Black and Gold: bling and bold

If you're looking to stay on trend, black and gold is the talk of tinsel town right now. And what better timing? The gold sparkles are perfect for holiday parties or new years eve bashes. The black keeps things edgy... perfection.

Disheveled Coolness

My epitome of cool? Black, white, classic, but with an edge. Tight fitting or laid-back 'looseness', I go for either. To my delight, Celine's Spring 2013 collection wowed me. The elegant coolness and breezy silhouettes had me drooling and counting down the days until Spring.  Check out style.com's write-up on their runway collection and check out 'my picks' below to emulate the style. Breezy and Beautiful.

Spring's Three Staples

Now that it seems like Spring has sprung (finally!), I'm getting excited for warmer weather styles. After perusing through my fav fashion mags, I've come up with a few Spring 2013 stables that are serious must-buys.

Camo/Military

Whether it be a vintage t-shirt, flats, or a jacket, camo just gives everything that little extra edge. I love it and I need it. Camo anything and everything. Just be careful not to overdo it. We're trekking city streets, not mud-filled marshes. Pair with white jeans to soften the green or khaki and leather sandals for a downtown, cool vibe.

Sweatshirt (10 Crosby Derek Lam)

Shorts (Bullhead)

t-shirt (Urban Outfitters)

Breton T

Always classic and always in style, the french style staple works with nearly everything. Layer with a blazer and skinny pants, or rock it with red lips, boyfriend jeans, and a canvas shoe.

Canvas Sneaks

Spring has finally sprung and that means white canvas sneakers are back! The perfect (and comfy) way to complete an outfit. I have a bias towards Converse, but there are heaps out there to choose from.

More dainty? Try Converse Dainty Ballerina. 

COLORS galore!  Bensimon Tennis Lacet. (on sale!)

I just bought these and I'm obsessed. Converse Shoreline.
