Some Days Are Better Than Others

I'd been on a mission for the perfect high waist leather shorts for months, and finally scored big when I purchased these lovely shorts by Play Me. The feel and cut are total perfection. I've bought a few vintage pairs from etsy and eBay, but wasn't too thrilled when they arrived in the mail. I seriously have an addiction to leather bottoms. I'm up to fourteen pairs and counting. What can I say? I'm an eighties rock chick at heart. One can never have enough leather and vintage rocker tees in my book.

Happy Friday! 

Amtrak Is For Lovers

(Wool Hat - NASTY GAL, Dress - Style Stalker, France Moto Boots - Jeffrey Campbell)

I finally broke down and bought this black lacy number from Style Stalker last week, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. In fact, I've already worn it twice in the past seven days. I'm super impressed on how well constructed this dress is. It's very 1960's inspired and I adore everything from that era. If you're searching for that perfect little black dress, I highly recommend this one. Style Stalker never disappoints. 

Wishing Everyone A Beautiful Monday! 

These Walls Don't Lie

There's nothing better than throwing on my favorite denim shorts topped off with my T.Rex muscle tee. This is my definitely my go-to outfit when I'm in a rush out the door. I picked up a super cool Beatles tee today from Forever 21. If you haven't been to H&M lately, I highly recommend you do. They have so many Alexander Wang inspired knits that I could die. I left with my hands full. H&M never disappoints. 

Wishing Everyone A Lovely Weekend! 

The Great Gig In The Sky

(Wool Hat - NASTY GAL, Jumper - Free People, Sweater Shorts - LF, Everest Hiking Platform - Jeffrey Campbell)

With the official start of fall being just a week away, I decided it was time to pull out my favorite cozy knits from last year, and also add a few new pieces to my ever-growing collection. I was in desperate need of a new black jumper, so I stopped by forever 21, and left with more than a jumper. Is it me, or is forever 21 getting better and better? I spent under two hundred bucks and literally walked out with fifteen things. Talk about a lot of bang for your buck. 

Wishing Everyone A Wonderful Thursday!

Last Festival Outfit Of The Summer

(Wool Hat & Shorts - NASTY GAL, Sunglasses - eBay, Eagle Shadows Top - One Teaspoon, Belt - American Apparel, Ring - House of Harlow, Diego Bag - Alexander Wang, Wilma Platform - Senso Diffusion)

I'm so sad that Summer is coming to an end. This was the outfit that I wore to the last festival of the Summer. I know you're thinking, "Did she really rock those platforms at a festival?!" Let's just say they were switched out after about an hour with my leopard matiko flat desert booties. This is officially my last post wearing my one teaspoon top. I know, I said it a few posts back, but this time it's the real deal. With Fall approaching, it really leaves me no choice.

Wishing Everyone A Wonderful Weekend! 

It's In The Stars

(Wool Hat - NASTY GAL, Sunglasses - eBay, Silk Top & Belt - Vintage, Rocco Bag - Alexander Wang, Mint Skinny Denim- LF Stores, Cosmic Lita Platform - Jeffrey Campbell)

If you guys live anywhere near a LF Store, I highly recommend stopping by, as their entire store is 60% off. I managed to snag these cosmic litas for just under seventy bucks. What a steal, right? I've been lusting over anything in mint color this season, so I picked up this mint skinny denim too. I believe the sale is going on for another few weeks. I'm going back for round two later today. Wish me luck!

Happy Thursday!

Layer Away

(Hat - NASTY GAL, Sunglasses - eBay, Cross - Etsy, Jumper - Free People, Dress - UNIF, France Moto Boots - Jeffrey Campbell)

I love this UNIF dress so much that I've been contemplating on whether I should purchase it in black. There are so many wonderful ways to wear it, that I do not see myself getting too bored with it anytime soon. I've been into layering the most random pieces together, and this combination really works for me, so much that I've worn it three times in the past two weeks. If you're searching for the perfect jumper for layering, I highly recommend checking out free people, as they have a fabulous selection to choose from. The only problem is that you will most likely end up with more than a jumper in your cart. 

Wishing Everyone A Fabulous Week!

Ain't She Sweet

I seriously have this crazy obsession with pairing up my leopard platforms with the most random prints. The American flag was getting boring, so I stepped up my game and rocked them with my style stalker snake blouse the other night. I think it worked, however, I did receive some intense staring while I was out.

Have A Wonderful Weekend, Everyone!

Stay Real

(Sunglasses - NASTY GAL, Stay Real Tee - Brashy Couture, Black Galaxy Legging - Black Milk, France Moto Boots - Jeffrey Campbell) 

The rumors are true, everyone, Black Milk is officially the best legging designer of all time. I received my black galaxys a few weeks ago, and I'm totally in love. I was super bummed when I went to the site to order a few more pairs, only to find that they're sold out of almost every style that I wanted. I guess I will just live in these until they restock their site. What a total tease. 

Happy Tuesday, Everyone! You rock! 

Almost Chic

(Fedora - Asos, Sunglasses - eBay, Tee - UNIF, Blazer - NASTY GAL, PS1 Bag - Proenza Schouler, Legging - American Apparel, France Moto Boots - Jeffrey Campbell)

I use to rock these AA leggings at two times a week for almost an entire year. I decided to take a break for a few months, and now we're totally back on. I love mixing them with a look that is almost too safe just to create a little edge that I desire in all of my outfits. You really can't go wrong with anything from AA. Which reminds me, I need to make a trip there very soon! 

Have A Wonderful Weekend, Everyone! 

Every Rose Has It's Thorn

(Wool Hat - NASTY GAL, Sunglasses - eBay, Tee - Chaser, Fringe Bag - Vintage, Denim - Cheap Monday, France Moto Boots - Jeffrey Campbell) 

So, after searching for quite some time, I finally found the perfect pair of moto boots to replace an old vintage pair that are on their way out. Finding the perfect moto boot is no easy task. I purchased so many vintage pairs on eBay that ended up being complete flops once they came in the mail. Oh, the perks of online vintage shopping. Anyhow, I am totally in love with my new JC France moto boots. JC nails it almost every time. Almost.

Happy Wednesday, Everyone! 

Whatever Gets You Through The Day

(Pink Blazer & Hat - NASTY GAL, Diego Bag - Alexander Wang, Wilma Platform - Senso Diffusion)

I seriously rock everything in this post at least three to five times a week, so I feel they needed a well deserved shout out. This wide brimmed wool hat that I purchased from NASTY GAL about four months ago, is by far the most bad ass hat that I own as it goes with just about everything. I've been wanting a light pink blazer for months, so when I stumbled across this one on NG's site, it was a no-brainer. I know the Senso Diffusion Wilma might be yesterdays news, but they finally went on sale at Karmaloop, and I couldn't resist and bought them. In my opinion, leopard print is timeless, so I see myself wearing these for years to come. Last but not least, I'm still in love with my Alexander Wang diego bag. I know it's been blogged to death, but I paid a pretty penny for this bag, and I plan on wearing it until the studs fall off, which is probably never. I bought the rocco duffle in brown last month, but I find myself still reaching for the diego when I'm topping off my outfit. What are some of your wardrobe staples that you cannot live without? 

Let The Beauty Of What You Love, Be What You Do.

Okay, I know, I've been rocking this One Teaspoon bikini top three times in the past week, so I apologize for the monotony, it's just so awesome that I can't help myself. I wore this little number to a pool party on Saturday, as I have never been one to bare it all in just a swimsuit alone unless I'm at the beach. Even then, I still need a hat and some sort of jewelry to top off the look. There are a few Tavik vintage inspired suits that are now on sale at Karmaloop, so I am thinking about adding to my collection this week. What's your favorite swimwear designer this season? 

I LOVE TODAY!

(Wool Hat & Ring - NASTY GAL, Crochet Top - eBay, Belt - Vintage, Shorts - Mink Pink, Diego Bag - Alexander Wang, Leopard Wilma Platforms - Senso Diffusion)

I had such a wonderful productive day, hence the title of my blog. I decided today that I'm reverting back to my old "living this day like it's my last" ways. Today is truly a gift and I really feel so blessed and happy to be here. At times, I get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, that I lose track of the most two important things, which is loving and to be loved. Yes, I know, this is a fashion blog, so onto what I'm wearing and why. I received this lovely crochet number from eBay today, and for the price of fifteen dollars, I couldn't be happier. Lately, I've been into mixing prints, patterns, and metals that don't really go together, and I'm really digging the outcome. These new leopard Senso heels surprisingly go with every print and color in my entire closet. I'm now on a mission to find a pair of JC Litas in cheetah or leopard. I'll take either. I've been searching high and low and haven't had much luck. Any suggestions? 

Wishing Everyone a wonderful Saturday! 

Today is a Gift

(Double Knot Dress & Wool Hat - NASTY GAL, Diego Bag - Alexander Wang, Lita Platform - Jeffrey Campbell)

I'm so in love with my new double knot dress from NASTY GAL. The color and cut of this dress are total perfection. I have a similar maxi dress in blue by Shakuhachi that is a more casual style, so this will be great for festivals and dancing. I'm leaving for Vegas in the morning for a web development conference with my boyfriend, Adrian, and this dress is definitely going with us!

The Chills

I am taking full advantage of boot wearing weather before Spring sets in. I can honestly say these are the coolest boots I've ever worn. I'm a fan of buckles and brown leather. Doesn't hurt that they remind me of Burberry either. I can't believe New York Fashion Week is only a week away. See you there!

My Heart Skips a Boom

I can't get enough of this Koshka jacket. The brown boots remind me of the aviators from Burberry Prorsum. The chunky heel plays well with skinny jeans. I wore this over the weekend to catch up with old friends. How was your weekend?
