'Yet Herein Will I Imitate the Sun'

Saw this photo in an issue of Lucky Mag., and for some reason it really caught my attention. So I decided to copy the styling completely. I usually like to put my own twist on inspiration, but this styling had everything that I love: layers, neon, pink and black and white! Plus, it was cold out when I was flipping through the magazine, so I guess the bright yellow sweater and the mint skirt sang 'hallelujah' to me!

Check out my Pinterest boards (here) for more of what inspires me!

'Her Infinite Variety'

Yup, it's this Zara blouse AGAIN (worn here and here)! I can't tell you how much use I've gotten from it. And to think the first time I tried it on, I left it behind in the store. Thank goodness I went back for it. I reach for it at least once a week.

And I couldn't help but add this adorable neon belt that I got from Asos for $10. Oh yeah, I'm bright as hell (how ever bright that is) and I'm loving it!

I see the blouse in the summer with sleeves rolled all the way up, over some denim cut offs like these.

NEW IN:

I call them my low-top Litas! And incidentally my only purchase on Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined. I'm so proud of myself (**grinning widely**)

Jeffrey Campbell Fairlane via Nasty Gal

Orig. Price: $158.00

Paid: $118.00

These I bought a while back and have only now just taken them out of their box and found a spot for them on my shoe shelf. LOVE them and how cute are the lightning bolts on the zippers!

(**UPDATE** I have since worn these shoes since writing this post and must confess that I totally ate the ground and scratched the toe on the right foot. I am devastated!!! Not because I went down like a sack of potatoes (and I fully blame my tall ass boyfriend who thought I could keep up with his long strides in my six inch heels, and I blame the damn uneven pavement of NYC) but that I scuffed my beautiful babies on their first go. Boo!)

'The Green-Eyed Monster'

As I previously mentioned in my Fall/Winter '11/'12 Look List (here), I'm into everything monotone at the moment! As soon as I brought this Anthropologie blouse home (after it FINALLY went on sale..thought I would have to cave and pay full price for it), my eye went right straight to this JCrew pencil skirt (still hanging outside of my closet for me to more easily ogle at) and I knew they'd be lovers!

Threw on my Jeffrey Campbell Grayson's (still available here and in this color here) for some added fun, (incidentally, I think this is the first time these babies have been blogged in action!) and also this adorable vintage turn-lock bag I won from Jody-Ann of Confessions of a Purse-a-holic a while back.

What I'm Wearing:

Skirt: JCrew
