influence

Some things never go out of style. Most notably, Influence. 

In this case, I’m also referring to the book by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Earlier today I was dreaming up a certain sandwich (that I’ve never eaten but imagined would be amazing) and needed to fulfill that vision. This required an afternoon grocery store visit.  As I was picking up the essential wheat “bolillo” bun from the bakery my eyes met *Influence* in a….. bargin bin ($4)! Haha, I mean it was published in 2008. But seriously, who knew they sell such chic books at the grocery store? Style is following me everywhere! ;-) I’m excited to add this to my collection!! A look at the inside via my camera phone:

What are you favorite fashion books?  Who influences you?

bella flora

i received jewelmint's (unseasonable but cute) *bella flora* earrings. although perfect for spring, i won't deny them on this rainy fall day. being a statement on their own, i paired them with a denim shirt and denim J brand bell bottoms to keep with the 70s flower child vibe. thoughts? hope you're having an amazing day!

traditional rebel

my evening outfit pics turned out blurry so i took post photos of the look; some imagination is required for the full effect. i paired a classic navy nautical top with leather like pants, teal Manolo Blahnik pumps, and silver jewelry with a harder edge. i like the juxtaposition of traditional and rebellious. what do you think?

the full outfit: leather jacket bought in italy, mom's clutch, f21 leather like pants, vintage choker necklace, lucky brand tassel necklace, manolo blahnik pumps
