boyfriend, boyfriend

Wearing some ideal boyfriend jeans, and a top straight from the men's section -- with girly elements of course. Who doesn't love borrowing from the boys? Happy Wednesday! xx

a weekend in camo

A weekend in camo -- literally. I wore this exact look every. single. day. this weekend (I can sense a repeat again in my future). This men's top is just so versatile -- perfect for a date, or a superbowl party -- and especially when paired with v-day pink.

bam ram ram

From far away this look is all basics -- white top, black pants. Nothing special. Then bam! You get closer and there are tiny rams sprinkled all over it. I love it. This might be the closest thing I get to owning a basic white shirt.

a coach classic

I visited Newburyport this weekend (such a cute town -- bakeries, coffee shops and vintage hideouts everywhere) and did a little window shopping to warm up from the cold. Didn't really have anything in mind that I was looking for, but stumbled on this vintage Coach classic for only $20. Seriously! Love when that happens. I almost walked out without it (no idea why since it retails new for $298), but I'm so happy I grabbed it.

ONE DAY LEFT TO ENTER & WIN FREE JEWELRY FROM JEWELIQ!

{Zara blazer (old but similar); Old Navy men's shirt (on sale!/similar but more $$); Gap jeans (I have these too); Coach Willis bag (new here, vintage on ebay); Steve Madden pumps (old); J Crew bracelet; Karen Walker sunnies}

llama love

Just hanging out on this stoop with my new BFF iPhone case (I gave you a little sneak peek on instagram earlier). Llamas are my absolute favorite animals. Of all time. And I am convinced that Madewell made this for me. Thanks guys! I found the perfect camo shirt/jacket from the men's section, for way less than Zara/Topshop and everywhere else I've seen them (only $25) -- a respectable price to spend on a fleeting fall trend.  

Tomorrow is my Madewell event in Boston! Stop by if you're in the area!
