jump around

i don't know what it is but i am in love with the one piece...and not the kind of swimsuits found on woman. i am talking about the jumpsuit variety. lately i have been on the searh for an army inspired jumpsuit to go with my a pair of combat boats i thrifted. these two looks, one by kris van assche and one by diesel black gold, are two interpretations of the one piece jumpsuit that i love. one high fashion. one street. both have my heart...

sleek and right

i love the sixties. the motown grooves. the great dance moves. and most importantly the sleek and simple fashion. pringle of scotland's fall 2009 presentation definitely showed inspiration from this amazing decade. the streamlined suiting in grey matched with the cardigan as shirt is a good twist on a classic and i am love with the sienna sleeve detailing. the color is beautiful...

i am always one for black and white, but sometimes you need to add a little bit of color to make things pop. this outfit is actually my favorite to wear to work when i am selling clothes to the masses. i usually have my black vinyl gym bag with me as my main accessory and the deadstock vintage sunglasses just top this off perfectly....

on me: deadstock vintage sunglasses, italian check button up, black suspenders, and pale yellow slim slack from american apparel and black leather lace ups from aldo

late night acquisitions

after a crazy night, i often go online to check out some of my favorite clothing websites to see what is new and what possible additions i can make to my wardrobe. recently, a co-worker of mine added another great website to my list of favorites. oaknyc.com provides a good variety of styles and labels that very much fit my own personal tastes. these two pieces i am sure will become some of my most loved.....

under wraps

this is my favorite look from the kris van assche fall 2009 collection and definitely something i will be trying in the coming months. from the play on texture and volume and the great slouch boot, this piece, which was also his final look for the runway presentation, is an example of why i love fall fashions. it's all about the layers...

on me: urban outfitters cotton blazer with velvet collar, american apparel black cotton spandex harem pants, creme and black stripe big pocket tank, and black elastic, and united colors of benetton white leather gladiator sandals
