Are u crazy about snow as much as i am? ;) This is how my neighborhood looks like during the winter and  sometimes i have feeling that i live on the mountain. Would you believe me if i told you that one of my neighbors literally skis near my building?! It is funny, but i like his enthusiasm!
Anyway, how chic you can be on this weather? Layers is what we need. I was wearing my new dress ( i will show you some other time how it looks like) , cardigan, skinny belt and leopard woolen coat with this gorgeous hat from Stradivarius ( im so passionate about them).
Thanks to Jovana Tomasevic again, she made it looks like some winter fairy tale! ;)
Hope you like it!

Mustard and Plaid

I like my plaid like I like my hot dogs; with lots o’ mustard:

Not that the plaid itself has lots of mustard.  It doesn’t; it only has a thin yellow line, but I took that thin yellow line and ran with it.  As I do.

I paired the not-much-mustard plaid skirt (thrifted) with a mustard cashmere sweater (men’s, thrifted) and mustard tights (Hue via Macys).  I added riding boots (Born Crown “Sosie” via Nordstrom), a thin belt (Gap) and a blue, vintage cameo.  The cameo is inscribed on the back “Dick Puckett 1958” and I got it at a garage sale for five dollars, I think.  I wore it because I thought it helped to tie the sweater and skirt together a bit more; and also because it’s awesome.

Also awesome?  The fact that Thursday’s are for Thrifters and Meagan over at Spunky Chateau is continuing her link party.  Once again, much of my outfit is thrifted (or garage-saled) so I’m definitely linking up.

Happy Thursday, All!

If you follow theblondesalad.com then you probably heard about MSGM brand. Their first collection was for SS 2010, and from that point they have become really special brand. Designer of MSGM Massimo Giorgetti has a strong passion about indie music and contemporary art and he is showing that through their collections. His skills for mix and match are almost magical!
After i saw this new collection for AW 2012/13, i was more than thrilled and i needed to share it with you so i immediately made this "collages" from their lookbook. Floral and geometrical patterns mixed with girly cuts which are spiced up with some neon details. Gloves made half from leather and half from floral fabric, how genius is that? I will admit, im totally in love with this collection! Do you like it?

Cobalt & Citrus

A lot of bloggers have been craving pastels lately, but I’m not a fan of pastels (you may have read about my war on mint green).  What I’ve been craving are brights.  I gave into that craving today:

I also gave into my craving to pair brights with other brights.  Specifically, I paired cobalt with various citrus hues.   For the cobalt, I wore an open cardigan (Calvin Klein via Ideeli) and leopard flats (Nine West “Naughty”).  For the citrus, I wore a lime-striped tee (Old Navy) and a lemon yellow scarf (Old Navy) dotted with bits of lime and orange.  I grounded the whole look with gray skinnies (Gap).

It’s not the most leg-lengthening look, but it definitely satisfied my craving for bright colors.

Happy Wednesday, All!

Fade to Black

This outfit has lots of dots:

But, in my opinion, that’s not the interesting part; the interesting part is how it fades to black:

From top to bottom, I’m wearing navy, darker navy and finally black.  And the dots go from big dots, to smaller dots to no dots.  Did I just blow your mind?  I know.  Take a minute to recover and we’ll talk further.

You probably noticed that I don’t wear a lot of conceptual clothing.  I think about what to wear, but I don’t think about it.  But, today I did and I have to tell you that it thrills my nerdy little soul to no end to be wearing a concept as well as an outfit.  I’m not saying I’m going to do it all the time, but I think maybe I’ll try it again some time.  It really was a fun experiment.

Happy Tuesday, All!

Fuzzy Wuzzy Was a Sweater

You can’t really tell from the pictures, but this sweater is fairly fuzzy (wuzzy):

It’s also stripe-y and dolman-sleeved and multi-colored, all of which makes it perfect for me.  Although I think the multi-colored stripes can be paired with a lot of different colors, I kept it simple (obvious?) today.  I layered the sweater (thrifted) over a grey dress (vintage, thrifted) and teal tights.  I added a studded belt (Michael Michael Kors via Nordstrom), riding boots (Born Crown “Sosie” via Nordstrom) and assorted bracelets, watches and bangles (thrifted, gifted and Macy’s).

Happy Monday, All!
