Laced in Romance
I love weird color combinations especially when they can be referenced to fruit. Watermelon pink and cantaloupe orange, raspberry red and avocado green, and in this case, lime green and plum purple. I’ve had this Prada blouse for awhile now (found it hidden in a sale rack at my favorite consignment store, INA) and while it goes with pretty much everything, I knew I found it’s match when I saw this skirt at Topshop. Like Juliet and Romeo these secondary, non-matching colors found themselves to be a perfect fit, interlaced in romance, emphasis on the lace. For you see, normally I wouldn’t go for a purple pleated skirt with lace detailing (hello girly!), but knowing this lace trimmed blouse was sitting in my closet waiting for true love, I just couldn’t leave the skirt behind. Just call me the OkCupid of clothing romance, for few things give me more satisfaction than finding two pieces that were meant to be together.
As for news in my romantic life:

Local Jaunt : Flying A
I know you guys were expecting a “Week in Review” for today, but let’s mix things up shall we?
Ok. Here we go!
The first store on my Mastercard Priceless New York shopping tour list is Flying A, where affordable casual chic jeans, jackets, and jumpers hangout with 1960s boho dresses and romper boots. I admittedly had never heard of this store before but now have it wedged into my hefty list of must-stop Soho shops. I must have tried on over eight pairs of their colorful denim this past weekend and am still cursing myself for not buying a pair of Pour la Victoire chestnut brown boots. Another item on my “curse myself for not buying” list are some ridiculously cute necklaces with teeny tiny animal charms (and when I say teeny tiny I mean it – a little piggy’s tail was less than a centimeter long!). As much as I try to convince myself that my style is sophistication at it’s finest, I have a serious weakness for cute animal accessories. Luckily, now that Flying A is on my radar I’ll have plenty of other opportunities to buy the aforementioned boots and necklaces and all those other pieces I deem as “necessities.”
