slip-on simplicity

What's not to love about slip-ons? They're easy to wear, they're comfortable, and they give every outfit that downtown I-just-threw-this-on vibe.  Did I mention they go with everything? I can't wait to wear these with cropped tailored pants and then a mini skirt.. fickle Northeast weather permitting.  

This time around, I just decided to keep it simple in a white tee and coated black skinnies - and then pile on the accessories. I've been coveting a DylanLex, but for now, piling on copious amounts of my old J.Crew necklaces will have to do.

Tshirt: Aritzia.  Jeans: Joe's Jeans "The Skinny Ankle Ultra Slimfit" in coated black (similar here, here).  Slip-ons: Vans for J.Crew. Necklaces: all J.Crew (love these for a similar look).  X-Ring: QVC.  Leather bracelet: Hermes.  Bag: Chanel "Mini".  Lips: Armani #402. 

the vest of times

I picked up this vest from Neiman Marcus a few weeks ago (a little early in the season.. but it's since sold out online so who's the real winner here?) and I've been living in it. It's super luxe looking without the major price tag of real shearling. I plan on wearing it over flowy dresses and with wide leg pants to really play up it's 70s vibe. I mean, sometimes.. you've just gotta make the vest of it.

And let's not forget about Stuart Weitzman's newest update to the 5050 collection: the Quiltboot. I wore my flat leather ones into the ground over the past two years, so when they released this quilted one recently, it seemed like a no-brainer. Over the knee and comfortable are no longer mutually exclusive, people.

Vest: Velvet by Graham and Spencer (similar here).  Sweater: H&M.  Pants: J.Crew "Pixie".  Boots: Stuart Weitzman "Quiltboot".  Necklace: Jennifer Zeuner "Zoey" Lariat.  Ring: Jennifer Zeuner "Sabrina".  Bag: Prada (old, love this one). 

slam dunk

Because sometimes, you want to wear a full skirt with some Dunks to brunch to consume spicy feta dip and unlimited bellinis. And contrary to my clutch, there was no tequila involved. Score!

Tank: Urban Outfitters (old, sold out).  Skirt: Aqua for Bloomingdales (similar here, love this one).  Sneakers: Nike Dunk Sky Hi (similar here).  Necklace: J.Crew (similar here, love this one and this one).  Clutch: Kate Spade (old, love this one).  Lips: New York Color "Blue Rose" (can be found at CVS).

If you've never been to Barbounia, add it to your list. You won't be disappointed. 

hello, lover

I finally decided to pull the trigger on the Aquazzura Amazons, and it's the best thing that's ever happened to me (besides my recent discovery that a company has started to bottle my new favorite condiment, of course).
