Crop Sweater & Vinyl Skirt

I mentioned a few posts ago that I snagged some 90s Prada sweater crop tops for a steal recently. This one I got on the Real Real! I have a serious thing for cropped short sleeve sweaters. This skirt was also a steal, it’s from ASOS on sale for $42. Pretty happy I found it, I’m into anything PVC. Last week Jeff and I went to see the Fifth Element in theater, it was so inspiring to revisit the costumes Jean Paul Gaultier did for it. I think that might be why I ordered this skirt, actually.

Everyone always asks me on Instagram how comfortable these Dior shoes are, and the truth is that they aren’t really at all. They’re really tall, you can’t walk incredibly fast in them. Luckily thanks to the double wrap ankle strap, you feel pretty securely strapped into them. Otherwise I’d be afraid to fall out of them.

Sequins Forever

I have been wanting to show you guys this dress for a while! It’s a Lilie Rubin dress and it is so 80s it hurts. This is one of my favorite vintage labels to hunt for because everything Lilie Rubin is over the drop drama. Seriously, run an eBay search, you’ll find a lots of sequins, lots of ruffles, and lots of fringe! This is one of the more subdued pieces I own by Lilie Rubin. The all-over sequin embellishment gives this dress a lot of weight so it has a really flattering hang to it. No idea what the letters are attempting to spell out. I love the dropped sleeve on it too, that’s an 80s thing that really needs to come back in my opinion.

One of the reasons I was inspired to shoot with this dress recently is because my friend Sheri from Shrimpton Couture just put a different version of this dress in her shop. I am dying over it! I so wish I owned the version with the fringe.

Wearing it here with Prada smoking lips sandals from many years ago, a Fendi ‘Dotcom’ bag, and vintage earrings.

Denim Bustier & Camo

I was debating whether or not to buy this insane Cinq a Sept denim bustier top with my number one shopping buddy, my mom. “What would you wear it with?” she asked me. A patent leather pencil skirt I had just bought, for one. Or with a pair of camouflage cargo pants just for some early 00’s fun. “I have exactly the pair you need!” my mom said. She had found these army issue cargo pants at Salvation Army and was just holding on to them to give them to me. I am so lucky to have such a sweet mom! Needless to say, I bought the Cinq a Sept top and I’m totally in love with it. It’s very sexy and wearable, and it was a perfect pairing with these pants!!

Note the mini LV speedy…worn just to be extra cheeky. I mean, if you’re doing a denim bustier and cargo pants why not have a mini LV bag? It’s too much fun not to wear it! I feel nostalgic for 90s and 00s fashion in a big way right now. Promise there are no Juicy Tubes in my mini speedy though!

Playing With Accessories for the Big Day

This year is flying by, I can’t believe it is nearly summer and our October wedding is approaching so soon. I’m definitely starting to feel the heat on wedding planning! Luckily our wedding is pretty low-key. So far our list is just 50 people. We’re just going to have a nice ceremony in our backyard, and a cocktail reception there after. Keeping it simple has kept the stress out of the equation at least thus far! I’m so glad because now we can focus on how fun the actual wedding will be. I really can’t wait for it.

I’ve been so caught up in the planning the wedding that I haven’t planned out the details of my look for the big day. I have the dress, but no real plan of action on accessories or jewelry. I have some thinking to do on that. The dress I chose is a knock-out (with a bustle and cap sleeves!) and I don’t want anything else I’m wearing to compete too much with it. It definitely calls for something timeless and feminine. As some of my readers know, I’ve done a lot of styling with the jewelry from LAGOS the last few months and I immediately thought of their bridal collection as a possibility for wedding day accessories. I partnered with LAGOS on this post to play around with styling some accessories that would make the perfect touch for a bridal look or a shower. The pear double strand bracelet in particular is such a unique accessory for a wedding day look! The classic Caviar bracelets are also be lovely to mix in, I always love how they emphasize delicate wrists.

This post was created in partnership with LAGOS, as always, all opinions are my own.

Summer Wardrobe Planning

We are experiencing a bizarre mixture of stormy and sunny weather here lately. I’m actually ready for some pool time already, it’s warm enough to lay out (with SPF 40 all over). I’m not much for actually getting in the water, but I did just buy a new swimsuit. I think it’s the second swimsuit I’ve bought in my adult life so it’s a big deal! Now I want more! I love the idea of wearing a one piece suit with loose black slacks and a thrown on denim jacket for a pre-beach look or just for looking chic during the day. I think I’ll have to wait for the time being as today’s forecast is looking stormy. Skinny pants and trench coats it is today!

Neutral 90s Inspired

I had the good luck of finding this cropped Prada top on The Real Real, it has now joined my small collection of cropped short sleeve sweaters. I love this style of top for a 90s inspired look. The skirt I am wearing here is $20 right now! Take advantage while you can, they pretty much have a full range of sizes.

Suiting Up

This vintage Ungaro suit is one of the most treasured items in my closet. My mom found it for me ten years ago…I actually have blogged this before, probably around the time it was given to me! The suit is a cashmere blend, it feels like a dream to wear. Obviously living in Texas, I don’t get many opportunities to wear it. I was very happy to pull it out for this photoshoot! It reminds me of Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn.

I should mention that this suit also includes a skirt in the same fabric, I would love to shoot that for you to see sometime soon.

Worn here with Jerome Rousseau shoes, a vintage Carlos Falchi clutch, and Celine aviator sunglasses.

JUNYA F/W 2006

I got these Junya Watanabe pants at the last A Current Affair in LA. I was over the moon to find them as they are from the Fall 2006 collection which is just one of my favorite collections of all time! I am very lucky to own several pieces from this collection by now. I put them on the morning after the Met ball…I was a little disappointed to see so few invitees go all in on the Kawakubo theme! I will say that Caroline Kennedy, Solange, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Michelle Lamy looked totally amazing. I’m glad some people went for it!
