WINE LOVER

Foxtail: Ebay

Necklaces: Camden Market/Pamela Love

So last night (in between bars) we popped into Forever 21 for a bit of drunk shopping. And I found this velvet lover in a great shade of wine. The color, I think, looks a bit suspect on the website here, but I assure you it's all kinds of cute! I want to wear it with too much silver jewelry, and for $22.80 how can you be wrong?

DIY.JEANS.

Jeans: H&M DIY

Jacket: Vintage (Beacons)

Sweater: F21

Boots: Jeffrey Campbell

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

I had hacked up my jeans a while ago but after a few washes they are finally as distressed as I want them to be. But now I realized I have now ripped my only pair of black skinnies (didn't really think that one through did I?), but I like these better so it's all good!
And oh I almost forgot check the new coat for $7!!!! oh yeah that's right!! I knew I had good karma coming my way!

EBAY.WHAT.WOULD.I.DO.WITHOUT.YOU

Yes I too have jumped onto the pendleton bandwagon, only my version is a lot cheaper thanks to Ebay! Loving this print. I'm on the search now for some blankets to make myself a hooded cape or I might even print some fabric myself hmm... still deciding... but for now I loves my new bag!

I have a feeling these boots will be in every single post now... God Bless good old Jeffrey.

I got this dress by Blue Moon amongst some other goodies from Planet Blue, it has really low back with a big ruffle that goes all the way round the body... oh it's super short too SCORE!

This Jacket has to be a new fave of mine! not only are the colors great but it's super warm too.

JEFFREY

Boots: Jeffrey Campbell

My friends Jeffrey, Campbell and I went out for a stroll today in the streets of the Burg... We had a grand old time drinking coffee as all good hipsters do while searching for Navajo inspired Ponchos ... I'm such a ponchonista!

(I'm sober. I think.)

HOMEMADE

Sweater: F21

Skirt: Vintage

Boots: Jeffrey Campbell

Rings: Churoncalla/Mix

Necklaces: Pamela Love/CamdenMarket/F21

Some homemade pictures that I conjured up with a borrowed camera (because as you may know I lost my camera and have been procrastinating buying another) and a really really tall stack of books in my bedroom that I use as my photographer.

I love these new boots and I don't even care when they get scuffed or the time when I spilt coffee on them.. sort of adds to the character.

SHEER GENIUS

Photos: Cocorosa

Top: HellzBellz (Gifted)

Skirt: Vintage

Shoes: F21

Bag: Vintage

Loving this Hellz Bellz top, the sheer back makes it all the more interesting. The top is actually super long (I tucked it in the skirt) and you can wear as a super short dress except the sheer back goes all the way down, which I looove... so make sure you cover up that booty!

Also see the awesome Hellz Bellz new Collection/LookBook Here!

Hope everyone has a fab weekend...
