Hello. :)

Can you tell by my face how cold it is today?

The sweater I am wearing is another found treasure from an excursion into my mom's closet. She hasn't worn it in years. The last time she did, I remember poking fun at the huge puffed shoulder sleeves...now can't stop loving what those huge puffed shoulder sleeves add to the sweater and my outfit! It is made of 100% wool, so it is very warm (and if you haven't noticed, warm clothing during winter is number one for me).

It's been a while since my last post...the reason being is that we had to put my dog down on January 22. He was 11 years old and the best little guy in the world.

Geometric Color

Today I am wearing one of my favorite sweaters!

It is from H&M. I made it the focus of my outfit by pairing it with a black turtleneck dress from American Apparel and gray tights. I felt like the patterning of shapes and colors deserved a spotlight!

Breezy Proportions

You will now witness my failed attempt in trying to be fierce...



Oh well...I tried!

Everything I'm wearing today is a bit oversized. I wanted to be comfortable on my last day of winter break before school starts up again. The one aspect I love about this top, however, is that the silken fabric making up the bottom hem in the front, continues and takes up most of the back. I feel like it adds just the right amount of excitement!

Today in Gray

Hello! A quick little outfit post...

Flushed Pink

Hello, once again!





dress-Anthology (small boutique), turtleneck-J. Crew, necklace-Forever 21, boots-Vintage

I found this dress in Anthology, a small boutique in Hoboken, NJ. If you are ever in the New York area, Anthology is a short 15 minute path ride from Manhattan. I love the soft pink color of this dress and the elegant fall of the sleeves. A found gem among many treasures! I threw it over a light pink turtleneck from J. Crew to keep warm in the cold, although I can't wait to through it over a bathing suit come summertime! My necklace is from Forever 21. I don't wear it often, but I thought it added a bit of pizazz to an otherwise simple outfit.

shirt-vintage, jeans-topshop, belt-vintage, scarf-h&m, boots-frye

It is frigid cold here today! Luckily I have my enormous scarf from H&M to keep me warm. I threw it over one of my favorite blouses that was actually my mom's in the 1970's. I am always sneaking it out of her closet! I should have taken a detail photo of my blouse for you all to see! There is silken embroidery alongside the buttons. It adds a touch of elegance when paired with my black jeans. The black jeans are actually my first purchase from Topshop since that wonderful store arrived in NYC. My boots are Frye...you can never go wrong with Frye! I wear them almost everyday.


Thank you for everyone's comments this far! I am really enjoying the fashion blogging experience!

Oh, and for all of you Chictopians out there...http://www.chictopia.com/marigolddd

Until next time...xo.

Staying Warm

Here I am!

This sweater is super warm. The pattern is a little different for me but I love the earthy tones. I usually throw a belt around my waist when I wear this sweater to give it a bit of shape. I am also wearing the newest addition to my continually growing shoe collection, a pair of heeled, lace-up boots!


To close, I came across this article on Ana Lerario-Geller's line. Check out the slideshow which showcases her Spring/Summer 2010 collection. Her pieces are really beautiful.
