"My big love for black and ocher" by Perventina Ols on LOOKBOOK.nu


I love this silhouette! I can't wait to get a black skirt like this one because of the layering possiblities, so many chances to put together different outfits for all seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter!

The heels i'm wearing today are sooo comfy, but for some reason i always forget about them. I've had them for three years now and have probably worn them like six times, i wonder why...? I once walked the entire Vegas strip with them when i was sent there for work. I didn't get tired til the last block, i think that's pretty good!

• Nute Polka Dot Tights (Forever 21)
• Gold Pleather Braided Belt (Forever 21)
• Gold Oxfords (Forever 21)

I had a really hard time getting dressed this morning and i have no idea why. I wanted to wear my gold oxfords and thought they would look cute like this, but not only was it not cute, it was cold. I can't tell you how much i LOVE puff sleeve tops!!!!!!! SO CUTE!

Outfit #2

• Grey Bow Sweater (Target Girls)
• Charcoal Jeggings
• Charcoal Patent Leather Boots (Goldenbleu)

I quickly changed into something warmer, but when i walked out the door i realized i was still too cold and needed something longer to cover my derrier. I was lucky enough to have a brown dress in my car that fit perfectly.

• Navy Blue white polka dot crop pants

• Black leather cuff (h&m)

I wore this out fit and was warm all day long, thanks God! Well, it was actually sunny today for a change. These boots are great aren't they? I know they're a bit much, but i love how classy and edgy they are at the same time. I mean, if you read the description without taking a look at the picture, they sound questionable, right? I got them at the Goldenbleu warehouse sale when they were closing up shop, so sad.... I MISS GOLDENBLEU!

I've been wearing a lot of color, but mostly cold tones. I think it has to do with the fact that the weather has been cold, wet, and gloomy lately.

I am soooo tired of the winter weather!!!!! I know i've been complaining alot about the weather lately, but i can't stand this barrier between me and the yearning i have to wear items of clothing other than pants, boots and thick coats! How many more days left til spring?

This is the first time i feature a pair of Goldenbleu shoes, right? Well, Goldenbleu was a native company in my neck of the woods and i say was because they went under due to the recent economic collapse. Not only were the designs innovative, the construction of their products was impeccable. The line was designed here in the Bay and produced in Italy, just gorgeous! RIP GOLDENBLEU... <3

Layering is key in this weather so i opted for this velvet jacket i've had for about 15 years. Yes, FIFTEEN years! I know that makes me seem kinda old, but even as a kid i appreciated old school garb and always tried to find ways to incorporate it into my outfits. Gotta love velvet!

I was cold the whole day wearing this dress because the temperature dropped dramatically.

the clan goes shopping

i went shopping with the cousins last week and left with these items. I don't like to buy faux-leather shoes, but i had to have these gold oxfords! I'm not a fan of man made shoes because i have very sensitive feet and can't stand wearing shoes that have no support, but these are an exception. Gotta love your feet ladies!

from my bf

the bf sent me this video via fb today. I LOVE IT! This is one of my favorite covers of this song.
