Thematic Dressing::Monochromatic Friday...

{pink-orange-red(yes red is wearing a dress)-green-purple-white-gray-black}

I'm fortunate to work at a place where most everyone is on board for a juvenile yet entertaining time. One of the sets last week dubbed it, "monochromatic" Friday. Just for this particular day, stylists, art directors, models, photographers, techs, hair and make up artists all shuffled into the office jumping off bikes, climbing out of buses/shuttles in head to toe color. Of course, no day at work is complete without an impromptu photo shoot between Jacob and me. So below you will find our narcissistic documentation!

I must confess, I was not properly informed of the thematic dressing until I arrived at work so some arrangements had to be made. The jacket is actually Jacob's, the bag I borrowed from set, and the shoes are Christian Louboutins from our styling closet that I stumbled around in awkwardly.

Is he not the cutest?! And those lobster clad converse--super smart!

Themes are becoming a trend at work so stay tuned for more wardrobe chronicles.

He Can Sit On a Tack...

I would stand all day if it meant these could be mine. Oh to dream...or DIY?!

Welcome Home...

Typically I stick to all things fashion-related here, but I came across images of perfect home decor and can't stop thinking about them. Before we dive in, I should bring to your attention that I've lived in the same apt for almost two years and still lack a coffee table! Now that we have that confession out of the way lets move on...If/when I own a place in the city, this will be the inspiration.

Maybe I'm still stuck on the neon trend, but who wouldn't want an electric front door...would my roommates be mad if I did this to ours?!

Not that I'll ever own a place with this kind of space, but the idea of having a banquet inspired table, neon stools included, just tickles my fancy. I LOVE to cook and having this much room to have everyone over to break bread is what I dream of...for now I'll continue to host and my friends can eat my culinary couture with their plates in their laps!

I think this is absolutely hilarious.

Here it is, the fashion part of this post. McQueen knuckleduster clutch perched on a shelf between classic literature. Kind of genius--just like McQueen!

The creme de la creme!! A crystal & sconce basketball backboard. If I ever have exposed brick in my bedroom this, without a doubt, will be my headboard...or an eye-catching display in my living room. Gorgeous beyond belief--want it, need it, gotta have it!

Elliott vs Marant...

As I begin the count down to spring/summer you'll have to bare with me as I sort through racks, images, and tear sheets of inspiration. Don't get crazy, my look doesn't change that much, but as always, needs a little pick me up to kick things off. The first addition on the list is a pair of camel leopard jeans. I have been comparing the Current Elliott stiletto leopard jeans against the Isabel Marant Etoile wabi jeans and this is what I've found...

Kinda of major and exactly what I want to be wearing with oversized sheer button downs and/or neon poc (pops of color...come on people)! Just when I thought I made my final decision, I spotted a similar pair at the affordable $22 price point, wait for it... at TARGET!

Can't wait for these little beauties to arrive.

Strictly Fitted...

I wear quite a few hats in my life, and as of late it has been a fitted cap...Yankees of course! Back in October I posted a few bloggers, editors, and myself sporting baseball caps {view post here} and the trend seems to have stepped out of the on-deck position. With NY fashion week wrapped, there are a school of photos popping up with ball cap clad editors and fashionistas.

Oh yeah, and there I am sporting my coveted NY cap back in October (ahhh warmer days when sheer dresses lived in my wardrobe on a daily basis).

I am really getting used to incorporating more sportswear into my repertoire...baseball caps, and letterman's, and sneakers, YES PLEASE!

Decisions...Decisions...

If you've been following my blog for a while, I know how sick you are of hearing about my deep rooted affection for all sneakers a la Isabel Marant... one of the best purchases I have made that literally has changed my life and personal style. Some of you might want to cover your ears because I'm about to go on another rant.

I thought I was satisfied with my purchase back in August, I bit the bullet and treated myself, but that is not the case! The purchase has me foaming at the mouth like a ravenous dog for more colorful wedge high tops (I can see it now, a closet full of wedge sneakers without a red soled Louboutin in sight...ahhh to dream)! So this is the crossroads I've come to. When I complete the adoption papers--which baby am I bringing home?!

Totally torn between two lovers...HELP!

Girl, You Be Killin 'Em...

This ensemble was snapped by All the Pretty Birds and has my name written all over it...of course my interpretation would replace the heels with wedge sneakers, obvi. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I dubbed this look sporty chic so we'll just proclaim "girl brought style to the game!"

Expect to see this recreated time and time again.

Happy fashion week(end)!

Good Girl Gone Bad Gone Blond...

No way I could let the hype behind Rihanna's new shade pass by without a blog post. To me, the Barbados beauty can do no wrong. I'm LOVING her blond locks (read jealous).

What do you think of her new look?!
