LE LOOK DU JOUR

I am seriously in love with this outfit worn by Laura Love at Coachella. 

This look is simply perfect.

I love the vintage boho feel that the denim on denim does for this outfit. 

The accessories, rounded sunnies and crossover body bag, are exactly the right amount of detailing. 

This outfit deems respect for being so effortlessly chic

in such ridiculously hot weather.

Dr Martens X Liberty of London

I typically wear very delicate looking shoes. My ultimate favorite shoe is a pointed flat; 
it's just so classic and girly. 

As of recently, I've been trying to challenge my style boundaries,

by looking for new trends that I would normally stern from. 

Introducing a pair of Dr Martens that I would love to purchase:

Liberty London prints! This print is so darling.

I love this feminine look on such a bad ass shoe:

 totally girl meets boy. 

Perfect love story. 

What do you think about this collaboration? ?

Another Rainy Day, Another Picture Book

I have been MIA this week!

 The weather has been really rainy, so I have been unable to take any looks. 

I promise I'll be posting a new look soon!

 Here are some pictures from another design book-

 I seriously love interior design, and this Scandinavian design book has so many beautiful aesthetics.

 It is modern, yet also traditional. 

I also love how this style uses components of nature; it really captures nature's rustic energy.

Recycle: How to pair it over, and over, and over again...

Do you ever have those pieces that you could wear over and over again?

I love finding new and creative ways to style some of my favorite pieces. 

Here are some of my ultimate pieces that I like to wear over and over again, 

but always with a different flare. Future spring piece makeovers in the works :)

My Brown Leather Jacket:

I waited about three years to find the perfect leather jacket, and I finally found one about a year ago, while I was visiting family in England. When purchases expensive pieces, it so important to me to find pieces that I will like for a long time. This jacket's details, in particular, were so intricate that I fell in love immediately. 

Flirty Lace Skirt:

I love this skirt, which was so cheap from F21. It is a great piece for the spring. I can't wait to wear it once the weather gets warmer: a little skin would make the skirt so hawt <3. 

That LBD: 

I have a bunch of black dresses, but this simply jersey long sleeve one was my ultimate favorite this winter. The ruching of the dress is my favorite part; it makes it look like a skirt when layered.

Cashmere Cozy Grandpa Cardigan: 

I got this treasure from my grandmother. It is so warm, and has the perfect amount of lazy grandma chic without being frumpy. I could wear this over any outfit. 

Everyday Booties:

I'm not really a shoeaholic. I tend to wear a pair of shoes over and over in a season, to the point where I can't wear them again. These Steve Madden booties have been my staple boot this season. I liked them because I found them to be pretty season neutral. 

Striped Long Sleeve Shirt: 

Once you find the perfect long sleeve shirt, its pretty hard to stop wearing it.

 I love stripes, so this shirt was a great find.  

The details of the front

Printed Leggings:

My mom thought I was ridiculous for buying leggings with bears all over them. She didn't think I would get a lot of use out of them: oh was she wrong! I love these leggings, which I wear all the time. They are so much fun to pair with different colors and trends. My little hipster prep (yes, a bit ironic) comes out when I put them on.

Favorite: Terry Richardson

I absolutely love Terry Richardson's photography. 

The way that he captures famous celebrities in such ordinary situations is genius:

I die for pure beauty on a plain white backdrop.

Oh yeah, and I guess sex sells too. 

You can check out his online picture diary for these and many more:

What do you think? Do you like Terry, or is he just too much?
