Opposite ends



Heels are over rated (sometimes)....





Jacket: Juicy Couture. Top: Vintage (found this graphic version and this all black one).  Trousers: Mng by Mango.  Bag: Forever 21.  Flats: Valentino Shades: Ray Ban

I don't wear all black that much. If you want to, try mixing different textures (I'm lazy so for me that means putting on something beaded).

I like that this bag isn't black but a charcoal grey.  It's probably my favourite inexpensive ones. Still can't believe it's Forever 21. On the other end of the credit card spectrum - the shoes. The shooooooeeees!!! Really. Not taking them off. 

ps. I dyed my hair a little lighter.  You can sort of see in the 2nd pic.

  2. I love this outfit. Superb. You say sometimes heels are overrated, and the shoes in this post have the appeal of heels. Love it!

  3. I could not agree more, especially now that winter is around the way, I just don't know about stomping through these NY streets in 4 inches. Love the all black ensemble btw, the beading on the shirt is fab!

  5. The shoes are too cute. But I wear size 11 and the pointed toe on my foot is unflattering. I'll end up looking like big foot.

  18. What I love here is the big shoulder with the jacket compared to the slim fit of everything else. It almost gives you a matador look, they always have the tiniest waists and butts.

    Also the beaded top is lovely. :)
