I guess the state of this blog has gotten pretty bad, when I'm reduced to updating only on snowy days. Luckily, this has been the most hellacious winter, so blizzard-y days aren't in short supply. I truly thought I would have off today...but alas....just got the text from boss-man telling me to get my ass to work...except I get to dress casually today. Woopty-woop. Normally, I would totally take advantage of this, however, 40mph winds and fucking stinging snowflakes are making me dress more homeless than chic. 879485793475 layers is the only way to stay warm. However, as I was scanning my closet this morning, I began to think how much the olsies have influenced my day to day choice in style as well as my wardrobe in general. Here's a little tribute to my faves....
The amount of black I own would make a twilighter "sparkle"....what can I say? Its slimming, simple and chic...and MKA totally
own in. Also, I cannot deny how much they have helped me shift my understanding of pants. Stocking/tights/leggings in any format = pants.
With the exception of the bag, this was the stress-fracture go-to ensemble....I love this look. I believe this photo is circa 2006, and yet I still rock all of these pieces...timeless...or at least I'd like to think so.
I would give my first born for those balenciagas....or that prada bag.
The options are endless.
Aliana = shoegasm. I am a true believer in the belief that the comeback of the blazer was the single greatest fashion movement in my life...and has certainly changed my style for the better.
I'm still a sucker for that prada bag...and I don't usually like fringe.
I love that shorts are now acceptable night attire.
Another wonderful look with the balenciaga heels and prada bag. I didn't realize how many times I cataloged these.
I always loved this look...and the motorcycle bag.
Classy.
Finally purchased a fraggle rock vest last weekend. ManCandy cringed at the sight of it, but by the end of the night, he was petting me/it like a sheepdog. If that's wrong, I don't want to be right.
My inspiration for today. Work be damned, I don't want to brush my hair! Snow + wind = wellies and warm/furry jacket.
The perfect beach-sexy. Sunkissed wavy hair and bronzed skin.
I'm all about the "splash" of color. Call me boring, but I would much rather have an entire closet of black and white and and entire shoe rack/handbag hook of color, than wardrobe encompassing the rainbow.
Dear Prada, I will commit to a life of servitude and hard labor for the bag photographed above.

One of my absolute favorite looks....I love this photo of them and their ensembles.
I am of the school of fashion that believes leopard accents are chic.
I'm pretty much going to wear something like this tonight....it is absolute perfection.
Love her or hate her and her so-called "reality", she undeniably makes pretty terrible choices on clothing before she walks out the door. Ok, I get it....she's trying not to be all "Hollywood" and "laid back". Fine. But when "breezy" walks the line of were-you-dressed-by-a-blind-person, its time to check yourself.
This is the best thing she has ever worn.
Its ok.
Are you a distant cousin of Jessica Simpson?
Whoa. I don't know anyone who is fashionable enough to own a black shirt and jeans.
LBD & nude heels. Groundbreaking. In fact, I don't think anyone else knows that this is the basic recipe for looking slimming...you tricky devil you.
College girl uniform.
Common. Are you even trying?
