The Nauti Look

I apologize for the pun... it's just one of those days. It was too easy. So this outfit is entirely from Elite Repeats - I love it! It's sooo breezy and comfortable without me ending up looking like a slob. Lots of navy and white - even in the scarf which you can't see completely in the picture (b/c of my dumb phone.) My mom would be proud - everything matches. This is definitely gonna be a 90 degree staple - minus the sweater. Linen pants are awesome - the breezes go right through em and I catch myself checking to see if they are still there (being pantless in public would not be wise.)

Together at last

I'm obsessed.
Completely and utterly
obsessed.
its a problem.
rehab? you say?
maybe...
for my bank account.
Just look at this lovely: 

Kate Spade... damn you. She's done it again. Argh. And at only $225 I was thinking about getting 5 or 6 of these... ya know, because they are so affordable. I love this bag - if that's not obvious by now, well... go back to school. Now. I'm a huge photography buff and a purse-a-holic/purse whore - whichever one works for you. So here we are with my two huge passions - together at last. It's so beautiful it makes me cry... because she's too damn expensive. My plan is to fast for the next 365,382 days and maybe then I'll be able to afford her.

Till then... the obsession continues.

Contrast

So here is a combo that I adore - if you couldn't tell by how I loved Coco Chanel's house - Black and White. Its classic and I love the contrast. And for once my watch matches my outfit!

Coco Chanel and Color

Its so nice and warm here today! I hope its just as nice and warm where you are. I watched the movie Coco & Igor the other day. Very dramatic movie - that must be how the French like it. But it was interesting. One scene I really like was when one of Coco's guests in her homes says "Mademoiselle it seems you don't like color?" And Coco responds with "I like color, as long as its black" See most of her house is black and white in the movie. I love how they decorated it. If you have a chance definitely watch the movie - its on Netflix!

And now onto my outfit for the day:

(sorry I don't look like Coco Chanel, lol)

Surprise Sun

So today it was supposed to rain alll day. We've had a record breaking rainy - more like monsoon season here in Cleveland. So I was planning on rain - therefore wore layers. However it was 75 and mostly sunny !!!- we were very pleasantly surprised today. Still kinda swampy but it was nice to see that big thing in the sky - the sun? I was worried it was gonna pull a fast one on us and never come back. So here's my mostly black - with a splash of green outfit.

So I visited Old Navy this past weekend because I'm a sucker and they emailed me that "most" of the store would be $6 and under (!!!!, right?) . Well instead they put signs up that said 6 and under in small designated areas but didn't change the prices on the clothes... so it was a little confusing. But anywho, I picked up these black skinny jeans for yes - $6. Not sure I'm diggin them but maybe they will grow on me.

White Capris in the snow... I think not.

This is the outfit from my second Drawn Inspiration. I never would have put this together in my closet - running around trying to pair things, but in drawing my outfits I came up with it! How great is that!? I really like this outfit however - its snowing here - so I will not be wearing these lovely capris outside. But whats great is I can now wear this- or variations on this in the spring (it'll be here soon I swear!) /summer.
