Funky Leggings

Saw this spread in the most recent Teen Vogue. First of all these two models are fantastically beautiful- their names are Elena and Manuela...you can't be uncool with names like those. Anyways..."14 Ways to Wear this Season's Must-Have Leggings."

The best part about this picture is the shoe choice, and the tubas.

This is my favorite...how FAB are the Rock & Republic leggings that say "LEGGINGS" down the side? Me likey.

Emilio de la Morena jackets...heeeeellllooooo.

Ants in Ya Pants

Harem pants. I've had time to contemplate them, and I've decided that I like them. I don't know if I'll buy a pair right away, but here are some looks I like in the meantime:

I think the twinkle or current/elliott are the best.

Elizabeth and James

The new Elizabeth and James pre-fall '09 line was released recently, and I've always loved their stuff, but these shoes in particular caught my attention. I already pre-ordered a pair of the calf hair moccasins.  I love the laid-back style of all of their clothes.

These shorts and this shirt have been on my wishlist for far too long...it's a problem. I need them.

May Fashion Story: 90's Inspired

Source: WhoWhatWear

Sorry for the lack of posts...finals, garden parties and Celtics vs. Bulls have temporarily stolen my attention.  This fashion story from WhoWhatWear just so perfectly mixed 90's grunge with the contemporary style of blazers, studs and high-waists.  Too good.

Dress : YOU

Dress: Strawberry Kat

Hat: Panama Jack

Skirt: Chloe

Boots: Forever 21

To continue my rant about spring...I went shopping this weekend.  Harvard Square has so many stores to choose from, and most of them have some fantastic pieces hidden somewhere in them.  Stores like Urban and LF are just so packed with things that you really have to search for the good items.  But, I decided to dedicate my entire Friday afternoon to mindless sifting through junk, and found some cool stuff.

These aren't all the things I got, just some of my favs.  The first two dresses are both from LF, and are super short, but I'm just going to embrace the shortness.  What's a dress that doesn't show a little leg??  The first dress is my favorite, but both are really summery and comfortable- done and done.

My hat in the 3rd picture is literally a Panama Jack hat that I bought for $6 in a pharmacy in Palm Beach- who knew pharmacys sold hats at all?  Palm Beach truly is it's own breed of city.

I was cleaning my closet today so it'd be easier to move out of my dorm on moving day, and I came across the skirt in the 4th picture- how cute? I literally forgot I had it, but I absolutely love it.

The boots are from Forever 21, which usually I don't depend on too much for shoes, but I love these with a flowy sundress or some cut-offs.

Anyways, another beautiful day in Boston and the sunglasses and flip-flops have been kicked into high gear.  Loving life.

More Ballet for Thought...

Just remembered that shopbop did a lookbook titled, "On-Pointe" a while ago that reminded me of the FB spread:

In honor of this beautiful day...beautiful summer clothes from my wish list.

MICHAEL KORS SHOES

So I bought these pairs recently.  I can't say which ones I like more, because I've been eyeing both for weeks and weeks.  AND I didn't buy either pair online...which is huge for me.  

These pictures aren't the greatest I know, but hey I never said I was a photographer.  

Sooo summary of the cutouts:

Unlike most wooden heels I've owned, these are actually surprisingly comfortable.  I have yet to wear them for a long period of time, and I'm guessing it won't be entirely pleasant.  Anyways.  They're not tight around the ankle, the heel isn't too thin, and I know I can get through at least 20 minutes pain-free.  Conclusion: beauty is pain-free.

Summary of the backless booties:

As I've said before, I have an obsession with booties in general, and these are a fabulous variation.  They're peep-toed and the strap in the back is elastic- another comfort-plus.   I've decided that these work all year round too, because they're black and suede for winter, but they're peep-toed and backless for summer...perf.

All in all, now instead of picturing a pudgy, orange, sunglasses-wearing judge on Project Runway when I hear the name "Michael Kors," I'll think of these 2 fabulous additions to my shoe family.

I don't usually love LV...

...but i love this bag.  I had forgotten about it until yesterday when I saw it in the window of Louis Vuitton, and I decided that it's just cool.  I would never get it because it probably costs around $5 billion, but if i found a good fake- I'd never look back.

And, I think anything neon is the greatest.
