[Fashion] Pretty Printed - Brights and Black Leather




Bag:

Shoes:

Elastic Waist Faux Leather Shorts:
Zara (Similar Here)

Printed Top: 







I've been going pretty minimal (for me) on the accessories lately. I just haven't been wanting to deal with the added weight and noise of an arm party and what not. Today I just went with earrings from House of Harlow - I had others that played up the more tropical aspects of this top but chose to keep it simple with the black leather accents because I felt like a brighter color would still look okay - nice for pictures but kind of too much for regular life. (Sometimes when I get too matchy matchy with large accessories I feel like the Chiquita Banana lady lol.)


My top is from the Prabal Gurung for Target collection, the only thing I purchased from the line. (BTW this top is SUPER itchy to me on top around the neck. H&M had a similarly cut top last year and it was way more comfortable! Also I am wearing an XS for reference) I was definitely tardy to the party on this one (and typically any special release collection lol) but I'm okay with it. The only things I would have wanted to scoop up were the SHOESSS - of course. Butttttttttt I was afraid the quality might not be that great and there was nothing I saw that was so different where I couldn't find it in another brand. : \ (lol #tryingtobeokaywithnotgettingtheshoes) 


Which brings me to my, often favorite part, THE SHOES! I purchased these from Zara a few days ago and I love them! They are currently sold out online because I believe they have been out for a while but luckily my local Zara usually has a 37 in stock randomly. They are decently comfortable for what they are but not really something I would consider a walking long distances shoe. It was fine for me out and about to brunch and what not though. (Today was my first day wearing them) I love the look! Classic, simple and sexy. 


The faux leather shorts with elastic waist are also from Zara and were under $40. I couldn't find them on the website but I purchased them a couple days ago so they should still be in stores : ) I love the elastic waist and pocket detail! Although these can add a little bulk to the look they are super comfortable and just kind of cool : ) They are also a looser fit and come down a little longer in the back so although they look short I dont feel like my butt is falling out of the back or anything. (I purchased a size M for reference.) 


Lastly I am wearing the same Alexander Wang Rocco handbag again so sorry if you are sick of seeing it - just went so perfectly with this outfit I couldn't resist! I love both the Rocco and Rockie (this is the one I have - HERE) for those of you wondering how I feel about the bags. (I've been getting a lot of questions on it.) As far as the weight I don't have a problem with it personally. If you watch my "What's in my Bag" Video you'll see that I don't typically carry too much but I would say this is not an every day bag for those heavy packers out there!

Woot woooooot! Two outfit posts in a row : ) 
I'm excited! Can't wait till Steve has time to help me take some real pictures of my outfits (at this point I am still relying on screen grabs from video footage -__-) but hopefully you guys are still enjoying the posts none the less.

Thanks so much for reading! 

Talk to you soon,

[Fashion] Time for Lime.

Jeans:

Top: 
Tank -Forever 21 (Old)
Sweater - Forever 21 (Purchased in Vegas)

Today's Outfit of the Day is simple but with some fun color pops. 
As you can see I am loving the lemony lime hues (also HERE) - I think it's always a great color to ring in SPRING!

The Breakdown: 

The Alexander Wang Rocco in Acid I purchased in October as a birthday gift to myself and I am finally able to start taking it out more! 

Manolo Blahnik Suede BB Point Toe Pumps are an absolute classic and one of my all time favorite shoes. The Suede BB is THE most comfortable pointed toe pump I've ever owned and they come in a ton of colors! (I wish I could collect 'em all!) 

These Lime Green ones are a new release for SS2013 - also come in Orange (Here

I plan on doing a separate post on these pumps where I will go into more detail about sizing, comfort, wear, etc. So be sure to keep an eye out for that if you are interested!  

I don't own many designer jeans but I am a HUGE fan of Genetic Denim. They are pricey but for me, worth every penny! Extremely comfortable and wash/wear incredibly well. I only have about 3 pairs (two of which were purchased this year) but I can't imagine loving a jean more than these. I hope to invest in a few more at some point. 

Both my sweater and layering tank are from Forever 21. The tank came as part of another shirt that I separated and the sweater was under $20. I purchased it in Vegas and I think it may actually be a bathing suit cover up? I found it in the swimsuit section. 

Luckily I had a necklace to match and to help tie the whole thing together!
 I like the idea of having the 3 points/levels of the green.

Thanks so much for reading : )

I'm so happy to be able to throw in a fashion post finally!

I've been wanting to but sometimes it's tough when you are your own camera woman. (For the pic of me I actually took a video and then a screen shot to get this....and I actually WAS on the phone. lol. It ended up being the best/most casual shot I had.)

As spring and summer approches I'm sure I will have more Outfit posts as well some general fashion stuff - favorites, new pieces, etc. 

I'm looking forward to it! 

Till then....

I will talk to you soon,
Holly
