turn around.

eagle ring c/o beginning boutique, zara blouse, bebe gifted jeans, steven boots

was gifted this double finger ring.  don't own a lot of silver anymore but thought this zara top, a black stand in for my scf drifter blouse would go well with this statement peice.  i had gotten over the delicate birds and feathers deal so this more bold kind was a pleasant surprise.  

found this pretty street in the town where i live.  all the houses look right into the bay and the sidewalk was lined on both sides with white rose trees (?)  it was so hot today and i'm really hoping this is the last of summer.  i believe last summer went all the way to november.  hoping not again, found this penfield, providence hat on this (uk based) site.  the red check is adorable, just bought a sherpa lined denim jacket that it would look so cute with.      

pretty basic.

zara top, vintage levi's cut-offs, steven boots, h&m sunnies, bag & bangle

it should be pretty evident by now that i love the color cream and suede booties.  in my color-coordinated closet, the cream section is the largest and i now have two of each color in suede booties.  really can't have/wear enough!  

i think i'll be wearing this outfit out this weekend.  it's been warm this week but i think this is the last of our summer.  sad to see all my shorts put away - although tights always help to keep them around but i'm really excited this fall/winter in particular for outerwear.  the ryder, honour trench and the brigade Barbour jackets here on this (uk based) site need to be in my closet.    

astoria.

astoria necklace c/o jewelmint, h&m dress, sunglases & bag, steven boots

really into this 60's style necklace from jewelmint, love it with my new shift dress.  i just bought a sweatshirt that i can't wait to wear it with either.  until october 31, use the promo code BOCT50 for 50% off your first purchase!!      

go gadget, go.

boots c/o naughty monkey, f21 coat, zara blouse, yaya shorts

was so excited when i was contacted by naughty monkey and was offered a pair shoes.  of course i picked these, the gadgets - sold here.  comfy, suede and incredibly cute with shorts and silhouettes like this; my criteria for boots this fall.  stay tuned...you can win a pair :)  

things i still want.

random picks that make a really cute outfit together.  and it also includes my current favorite color combo of burgandy and blush.  i guess it was all a subconscious thing.  these are more free flowing pieces as opposed to the structured basics i've been really into lately.  my intent was to pair and balance one of these pieces with said structured and basics.  for example the Vivienne Westwood Anglomania leather jacket with a cream shift dress and these rag and bone boots.  Vivienne Westwood Anglomania, like these pieces have that rockabilly, free flowing draped on look that is always the perfect balance for structure.  *actually just received the cream blouse on monday...so in love with it, it's a stand-in for my silk stone cold fox drifter blouse.

schooled.

zara cardigan, h&m blouse, f21 leather shorts, asos boots, vintage gucci clutch

trying to beat the sun, we had to go to the closest location which happened to be a school.  i guess it goes well with this outfit.  blush and burgandy is my favorite color combo at the moment.  and of course a little bit of leather is the perfect balance for this "smart" look.  my closet needs a little more basic knits and these designer knits by glass and oval would fit perfectly.
