Edge of bOb’s? LES….

Fashion Cloners!

I finally cut this hair of mine. And it feels liberating!

Went out for my birthday a few weeks ago and hit up Boho Karaoke on Orchard Street and sang my heart out. Then went to bOb’s bar a few blocks over. bOb’s bar is the ULTIMATE 90′s baby bar. From Michael Jackson, Mariah to Missy, SWV, ODB, etc… the place had me goooiiiinnng! bOb’s is located on Eldrige Street. Google it!

Along with the fun hair, I opted for a different look. Moving from my usual “pretty frocks”, I decided to take a simple romper from ASOS (on sale $38) and pair it with my H&M faux leather vest, and the Lita Spike from Jeffrey Campbell (also on sale $119- from Nasty Gal) for edge/rebelliousness and throw it all together. Gun metal accessories from TOP SHOP and a statement necklace via a street vendor in Soho (see photo below), and finally my skull box clutch from Necessary Clothing (Soho, NYC). Put it all together and you have an effortless outfit, with a little edge for a great night out.

I found it hard pairing my cream romper with an accessory. So this gun-metal chain with darker toned colors on the wheel allowed me to incorporate color w/o taking the edge i was looking for away.

Happy Sunday!

Isabel Marant Inspired!

I am not a fan of sneakers, but it is hard not to want to own a pair of these. It combines comfort and functionality needed for those times when wearing heels are just not possible, like running after an 18 month old or doing groceries and you know what,  SHOPPING! I can’t tell you how many times I have went shopping all day in heels and by the end of the day I am in pain. Ugh! So I honestly think that I have found a pair I need and still look stylish!

Below are the Isabel Marant Betty Shoes and Bekket shoes, 2 inch wedges! They come in at anywhere from $725-$850 but you can get them on sale at New Shoes Mall here for $358.  Celebrities like Beyonce, Miranda Kerr and Kate Bosworth, to name a few, all have been wearing these.

This post is so long overdue. I went out when I was sick (I now coin it “the grim”). Went out to a small lounge with my friends. I love them to pieces. We just hung out.. chill vibez .

On to the night: Wearing: top and skirt: Forever 21  skirt $9.80 top $18, belt: ASOS $27,  necklace: Aldo $20 (which broke into pieces) and shoes by Zara not pictured.

Close up of my chain, blouse and my boo Manfred. It was soooo hot in there. Kept my make up pretty light.. just eyeliner, mascara and blush. Liipstick was goooooooooooooone by my first drink.. Note to self, pics before you drink and sweat. mmmm k!

Clutches!

Clutches!
I am so loving oversized clutches! Some can even double as ipad/laptop cases. I was totally browsing online and creating some wishlist items to purchase on each site to come back to and and buy but then decided to share what I am digging at the moment for clutches with you guys.
Spring is on the way, so these colors are totally on point. Maybe a nice Easter clutch?

Pussybow Blouse and J. Campbell Delight

PussyBow and J. Campbell Delight

Full circle, £35
jeffrey Campbell high heels, $205
Vintage satchel, $40
ASOS spike jewelry, $14
NARS Lipstick, $24

I am so in love with Pussybow blouses at the moment. And anyone who knows me, knows I looooovvvveee polka dots! So this was the perfect combination. Paired the blouse with skinny jeans from H&M and Jeffrey Campbell heels! The color is devine and the heel is so Miu Miu. If you are loving this look and want to make it your own, I say you could also take a skinny belt and belt it around your waist,  Roll the sleeves up a bit to make it less stuffy and proper. The blouse is a boyfriend blouse, so it is on the longer side. This look can definitely be worn by a woman who has a bigger midsection and looking to hide that. This outfit is definitely forgiving and still chic at the same time. True to my style, i loved that not so matchy matchy satchel! If you haaaaave to match, paint your nails the color of the bag. To top if off lots of mascara and NARS lipstick. I know its $24 but, BUT!!!! It is long lasting and will last you FOREVER. Looking for style tips email me @ thefashionclones@gmail.com

Till next inspiration!
