FASHION SNAG

Vince Sweater

These Givenchy platform sandals are one of my most comfortable pairs of shoes.

Current/Elliott Boyfriend Shorts

I am very happy with my first pair of Current/Elliott denim shorts.  I picked out this leopard print pair with a boyfriend fit and they look fabulous with a black leather belt.  I wore mine with a beachy white knit sweater from Vince, Givenchy sandals, and bracelets from The Brooklyn Bakery and Alex and Ani.  For semi-sheer sweaters it helps to have an interesting bra like this asymmetric one from Helmut Lang.  You always need a pair of sunglasses around here so as usual my Oliver Peoples were propped up on my head.  You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.

Meet my new favorite miniskirt, the swinton.  This Rag & Bone swinton bandage skirt is so soft due to a blend of alpaca and silk and the sale price wasn't really that bad.  I love how easy it is to slip on due to the elastic knit fabric and it is pretty warm so I can pair it with a tank for spring.  I bought the black version, but this skirt is also available in gray.  Rag & Bone has really impressed me lately and I find myself constantly going back to check on their new arrivals.  They have great quality clothes that seem to have a timelessness to them that I appreciate.  If you are looking for a stretchy, no fuss black bandage skirt that won't make you itch then this would be the perfect one for you. 

I paired my Rag & Bone mini with a bright melon bodice tank from LnA.  This was part of my package of LnA goodies that Karina from Tea Leaf Clothing sent me.  This melon color is fabulous for the bright color trends of spring 2011.  It has some nifty pockets in the front that are shaped like little triangles.  I like all the geometric seam detail going on in this tank and the bodice part is perfect for small busted girls like myself.  I layered it over my T by Alexander Wang ponte criss cross bra top for an overall sporty look.  I especially adore how the back of the tank looks combined with the criss cross bra straps.  LnA makes some great high quality basics and they are one of my go-to brands when I need a t-shirt or tank.  Luckily, Tea Leaf Clothing carries a wide variety of LnA pieces and they often have codes available for a certain percentage off if you follow them on Twitter.  Be sure to stock up on some tanks for spring.  I know I am!

It is difficult not to wear these Lanvin wedge ankle boots with absolutely everything.  They are easy to slip on and comfortable despite the height.  Plus, they go with everything since they are black.  I am glad Lanvin continued the puzzle piece wedge concept for spring with their ankle strap tie peep toe wedges.
