Sporty Spice

New boots - c/o Naughty Monkey, New sunglasses - c/o zeroUV, Leggings - H and M, Sweater - Forever 21, Hoodie - Gap, Jacket - c/o Choies, Bag - Nasty Gal

I'm not very keen on showing such a casual look, but they honestly didn't look so slouchy in the picture! (And please ignore that my sweater is just a bit too short for leggings :P) I figure everyone knows the boots + leggings + shirt + hoodie layered leather jacket combo, but hey whatever. These boots are really really really comfy by the way. One of my sisters almost didn't realize there was a heel. And yes, this is totally a Sporty Spice outfit. You do know who the Spice Girls are right? :) 

Rose at Dawn

New bustier - c/o Living Royal, New necklace - c/o Shay Accessories, skirt - c/o Romwe, belt - F21, heels - Aldo, bracelets - Choies, Betsey Johnson, Rings and Tings, Jeweliq 

You've probably noticed I've varied a LOT between summery warm weather looks to cool, fall looks this past month. This is because the weather is still in the 80's here, but the fall merchandise is coming out and I can't help but show you both styles :) 

Of course, a tiny bustier and a skater skirt is perfect for such warm weather, and yes I wore spandex shorts underneath as I hope all ladies do when wearing such a short skirt, especially with heels. Besides the fact that I always like to wear heels, in this particular outfit I wore heels because otherwise I would have felt very top heavy with such a strong (stunning) necklace and my hair down too. I am always, always thinking about how to keep my looks balanced. :)

City Chic

I just love all the subtle prints in this outfit, and with the dark hues of deep blue, smoky brown, black and amethyst, it perfectly foreshadows the coming of colder months.

New top - c/o EllySage, New jeans - c/o Big Star USA, Clutch - c/o Heather Belle Co., Heels - Vince Camuto, Bracelets - c/o JEWELIQ, Oia Jules, Choies

Fashion blogging is making me realize new things all the time. #1 is that I actually can put on false eyelashes, and I'm getting better at it (I think taking15 min for application leaves a lot of room for improvement!). #2 is that I can actually find jeans that look and feel perfect, like Bullhead Black and these new Big Star USA jeans I never would have tried if not for them kindly sending me a pair. And #3 is that I absolutely must make it out to NYFW next fall. I can tell, after looking at so many bloggers recaps that I seriously missed out!

And I just find it really funny that you can't even tell I am standing next to an extremely busy street, and in front of a gas station no less :) But the sun and the nice, simple wall were in just the perfect spot. I often wish I lived in a real city though, not a suburbian town, because I think my style is often more city chic than towns girl. That is not a very good reason to move to a big city though. Ha ♥

Magic Carpets

New Slouchy Animal Print Pants in Brown - c/o ShopAkira, New heels - c/o Daily Look, Bag - Nasty Gal, Leather bracelet with studs - c/o Furor Moda, New necklace - c/o Rings and Tings

Wearing all these harem pants better get me a magic carpet too :) Or maybe a monkey named Abu. 

But in all seriousness, these slouchy animal pants from ShopAkira are so incredibly soft and comfortable, you won't even feel like you've changed out of your old sweats you like to bum around in. I paired them with some strappy black heels from Daily Look which I felt matched really well and solid black top, because these crazy bottoms really needed a little taming ♥

Italian Store - Mizy.it Collab Part 1

All clothing - Mizy,
Also shown: Outfit 1 - Romwe bag, Vivilli sunglasses,
Outfit 2 - Oasap belt, Aldo ring, NY and C watch, Vince Camuto heath heels

A few weeks ago I did a collaboration with an Italian store called Mizy, at mizy.it. The clothing style is very trendy, rock and roll European. It was quite difficult to shoot 10 outfits in 3 days along with (her) school and (both of us) work, but my sister and I did it! I only want to show you 6 of the looks, so I split them up into 3 posts. I don't think I'll do them in order though because I have other looks I have to show in between :P Hope you enjoy!
