I have never been a fan of gold, but with it being everywhere the past few seasons I couldn’t help but succumb to it. I have actually come to enjoy playing with little bits of gold details. As such, this look was inspired by the gold clasp in the belt and eventually improvised with other pieces as I went along.

Enjoy your day!

*Aptly named The Ecstasy of Gold while listening to Metallica‘s S&M album.

Vintage Houndstooth & Faux Fur

Coat & Sweater, H&M. Skirt, Vintage. Boots, Winners.

 
I saw a faux fur and houndstooth mix somewhere and thought I’d attempt my own version. For this look I used all recycled pieces to bring the different prints and textures together. As such the contrast of the faux fur against the wool houndstooth skirt was different, but one I liked. Also, the houndstooth happens to be a vintage hand me down from my mom. Completed the look with tan vegan boots to tie it all back to the neutrals of the fur coat.

Happy weekend! xo

Last weekend’s getup for catching brunch. I’ve started cinching sweaters with a corset style belt as a way to revive older knits. It’s also a quick way to add a little bit of flair to an otherwise somewhat boring outfit.

Happy Monday!
