yesterday i scored this vibrant wrap skirt at target.

so fun with a tank i already had from H&M.

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.

fur real faux.

grey's my fave neutral. blue is the center of the universe. paisleys pop. faux is whoa. skinnies rule. that is all. well, now that wouldn't be like me would it? i ramble. it felt awesome to pull on my fave grey jeans again. they just begged to be worn with the ancient shirt i dug out from the back of my closet after admiring & being inspired by a different emanuel ungaro blouse on sea of shoes' recent post. yep, her hair helped to ignite my courage to go rouge too. but loveys, it's the grey & blue faux fur vest that just explodes with cozy rad-ness. onward.

love,

sunlovey

wild victorian.

sssssssnake slithers into my closet like mad as of late. how to soften it? sunday school socks...in black & cream and frou frou feathers in the hair, of course! j'adore for sure.

love,

sunlovey

p.s. cutting the top off my head was conveniently unintentional. my roots are horrific. they'll be gone soon...

and it's like that & that's the way it is...

by that i mean, only by playing dress up am i clad in such right now. nevertheless, dress up is fun! something old something new, ugh—nothing blue! maybe in the next post?

long cashmere cardigan - boston proper

blouse - yep, same one as last post, hollister

pant (oh so madmen in feel!) - H&M

shoe - sam edelman

and finally, i leave you with a little run dmc.

has always been a fave...

love,

sunlovey

SHOP THE CLOSET:
there's nothing new under the sun, so they say.
i find that B.S. personally. but, alas, this look isn't new, just loved & happily still working in my current "state". ;-)

H&M + forever 21 necklaces, layered.

no joke,
delia's shades.
went in there because the store the german was in
smelled too strongly of plastic.
saw these baby blue polka dotted beauties
and swooned...

and... last, but probably should have been 1st. $50 to "blow" on sound. want to "invest" it wisely. splurge on something i'd generally wince at spending fifty bucks on. (which is wrong wrong wrong, i don't flinch when it comes to fashion!?) leaning towards indulging in something i probably should have 7 years ago, depeche mode's 81-04 remixes release, featuring reinvented tracks by the likes of underworld, kruder & dorfmeister, rex the dog & goldfrapp, etc. etc. a grave miss on my part? if only someone would weigh in...

a brand spankin' new depeche mode remix album will be released next month, so i kinda feel like i should have this one in preparation...
love,

sunlovey

#YAY for new washed out. feeeeeels good. download Ernest Greene's 1st new track, Eyes Be Closed here:

the dress.
spotted it on haute look a couple months ago.
it's by SugarLips & is such love. especially the back.
worn with shoe dazzle wedges & H&M bracelets + my new fave necklace from @MKtiernan, featuring a most appropriate 'L'... you'll have to tweet her & ask where she got it. LOVE LOVE LOVE.


hope your weekends ruled.
MINE SURE DID.
miss all my loveys, now though.
love,
sunlovey

winter = SPRING = summer
depending upon wear you are.
no matter, am pretending it's spring here (and not 85 degrees)in whimsical flowy blooms and hot pink wedges. brrrrr where you are? (can't BELIEVE some of you have SNOW!?) toss on a spring-hued cardie. done.
LOVE.
top: H&M.
jeans: shhh! Old Navy maternity ;-)
wedges: shoe dazzle
cardigan: free people
shades: H&M
happy pretend spring!

#LOVE from brighton... Lights & Offerings. MIRRORS.
you haven't acquired their album yet? do.
80s renaissance, analog synth heavy, electronic depth. or... pop noir as they refer to themselves. i don't want to pick a track or two i adore. i feel the whole release. the music is gorgeous and melodic; the vocals are quality and haunting. thank you, england, for continuing to put out bands that achieve permanence amongst my somewhat snotty list of perfect sound.

#LOVE from miami... was fortunate enough to attend the pret a porter showcase at miami beach international fashion week featuring boston proper amongst other eye-popping designers like LUXXE Collections-USA, Mariela Allaix-Argentina, Marina Makaron Moscow and Bata Spasojevic, winner of the MBIFW designer competition at Banja Luka Fashion Fair in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

#LOVE from H&M. they called this a top; i call it a dress. and the ruffles front & back make me feel normal again. ;-)
love,
sunlovey

hello, december!

this month is hectic, a flurry of activity. non-stop go go go. thus, the blog suffers. so sorry, loveys. i thought the least i could do was catch you up with some of the things i've been wearing amidst it all.

POPS

of red & plaid

ruffly top, forever 21. plaid shoes, betsey johnson.

if i lived in colder climes? i'd add tights and a major faux-fur coat.

PATTERN PLAYS

& over-the-knee boots

dress is forever 21, tights are anthropologie, boots, shoes.com.

CABLES & STRIPES

am living in sweaters, even on my legs! striped sweater leggings from H&M ('cuz yeah, we HAVE H&M now = YAY!) long cable cardie is boston proper, metallic stripe fingerless gloves: forever 21.

GOLD GLITTER

sparkle-encrusted hot damn-ness doesn't come easy... you're looking at at least six coats of OPI's twist of fate. hope your holiday season is ruling the world. give love.

cherish your family & friends.

listen to killer sound all the while.

this saturday's my wine & cheese party.

can. not. wait. to show you what i'm wearing.

love,

sunlovey

it's time to bloom 

if you aren't decked out in massive blossoms i can't help you. you should be. it's liberating. summer is on its way. happy weekend. 

love,

sunlovey

dress: forever 21

blouse: h&m

OMG. Yeah. I mean it. They're popping up like wild flowers everywhere and I must say I'm in, to the point of expletives. 

BLOOM ON B!TCHES. make it your own.

Headband: Forever 21

Silk exposed zip top: Yep, Forever 21 too

Pale pink ruffle skirt: Target

Finding it a bit too frilly & femme?

Oh girl. Toss on a military inspired jacket. 

Done. Shut up.

You remember my recently acquired Zara shoes, yes? But check out my garden-inspired H&M shades. LOVE.

Have been noting fashion (or is it beauty?) word, re: the side braid. Gave it a go too. Um, OK. Not bad.

Moral of this post's story though is, POPPING BLOOMS RULE.Get on it. Eff yeah. :-)

And watch, if you want to truly experience my fave band of the entire planet, The Cure: Triology. Mind-blowing beautiful, atmospheric sound that transcends all. Bass lines that make my eyes roll back in my head. This isn't a new DVD. But for some reason I just watched the 1st disc last night. Trilogy consists of The Cure playing their albums Pornography, Disintegration and Blood Flowers, all songs, in the order as they appear on each album. Mad good. The German actually ragged on me last night because I just stood there, directly in front of the TV like I was there, live watching. Filmed in Berlin. Quite cool. Check it out. Oh and HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

love,

sunlovey

Yeah. One more wee little fashiony Orlando post.
Stores like H&M are something like Mecca to those of us without one at our immediate disposal.Thus, we tracked the Orlando one down for a bit of retail damage the morning after A Place to Bury Strangers. #YAY. The Orlando H&M exists at The Florida Mall, outdoors as part of a brilliant trifecta of fast fashion, picture this—a gigantic gleaming Forever 21, a bright and shiny Zara and the ever elusive (to Florida at least) H&M. We were like two fat kids at a colossal candy store. In central Florida. Get there. Tear it up. 
The Florida Mall 8001 South Orange Blossom Trail Orlando, FL 32809 Word to the wise: meander on inside the mall & find Coco & Lolly. What a killer little fair-priced boutique. Note: I was enraptured by fitting rooms that day. Wanted to linger in them trying on looks forever. My exotic mini-dress is forever 21. Feels so vintage. It rules the universe.  I'll leave you with the song (I'll Get You by Classixx) that has yet to leave my head since Saturday thanks to @jesus_suns. Do you like bass? Scroll down.  love, sunlovey
