Feeling Regal

I have been waiting to wear this coat again.  I was a vintage-shopping maniac over the Summer and one of my stellar finds was this coat.  I debuted it first on my birthday.  It was my special day so I had to wear my new favorite vintage find, of course.  But as it was nearly June, it wasn't really the time for wool.  But now - Now is quite the time.  

Hit it!


On Sunday, I wore this faaaabulous coat as a dress.  It made me feel untouchable!  Now that I look at it, I think it's really the only way to wear it, yes?  I like this ensemble much better than the first time I wore it.  What would you say?




Needing a pick me up Saturday night, I finally got rid of the remaining wedding polish and got back to my usual mani habit.  Purple and yellow are always my go-to.  This time I got frosty with it.  I will update this post as soon as I find out what color I'm actually wearing... Way to drop the ball, I know.

I found this awesome cage ring over the weekend while fluttering through H&M.  I've pretty much always bought my jewelry from Forever21 or H&M.  I'm slowly evolving out of my accessories complex (being the minimalist that I am) but for years, I just never fancied little things clinging to me so I've never been interested in paying more than $15 for rings and bracelets and the like.  But with the fashion jewelry scene really becoming amazingly imaginative and cool, I can't deny issues.  I am starting to plan some investments in various pieces.  Can't wait to share that!

Christian Bale and Tomato Sauce

Had to run to Blockbuster to pick up a new movie to watch with my guy tonight.  I've never seen Equilibrium but pretty much any film that takes place in post-apocalyptic times is fashion eye candy!  Plus Christian Bale AND Taye Diggs?  Say no more.  I was also running low on tomato sauce which is a serious code red because there is ALWAYS at least one day  out of the week that I crave spaghetti and have to have it.


So back to post-apocalyptic fashion - For me, my favorite fashion decade is this one.  Minimalist modern sets, uniform-like tops and bottoms and not to mention, every shade of gray imaginable - love it.  Its the ABCs of me!  Since this style is seen more commonly in high end fashion: Thakoon, Philip Lim, Alexander Wang, Yamamoto, etc its difficult for me to wear the style exactly the way I want to but I am learning how to slowly turn my closet around...


With these ill-timed errands, I took this chance to create a more casual remix of my outfit from Friday night.








This time I paired my poncho and wool swing coat with a simple pair of leggings and thick sturdy leather heels.   This Asos poncho has an enormous funnel neck about 3 feet long.  When worn, it falls beautifully and looks more like a loose scarf.  It makes an otherwise casual drab jersey poncho look actually a little dressy.
