Out and About

tank: Sparkle & Fade, top: Anthropologie, pants, Joe's Jeans, shoes: Forever 21, necklace: ASOS

This past week I went shopping in LA with my mom to pick out costumes for my dance studio. She is in charge of putting together all the looks for our competition pieces, quite a task considering there are 25 girls to fit. It ended up being a rather successful trip, now the rhinestone-ing and alterations will begin! I decided to wear my new top that I got at an after Christmas sale at Anthropologie. I swear I fall even more in love with that store every time I go in, from the clothing to the books and decor. It's usually way out of my price range, but the rare sale is always fantastic.

They're Here!

Sweater: Forever21, Shorts: Levi's, Belt: Forever21 Tights: ASOS, Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell

This year ended with a fun surprise thanks to my frequently mentioned friend Alyssa. For my birthday she bought me a pair of black Lita booties by Jeffrey Campbell. I would have to say these shoes have somewhat of a legendary status among the fashion blogger community and now I know why. At nearly 6'' tall, these are some of the most comfortable and easy to walk in heels I have ever worn. Not to mention, they add the perfect tough edge to almost any outfit and make me feel seriously bad ass. I definitely can't wait to think of more ways to wear these beauties.

Holiday Shopping Guide: The Darling

First up, the Darling.
The Darling is the girl who doesn't mind overdressing if it means she get's to wear her favorite dress. Wants ever part of her life, down to the smallest detail, to be beautiful. Bows, feathers, and lace are a prerequisite.
