Jacket: Zara. Dress: Thrift. Hat: Trash & Vaudeville. Shades: Ray Ban. Boots: All Saints. Bag: Balenciaga. Cardi: Forever21. Lipstick: Show Orchid by MAC
This was me last week. If you bumped into me in the streets there's a 50/50 chance I'm wearing some variation of the above.
It's my easy dress, the go to, it's the WTF I'll wear it again - it's comfortable.
It's shitty out in NY so I'm not doing any rain shots till it clears up and I get to try this Morrocan Hair Oil that I bought. Friends/hair stylists/reviews whisper that it's the best thing ever to stop frizz.
It better be the dog's bollocks...

  1. Uber jealous over your Balenciaga (and such a beautiful neutral shade as well) but glad to see I'm not the only one who love a maxi (I think it's timeless).

    That said, I usually stick to them in Summer...perhaps I should pop 'em out with boots for Spring?

  2. I know, the rain is driving me nuts. I've been wearing black dresses to match my mood.

    Be careful with the Moroccan Oil. I had some sort of reaction to it.

  35. Deconstruction - don't get me scared!! seriously though thx for the warning.

    Lucy - really? ha! nice isn't it?

    Daria - thats YOUR weakness ; ) Broke back must have killer thrift stuff from pple thinking their long dresses are dated.

    Stefanie - the colour is called Sandstone. It came out in 2007.

    Unravelled T - I BET there's a lippie that suits you. There's too many (good) shades out now. Even tints?

    Ellie Jane - we share the obssession.


    Thx guys. I'll let you know when I've tried the Morrocan Oil!!!
