Leather, Denim, and Tweed


Textures detail...

Awesome tweed! Love rough textures...


This is actually a shoulder bag with the strap tucked in.  I like it better that way...but maybe someday I can find a clutch I like that's meant to be a clutch!  ...I'm thinking colorblock...
Like my piggy tails?  ;-)
Was checking out some online photos of slick London street style (since it's London Fashion Week); it was very inspirational! 
And I, being the slight Anglophile that I am, have been watching black & white Sherlock Holmes episodes. 
These two influences combined in my brain, and out popped this outfit of leather, denim, and tweed!

Still trying to master the "messy cuff" on jeans...mine always turn out too crisp, like they're folded rather than rolled.  Any tips?

Sunglasses: thrifted
Jacket: JouJou
Vest: thrifted
Shirtdress: H&M
Jeans: Charlotte Russe
Socks: ?
Boots: Charlotte Russe
Bag: thrifted

So...word on the street is that white and NEON are in for Spring...I'm SOOOOO down with white...but NEON isn't exactly my thing.  But, I don't wanna be a hater, either, so here's my NEON contribution:


WOO!  This is a bit much, I think...but it sure is a bold statement!  heehee  A girl's gotta have fun with her nails.

Fingernail Friday


Kate Spade New York (@katespadeny) tweeted about a bazillion photos of polka-dot nails, clothes, bags, etc. this morning (because it's Day 2 of NYFW).  It was all so darling that I just had to jump on the dotty bandwagon!!!

The manis they have are all black with white polka-dots.  I figured I'd do it a little differently so that a.) it's not some weird kind of copywright infringement or something, b.) my mani is unique, and c.) it's a little more subtle and romantic in feeling (it is almost Valentine's Day, after all, and I probably won't get to re-do my nails anytime soon).

Sidenote: I've never done that whole "ring-finger-is-somehow-different" thing before.  I was worried my OCD couldn't take it (lol), but I'm actually loving watching my tips while they type!
