Heels: BCBGeneration (via Marshall’s). Broach on pearl necklace: vintage Miriam Haskell via Paris. Bag: Paolo Masi (last seen here). Lips: Chanel Gloss “Excess #60″

Out with the new and in with the vintage! This ombre fur jacket was lust at first sight. The unique coloring made it a piece I simply couldn’t live without. As for the leopard hat, I’ve always been an advocate of a good hat. Just ask my parents about my obsession with my beaded red pill box hat. I was only five, but that thing would never leave my head. The style of this hat in particular pays homage to my ultimate “it” girl, Jackie O. Also, if you have the chance or desire, stop by J.Crew and pick up one of these velvet tees. I now have one in this color as well as hot pink. The incredibly plush fabric and beautiful colors make it the perfect top to wear with anything from jeans to elegant evening wear, and it certainly made my Tuesday feel just a smidge more luxurious.

Patent Bag: vintage (my Mom found for $8 in Casa Grande, AZ). Jewels: pearl necklace (a vintage piece passed down from my Grandmother); David Yurman Bracelet. Sunnies: Marc by Marc Jacobs.

I made the brilliant decision this morning to wear shorts in 30 degree Michigan weather. The outfit was a hit, but I can’t wait to stand in front of a heater and thaw out.

October baseball

Jacket: TJ Maxx (a long time ago). Leopard Blouse: Love Culture (recent, as in last Sunday). Leather Pants I’ve been dying to wear for months!: BCBG (summer). Heels: Manolo Blahnik (Neiman Marcus Last Call). Bag: Melie Bianco (via Luxeyard). Jewelry: Michael Kors Watch; David Yurman Bracelet; Vintage Chanel.

Hello world, back to blogging! We snapped some quick pics before it got completely too dark, but Tuesday night was spent downtown in Detroit soaking up the infectious atmosphere of October baseball and the Detroit Tigers playing in the ALCS. Threw in a photo of last night’s first pitch for kicks. Go Tigers!!

 

fash bash

Dress: H&M (last seen here). Heels: Zara (recent, seen here). Clutch: Venice, Italy (4 years ago). Jewelry: Vintage 1920′s necklace (from Femme in Mobile, AL); David Yurman Bracelet; Claire’s costume rhinestone bracelet (originally purchased for a Madonna “Like a Virgin” costume, and amazed it was reused).

Fash Bash is an event not to be missed in Detroit. Hosted by the Founder’s Junior Council in collaboration with Neiman Marcus, it brings a scene straight out of fashion week in NYC to my favorite place in the world, The Detroit Institute of Arts. Internationally renowned for its incredible and extensive collection of art, seeing it like this at night is incredible. Humans painted as works of art and lounges around every corner, all designed to support a great cause (the D.I.A.), and it’s the perfect excuse to get dressed up and come out to see the most fashionable people of Detroit.

Top: Marshalls (recent). Skirt: Ann Taylor Loft (recent, and on sale!). Heels: Zara. Sunglasses: Armani Exchange. Jewelry: Raymond Weil Watch; vintage Chanel bracelet; David Yurman; Stella and Dot Cluster Ring.

Yes, the title of this is a Fifty Shades of Grey reference. I happen to spend my lunch breaks with my head buried in this series as of late. Spent the weekend visiting my college friends back in Alabama, and as much as my love for the Gulf Coast continues to grow, I can’t help but get lost in the beauty of Lake St. Clair. Home is absolutely where my heart is.

bell bottomed babe

Are we done yet??

Jacket: from a little shop on Royal St in New Orleans. Pants: Express via TJ Maxx (recent). Necklace: Ann Taylor Loft (old). Jewelry: Michael Kors Watch, David Yurman bracelet. Sunglasses: Steve Madden.

Ahoy there mateys! (I actually considered “Land Ho” as the title of this post, until I realized how grossly misconstrued yet humorous that could be taken, is that bad?!)

Anyways, I’m usually a skinny jeans/pants kind of girl, but this past week I’ve found myself picking out high-waisted, bell bottomed pants on more than one occasion. Maybe I’m just a 70′s child at heart, or more likely I am a fan of the way they make my 5’1″ frame suddenly appear several inches taller (a guy in the elevator finally realized the optical illusion of these babies when my five inch heels made a brief appearance from under the bottom cuffs). Either way, I think its a safe bet that I will be wearing a lot more of this style in the future.
