you gotta lose your mind

i may now be back living in a new midwest zip code but i still love me a dishevelly-chic downtown look... VERY detroit rock city! i ain't ashamed to admit my plans to totally going to crib this exact look right down to that amazing metal belt from mango!

time to trust my instincts

a few things i'm loving lately:

• Alice + Olivia's mismatched striped suit for Fall 2012
• Abstract floral print nails at Calla Fall 2012
• Reverse colored ombre hair as seen in Luv AJ's new style book

yellow diamonds in the light

i am completely dying over this so-wrong-it's-right street style look... i mean, pulling off a concert tee, a sequined skirt, bow heels AND a multi-color fur?!?! slow clap!

everything is open

"Glamour Girl – Isabelle N evokes the 1920′s style of Nancy Cunard and other figures in Alexander Dahl’s hauntingly beautiful images. Swathed in a wardrobe of long coats and heavy knits styled by Josef Forselius, Isabelle shines in the ethereal, outdoor images. Retro inspired finger waves and glittering eye makeup by Tony Lundström perfect the romantic ensemble."

that eye makeup is siiiicckkk!

ain't nobody dope as me

really feeling cool minty hues at the moment... so versatile and fresh and easy to lady-fy with creams and nudes or add some edge with black... i have an amazing new pair of oak denim/leather jeans that i am dying to pair with the zara blouse in the third image...

rest your head on me my dear

got this sweet little treat from a dear friend of mine last week... i love being that sap that wears her man's name... very old school romantic, no?

and this woman was singin my song

i got my dream guy now i'm currently conjuring up my dream valentine's day date night ensemble... how amazing is this neon pink mcq dress? i'm usually not such a fan of the girly hue, but the ribbed jersey is probably crazy flattering and soft... and adding in the tougher accessories definitely brings it up to my speed... p.s.: that sweet "dude" ear cuff? only $18 at asos!

do know what i say is true

behold! the new jimmy choo rika croc-effect leather coffee cup sleeve! yours for a mere $165!!! yes, yes you heard that right- a jimmy choo... coffee sleeve... for one hundred and sixty five dollars... ummmm... riiiiigggghhhhhttttt...

and the rosebuds know to bloom in early may

my favorite looks from the upcoming jason wu for target collection... the blouses look spring-tastic and i'm really hoping those adorable sheer socks are available too... styles hit store floors february 5th! woot woot!

just like the spark

so very into this look on nicole richie... it's got a sorta laid back femme c3po vibe, no? in related news... also quite curious to see her new show "fashion star" which also features elle macpherson and jessica simpson... will it be a trainwreck? or my new guilty obsession?

shows me colors when there's none to see

just getting settled back into the ol' grind after a most wonderful holiday vacation! happy 2012 everyone!
