One, Two Ways

Cheap Monday open bracelet

I love Cheap Monday, they always know how to execute a simple, yet totally cool design. Whether it's a shirt dress, a favorite boot of mine or a jean (of course), they always know wassup. So, of course, it came as no surprise to me when I found and fell in love with this awesomely simple bracelet. I feel like I don't wear copper enough, it looks really nice against white and it warms up your skin tone.

Now, you're supposed to wear this piece as a double bracelet, but sometimes I like to hook the chain under my middle finger for something a bit more edgy. I'm thinking of getting another one so I can wear them on both hands at once!

Cacophony

Ph: Guang Xu


Ciel sweater (thanks, Nat), Forever 21 blouse, 7 For All Mankind jeans, Alexander Wang heels, Remi & Emmy bag, Lulu Frost Double Sawtooth bracelet mixed with various random goodies, Plukka Bullet ring, Jenny Bird coin ring, Accessorize tri-ring

A late afternoon in Brooklyn with some peeps. Guang finally took me to Nha Toi, this outstanding Vietnamese joint in Williamsbrg. We ordered up some pork belly banh mi, pho (duh) and sumer rolls. I would show you some photos, but we kind of inhaled everything before I had the chance to take some really good ones. My appetite waits for no one, except maybe a little artistic integrity. Moving on...

So Nat gave me this sweater, it's goofy as hell but I love it. It's warm and has polka dots. Done. I also donned these amazing 7FAM floral jeans from their spring '12 collection, I'm usually kind of picky when it comes to prints on jeans, but these are really great for layering since the print is so small yet varied. AND of course, I wore out my new (kinda) Alex Wang heels. I'm set for spring now. If you look closely you can see the iridescent detailing along the base of the shoe, gotta love it.

And of course, special thanks to everyone who entered last week's By Boe giveaway! 
Our winners are Jane B. and Gia K. (I've sent y'alls emails, congrats!)

But the giveaways don't stop here! Notice the finger candy I'm donning? That's Plukka's bullet ring for their "Razor Mittens" collection, an awesome mix of edginess and sleek design. It also doubles as a weapon, which is pretty nifty. Plukka is a really amazing shopping platform for getting your hands on some insanely beautiful fine jewelry for way less than usual (like, 70-90% less than usual). They're actually running a Facebook giveaway right now where you can get your hands on your own bullet ring. Just like 'em and enter here :]

Good Luck!

Busy Body

Urban Renewal jumpsuit, Winter Kate cardigan, vintage Coach bag, Aldo boots, By Boe octogonal necklace mixed with vintage necklaces/rings


Break kicked off swimmingly with a stunner of a day, completely clear, warm and sunny!
I swear I wasn't trying to be ironic when I wore this jumper to help Natalie move into her new apartment,  it has to be the most repelling item I own (my boyfriend probably hates how shapeless this thing is) but I can't help but find it chic as hell when worn with edgy ankle boots. It has such great detailing in the back and it's crazy comfortable too! Throw on some amazing jewels to make it less hard hat-appropriate and you might as well call it spring. This is how I prefer to go out on days like this, manually labor-intensive or not.

Nat, Bonnie and I had a wonderful day full of general silliness and running around the city. Best believe Shake Shack happened along with good tunes and "oohs" and "ahhs" about how damn GEWD this weather is!

btdubs, don't forget about my By Boe giveaway!! You can win an octogonal necklace of your own!

Breaking

vintage jacket, Lucca Couture romper, Rebecca Minkoff bag, Aldo boots, Persol sunglasses


Spring break hath cometh!!
Midterms have ended and I am totally in break mode already, the weather here in NYC has really picked up! I wore out some pieces hat I have been dying to throw on, and as soon as it hit about 70º this past week, they were off their hangers in a millisecond. My mom and I both have our birthdays in spring, so when I was growing up, early springtime was this really magical time of renewal when my mom would totally change the color scheme in our apartment. Robin's egg blue and paintings of cabbage roses were everywhere, which is why I love this romper, it totally reminds me of being a kid! The jacket was a recent find at my local Buffalo Exchange, I always find the best pieces there! I mean, you guys, it has inside pockets. Could it get any better? And this RM bag is a dream, the shape is super classic and the gold detailing really warms up the red, I love using it for a pop of color!

The boyfriend and I roamed around downtown for a bit, this is actually where part of the NYC/LA January Free People catalog was shot!
