Bows in Her Hair

Hello there,

I have been really inspired by the whole 50's vibe recently; peter pan collars, feminine touches like bows or ruffles. I love it all. And really. Sometimes there is nothing better than a gigantic hair bow. Ask Minnie Mouse.

Outfit Details: bow- vintage, blouse- urban outfitters, jeans- American Eagle, shoes- ?

As always,

Je ne me soucie pas si le ciel est gris

Hello there my dear readers,
I am sorry I haven't posted in a couple of days, but I am on a vacation this week with my family. However, from here on out I will attempt to post more regularly.

Outfit Details: top- thrifted, pants- H&M, boots- ?, belt- thrifted

I have been wearing this brown leather belt essentially every day for the past week. It is the perfect belt- flexible, with enough notches to be fastened both at my hips and my waist. It adds the perfect polish to any outfit, while simultaneously holding my pants up. I highly recommend scouring your local thrift shop for a belt, it is well worth the minimal cost.

Have a lovely weekend,
Lloyd

The Wolves (Act 1 & 2)

Hello there my readers,
Anyone who hasn't heard the song my title is referencing should really look into changing that.

I give you a simple outfit, spiced up with two interesting elements: puffy sleeves and a vintage scarf. I was not so sure about the puffy sleeves of this cardigan at first, but they're highly comfortable, and they make me feel like a character in a Shakespeare play, (Which I suppose could be very good or bad depending on which character and which play.) The second item I found this past weekend at a thrift store. Rule of thumb- you can never go wrong with a good scarf.

Outfit Details: jeans- free people, shirt- borrowed, cardigan- anthropologie, scarf- thrifted, shoes- converse

Happy Monday!!!

P.s. Since I have last posted, I got bangs! I was inspired by all the other fashion bloggers out there. So what do you think? Yay? Nay?

New York Part II

Hello readers,
I bring you more of my trip to New york:




While it was bitterly cold, I greatly admired anyone who managed to still display a sense of style. Trends I noticed were brightly colored coats and Elmer Fudd-esque knit hats with ear flaps. Above I managed to catch a picture of some lovely ladies all sporting red coats. ( I still cannot believe I found them all at once.)


I wish I could have gotten a picture from the front of the young man above with the duffel bag. He had pale skin, a strong jaw, and bright red hair which he set off with the dark colors of his peacoat, jeans, and circle scarf. While I only glimpsed him momentarily, I could tell that he had a very simple yet elegant style as shown in his black leather boots and the way he could carry a duffel bag.



The people above reminded me of an American Eagle ad with their coordinated hats and furry coats. (click here for photos from their winter look book.)



I then went to see the musical Finian's rainbow which was incredible. If anyone is in to musical theater- I highly suggest you see it. The plot was a bit bizarre but the music was very powerful and truly unique. the actors were incredible, and there was not a single dud in the role.






And then the snowstorm hit.

Outfit Details: boots- doc martens stockings- Ann Taylor, skirt- thrifted, shirt- forever 21, blazer- vintage, scarf- H&M, jacket- H&M

These are some very poor quality pictures of what I wore. Although I was wearing merely stockings on my legs (without even leggings underneath) I was very toasty because of my doc martens which have the incredible power to protect my feet from all the cold and wet that snow involves.

I hope your holidays have been lovely so far,
-Lloyd

New York Part I

Hello there,
I recently went to New York with my family for a brief vacation. I tried to post while I was there, but the Internet was all wonky, and refused to allow me to do anything I wanted. However I have many photos and stories for you all, so I hope you enjoy the sights.

We took a very long train ride up


I read the new yorker Magazine



We walked past Times Square on our way to dinner. It is one of the few places in the world where I can appreciate the beauty of the man-made. The incredible number of lights and people never fails to amaze and overwhelm me. There is truly no place in the world like New York City.

Outfit Details: Vest- vintage, shirt-borrowed, pants-borrowed, boots- Nine West

Merry Christmas to all!
