My Daily Style

Isabel Marant

Betty and Veronica.

I think style comes in two forms.  Your either a Betty or a Veronica.  But my absolute favorite is when you combine the two.  Good girl versus bad girl.  It could be a pretty flower sundress combined with an attitude, chain and metal jewelry, and some deconstructed boots.  Or...combining lace and leather is one of my favorite ways to do this. 

Which one are you?  A Betty or a Veronica?

Snakebites and Motorcycles.

As I mentioned before, my favorite line right now is Style Stalker.  I love the cutouts, the open backs, the   sweet textures.  Oh, and I love the bike too!

Pink Sunrises and Roses.

This morning on my way to work,  I enjoyed the most beautiful pink sunrise!  I felt so lucky to be awake to enjoy it.  Such a great reminder about how every day starts new and fresh, and we can always make it whatever we want it to be.  It is a crazy thing that I have learned over the past year, the power of your thoughts.  No one can ever make you think the thoughts you do except for you- so choose to make them about something postitive.  No matter how hard it feels to let go of negative thoughts you do have the power.  It takes a while to learn how to control your thoughts, but once you do, it will change your life.  It changed mine. So, today think about all of the good things in your life, no matter how small, as long as they make you feel happy.

Marie Antoinette to Bridget Bardot.

Two of my best friends are twins.  I love them more than life, and I love how different they are.  These two pictures remind me of their two very different personalities and yet how I love them both equally!  I was digging through my closet last night and found this book that I had taken from my dad's book shelf when I was really young just because I liked the title: "Getting What You Want."  I have had it in my closet for as long as I can remember, but last night was the first time I flipped through it.  The first little paragraph I  went strait to in the middle of the book was talking about how you need to first improve yourself and then others will be drawn to you.  It was talking about how you could buy the most beautiful dress, but if you didn't feel good about your body then you wouldn't like it on.  So, the moral of the story was to workout until you felt beautiful and confident, then when you put on the beautiful dress, you will be happy and want to go have fun in it.  Therefore, when you feel confident and satisfied with who you are, others will be drawn to you and want to continue to be with you.  I am blessed to have such amazing friends.

Golden Turban.

I found this picture on Lookbook and I absolutely fell in love with this turban!  I was so excited because it is Black Friday, and I got it for 40% off from Babooshka Boutique.  It is my first Etsy purchase and I am sooo excited about it! Oh I love getting mail.

...love the Great Gatsby theme

Here's a vintage dress that I adore.  It's so romantic.

A Warm December.

I love how Elle's December 2010 cover shoot is totally rejecting the idea of the cold.  I always wondered why people are so entranced by the idea of snow and cold weather.  Sure, there are cute coats, cozy fireplaces, and warm cocoa but there is a theme for all of those... warmth! It's because being cold hurts! Why not just go somewhere like this where you can wear  a cute sundress and get a tan while sipping your Mai Tai.   That's my kind of winter.

Plain White Tee.

I bought some lace at Joanne's (it was like $9/yard but you only need a little bit). Then I cut my plain white tee down the sides, and sewed it in.  I can never get enough of my white tee shirts, so this is a fun way to make it more interesting.  I paired it with my sparkly hot pants from F21 and my homemade chain headband.

Touch of sweet.

I am loving all things sheer, soft, feminine, flowy and pretty.  And, let's be honest,  I have to think realistic here- I am going to be in hot hot weather in just a few months!   So here are some outfits that I just wish I could live in on my trip to Sydney.

Winter White.

So, It is incredibly hard to not buy all the cute winter clothes this year.  There are some seriously cute sweaters and sweater dresses in Forever 21 and Victorias Secret's new catalogue. When I go shopping, what I really need are shorts, shorts, and tank tops.   My friends in Australia said that it will be so warm that I won't even need a coat while I am there.  I honestly can't wait, and giving up the adorable winter outfits is definately worth the price.  I hate the cold more than anything, and it just justifies my decision to leave everytime I step outside.  I am leaving in exactly 2 months :)

Here's a little italian secret pour toi:  Calzedonia

Chic Braids.

I adore Hilary Duff and I even went to her concert (2 years ago).  I grew up watching Lizzy McGuire, but she really has turned into such a chic fashion icon.  I think she is beautiful, too, especially with these adorable braids.  Here are some pretty braided hairstyles that I love.  I always do my hair the same every day: wash, scrunch, air dry.  These pictures inspired me to do something different for once:

Lust.

Okay, I really need to stop lusting over things that I cannot have.
But just 2 more can't hurt, right?

Office Ankle Boots $150

Burberry Boots Winter Storms $295

Actually everything in the Winter Storms collection...

Okay I'm done.

Taste of Champagne & Endless Fortune.

So, I haven't found the picture of Serena's dress from last season yet, but now I fell in love with another one of her outfits.  and... Wow, I have expensive taste.  Those lucky lucky girls.

I would give anything for these two items: GORGEOUS

Stella McCartney Sequin V-Neck Sweater Tunic Dress $1,195

Lanvin Cutout Leather Pumps $1,110

Now, onto things a little more reasonable, yet still out of reach

JCrew has some cute new holiday outfits.  I especially love the "Fete Set" collection

JCrew

And finally,  a look that I am going to wear next time I go out because I already own similar things. I love this look almost just as much as the others, and for a much more reasonable price- Free!

A casual button down, a sparkly mini, black tights, and black stiletto booties.
