Inspiration: 12.15.11 - Print Crazy

Model: Carola Remer - Photographer: Greg Kadel

Oh so sorry for the lack of posts, I was focusing on my last couple weeks of school and finishing up a ton of final projects. But now...I'm finally done for the semester and I can just RELAX (a word I don't hear too often). 

I thought this editorial from Vogue Germany was totally fab. There are so many prints, and yet it works! I love how the scarves look as if they're just floating around the models, so amazing!

Acne Brogue Wedges

Acne Spin Leather Brogue Wedge

I know, I know...these are super funky looking, but I think that is the exact reason why I want them so much. And they're 50% off on net-a-porter.com...I'm crying on the inside, somone please give me $385 or buy them for me for Christmas haha

Bjørg Heresy 2012

I'm always looking for new and unique jewelry and the Bjørg 2012 Heresy collection definitely fits that criteria. I especially love the spine bracelets, the black hairy collar, and the triple finger claw ring. And that ciagarette holder! I don't smoke and I just think that is absolutely fabulous. The ear cuffs are also pretty interesting and might be something I'll try in the near future. What's pretty cool about this jewelry, besides the amazing designs, is that all the materials are 100 % natural and obtained in accordance to environmental preservation.

Versace for H&M Dress

HOLY CRAP! I just found out that I won a Versace for H&M dress on the blog StyleScrapbook.com! I'm super excited because only 2 dresses were made in this particular color, and oh yea, I've never won anything in my life haha. Saving this baby for New Year's Eve when I'll be staying in Miami! YAY!

The Dream Shoe

Mark Charles Afina boot

When I saw these at the feet of Sandra from 5 inch and up, I instantly fell in love. I immediately checked to see who makes these beauties and found that they are by Mark Charles. And soon I realized, not only do these shoes look killer, they feel killer. Memory foam cushioned soles with extra padding on the heel and ball, super fitted Italian leather, and come in a wooden box with extra heels and a care kit (wtf?! HOW AMAZING?). Oh yea, and did I mention that they're £522.00 and each design is limited to 500 pairs?...well, there goes that dream! But seriously, how hot are these?

Organization

Acrylic Makeup Organizer via Beautysupply.com

Recently I purchased this acrylic makeup organizer because I was so sick of rummaging through a giant makeup bag to find something, and it's so amazing! It fits everything perfectly and even has a section to put a small tissue box and some Q-tips and cotton balls. I have super OCD when it comes to organizing my things, so this was an absolute must for me. The fact that I live in a smallish one bedroom apartment with my boyfriend also means that I need to find unique ways to organize my endless collections. Soon I'll show you my ways of organizing jewelry, bags and shoes.

The Perfect Palette

NARS Bronzer/Blush Trio via Sephora

I've been completely obsessing over NARS makeup lately and when I saw this palette at Sephora, I had to have it. Yes, it was a little pricey, ($55) but I know this is something that I'll use every single day. Oh yea, and it's a limited edition palette so I guess that made me want it even more. Really, it's the perfect bronzer, highlighter, blush trio. I rarely wear a lot of makeup to school, so I just need to swipe this on with some powder and mascara, and I'm good to go!

The Basics

Tan booties- DV by Dolce Vita Jamison/ Black booties- Aldo Carrio

Lately, I've been finding myself wearing these same booties over and over again. Definitely a must have in my fall/winter wardrobe. Super comfortable and extremely versatile. What are your must haves and basics for this fall?

Burgundy Black and Sparkle

Burgundy Hat-F21/ Necklace- H&M/ Lipstick- NARS in Tonkin/ Nail polish- black Orly with UO rainbow sparkles

Now that its finally cool out (we had a couple 80 degree days here in NY) I can wear my hats again! One of my favorite accessories. Just picked up this new one at Forever 21 in a beautiful burgundy color, definitely one of my new favorite colors for fall. And finally wearing my new matte lipstick from NARS. I'm usually not a huge fan of matte lipsticks but in this particular color, it helps to create a natural look. Loving sparkly nail polish lately and layering it on top of black helps it sparkle that much more.

Happy HUMP day!

Gold Satchel

I've been searching high and low for a bag just like this. It looks like a Cambridge satchel, but the straps are different and I've never seen such a color on the website. Where can I get this?!!!!!

So yesterday was my birthday and I had the most wonderful day (despite waking up with a wicked headache), spent with my love, Joshua. Here's a peak at one (of the many) presents I bought for myself. Loafer + creeper + patent leather = amazingness! It's safe to say that my boyfriend absolutely despises them, but who cares! Soon I will show you what Josh got me, something I've wanted for a very very long time. Can you guess what it is?

P.S. Happy Birthday to Me!!!! :D

Fall Is Upon Us

Woke up to wonderful fall weather, my absolute favorite time of year.  Time to break out the scarves!  Oh yea, and my birthday is 6 days away!!

FNO

Just a tab bit late on this one...Unfortunately I didn't take as many pictures as I wanted to, but I figured I would share the few photos I did take and the little goodies I scooped up while shuffling down Broadway in Soho (SO CROWDED!).

My best girl Amanda

Insane shoes that I saw a girl wearing in American Apparel...she did them herself!

Urban Decay Naked palette that I've been dying to get

Yup, I gave in and finally bought the American Apparel leather pouch (only because I got Lauren's discount!)

Jeffrey Campbell Clinic

I didn't buy these at FNO, but for FNO.  I wanted to have them so bad, I ended up buying them twice on Solestruck! The first time I picked standard shipping and they weren't going to be delivered in time.  Second time I picked express and they were scheduled to come the day before, BUT I missed UPS while I was at work!  And so, I finally received these amazing shoes the day of only for them to rip my feet up all night (whoever said these were comfortable in the reviews are out of their minds).
