SLEEPWALKER/pajama trend

 

 I'm not letting go and it's not dying...the sleepwear as streetwear trend is already making an appearance in S/S 2014.  Just think of the most recent Wang show and all of its glory.

IF YOU LIKE SOMETHING, PUT A BIRD ON IT/zara embroidered bomber jacket

Fell in love with this jacket right away.  I'm a total sucker for anything with a bird on it.  But I have to say that Zara's website continues to dazzle me this season (bird or not) and I just can't stop placing orders!  

Also, I was very much inspired by the April 2013 NYLON Magazine, as I decided to do the whole veil/baseball cap look.  Love it!  Too warm for a beanie, so I might as well incorporate the veil in another manner.

STRAWBERRY FIELDS/marc by marc jacobs pumps in cedar patent

I don't have a ton to say for this post, but...who doesn't need a strawberry headband?!  I purchased this cutie at a local flea market this past weekend.  They didn't just stop at strawberries either...they had oranges, apples and even a little nesting bird.  Fruit makes for such an exquisite accessory; in fact, just holding a granny smith apple with a hot pink dress doesn't seem like such a bad idea.  Never underestimate the power of a hot prop.

SIGNS OF SPRING/alexander wang cummerbund silk-crepe pants

The sun was out today and I couldn't be happier!  I felt like one of the models from the Marc Jacobs' F/W 2013 show...feeling almost dependent on the sun.  The warmth, the light, the overall feeling of the city...it was a beautiful day here in Denver.  And I definitely needed it to conquer my wintertime blues.  

Since it was warm, I decided to whip out my boudoir jacket that I purchased at the Antique Mall.  I purchased this cutie a while ago, but it has been far too cold to wear it.  It makes me think of the Alexis Mabille Spring 2013 Couture collection...so soft and feminine.  Soft, feminine and lots of pink is what I'm dreaming of for Spring.

BEAT IT/tildon flawless booties

I haven't had much to say lately.  I am longing for spring and so the ugly scenery of winter is less than inspriring to me.  I need some color, some warmth, some flowers...something!  Hoping that my upcoming vacation will inspire me.  Until then...wearing some of my fave pieces as I keep trying to beat the winter blues.

 I bought this hair protector at a vintage shop because I fell in love with the mink fur and rhinestone detailing.  Of course everyone wondered what I was going to do with it.  My hair is normally a mess and so there is no point in protecting any part of it.  Well...I decided to wear this little cutie as a headscarf.

AFTER THE STORM/vintage fur jacket

Sorry for the lack of posts lately.  We had a major snowstorm in Denver last weekend and it just so happened to coincide with our shooting day for the blog.  So, we are a week behind.  

Nevertheless, we are back.  But I am going to be honest with you...I am feeling less than inspired these days.  It must be Spring fever.  I just want to be in all florals and pastels, but it is too dirty here in Denver right now (as everything melts) for any such thing.

TITLE UNKNOWN/alexander wang agnete heels

When will I ever give up the mini?  This is something that probably many are wondering and sometimes I even wonder myself.  But I can safely say that it will be no time in the near future.

Wearing a mini skirt that I bought so many years ago...yep, I was digging in the archives for this post.  Even the sweater is pretty old, but I have to say that it is still one of my favorites that I own.  It has a side leather zip that still makes my heart melt to this day.

Notice the new muff.  How on earth could I pass on this cutie?!  It has a little face on it!  This muff has taken my muff expectations to a whole new level!  I mean...shouldn't all muffs have little faces?!  I found this cutie at the antique mall.  It is actually for a child, but I have fairly small hands so there was really no excuse not to buy it.

SCARLET/vintage red cape coat

Falling in love with the Jil Sander A/W red coat made me remember that I have something similar in my own closet.  My mom's friend gave me this piece a few years back and I don't wear it nearly as often as I should.  My mom's friend got this coat from a family friend and believe me when I tell you that it is in perfect condition...I think that maybe only a couple of buttons were loose when I go it.  Pieces such as these make it easier to beat the winter blues...something about the red color and dramatic cut have me completely smitten.  Each time I wear this beauty, I feel a constant stream of warmth in my heart.

Happy Valentine's Day.

MINNESOTA TREASURES/raccoon tail hat

I have been more inspired by softer/feminine things lately.  I find myself reminiscing about Andy Walsh in Pretty in Pink, Thedy Sue Hill in The Alfred Hitchcock Hour and the recent New York fashion show by Candela.  I've also been dreaming of hair bows, vintage camisoles and everything pink.  This is not an unusual thing for me, but I wonder what has sparked my softer side's re-emergence.  Where is it all coming from?  My recent trips around town?  It does seem that every store I visit these days has been doused in the pink and red hues of Valentine's Day...maybe a craving for romantic style clothing was triggered?  Or could it be spring fever?  Perhaps I am just lusting over a season where anything and everything feminine just seems to feel right and all things pastel take over the world.  

Nevertheless, I found it necessary to pull out some of my favorite vintage camisoles.  I am wearing a vintage cami with a necklace that my mom made out of old jewelry.  I love this necklace!  It just cracks me up because I know that someone purchased this "Minnesota" charm (which was an earring) on a special vacation.  You can just tell that someone fell victim to one of the tourist shops next to some major attraction...and all of a sudden, it became absolutely necessary to own some "Minnesota" heart earrings.  I love dreaming up the different scenarios that could have taken place, which is why I had to make this necklace my own.

AT WAR WITH THE GREEN RING/costume jewelry

Purchased a handful of these cheap rings in Dallas.  I just couldn't pass them up!  The colorful sparkle has taken my finger overload to a whole new level.  They add a touch of glamour to any casual ensemble (as in jeans and tee-shirt casual), plus layering them up only makes them look better!  The only danger with cheap rings such as these...they could leave you with the harsh reality of a green "reminder" ring around your finger if you are not careful. 

Note:  Please remove rings prior to hand washing.
