the mood just a little bit. Off to enjoy my version of the weekend...on a Tuesday.

The perfect gift-LensLoop

For all you gift givers this season, I’ve got an awesome present that your gift getters will surely brag about (and maybe even blog about!). I’ve spent quite some time researching and tracking down the best camera accessories that will make my picture taking, and being taken a picture of, experience a breeze. I’ll also share a secret with you, this is the perfect item to bribe your friends with to have them take your blog photos. This camera strap makes blog shoots a totally effortless feat, and leaves you wanting to shoot more than you’ve ever set out to.

What I love about this strap is that it doesn’t hurt your neck like the typical camera straps tend to, which essentially tires you out. With the comfort of this new design you don’t even have to move the strap at all, just simply glide the camera when ready for use. I’m so happy I found this gadget so close to the holidays, and I’ve actually ordered a couple for each of my photographers to say thanks! But that’s not all, I’ve gotten one for you too! Any of my followers and those who join to follow the blog until December 21 will qualify to win this trendy camera strap! Get excited and keep snapping!

Chunky knit

Totally loving the weather this week, although my furs are almost begging to be released into the wild. I mean the cold. Until then, I'm loving the "put on a sweater and go" look. Since New York fall season is almost non existent, it's been a real treat to have a few more sunny days in November than usual. Thanks global warming.

This chunky knit sweater is a lovely addition to my closet. Besides being extremely comfortable (minus the mild itchiness), it is extremely warm. Almost as though a real sheep has tightly enveloped my upper half of my body. What a visual. Speaking of envelope, I am still sporting this envelope clutch I scored this summer. This just goes to show you, tops may come and go, but a clutch is forever. Or until I get a new one :)

Be Bold

This outfit is such a throwback to the 90s, right about the last time I wore was forced to wear a white blouse to private school. If only my principal could see me now. Although my uniform days are over, the white blouse look is here to stay. And don't be surprised if I wear it again and again. Like tomorrow.

Blue colored glasses

Some say the grass is greener on the other side. Some, are actually right. Except that its blue-er and red-der, but that's just a technicality.

There are always guys checking out the pant racks in women's section, so if they are under the impression that the pants are better on our lawn, why not check out their's...

Best idea I've had yet. Some guy's blue-jeans and vintage cardigan now belong to a very happy gal.

Street style

A vintage pair of jeans is not only a must have, but a must wear. The high wasted green denim makes for a polished look, paired with a more contemporary top from CALYPSO St. Barth. I don't wear pants too often, but this pair is making me want to reinvent my wardrobe and inject some trousers into my fashion repertoire. Something to look forward to in the fall!

~Hope you guys are enjoying the long weekend~
