deft leopard

there's nothing about this coat i don't love. seriously. everything on it just goes together so so perfectly. and so deftly. from the yellow lace peeking through to the black leather gloves and little cap too. makes me want to copy it so. like, from head to toe. and that pinky-beige eye makeup? gonna attempt and try that as well. yuppity yup. photo: now fashion

pineapple express

this entire week, i've decided i'm going to be posting and blogging about all things coated and furry. i love the luxe and wintry warmth that they exude, and the major sartorial style points, too. but i prefer vintage or faux. just so you know. and if it's got a big old embroidered pineapple on its back, well then, i'm pretty much gonna love it ... yeah.  photo: vogue

warm + function

guys. i can't. i can't. i can't even handle the coat in this pic and image. can't. even. handle. it. from the stripes to the big ol' brooch to the clutch o' blue that she happens to be holding on to. could anything in this sartorially-loving life of mine ever compare to this vintage-y looking fare so perfect, oh so divine? don't think so. um. nope. nope. nope.  photo: pinimg

rock this way

so recently it seems i've got kind of a major thing for any and every little thing that's rock-like or geode. and if it's hanging from a delicate little gold chain? well, dang. so you can imagine my utter sadness and disbelief when i found out that this one is no longer selling. good grief. 'cause some lucky someone got to it first. but that's alright. that's okay. that just means i have to work a little harder to go out and find my own pretty + purple-y necklace o' geode.  pic/image: etsy

holy bows, batman!

holy whoa. i'm a girl that loves me some bows. and if they're oversized, velvet and on a perfectly perfect little pointy shoe - i'm a goner for sure, it's true. in fact, it makes me a little sad that these aren't currently sitting all pretty on my own feet. but i'll just have to search and search 'til i can find some similar ones to call mine all mine.  pic: pbs.twimg.com

b-a-n-a-n-a-s

and yes, in case you were wondering, i am out loud singing just like miss gwen stefani while typing. but really, how could i not when there's a little purse with sequin-y bananas all over it? i mean, shoot. besides, bananas just so happen to be hands-down my favorite of the fruit group. so i should totes properly represent them, no? yeah -- thought so. photo: zara

blue blue dolls

welp. that's it. this pic settles it. i need to go out and find me a furry coat that's baby blue, striped and fuzzy wuzzy. so. and the exaggerated oversize tent shape makes it all the more great. oh. and don't think that i don't see your little friend over there with the beyond perfect green velvet platform booted pair. in fact, it's hard not to gawk + stare. pic: shopstyle

froth and roll

it seems as if i'm not the only one that is into all things frothy when it comes to what i want to dress up in and put on. giambattista valli seems to wholeheartedly agree with me with the fall 2016 collection i'm just now seeing. and in color and shade choices and picks of lilac, white or crimson, it seems you can pick your own frothy pretty poison. photo: vogue

kill or be killed

we all know in this world, they like to think (and then tell us) that it's kill or be killed kind of ruthless. but i just thought today, on this unassuming little thursday, we could all be reminded of the fact that we are all (in our own way) killing it. going individually through what we are on the day by day, i just wanted to send this li'l ribbon your way.  pic: instagram

good golly miss molly

i'm pretty sure i've (more than) repeately written about her, THE miss molly goddard, but she speaks to me in such a way that i want to do nothing but twirl and dance around and away in her seafoam and frothy frock and dress creations all the day. besides, who doesn't want to dress and feel like a little itty bitty kid again? if you say you, you must be kiddin'. the ruffles and the pastel-y sherbet-y shades alone make me want her as my permanent every day style tome. photo: lfw

happy v day

i've never been a big fan of this day - even when i was in a relationship, okay? so i like to interpret it in a different way so i can more happily celebrate. maybe the letter "v" stands for something else entirely; i'm sure it goes without saying and needs no further explaining. so to all my other feminists, i (now) say and proudly proclaim: happy v day!!! photo: eythink

keruffle

and yes, i meant to type 'keruffle' and not 'kerfuffle.' for more emphasis, you know. 'cause lately it seems i am for all things girlie. the more ruffles, the better. probably because i had been eyeing a mint/pistachio-ish green vintage pretty over on Hollie Point and instead of just getting it (it was in my size) i let it slip thru my fingers! *BIG sigh*  photo: pinimg

b + w

is there a more classic color combo than that of black and white? i don't think so, right? it's so simple yet amazingly chic that i go back to it for me and my own wardrobe, uh, constantly. in fact, i'd love to get rid of anything else that's bright and/or color saturated and just stick with this particular color palette. forever and ever, my friends. amen. image: bynnz

the chair bares

i don't think i've ever wanted a chair more desperately in my life than this clear one, you guys. i've been on a clear chair search recently anyway so i guess it should come as no surprise that i would want this one. or five. it's just that it just may be the coolest piece of furniture me and my little eyes did or have ever seen. ya feel me?!?  image: design and design

whose line is it anyway?

mine, i hope, i think ... that is, if i get it as some tatted and permanent ink. there's just something kind of romantic about a black and white tat with just a splash of color in and on it. when daydreaming of what my first tat will be, i always have a hard time deciding between color or b+w, but this one could be a pretty good compromise. image: westminsterfashion

neon squees

the squee: the sound i make every time i see neon + lighted anything. seriously. i'm like a kid in a candy shop when it comes to (any and all of) that (kind of) stuff. so naturally when i see a pretty and bright-lighted thing, i have to let out a big ol' loud + high-pitched squee, like, immediately. anyone else do that sort of thing? or just me?  image: life on sundays

grey matter

uh-oh. so. it looks like i'm going back to wanting hair that's grey, white-ish and silvery. but after seeing this, can you really blame me? there's something regal, stoic and powerful about this particular color and shade aka all the things i love about grey. not to mention that black sweatshirt + pleated skirt that i would totally (work) werk.  image: instagram

screen actors gild

so i began the week with one of my fave actresses both cinematically and sartorially speaking and thought it only appropriate to do the same while and when ending it. so may i present to you my fellow bloggies: miss chloe sevigny. there's never been one thing she hasn't worn that i haven't wanted to also. photo one: chloe-sevigny photo two: gotceleb

a pearl of a girl

ok. so here's the dealie. i haven't seen that musical-laden la la land movie. eep. YET. i'm still totally and completely planning on it. (it's just my darn teeny tiny budget.) but i've seen enough trailers and previews and stills to know that i want my own little brogues also. preferably lined in and with pearls so i can be known as a 'pearl of a girl.'  photo: vogue

diners club

guys. i have been on the most major lookout and kick as of late to find the perfect dining room table + chair set, okay? like maje maje. and it just hasn't happened yet, although i can't even tell you how many have currently been put on a wishlist. and now i think i'm just gonna go ahead and add this: a gold velvet chair fit for an empress. yes.  photo: design+
