Spike it

A beige leather jacket has been on my wishlist for a while now and I couldn't resist how comfy this one felt and the price was great (from Topshop). This 3/4 sleeve and perfectly fitted one has a brass studded collar that folds over to change into collarless neckline! Wearing with a Kain tshirt, Acne jeans, Givenchy wedges, and another teeny Chanel bag.


Necklace from Van Cleef & Arpels
Sometimes I'm really sick of the tough leather chic/studded/spiked phenomenon that has taken over, but then I see some women pull it off beautifully without looking too laid-back and hipster trashy and I fall in love all over again.

Mary-Kate Olsen

Taylor Jacobson (Rachel Zoe's assistant) Yeah I guess you would say she's got that rocker "I wake up with a bird nest in my hair but I don't give a fuck" aesthetic going on, but I give her major points for having good style..or so we saw on the show. Maybe Rachel secretly dressed her everyday.

Random but extremely chic woman

Loverly

I was never too big on jewelery, but in the past few months I've been really filling up my jewelery drawer with sparkly and shiny things. Most of the things I love are big costume pieces but I've realized the importance of really classic pieces as well like the Cartier Love bracelet which was a birthday present.


Sorry for the lack of posts, I've been a lazy blogger but I have a few things that I'll show very soon :)

Who doesn't love free stuff???

Courtesy of Chickdowntown, a website that has an amazing stock of designer clothes and accessories, I've been asked to select one lucky reader to receive a free pair of Current Elliot jeans that I personally picked out :)

Some info about Current Elliot for those who are not familiar: Started by a pair of LA stylists-turned-designers, they launched a new line of chic, desirable denim. The Current Elliott label received praise from Vogue magazine’s July issue in citing it as “the most refreshing denim line to come out of LA’s jean scene in a long, long time.” Personally I really love how they have the perfect vintage "worn and torn" finish to every pair, this makes for a laid back and effortless look.




I picked these because they're super slim, stretchy, and a perfect black pair of jeans is a closet staple! They make the perfect bottoms to go with everything from big knit sweaters for lazy days to embellished tops for going out.

The terms of the contest: Unfortunately it's only open to U.S. readers (sorry!) and it will run for 15 days, until July 3, 2009 at 12 p.m. EST. Leave a comment along with an email address or somewhere to contact you and I will RANDOMLY choose someone to receive the jeans! Along with your information any comments or feedback about the brand or the pair I picked out would be great!

Check out their entire Current Elliot jeans collection on the site. While you're browsing, take a look at their Nation LTD tshirts..something that would look sweet with any pair of jeans! Nation LTD is a company that creates really comfortable and classic vintage tshirts that are of good quality.

D.I.Y. Balmain bling

Finally after watching a million movies and making 4 separate orders for rhinestones, my skirt is finished! I made it in time for my birthday party and was really surprised that only one stone fell off :D I've fixed it since then but here is the end result! Wore it with a regular white t-shirt from Vince (that got caught in the zipper on the back and totally got ripped up. Trashed, lol.)

Blazer found at Opening Ceremony, Helmut Lang tank, Christian Louboutin booties

Now I'm thinking of embellishing one of my black blazers with jet black rhinestones...hmm...

A Chanel charm bag I got for my birthday that is barely big enough to hold my Blackberry! A little impractical but so effing cute.

How nice is that huge crack in the screen? Appeared one night I was ridiculously drunk..


22 French macarons from Madeline's my friends surprised me with at my party :D
10000000x better than any cupcake!

Rompers are the way to go

Another great Topshop find. The ridiculously long lines, messy racks, and crowds of tourists are worth the cute things they have there like this floral romper! The bottom is actually shorts and has pockets to maximize comfort :) I'm wearing it with a BCBG blazer I found on sale recently and Marc by Marc Jacobs shoes I bought in high school (6 years ago!)
