TOROS IN THE ATMOSPHERE

As in, 'Brr, it's could out here, there must be some...' (AKA everything I know about climate change I learned from Bring It On.) Today's look goes out to my momma, who hooked me up with this old Ann Taylor sweater last time I was home. I love the longer proportion of it with my Brooks Brothers skirt, worn here with tights, all covered up in teddy bear fur—basically melding this look with this look. Also of note: I'm wearing a nose ring!

COZYING UP TO FUR

A faux fur throw for my desk chair, specifically—not big daddy's chest hair (wink). In all seriousness, the look is seasonal and cozy, but also rustic and big-city chic at the same time. They look great on pretty much all the seats! And, TBH, I'd go for a real fur throw if it were vintage...is that bad? Reduce, reuse, recycle? What's nice is that the look can also be achieved with a furry throw pillow. Images via (clockwise from top-left): 1, 2, 3, 4.

ALL BLACK EVERYTHING

Except for those green shoes...and the beanie and socks. But other than that, today's look is all about post-gothic otter pup realness, with shades of Ashley Olsen channeling Rose McGowan circa Doom Generation.

I've been feeling inspired lately to try some new things with the blog. Aside from making it more "designy," I'm pushing myself to create editorial-ish shoots that reflect what trends in the fashion/beauty worlds I'm loving and how they're directly affecting my "steez." I think I've too often felt, for one reason or another, that I have to present my content here in a specific, very coded way - particularly the outfit posts. I've been thinking too much inside the box and am realizing that there are a million and one ways to share what's on my mind, how it got there and, most importantly, why I love clothes and why I feel the need to blog about them. I figure, if I'm going to lug a suitcase full of clothes all around New York City, then I'm going to put on a wig in front of a police station and pout...and pose! This week, I'm sharing my love for wigs, wool trousers and faux fur. You can check out the photos from this post on my Flickr if you want to Pin/Tumbl them!
