today was such a good day; slept in, had lunch with my bff at yats, went antiquing, and just drove around listening to my music deafeningly loud. sometimes i like my retail job for the simple fact that i can have a random wednesday off like this when others are stuck at work. but then i remember i work weekends...blah. love/hate. i think, no i know, i could wear this outfit everyday and be completely happy. blouse, big sweater, leather pants, my fave beat-up boots, yes please. i'm wearing it tomorrow again, because i can :) hope everyone's having a fantastic week. i will announce the winner of the la dama cross ring giveaway very soon!

the promise of spring has never been more exciting, but a wave of warm weather got my hopes up too early it seems, cause it's gonna be freezing this week.

monday morning.

h&m denim jacket and skinny pants; silence & noise sheer blouse; target bag; la dama cross ring; low luv x erin wasson scarab ring; fashionology.nl claw ring; forever 21 wedge ankle boots.

feeling very classic in my denim jacket and not-as-flattering-as-black-but-who-cares-cause-i-love-the-color pants. i've never been a bag person, but i've been hoarding them like crazy lately; this little structured guy is my latest. who doesn't love target for cheap thrills? actually, it's more like who doesn't go into target and end up spending $70 on random shit you "need"? lolol.
be sure to enter my giveaway HERE for your chance to win a cross ring from la dama - you only have until tuesday! XX

the mix.

h&m parka; h&m divided dress; asos necklace; gifted native LA bucket bag; marc by marc jacobs and forever 21 stud bracelets; gifted la dama cross knuckle ring; fashionology.nl claw ring; low luv x erin wasson scarab ring; gifted nine west espadrilles.

i've teamed up with nine west to celebrate the launch of their espadrille collection! this particular pair is very pretty (not to mention COMFORTABLE, key to every shoe i own), so i had to make them more effortless and dressed down with the addition of a tight mini dress and a military style jacket. i love the overall mix of feminine and edgy, my favorite way to dress.

check out my feature on nine west's tumblr page along with other bloggers here!

are you digging my new asos necklace as much as i am? the three triangles not only look cool around my neck, but when i'm not wearing it, it looks great hanging on a framed photo of daria werbowy in my room.

i love how warmer weather brings out a softer, more feminine/boho side of me. this vest is something that i can see myself throwing over everything this summer; i'm most excited about pairing it with my black bikini.

and thanks true religion for these jeans, from their new vintage collection!

i was just in detroit for two weeks for work, and while i was either too tired or too lazy to take proper outfit pics in my hotel room, i thought it would be really fun to do some iPhone shots each day, and here's my favorites. in your mind, just add one of the four ankle boots you see in the little closet to the right to each look. as you know, it doesn't take much to make me happy, just a loose top, skinny jeans, and a jacket plus some cool accessories.

BAM, perfect. such a nerd, huh? :P
