Pleather Please

Blazer: Nordstrom

Shirt: Nordstrom

Skirt: eBay

Tights: Nordstrom

Heels: Michael Kors

Jacket: H&M (A/W '11)

What a lame name, I am very much so aware. Decided I'd pop this up, a standard outfit of the day. I got this really cheap pleather skirt on eBay and am still honestly, not sure what to wear with it. As you can tell, I changed coats twice ( I really don't know what to wear with it). I think it's darling for a night out or a day shopping, but too short for school or work so thats a bummer. I really like tights with it but you could also pair it with some knee highs. I'm still aptly obsessed with the Michael Kors heels. I pair them with everything and anything. Jeans, (short/long) skirts, shorts, etc. Literally so obsessed.

I've been trying out some hair care products, look for a post on that soon. I've made a new twitter. Feel free to follow it (@theblondeblair). Otherwise, have a lovely week.

short jacket / long skirt

leather jacket: urban outfitters

shirt: urban outfitters

skirt: topshop

shoes: urban outfitters

handbag: aldo

Wow, this suddenly seems like a post that was directly sponsored by urban outfitters but I promise you it wasn't. I begged my mom to take this pictures before the storm came, but we still got rained on. Anyways, I ventured into top shop and managed to only come out with this skirt (might be because I had no more money for anything else). I'm really in love with it. Hopefully my maxi dress comes in the mail soon (cough top shop shipping sucks cough). 

Hope you've all had a good start to the week.

Faux Fur

Jacket: Urban Outfitters

Faux Fur Scarf: Nordstrom

Jeans: Hollister

Booties: Seychelles

So I guess I've felt a bit uninspired lately, but I'm trying to get back on track. Let's just say that my budget is low and I'm trying to work with what I got. I've also been swamped with school work lately and so I'm also trying to manage all of my time wisely (i.e. put coursework before blogging, duh). I definitely have ideas both for fashion and beauty that are really exciting for fall, just give me some time.

over-the-knee

Dress: Top Shop

Jacket: J. Crew

Over-the-Knee Socks: Forever 21

Heels: Seychelles

Still not quite autumn yet here, but it is getting colder a tiny bit. Glad at this fact, I've got some cute new fall clothes I'm ready to break out. But alas, settled on this little number up above. I was a bit in the Christmas mood, I suppose, because this dress clearly yells holidays. Too bad it's only September! I also stole these socks from my sister's closet (thanks meghan!) and really love them with the black heels. It reminds me of the thigh high boots that Rachel Zoe always wears (except like 0.1% of the price..) and I've got a few more outfits under my sleeve that I'm excited to put together with these two. The coat is an old favourite (also stolen from my sister's closet, thanks again!) and I always seem to wear it if I don't know what else to wear. Berry is really big this season, as is this green so I thought this was a perfect outfit for autumn.

I'm really excited about all of the fashion shows going on this week and last (i.e. NYFW and LFW) and am dying over the new trends (beauty included). Excited to work with them in S/S 13! What shows have been your favourite and which trends are you excited for?

B&W

Top: Top Shop

Disco Pants: American Apparel

Heels: Seychelles

Jacket: Urban Outfitters

Ah, a total full black and white outfit... Pretty simple, little bit sophisticated, whole lotta sassy thrown in there. I love this peplum top, and the whole peplum trend is completely geared towards me. "Pear" shaped you could say, the effect of the top makes my waist look tiny and gives a really lovely shade to my bum. The next thing I'm loving is these disco pants. I caved and bought them. I did the deed. It had to happen and it did. I stand by my statement in saying that they're way overpriced ($85!) but I really do love what they do to me and what they can bring to an outfit. They really pull me all together, with fabric that's not too uncomfortably tight. I got these heels at the Nordstrom summer sale for way marked down (which always makes me feel happy), and am dying over them. I think they're the perfect fall staple shoe. They could honestly go with so much of my closet and I'm really excited about these. I also really love the jacket which I got at Urban Outfitters. I was looking for one for a while but couldn't find anything that amazing. Then I found this jacket... And I was in love with it. It wasn't too pricey ($98) and it'll last forever.

A sneak peak at my next outfit and my new camera. Hope you're all doing well.
What are your staple pieces this season?

Polka Dots and Pleats

Shirt: Top Shop

Skirt: H&M

Shoes: Aldo

My first official post with a real camera! What a glorious day it is! This was just an outfit of the day for what I wore to school, minus a sweater when it got a little cold outside. The tricky thing about dressing for class is that I have a dress code, and have to adhere by it. The most prominent thing is that when wearing a dress or skirt, it has to be 1-2 inches from the knee... Which for me, is a bummer because I'm a fan of shorter dresses but this skirt happens to work really well. I'm still working out the logistics of my camera, so bare with me while I try to figure it out for the next few posts.
