NEON KNIT

(Nanette Lepore Class Flirt knit dress or here, Rebecca Minkoff Buckled clutch, also loving this one & this, Tibi Amber high heel sandals, ASOS claw ring & spike stretch bracelet, also loving this one, OPI nail polish in Lucky, Lucky Lavender)

I actually bought this dress for my anniversary, which is coming up in July. And I have to say that for the first 2 weeks I was able to control the urge to wear it. Eventually it became more and more difficult to resist the temptation of neon pink stripes starring back at me every time I opened my closet. So, when Emil and I got invited to a friend's impromptu party, I suddenly found myself thinking that I have absolutely nothing to wear, except of course my new dress. Have you even noticed how that happens:)? So, I wore it, I am human after all, July is too far away and dresses like that are not meant to hang in closets unworn:)

P.S. I got a few emails asking me about my make up and specifically which products I use on my eyes and cheeks. Right now I am loving YSL Luxurious Mascara which creates the fullest and longest eyelashes ever and YSL Shocking Ink Eyeliner, because it stays on all day long and doesn't smudge. For cheeks I use Bobbi Brown blush in Apricot, because I am such a fan of this peachy pink shade, I also like to add a little bit of Bobbi Brown shimmer brick in Necktar over my blush for some added sparkle.

QUILTS & CAT EYES :: PHILLIP LIM MINUTE CLUTCH

(Helmut Lang Ember blazer, Elizabeth & James Benedict sunglasses, Again quilted leather skirt, Tibi Amber high heel sandals, 3.1 Phillip Lim Minute clutch, ASOS claw ring & spike stretch bracelet, also loving this one)

Wearing what is probably the most gorgeous leather skirt ever made. Quilts, leather and volume, yes please!!!! Since it's such a statement piece I wanted to keep the rest of the look simple, hence the mostly black outfit. See, I don't wear color all the time:) Ok, maybe I wear color a lot, but I do love black and white.

Another obsession of the moment is these black-on-black cat-eye sunglasses. Got them last week and can't stop wearing them. An instant dose of cool, love the way they mimic my exaggerated eye liner, cat eye makeup. Really, can they be any more perrrr-fect?:)

IKAT GIRL

(ThreadSence Ikat skinny jeans, Theory Lanai twill jacket, Rebecca Minkoff MAC clutch, Sandro silk top, Alexander Wang Noemi booties, ASOS claw ring & spike stretch bracelet, also loving this one)

This outfit is pretty much a perfect example of my everyday style: a pair of skinny jeans and a fitted blazer. The number of both items continues to grown in my closet constantly, but I figure, why now, I wear them to death:) What I've been doing lately, is buying denim and blazers in new colors and prints, well, new to me, that is:) Ikat has been on my radar for a while now, so when I spotted this soft and lovely version of the print, it was a no-brainer. Definitely my favorite pair of skinnies at the moment! 

P.S. Like my jeans? You can win them! ThreadSence is giving away a $100.00 Gift Card to shop at Threadsence.com! 

Open to US and International participants, all you need to do to Enter, is LIKE ThreadSence Facebook page by CLICKING HERE & comment on this post, as to which is your favorite outfit from SHOP LOOKBOOK Page.
