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!!

Do you ever find yourself flipping through your favorite fashion mag and falling instantly in love with an item only to look at the price and scream "that's my monthly freakin mortgage, who can afford that". It happens time and time again....beautiful clothes are...well....expensive. BUT when I happen to find a brand that makes beautiful, well made, affordable clothes....I jump on them like white on rice (sometimes my southernness just has to come out :) ). These fantastic grid print shorts are from Sylvia & Luka and if you haven't checked them out yet then stop what you are doing and visit their site!!! PS I can't wait to show these shorts again once it gets a little warmer, the pleating detail on the sides is just perfection. Happy Wednesday skrillas :)

 For those of you that know me/follow me you are well aware of my printed pants obsession.....and this weekend I took it a little bit further by creating my own print. My favorite part of diy-ing clothes is you never really know what the outcome will be. In this case.....I am lurving it! Baahah I love that in one of these shots I'm actually break dancing on a stage and in another I'm on the phone with the husband about the groceries for the week....

If you are interested in doing this project yourself see the steps in the DIY album on the What2Wear Facebook page (just use equal parts bleach and water instead of fabric dye).

P.S. like my necklace/ bangle /ring? Well good news...through Thursday if you spend $50 then you get these 3 items and a couple more at 50% off! Um, what, yea I said it, that's a steal!!! If you are interested then check out this link....but be sure to order through this trunk show otherwise it won't work :)

linking up with Molly :)
