Love at First Sight

|IMAGE VIA STYLENANDA.COM|

This winter, I've been strangely into the color BLACK. Something about this color fascinates me. Recently, my mood has been very grounded and calming--although college application process did not help that. I felt that wearing pieces incorporating black expressed that and I also enjoy how it looks modern and sleek against my body. I was looking in my wardrobe and I realized I did not own any black outerwear. It was a shocker because black outerwear is such a basic and a versatile piece. So being a shopaholic myself, I was--and still am--on a hunt for a black outerwear and I stumbled upon this black long coat from Stylenanda.com. It was love at first sight. This coat has an androgynous feel to it with its straight waist line, which I actually enjoy. What sold me was the leather lapel. Black (faux) leather has been one of my obsessions this winter, so having that aspect in this coat was just amazing. Unfortunately, there are two downsides of this specific coat. I'm not sure how it is going to fit on my body type as this coat only comes in one free size. Another drawback was the price of $140. It's not too bad considering its quality and the number of details this jacket contains.This coat is one of those pieces that you have to give it some time to think about its value. Will this fit in my wardrobe seamlessly? Will I have at least 10 different outfits with this jacket? If you can't answer these two questions, just pass it on.

Hopefully I will look back on this post later this week or so and decide if I really want this coat or not. If I find an alternative piece, I will probably have an outfit post with it.

LA ♥S ME

| URBAN OUTFITTERS SHIRT | H&M SHORTS, SUNGLASSES | FOREVER 21 NECKLACES | TARGET PURSE | REFLECTION SHOES | YVES SAINT LAURENT SHEER CANDY LIP BALM | COOL WATER PERFUME |

This was one of my outfits I had during the later month of July when the heat was starting to get to me. It was very beach inspired, as you can see from the shirt's saying "L.A. loves me." I need to go there soon! Anyways, that necklace is my favorite this season! I have been looking to get a geometric statement necklace in black or silver (like this one from House of Harlow), but the ones I liked were super expensive. I was so happy to find them at my local Forever 21 store! They never fail me :) As for shoes, I can't wait 'till school year starts so I can wear those babies out! It's so rad with all the spikes (I've been getting into cone spikes lately) and studs on the side. I got those from my local Reflection shoe stores, but I know there are a lot of other versions online such as here and here. I broke them in already, so they are super comfy!

Until next post...

RWB May'12 Lookbook

I can't believe it's July already! Even though I'm two months behind, I recently saw this Runway Bandit's May lookbook and I must say that I fell in love with it! Not only do I adore the clothing featured in the lookbook, but the photography  is so dreamy. I love this kind of effect, if you could not tell from my own editing of my pictures. The shoes are awesome as well, but I don't think they are by Runway Bandits.

Go like their Facebook page because they regularly hold giveaways and they sell awesome clothing!

They're Here!

What a wonderful sight! I was just browsing through Solestruck's website and I saw this collection. All I can say is BRILLIANT. I love Jeffrey Campbell's design and Black Milk clothings has the best galaxy and other prints. Combined together and working with Solestruck? Wow. I especially adored JC Cosmic Litas and these look more awesome. I'm not a big fan of the Sick Of Men print--that is the cartoon strip one--but I actually like the black and white print--Bone Machine. The name is too gothic for my taste, but who cares if the print itself is so funky! These are pretty pricey, which is the only downside for me and my wallet. If only I was a millionaire... x.x
