vintage havana mesh sweatshirt.




There's just some days that feel like jeans and a sweatshirt day but even jeans and sweatshirts can't be boring in my book. Perfect for these days is Vintage Havana's mesh sweatshirt - a reinvented take on the typically slouchy gym wear. I saw this sweatshirt during the Moxie Comm Spring review and well you know I have an affinity to mesh, sweatshirts and dressing up laid back pieces so this was a instant love considering it combined all three efforts. It easily can be dressed up with a knee-length skirt to play   with the cropped silhouette or tossed over a bikini - and of course with jeans and heels.

Speaking of heels, I am thoroughly obsessed with my new Agata Wang heels. Despite the unusual upper of a clear vamp strap mixed with the t-strap, it works effortlessly with pants, boyfriend jeans, skirts, short and dresses. So damn good.

wardrobe staples.


I am all about wardrobe staples that aren't necessarily staples at first thought. Take this leather jacket for example. Pretty sure most people consider a black leather jacket a staple and believe me mine is but I must admit I tend to gravitate more towards this colorblock one when I am in need of a quick jacket to throw on. I am beginning to feel the same way about white pants - though nothing could ever replace my black waxed jeans - but the idea of white snakeskin pants (sorry the texture didn't come out in these pics) has an easy fresh state of mind for Summer and happily integrates with my t-shirt collection. It's like simple without the expected.

black, white, grey and clear.


It's already pretty obvious that my color palette stays within a black and white world and now - thanks to my new Alexander Wang Agata heels - see-through clear is being added. Ok so it's not quite a color but definitely a new texture in my wardrobe and I'm loving it - but it could also be these heels are just plain amazing. They have such a unique upper pattern with the clear vamp strap combined with the T-strap - essentially the perfect shoe to complete any simple understated outfit.

new in: alexander wang agata.


Sigh. I couldn't help myself. I honestly wasn't planning on getting these Alexander Wang Agata heels but when I was looking around trying to find a sturdy heeled shoe to wear to a wedding, I kept falling more and more in love. I tried getting these Zara heels but I would be lying to myself if I kept them. They just didn't feel right. So when Shopbop put them on further discount, I caved. And I'm in super love. Damn Alex for his amazingness...

They are still available HERE if you want to cave in too!

free people leather shorts.


It was pretty obvious that after my denim short obsession, I would be obsessed with leather shorts - or faux leather shorts. They are one of those pieces that I know I could/would wear every day and should have as a staple in my black and white wardrobe but sadly, I've never found one I liked enough. In the past and even currently, there's plenty of elastic waistband options but those just aren't flattering to my body. I wanted a pair that was exactly like these but of course in leathery material. After searching and trying on everything possible, I fell in love with this pair from Free People. The faux vegan material is actually quite soft and I went a size larger just so I can cuff them up and toy with them a bit. My actual size just fit too perfectly for my taste.

So while I was in the leather mood, I thought why not pair leather on leather and toss in a tee shirt with a bold message? Make sausage not war. This shirt is actually from my friend's restaurant Seoul Sausage - which you might remember me mentioning here. I took the boyfriend there a few weeks ago and he loved the place so much he bought a t-shirt for me to highjack from him.
