SS:7

bundle-up-this-season-its-all-about-the-fur
welcome to the first of many SS:7’s! 
what is SS:7 you ask? simple: its 7 street style images that are inspiring to my taste or as coincidence has it have similar characteristics in my wardrobe. don’t get me wrong, I love perusing sites like Vogue that showcase designer, runway and couture looks but this just isn’t as practical to my closet as it “live” on the street. even seeing models and bloggers wearing high ticket priced items seems more real to me then seeing it in editorial shots which is why I gravitate towards photos of outfits styled and being worn on the daily.

(none of these photos are taken by me, used for blog purposes only & found on Pinterest!)

many things in these 7 photos are currently circulating my wardrobe, ie the CAPE. a girl friend of mine-that shares my same name-gave me a cape jacket recently and I’ve already put it to good use. (outfit pictures to follow!)
next is the tomboy look, which lots of ladies are gravitating towards these days. I particularly like this look because it allows me to do my usual casual thing and still remain chic. large scarfs, ankle boots and fur collars have all been staples in my winter wear. having become better than ever at layering I’m looking forward to shedding the heavy layers and experimenting with layering in the Spring.
truth be told I’ve tried a few times since the “birth” of my blog to offer a reoccurring themed post and this time I’m going to do it, I can feel it! especially since I’m already crazily pinning and saving street style images….may as well put a habit to use!

enjoy your weekend and don’t forget to revisit come Tuesday for my cape debut!

Flashy and the Fox

eav_fox
visited EAV for a block party and artist market this past weekend with my man and some friends. while we were in the neighborhood we stopped by the village’s newest restaurant and bar, Argosy, which is BEAUTIFUL and pretty darn roomy. aaaand of course we had to stop and snap some photos by the larger than life FOX on the side of Argosy’s building!

my outfit is made of a few new pieces but mostly throwback to college and believe it or not HIGH SCHOOL days! back when I’d go into Georgetown, DC to do some shopping I’d stop by the Wetseal there as it was a “trend setter location” and had pieces other locations didn’t. this is where I got my hoodie and handbag, both are still going strong! I’d be willing to bet I’m not the only lady still holding onto inexpensive clothing items that still “work” in current times, though I’ve been on a purging kick and have gotten rid of so much stuff.

happy mid-week!

CABBAGETOWN

one thing I’ve learned about living here for the past 3 years: ATLANTA LOVES BRUNCH!
my friends and I have tried nearly every spot and narrowed down our favs we visit regularly, one of which is Carroll Street Cafe on…you guessed it, Carroll St. cute atmosphere and super YUMMY Belgian waffles its a great spot for brunch as well as a great dinner menu with tapas and delish cocktails.

other brunch favorites include: Ria’s Bluebird, Rise and Dine, Homegrown, Midway and Java Jive!

the honey and I snapped our outfits on a particularly sunny yet still bitter day last weekend around the streets of Cabbagetown.

can’t wait for days when the sun is not so rare which hopefully will be the case in April when I visit Hawaii with my lady Stephanie. currently on the hunt for swimsuits via Victoria Secret, Target (always has the best for cheap!) and frequently visiting Shop Style for new ideas.

happy mid-week!

the dress

vday1
this is a FLASHBACK post to Valentines Day when I wore my very special ASOS dress that Ryan surprised me with for Christmas. Saving it for the right occasion I had tucked it away in my closet. figured the day of celebrating love and doing so with a fancy date night was perfect timing! I wanted the dress to do all the ‘talking’ so I went out and bought nude tights, which I had never everrrrr worn before. wasn’t all that bad especially since it gave my ghost legs some color! (ladies: CVS-2 pairs for $6!)

I really like that my boyfriend has great taste because I never would have gone for a dress like this on my own. let me clarify…I wouldn’t go for a dress like this due to the shape, or rather my shape. I don’t care for bandage/pencil styles because I’m self conscious about my hips but with the peplum it isn’t an issue! thanks to my fashion forward sweety I’ve now discovered a new style I can rock with confidence!

outfit details: Asos dress, Clothing Warehouse sunnies, Zatchels bag, Eric Michael wedge booties 
enjoy the last bit of February but I’m sure you’re just as excited for this flu + rainy month to end and Spring to begin!

NYFW13

as always street style is always my favorite part about New York fashion week and this round didn’t disappoint even though attendees had to deal with a BLIZZARD they still sported fabulous threads on the streets in between shows. I scoured through sites such as Harpers Bazaar, Elle, Calivintage, Free People, Vogue and Refinery 29 and collected my favorites from last week.

my favorite trend: the FUR! being the cold natured lady I am, I would have totally been wrapped up from head to toe! even though the fashionistas had to layer in warm garments they still added bold and bright colors like Hanneli’s neon green jacket. if I end up making it to a fashion week I’ll have to be sure to go when I won’t freeze my bum off!
happy hump day!
