pattern play & mixed metals

Feels good to be back blogging! First of all, thanks to Sarah Pelham for graciously lending us her camera temporarily-- the pictures turned out great.

I decided one of my new years resolutions is to always pick the riskier option when it comes to fashion (and start actually working out, but we know that's probably never going to happen). Why not start with something simple, like jewelry?  Mixing gold and silver is generally a no-no, but the subdued metallic hue of my t-shirt coupled with vibrant gold accessories prove to be nothing but complimentary.  Add embroidered jeans (a la Isabel Marant 'Renell'), and already I feel as if I've stepped outside of my comfort zone. 

My obsession with nail polish has subsided-- albeit slowly-- only to be replaced by my obsession with lipstick.  Darker shades have been heavily emphasized this season, fueled by the emergence of the unnecessarily ostentatious term, 'oxblood', to describe a simple shade of maroon.  MAC 'Media', a rich, red-plum matte, is incredibly versatile, as it can be worn with clothing of various color palettes.

I am wearing an Urban Outfitters top (similar), Urban outfitters jacket, Urban Outfitters jeans (similar), Dolce Vita 'Java' booties, Tobi necklace (similar), Anarchy street bracelet c/o David, Etsy ring, Gorjana & Griffin ring c/o David, Diesel watch, MAC 'Media' lipstick

XO, In
