Hello, Lovah

And no, I'm not saying hello to you (although I do love you all so very much) I'm talking about my fabulous new pair of shoes, duh. Remember wayyyyy back when, when I told you all that I just adore gloating over a fabulous deal, well here I go again. I've been on the hunt for those to-die-for Theyskens' Theory pointy toe wedge pumps AND I finally got me a pair on Gilt for...wait for it...wait for it...$200! Haha, what do you say to that? Pays off to wait, huh. Okay, okay on to the shoes...

 Cape: Zara Blouse: Equipment Pants: Topshop Shoes: Theyskens' Theory Bracelet: Bijoux

Are you in love, come on I know you are. Let me just explain very quickly why I had to have these bad-ass pieces of foot candy. Simplicity. There, that's my explanation. Simple enough to be dressed down with a pair of jeans and a rad flannel shirt or dressed up with a super chic dress for a night out! What more could I ask for (nothing!)

Long Overdue...

This post is so long overdue...oh, Style Sidewalk how I've missed you! And I'm so sure, how you've all missed MOI! No need for me to explain for the zillionth time about how busy I have been between being a real person in the working world and keeping up with Bijoux. So, I won't explain, but I kind of did. Oops. 
Moving on, my love of leopard continues in today's post (what's new), but today it is in the form of a super rad pencil skirt. Pencil skirt, that's so BORING, say YOU, but allow me to prove YOU wrong. Pair said pencil skirt with a ridiculously holy holey t-shirt and some Frankenstein boots, as my dear old Daddy calls them, and voila, boring no more.

 Tee: See by Chloe Skirt: J.Crew Shoes: Sam Edelman Cuff: Dannijo

While I wouldn't exactly equate these wanna-be, but albeit, bad ass knock off Balenciaga Sam Edelman's to Frankenstein boots, they do make me abnormally tall. Amazon tall, if you will. Just ask my boyfriend, he'll vouch for me, especially considering I received the coveted "face of disgust" from him once he saw me. SCORE!

Not too shabby, huh? I clean up well... Well, I clean up well in the morning, by the time I get home I usually look like this... Sue me!

I'll keep it short and sweet today - I'm off to set up for Bijoux's first partay tomorrow!

Work Week Warrior

Yes, that's me. Your very own work week warrior - go me, for making it out of my first week alive! Okay, I'm exaggerating I'm actually in L-O-V-E with my place of work and I couldn't be happier. So there (I'm sticking out my tongue), to all you negative Nancys out there who loathe working. I know I kinda, sorta promised a photo journal of my work outfits but it has been crazy busy so today I am presenting my Thursday outfit. Better late than never, right? RIGHT?

 Tee: Vince Pants: Zara Shoes: Zara Necklace: Aqua

 I'm obsessed with these shoes. Snakeskin down the back and to the heel, suede around the bottom, nude/beige patent leather at the top and they are topped off with adorable leather tassels. Oh, did I mention that they're cut out on the side as well? Pret-ty rad - run, DO NOT WALK, to go pick up these shoes are your closest Zara OR get them online. You're welcome.

Bracelets: Bijoux Bracelets

Okay, I need to talk about the newest Bijoux arm candy. Aside from that bad ass teal green color of the bead, the neon beads were handcrafted and painted AND imported from Thailand. SO. AWESOME. Throw some skulls into the mix and some crystal blingy bling and you're good to go.

Off to planning my work wardrobe for this week - I promise I'll be better.

The Life...

PLEASE pardon my lack of posts. I know it's only day three of having a real job, but dude, I'm exhausted! I've been totally guilty over kind of abandoning my blog, but between work and trying to keep up with all things Bijoux, I don't know where the time goes! I originally had this super rad idea to post a daily photo diary of my work outfits for my first week. Why? Well, not only because I am your favorite fashion inspiration (ok, I'm kidding) but really, it's because I thought it might be helpful to all of you new workers out there as well. We all know how important first impressions are and what better way than to dress to impress for an entire week! Okay, well I guess I dress to impress (myself) everyday but, whatever. Now, before we get to Day Three outfit, please keep in mind I look way more normal in the morning than at 8:00 at night. With that said, here we go!

 Cardi: J.Crew Blouse: Equipment Skirt: Zac Posen Flats: Chanel Bag: Celine Bracelet: Juicy Couture

While still somewhat conservative, I managed to add my own personal style to this outfit which is pretty rad. I wish this damn humidity would just GO AWAY because my hair looked great before I left my house this morning. Major bummer seeing myself in the mirror once I arrived at work.
PS. I'm super obsessed with this skirt. It's a mix between a denim and twill and it oddly turned out to be an awesome combo. Add the great floral print and detailed waistband, and I'd pretty much call it perfection. 

Stay tuned for tomorrow's Day Four outfit, I promise it'll be exciting!

Bittersweet Goodbye

Tomorrow is Friday (Friday, Friday, gotta get down....), I'm feeling a little bittersweet about this week ending. Why, you ask? Well come Monday, I can kiss my care free summer into fall days goodbye because I will become a real person. I mean, yes I'm real, I exist, but real as in J-O-B real. Now, that's what I call real! Since I was feeling a bit moody today, I had to dress the part (kind of). I recently picked up this adorable little Anna Sui dress that, of course, is done in one of her ah-maze prints in moody blues and purples with metallic threading throughout. I felt it matched my mood...

 Vest: Club Monaco Dress: Anna Sui Booties: Sam Edelman

Well, well, well, look who it is...my infamous Club Monaco vest!!! Did you guys miss it?! I sure did..

I'm pretty sure my mood(iness) can be thoroughly seen in my face throughout all of these pictures, wouldn't you agree? 

Also, please note that the adorable little munchkin in the portrait behind my head is none other than myself (clearly, I've always been fashionable). Also note, my face. Not even a trace of a smile...moody. I guess I never grew out of it.

Let me just say that I adore this dress because the print and silhouette were made for me, seriously. The dress is the lovechild of preggo style dress and tent like dress (the two never married, it just wasn't accepted). See, told ya it was made for me! The print, on the other hand, is just a product of Sui's amazing brain. Wish my brain could come up with bad ass prints like that. 

Bracelets: Bijoux Bracelets

And of course, the newest additions to my ever growing arm candy collection.

Black & White All Over Part Two

Yet another black and white post...what can I say, I have a thing for that classic color combo. I love it until it looks like I'm about to take your order when I go out to dinner with friends, then I kind of hate it. I guess you could call it a love/hate relationship then? I digress (as usual).

New York is in full bitch mode, I mean change of season mode, where one day it's hot and I'm chin-chillen at the beach and the next day I'm wearing a trench coat, freezing in the pouring rain. NOR-MAL. I've tried to keep things simple, pack layers and grin and bear it until I can confidently retire my summer wardrobe (tear). Now, on to today's look...

Tee: Vince Pants: Topshop Shoes: Bottega Veneta  Necklace: J.Crew

Let me tell YOU something...no matter how bad my boyfriend makes fun of me, I still love me a good pair of harems. Nothing like a diaper butt in the name of fashion, I tell ya.

Well here's a more normal shot. The pants are the perfect weight for this type of damp, chilly kind of warm at the same time weather. I had my trusty Club Monaco vest on before BUT, I thought you guys might be tired of seeing it considering I wear it with practically everything.

Cuffs: Black House White Market, Dannijo  Beaded Bracelets: Bijoux Bracelets

H-E-L-L-O arm candy, don't mind if I do! My staple cuffs have not failed me once and literally are the perfect arm candy additions. Oh wait, there is something perhaps more perfect than those cuffs... my Bijoux Bracelets (cough self plug cough cough). Clicky Clicky on the linky and let's be friends (Facebook friends, that is) and check out my rad line of bracelets. You might fall in love. You also might become ridiculously obsessed with weighing down your arm with an abnormal amount of arm candy. As long as you look like a total bad ass (which you will) then who cares. 

Until tomorrow sweet readers, I say farewell.

NYFW Shots

 Green. Reptile Print. All. Over. Hello, are you loving this monochromatic/reptile head to toe look as much as I am.

Leather with leather accessories will never get old. I'm loving the neutral and light colors in this look and find it refreshing as compared to the normal black on black, leather with leather look.
