Sleepless Gliding

Mixing different textures a lot this Fall.

Black & White Top- H&M

Mulder Platform - Jeffrey Campbell

Lace Cardigan- Forever 21

Since it's so cold in NY during the Fall/Winter, it's important to me to get creative if I'm going to be wearing a thousand layers a day. Hence, on any given day...you'll find me mixing and matching completely different textures as my layers and this way I don't get bored of wearing the same ol' look over and over again.

For this post, I went a tad bit crazy and mixed both prints and textures for a fun monochromatic look. The top I'm wearing is one that I absolutely adore because of the cracked effect within the print that slightly reminds me of the Balenciaga AW 13 collection. I'm not sure why I did but, I made the choice of pairing the top with black and white plaid pants which I thought at first would have been too much but experimenting to me is always a good thing, because now I absolutely love the two together.

To finish off the look I threw on my floor length lace cardigan as an addition to introduce a different texture and of course, I had to break in my oversized neoprene jacket that I purchased at the beginning of the Summer and was dying for it to be  old enough so I could start wearing it (ps. I miss the Summer now). Let me know in the comments below what you think of this look!

Unrequited Love

Casual Fridays.

Peasant Top- Vintage 

Lace Blouse- Express

Boots- Coltrane by Jeffrey Campbell

Necklace- Nasty Gal

It's funny how I've been finding all these lost treasure in my closet since packing everything up to move out of my current apartment, for example this vintage peasant top that I've had for so long but somehow reappeared one day. I love tops like these because there is something so delicate and feminine about it that makes it so perfect for experimenting with. I could see myself dressing up this top for maybe a date, dinner or a night out with friends likewise, it's that piece that can easily transition into a daytime look. 

Since I've been so obsessed with wearing lace lately, I thought that wearing this buttoned up lace top from Express as like a short sleeve cardigan would add so much more depth and detail to this look and it light enough for a hot summer's day...definitely going to be wearing this black lace top a lot this summer. I kept it pretty casual with my favourite pair of chunky boots and ankled length pants because I somehow always pull for boots when all else fails!
