If I could…….

Let's just say that if I could wear a silk button down with leather shorts and these Isabel Marant wedges for the rest of the summer than I would. Last year I discovered that silk button downs look just as great tucked into a pair of cutoffs with sandals as they do paired with leather and heels for a night out. Enough coverage to bend down and run around with a toddler but polished enough to wear anywhere……. These little beauties have become a wardrobe staple.

Winters in NC are about as unpredictable as Kanye West these days. One day its 70 degrees and the next day the high is in the 40s…On the day I wore this outfit it got up to 70 and I sweat my little leather hot pants off….but the day we shot this outfit it was in the 50s….so the cowl on my face is because I'm frozen. I'm not trying to be smug or coy….I was just flippin cold.

Obviously motherhood is the most important thing in my life....but there are certain times when a girl just wants to escape reality. For me there is no better escape than fashion and food. Decadent silks and leathers along with chocolate espresso tarts are pretty much heaven to me.  What do you guys do to escape your crazy lives?

You guys know I lurve me some patterns...BUT I don't think you need patterns to make an outfit interesting....playing with different textures like leather, fur and fringe can most definitely take an outfit to the next level ("#chictothenextlev".....bahaha I hope you got that). Not to mention the new Carmen necklace from Stella & Dot has just had me channeling some boho vibes lately....and ok yes that is the third faux fur vest I've worn this week but its gone from 33 degrees to 76 back down to the 40's and I don't know how to stay warm/cool/I'm so confused the only thing I know to do is layer!!!! PS that IS a box of cheerios in my Louis....because you never quite know when they can come in handy....for the doodle or for myself....happy weekend skrillas :) 

PPS...I don't know if you noticed my hair this week....but I said "mom hair beware" and straightened it with my new Hana flat iron thanks to Misikko.....I actually look presentable for once...but don't get used to it :)


And in case you missed an outfit this week....PS notice the shades...they are Kawaii Kitsch by A's Fashion Files and I can't wait to show you my new pair next week!!
