'Black White, Foul Fair'

I really try to stay away from black and white outfits solely because I wore the combo to death (along with all shades of grey) back in the day.  Now, I really try to embrace colors but every now and then, I dapple in a little black and white.  Oh, and I threw in the scarf for a little bit of punch.

 

This laugh is pretty much what I did when I got off the plane from heat and humidity of Miami and was hit with a blast of cold NY wind!  Couldn't freakin believe it!!  At the risk of sounding redundant, CAN WINTER PULEASE GO AWAY!!!

What is the first thing you guys are going to do when the weather warms up?

Would like to say a HUGE thank you to a new found blogger Alex from Of Mice and Minutiae (isn't that the best blog title?)  Anyhoo, she nominated me for the Stylish Blogger Award.  Her style is super quirky, super funky and just super cool!  So ladies check her out and please show her some love if you're not already following her!

'There's Daggers in' My Belt

This little silk onesie would not have been had it not been for the eye of the bf!  Although he is constantly trying to cure me of spendalotallthetimeitis, he sure does have a good eye for what would fit me.  For some strange reason, I thought onesies were not for me, let alone wearing one to work (with a leather blazer of course).

 I was wrong.

Paired with the belt, it is genious!  Oh, and I just had to put on the sequined tank just to let it play peek-a-boo with the racerback.  Thought it was a pretty touch.  Thanks BF!!!

'Neither a Borrower Nor a Lender be'

We've all heard the phase: immitation is the sincerest form of flattery - and though I'm not too big on copying the exact ensembles I see on models in magazines or the manequins in stores (because hey, I'd like to think myself somewhat the fashionista and one who can throw a garment together), sometimes, just sometimes, a getup will come along that is just made for each other (and for me).

Anthropologie's Rising Vapor dress and the Expedition Obi were just too adorable to separate, and what else would that elephant belt look good with? When I saw the belt in person, I knew I had to have it. One, I'm a great animal lover and think elephants are the cutestest things, and two, I am in love with anything sequins! So when I saw the belt paired with the dress, I knew that a borrower I'd be!

So ladies, although I say, don't fall into the habit of mindlessly coping styles out of books or stores, but only using them for inspiration, do realize when something is just too good to not duplicate!
