New bustier - c/o Living Royal, New necklace - c/o Shay Accessories, skirt - c/o Romwe, belt - F21, heels - Aldo, bracelets - Choies, Betsey Johnson, Rings and Tings, Jeweliq
You've probably noticed I've varied a LOT between summery warm weather looks to cool, fall looks this past month. This is because the weather is still in the 80's here, but the fall merchandise is coming out and I can't help but show you both styles :)
Of course, a tiny bustier and a skater skirt is perfect for such warm weather, and yes I wore spandex shorts underneath as I hope all ladies do when wearing such a short skirt, especially with heels. Besides the fact that I always like to wear heels, in this particular outfit I wore heels because otherwise I would have felt very top heavy with such a strong (stunning) necklace and my hair down too. I am always, always thinking about how to keep my looks balanced. :)

City Chic
Friday, September 28, 2012
I just love all the subtle prints in this outfit, and with the dark hues of deep blue, smoky brown, black and amethyst, it perfectly foreshadows the coming of colder months.
Fashion blogging is making me realize new things all the time. #1 is that I actually can put on false eyelashes, and I'm getting better at it (I think taking 15 min for application leaves a lot of room for improvement!). #2 is that I can actually find jeans that look and feel perfect, like Bullhead Black and these new Big Star USA jeans I never would have tried if not for them kindly sending me a pair. And #3 is that I absolutely must make it out to NYFW next fall. I can tell, after looking at so many bloggers recaps that I seriously missed out!
And I just find it really funny that you can't even tell I am standing next to an extremely busy street, and in front of a gas station no less :) But the sun and the nice, simple wall were in just the perfect spot. I often wish I lived in a real city though, not a suburban town, because I think my style is often more city chic than towns girl. That is not a very good reason to move to a big city though. Ha ♥

Magic Carpets
Wednesday, September 26, 2012
New Slouchy Animal Print Pants in Brown - c/o ShopAkira, New heels - c/o Daily Look, Bag - Nasty Gal, Leather bracelet with studs - c/o Furor Moda, New necklace - c/o Rings and Tings
Wearing all these harem pants better get me a magic carpet too :) Or maybe a monkey named Abu.
But in all seriousness, these slouchy animal pants from ShopAkira are so incredibly soft and comfortable, you won't even feel like you've changed out of your old sweats you like to bum around in. I paired them with some strappy black heels from Daily Look which I felt matched really well and solid black top, because these crazy bottoms really needed a little taming ♥

A few weeks ago I did a collaboration with an Italian store called Mizy, at mizy.it. The clothing style is very trendy, rock and roll European. It was quite difficult to shoot 10 outfits in 3 days along with (her) school and (both of us) work, but my sister and I did it! I only want to show you 6 of the looks, so I split them up into 3 posts. I don't think I'll do them in order though because I have other looks I have to show in between :P Hope you enjoy!
You Can See It In Her Eyes
Monday, September 24, 2012New skirt - c/o Goodnight Macaroon, New Crossed Out Crop Top - NastyGal, New necklace and matching ring - c/o Ziba Collection, New heart bracelet - c/o Rings and Tings, "Au Naturale" false eyelashes - c/o House of Lashes, Heels - Steve Madden, New sunnies - c/o ZeroUv, Clutch - c/o Heather Belle Co., Left bracelet - c/o Jeweliq
Black on black with a touch of gold, snake print and a tiny splash of my favorite color.
When I saw this top on Nasty Gal, I knew it was this skirt's match in heaven. So I snatched it up... along with oh, like four other AWESOME things (I can't wait to show you!!). And what I love about the skirt is the amazing front slit and the beautiful sheer panels. The acute cuts match the crop top so perfectly. Hope you love this look as much as I do :)
