You're Out Of My League

(Christian Louboutin- Very Riche Nude Strass heels. Approximately $4,000)

It's one of those late nights where I cant help but be distracted by the urge to write about something. With a nasty case of writers block plaguing me for the last few days, I found myself seeking solace in the television. One would think with hundreds of channels, I could find something to entertain myself but there are only so many re-runs of Millionaire Matchmaker a girl can watch. That's when I came across the comedy flick, "She's Out Of My League" and it had me thinking about things that are, well, out of my league. You can scan pages of magazines and browse the sales section of Blue Fly, but with a very average household income, how many people can really justify purchasing a pair of $2,000 shoes that are on the current path to trendiness? Don't get me wrong, I love a good trend, no matter how ridiculous it may be, but is my refusal due to future un-trendy circumstances or just cause I can't technically afford it? Given my current income, I can justify buying a pair of classic Louboutin's in say, nude or black, by telling myself that they will always be in style. Now, what about the classic Louboutin that's strassed in rhinestones? Would you buy them if you could, or are they just essentially out of your league? 

Sweatshirt Chic

This Fall/Winter I've been living in sweatshirts. Be it American Apparel, DIY bejeweled or in this case, a five dollar Wal-Mart find. It is just way to cold to sport anything other. 

Smoking Sessions

I am not a smoker. Never was, never will be. To be perfectly honest, the smell of cigarettes makes me panic as if the stench will follow me everywhere. But realistically (and shamefully), I have a strange fascination with those dreaded tobacco sticks. I have no desire to smoke one, but to hold one in my hand whilst being photographed. Sounds silly, huh? Well, I think so too. I blame it on those gorgeous, old Hollywood actresses. 

Most versatile purchase of 2012: The Sheer Maxi Skirt

I know I'm a little late on the "best of 2012" bit, but I've been extremely busy in the first two weeks of this new year! With that being said, I give you the most versatile purchase I made in 2012. It's funny, cause I buy certain things telling myself, "oh, I'll probably never wear this, but it's cute so I'll get it anyway." It's those types of purchases that I end up wearing constantly. This sheer maxi skirt from H&M has been my saving grace for last year and I couldn't be happier with my choice in spontaneity. I've literally worn it every which pay possible and I truly believe there is still an endless amount of stylish possibilities. Below are just a few examples of how I've worn the skirt in different types of weather and situations.
