About a month ago, I got a fabulous message in my inbox from Tamia, the editor of Style Sample magazine. Style Sample is a magazine that is by bloggers, for bloggers. It feels pretty awesome to be included-as a blog to watch, no less! Thank you, Tamia, for including me!
I’m on page 10!
Also, check out page 29 for another awesome Boston-based blogger, Lei Ann. She is not only very well dressed, she’s a sweetheart!
I like today’s (well, yesterday’s) outfit better than the last one I posted. What’s been on your mind? I’ve been:
blazer- Zara
button down shirt- J.Crew
pants- Gap
oxfords- Steve Madden
Listening to… everything ever released by Kings of Leon
I’m not really loving my outfit, but it was the best I could muster after waking up to an overcast, rainy sky. Again. Just a little sun, man. That’s all I’m asking.
And how was your weekend? Chloe kitten had a playdate. It did not bode well for her playmate that she is twice his size. It was amusing watching her bop him in the head every time he walked by her.
I went to a dance class on Saturday. Street Funk, thank you very much. I was next to this guy who was absolutely terrible new at dancing and it kept throwing me off. Does that happen to other people?
top- LF
skirt- H&M
Boots- Jeffrey Campbell
Listening to “That Time” by Regina Spektor
It’s been a while since I’ve had some products to recommend, but these have seriously been rocking my world.
Eucerin Calming Body Wash
This stuff is amazing. My skin gets dry and itchy in the winter, so I needed something gentle. This is a great body wash but it’s an even better shaving oil. It makes my legs feel so smooth. I’ll never use anything else.
Make Up For Ever lipstick in 203 and MAC blush ombre in azalea blossom
I’m always on the hunt for the most intense hot pink lipstick I can find. Well, I found it! It’s a great creme formula that turns my lips into pure barbie doll goodness. I love using just a teeny bit for a softer pink for work. As for the blush? Instant cheekbones. And surprisingly not chalky on my darker skin tone.
MAC eyeshadow in blackberry
The nail polishes are great, but they’re old news. The eyeshadow is a great approximation of Metro Chic (the polish on the right). It’s a dark neutral taupe on me. Great for everyday or for glamming up with a smokey eye.
Do you have any products I should be raving about next month?
In all my excitement over New York Fashion Week, I haven’t bothered to post any outfits. And I’ve had some cute outfits!
Top- Forever21
Tank top- Forever21
Jeans- Martin & Osa
Apparently this lace top (and the dress version) have become very popular and sold out. I’m so glad I got mine early. It’s absolutely lovely on.
dress- Diane von Furstenberg
cardigan- Rodarte for Target
boots- Steve Madden
Love, love, love the combo of yellow and navy. Also, I think I finally perfected my version of “naturally” wavy hair.
dress- Zara
tights- Plush fleece lined tights
shoes- Nine West
So here’s an outfit I didn’t get to actually wear out. Too bad, ’cause it’s cute, right?
Listening to “Add it Up” by Violent Femmes
Yep, Marc gets his own post. I first looked at the Marc by Marc Jacobs collection and thought “well, this is cute. Great colors.” Then I looked at the Marc Jacobs collection and my heart went bippity-boop. It’s full of just beautiful, beautiful clothes.
Some more loveliness for you, my lovelies! NYFW has been rolling along and I have been here, here being not at new york fashion week. Maybe next year?
VPL
I’ve always liked VPL- the line is always simple with just enough going on to make it special. Like that amazing necklace in the last picture. Le sigh.
Doo.ri.
When I heard people tweeting about the amazing purple lips at Doo.ri. I was really excited to see the collection. Well, I’m not so crazy about the lips, but the clothes. The clothes! A nude evening gown is so classy and chic. And the slouchy suit is just awesome.
I can’t stop wearing this top. LOVE IT. I “borrowed” it from my mom ages ago and… she’s not getting it back. Sorry mom!
Remember my aversion to business clothes? Apparently, Chloe Kitten has no problem with them. She’s quite happy in proper business attire.
Yes, my girl cat is wearing a necktie. I think it’s quite chic, with a vintage vibe 
shirt- mommy
jeans- Gap
belt- vintage
shoes- Steve Madden
