exotic shine

when i spotted this asian-y kimono-inspired top on hautelook a few weeks ago i felt overwhelmingly compelled to hoard it in yellow as well. damn smart of me, it's such love. the sunny yellow version is begging me hard to top a creamy chiffon & lace skirt, which is going to give off an entirely different aura. i'll try and get that on tomorrow if L allows. right now i'm in a sleek and stunning (ha) black nursing tank & heather grey leggings that have been compromised by a bodily fluid i'll spare you from mentioning. blah. i've digressed horribly... the shorts, well they're short. and shimmery. encrusted in black sequins. shine is going nowhere, loveys. so shine! tip: if you want to wear something some might consider a little overt, offset said item with something quite the opposite. that's what i did here, short shorts offset by a beautiful, flowy blouse. oh & yeah, i'm fully favoring shorts right now. mid-october. what can i say? add tights. spike & rhinestone heels round out this eclectic look. happiest of fridays, talk to me, i'm lonely...

love,

p.s. please check out my article on examiner.com, am trying to decide if i should continue to contribute as their local fashion trend writer, thoughts?

can you feel
a little love?









feels so very good to feel like self when not self. to craft a look that keeps you from feeling like a gigantic floating monstrosity with good year printed upon it.

have to say, also, combining a bright islandy beaded bracelet with tough gold spikes—well, that was like my piece de resistance, yesterday. i felt pride for pairing the two pieces together. a glittery black abstract ruffle tank paired back to a tribal bloom smocked waist skirt, also a juxtaposition i felt, intensely. ok i'm going to shut up now, it was just one of those days.

love,

love is.

this KILLER necklace of shards, spikes & rings from armani exchange. it's icy and edgy. chunky and bold. cool hotness. hadn't been in an AX in ages. ambled in post vino at city cellar and spotted this have-to-have.

liberty of london for target PJs worn as a top for a day at sea, err, intracoastal... the collection is fab. i want it all. but i fell hard for what was supposed to be a little something worn to bed. i do that a lot. 

gigantic blue star earrings, crafted in super lightweight wood, a gift from a baltimore boutique, thanks, jessiekins. 

 

it was definitely the brilliant blue that grabbed me, of course the sparkle. yep, more armani exchange. electric blue burn-out tank of stars, sparrows and most important, SEQUINS. 

you've prob. seen it before. my trusty rusty heather grey boyfriend cardigan. guess it would be more appropriate to call it a mr. rogers cardigan. purchased for peanuts at a boston proper sample sale. has been to more shows than i can count. gets tossed atop look after look, high and low. total fave. 

and last but so so so not least, the song that acts like a jolt of caffeine & claritin, my absolute love of the moment... neon indian's sleep paralysist. download it FREE, here:
