Fur and more fur, it's the only thing on my mind as of late! I'm always cold, so I love the feeling of being cozy. My feelings on real fur are somewhat impartial, I would never have a coat custom made for myself, nor buy myself new fur, but vintage fur (and my mom's mink) are acceptable to me. Either way, feel free to share your thoughts on fur, real or fake.

I stumbled upon this while looking for exercise videos on Youtube. This video struck a personal note with me because of my troubled past with eating disorders. I will not bore you with details, all that matters now is that I try to stay in shape by eating right and exercising. As avid fashion followers, we are exposed to retouching every day. In my opinion, I feel that we need to be more aware of the fact that photoshop is extremely common among magazines and throughout the internet, and that kind of perfection is simply not achievable. I embrace the "flaws" about my body because they make me different, and I think it's time that more females do the same.

I know this post veers from the main subject of my blog, but I thought it was worth sharing. Feel free to add your input!

Oh, Lola

Obsessed with Lola by Marc Jacobs.

I honestly swear I am going to start posting regularly, this is getting out of hand. Especially since my mind is overflowing with creativity and I haven't had an outlet for any of it. Ugh!
my life in simple terms:

+ work - school
+ boyfriend - money
+ new phone - living at home
+ friends - best friend moving to Florida
I really feel like my style is evolving into something much more mature, where I can envision what I need & don't need, things I want and things I could do without. My wardrobe is starting to blend seamlessly and I have invested in some great classic pieces lately. Like this new bag I bought from Henri Bendel...

I absolutely adore it! I also bought the cutest black flats from Juicy Couture (they have studs on the heel!) and a Juicy Couture trenchcoat. Like I said in a previous post, I have a love/hate relationship with Juicy (lately it's a lot of love though!).

Continuing my current obsession with all things leopard, I bought this blouse from LF while visiting my best friend in Boca. It is by Millau, which the salesgirl told me is a French company. I've tried to find information about them and somewhere to shop online, but it seems to be near impossible. As you can see, it's pretty versatile. I've worn it several times already, most recently tucked into a black leather Silence & Noise skirt with a zipper on the front from Urban Outfitters. It's my favorite shirt of the moment. I'd love to find it in other colors and patterns, so if anyone has any information on Millau, let me know!
