Today's Love is...

Urban Original Military/Hiking Boot

Since yesterday's Today's Love was rather pricey, I decided to post something that is crazy reasonable today. I loving pairing military accents with this season's ladylike fashions. These brown (or black) hiking and military-inspired boots are super comfy, and they go with everything. At only $27, there is nothing not to love. Check them out at urbanog.com

Inspired by... Faux Fur

I absolutely adore all the faux fur on the Fall/Winer runways this year. It's warm, comfortable, completely humane, and undeniably chic. A jacket, bag, or shoe embellished with the fabric is instantly modernized and fashion-ified (I know that's not a word, but bear with me). And a faux fur piece can make a boring outfit exciting when I have no time for a complicated look.

One great thing about this trend is that there are great pieces both from high end and low end stores. My personal favorite faux fur pieces from high fashion designer's were made by Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel. Lagerfeld achieved the difficult feat of making both edgy, punk-esque, rebellious knits and romantic, ladylike, classic, sophisticated furs in one collection. Check out some gorgeous Chanel coats below.




If you're like me, then unfortunately you just can't afford those mouth-wateringly beautiful Chanel pieces, no matter how much you wish for them. Do not despair! Because faux fur is just that, faux, it isn't too expensive to make, and thus there are great pieces available from cheaper stores. Some of my favorites are this cozy and chic brown vest from urban outfitters and this great-fitting and surprisingly-expensive-looking jacket from forever 21.

Rebel Yell

Hello everyone, anyone,

I want this blog to be about what I like and dislike, culture and fashion-wise. But I also want it to be about who I am. I want you to know me, in a different way than that of the people who know me in my real life. For you, I want to be who I WISH I was. So, I am going to make a list of five 'rebellious' (rebellious for me) things I want to do in September, that will introduce you to the me I want to be. I'll inform you on how my attempt turns out. Wish me luck...

1. Wear something to school that I would normally feel was too 'out-there.'
2. Attend a school dance, and actually DANCE.
3. Stay out too late.
4. Wear something too short.
5. If I'm angry, TELL the person I'm angry at.

I know, I know. None of these are really very rebellious, in the normal sense of the word. But as you have robably guessed based on this list, I am not a rebelliosu person. I am an average, prudish, nerdy girl, and PROUD OF IT. But that doesnt mean i don't want to branch out into the world of bad-assness (or ATTEMPTED, diluted, watered down bad-assness. )

If this part of the blog bores you, because it doesn't have much to do with the rest of the blog, so feel free to skip it. If you are interested, don't worry, ill keep you updated!

Love,
Your trying-to-be-wild Girl

Today's Love

Today I Love...

Hello Readers!

Today I'm creating a daily feature for my blog called Today's Love. Once a day, I'll post an item of clothing that I absolutely love. It might be cheap or expensive, old or new, light or dark. It might be anything. I hope you enjoy!

So, my inaugurative Today's Love is...



This Proenza Schouler Fall/Winter Ready to Wear look, specifically the gorgeous cropped chunky fair isle knit pullover. I'm loving the chunky knit look this season, and Proenza Schouler's innovative cropped version rebelliously paired with shredded jeans is no exception. True, its out of my price range, but a girl can dream!
