Reasons why I love this long shawl cardigan from American Apparel

Message:
A)  Its light  enough for the spring
B)  Comfy enough for the winter
C)  Hobo Chic
D)  Did I mention that it's super comfy?

Decorative collars are huge for spring! I love how this accessory  adds a little bit of pop to your look. It makes people raise their eyebrows ... in a good way ofcourse. I justed ordered one from ROMWE.

 Faux Fur Jacket: H&M
 Thigh High Boots: Steve Madden
 Tights: lululemon

An essential staple that I feel all women and dandies MUST posses is a fur jacket  faux fur  (we don't want to accumulate bad karma).  Whenever I'm feeling blah I put on one of these bad boys and... instant rock star!

Dress: Club Monaco
Bangle: H&M

Firstly, I want to wish you all a very bright and fabulous 2012! I wanted to do this post on New Year's but my internet was down, so I haven't been able to make posts for two whole weeks. As part of my resolution I plan to update this blog a lot more often...Wish me luck.

Blouse: TopShop
Dress: Club Monaco

I hope you all had yourselves a very Merry Christmas. This was my outfit for the 25th of December inspired by Oscar De La Renta S/S 2012. I bought the embroidered net blouse from TopShop in 2010 Summer on a trip to London. The Canary yellow dress is from Club Monaco.

Black Power Shoulder Top : Zara
Necklace: Kasu Mala (Tamil)/ Translation: Money Garland
The Kasu Mala is a beautiful South Indian piece of jewelery traditionally worn in Barathanatyam dance performance.

Today I had two events to go to with only 30 minutes in between to change.  I had to think of a quick way to spice up my look. I frantically looked around and saw the necklace gleaming at me, and ...VOILA! Since I was already mixing up my outfit with the traditional necklace I decided to also incorporate a retro pin-up to add some pizzazz to my hair.  

What do you think ?

I've been a good girl so Santa Baby, hurry down the chimney tonight! 2011 has definitely been a chaotic year for the world. I'm a bit torn because for Christmas, I should really be wishing for something like  love and equality amongst mankind. Truth is, I just made myself what one would argue a super shallow wish-list... Oh well, I'll just tell myself that the above items are essentials for my artistic/creative journey :P.
