Top: Lush, Jeans: Hudson, Boots:Steve Madden, Necklace: Forever 21

Loving this top :) I wore this to a school event that wasn’t too fancy, but called for something nicer than a t-shirt. I’m wearing an adorable chunky necklace from Forever 21 and a chunky cuff bracelet. The necklace has a mix of metals and so it goes perfectly with this black and brown outfit.

I am such a fan of chunky accesories. I feel like dainty accesories just get lost in most outfits.
Hope everyone got a little bit of sunshine today :)

Singing in the Rain

Shirt- $10 Store in Santa Barbara, Pants- Forever 21, Belt- Nordstrom, Boots- (as if you haven't seen these already :)) Steve Madden

 

It was raining today, hence the umbrella. I seriously love this umbrella, not only because it keeps me from getting soaked on days like this, but just because it is so darn cute! I tied my skinny brown belt around my waist to give this oversized shirt a tad more shape. You can sort of see it peeking out from under my arms (that I just realized are slightly obscuring it in the photo above… oops ha ha).

I've been on the lookout for an umbrella like this one for a while, so when I randomly came across this one in some obscure pharmacy, it was hard to resist the urge to jump up and down at my luck :)

1/21/11 Striped Dress

Dress- Forever 21, Leather Jacket- Saks Off Fifth, Boots-Steve Madden, Earrings- Forever 21

I love this dress! It is nice and stretchy and comfy. Like an old t-shirt. And the back, so cute! That little bow is probably one of the best parts :) Well and the fact that it only cost me... wait for it... $12! A score I believe. Its also nice because I can wear it with the various navy blue skirts that I own as a top when the weather warms up.

How do you feel about this outfit? Comment below!

Cape Town

Cape-Volcom (TJ Maxx), Pants- Forever 21, Boots- Steve Madden

So this is the cape :) The cape is Volcom brand but I got it at TJ Maxx (a discount store) for $20! It's pretty warm but a tad itchy because its wool. The shape is nice though. The cropped cut keeps short little me from looking like an overweight blob.

I love these cargo pants too! They're pretty comfy and such a nice green color.

Below is a photo of my outfit without the cape.

The top is from a store called Lefties in Spain (I am pretty sure its Zara's discount store, but don't quote me on that one). Can never go wrong with a nice black and white striped shirt :)

Parka Remix

Parka- H&M, Top- Forever 21, Skirt- H&M, Boots- Steve Madden

This is my first remix of sorts. This is the parka from my last post, but this time I wore it with a floral top from Forever 21, a skirt from H&M, and my Steve Madden boots (are you sick of them yet? I know I'm not :)).

I haven't been able to post as often as I'd like because school/homework has been consuming my free time, but when I get the chance I'll take some more shots of my parka remixes and post them!

Rain, Rain Go Away

It's been really dark and rainy where I live :( and so the past few days its been really hard to take outfit photos to post. But today I just decided to go for it. In real life, the jacket isn't nearly as orange or...err... plastic as it looks, in this photo (flash is not my friend) but you get the gist :) Not exactly the most creative look, but it's comfy and warm and has become the outfit that I just throw on when I'm in a hurry and don't know what to wear.


Brown Faux-Leather Jacket-Sakks Off Fifth, Jeans-Zara, Boots- Steve Madden, Belt-Nordstrom

I recently got a cape that I'm excited to share with you guys, so hopefully tomorrow will be sunnier so I can get a nice photo of it!

On another note, I've been obsessively searching for a not-to-long, not-to-short, not-to heavy, not-to-shapeless olive green parka after seeing a photo of Amee from Song of Style wearing a really cute one a few weeks ago. While I was out and about earlier this week I decided to stop into H&M and, there it was. Not the same parka of course but one that fit all of the above criteria and is not ridiculously expensive.

So I have a lot to share with you guys (I'm planning on working on the Remix Challenge this weekend as well) so you can expect lots more posts coming your way! Off to work on the Spanish homework that I probably should have started an hour ago... ahh why does Blogger have to be so addicting.

Polka Dotted

       
 
This is the same H&M dress that I last posted about :) Sometimes I forget that it’s winter until I step outside and get hit by a chilly gust of wind. Winter’s only halfway over and I already can’t wait for spring! (see bare arms)


During the day I wore this outfit with an off-white scarf from Target and my black peacoat, both necessities now that I am back in school and have to deal with frost-bitten mornings.

Hopefully now that I'm back to a routine I can return to posting more regularly.

Hope 2011 has started out to be a great year for everyone! I know it has for me :)

Its been awhile...

I took this forever ago but for some reason I didn't upload it. hm. School and soccer are consuming my life currently. Hopefully I will find time to post tomorrow. Maybe an outfit:)
