Out on a sunny day..

-Jacket: MNG by Mango, Shirt: Ego(Pakistan), Pants: from some shop in Thailand, Sandals: Steven by Steve Madden 

I realized pretty late that it was such a beautiful day outside so quickly threw this on and ran out. It's a pretty casual mix. Something that is very summery but the jacket was perfect for the slightly cold wind outside. The sandals are hot new buy and they add a nice touch of bright color (my fav shade of yellow/mustard mix) to the outfit.

On my wish List!!!

My favorite must have nail color in blue black by OPI. I think this would go perfectly with the fall styles but honestly I am excited by the versatility of the shade. I mean it certainly has the rockstar glam thing going on but it can easily translate into evening classic with a simple shift dress.

This is another piece that is great for the upcoming fall season but timeless with its classic lines and uber posh exterior. This one above is a Donna Karen clutch as seen on the runway in feb '09. I saw a similar one in Soho recently with a much more pocket friendly price tag but just the same style factor. 

Runway looks fall 2009

Alexander Wang's black bondage inspired goth glam oufits were alluring in their almost sinister appeal. I loved the lace up booties that went with them. Not to mention the soft black leather clutches that spelled cool.

Derek Lam's clean silhouettes and understated glamour was another collection that is very inspiring. I loved the heels in animal print with the straps all around. 

PhillipLim's french dandy is definitely a fashionista's dream come true.  For hair and makeup, I'm not big on styling my hair and keep it messy and product free. I think eyes as seen on the proenza show and the lipstick shade in Richard  Chai are the two things I might try on myself. Separately of course. 

Colors anyone?

Bill cunningham posted this little collage of spring colors for the New York Times. I find it to be very inspiring...

- I had this shirt in my closet for some time and was dying to wear it but it's been so cold these past weeks. Finally I wore it at home and got a few shots taken. I wanted my makeup to be more Goth but didn't have time ( or the patience really ). I initially was going to wear my converse shoes but decided to take it in a dressier direction with the heels. A bit more Oomph!

I recently bought these wedges and they have the cutest detailing on the sides but this is all we got since it was freezing outside. You can still see the tiny flowers on the bottom edge. 

SPRING bLOomS

  ZARA Spring Collection 2009. Could not resist these. They reminded me so much of the feel of walking barefoot on wet grass in the morning. I had made a solemn resolve to not buy flats anymore but these are perfect for a beautiful spring day spent at Central Park with a big floppy hat, cotton dress and a copy of a great classic. The fnesnfsinfesfmnisnjfiesnfisdnfidnfdi

Spring is around the corner and bright colors and florals are very much on my mind. I went hunting for both down 9th and 2 avenue which is my current favorite shopping hotspot. I found a couple of interesting items that I'll be posting soon. 

Sadly, I noticed a few of the shops are closing down due to the recession but some are re-locating to more affordable locations. 

Will be back with more updates and pictures; lots and lots of them.
