Outfit Post: Pink Tips, Polka Dots, Chunky Boots, NYC BLACK. Flashback

So this outfit is from a few months ago. I like the cozy factor going on here. And I tried something new with my hair here. Just take the front sections of each side, and make two braids. Pin on top of your head, et voila! This is a 'go to' look for me when it is chilly out. If I'm gonna do the NY all black thing, I at least need to mix some textures and prints.

Street Style: Los Angeles Style. Chartreuse, Florals, Burgundy, Leather Earrings

I took these photos of the lovely and stylish Marlena on New Years Day in Los Angeles. I love the color and texture of her outfit. The burgundy and forest green combined with the pop of chartreuse are so good!  
(Oh and P.S. she is a model for my Etsy Vintage Shop, so expect to see more of her looking fierce!)

I guess this goes to show you my mom has great style, and raiding her closet is best. I say shop your mom's closet. (always...some things never get old. sorry mom. =) love youuuuu!!!)

Outfit Post: Neon Green Maxi + Pink Floral + Grey Neutral

I got this chiffon pleated neonchartreuse maxi skirt on sale at old navy. I think it is beautiful, but it is a challenge to wear. I am still playing around with it. Here I chose to hilight the skirt (as if that was hard to do), while toning down everything else. I find that neon colors look good with pale pinks, greys, and other neutrals. I'm not sure I'm fearless enough to go for a head to toe chartruse neon look, but if the days back in Brooklyn get dreary, I may give it a try!

Oscar de La Renta Pre-Fall 2011

Also known as stop it. Just stop it. Ohmigoodness. I don't think I've ever seen an Oscar de La Renta collection I don't love. Perfect fall shapes, lady-like perfection (as always), and COLOR! Thank you. Being in New York surrounding by blackblackblack makes me want to dress like this all the time. There is also something so timeless about his clothes. I could see a fabulous mid 80s woman with big bangles in these looks, or a curvy 30 something, or a twiggy tall girl. Oh yeah and did I mention color perfection? The mix of prints, textures, and colors are so unique. Break those seasonal color rules Oscar, do your thing, get it done.
