did it once do it twice?

Poncho: Miu Miu. Long wool dress: Thrift. Jeans: Uniqlo. Boots: All Saints. Ski hat: JCrew. Bag: Thrift (DIY studded). Shades: Ray Ban. Crucifix: Fashionology.
F**king cold yesterday in Soho. Layered up with wool polo neck jumpers, winter leggings under jeans and (another) long dress. The poncho was a recent consignment find. I’ve been after a fringed one for a while. Remember?
The All Saints are my fave boots. Ever. Like a stranger who once told me that she wears the same boots into the ground, I’m doing it too. I should buy another pair and dye them in dark red or something.
What have you bought two of that you loved that much and do you even use them??

    Loving your layers! Inspired by your good self, one of my new year’s resolutions is to get DIY studding on my own bags and boots; yours always look fab. Do let me know any tips, yeah?

    Oh, and the boots rock: spotted many a London lass working that style =total shoe envy *sigh*
    Kisses!

    The booties I met you in! 🙂

    I bought two pairs of sneakers once in high school in 2 colors and never wore one of them, (because I didn’t want to smudge ’em) so i ended up giving them away to my cousin later on..

    love the bag; and buying another pair of boots and dyeing them would be great! I agree with the dark red or even a deep purple?

    And for me, I bought a simple pair of black converse high top chuck taylors. DESTROYED them to the point they were cutting the back of my ankles. Haven’t thrown them out though!

    you are definitely the queen of layering!

    and yay for the uniqlo jeans: i have a pair of uniqlo skinnies in grey and i’m so happy with them, I think I might buy another pair in black

    Absolutely love the poncho! It’s a little cold here in FL if you can believe it, 40 out, so I’ve been able to pull out my winter lovelies! I absolutely love my Levi 510 Super Skinny jeans. I wear them everyday, and I mean, everyday.

    I love how you layer your clothes! Your pictures are always amazing and I love those boots.

    I usually run most of my boots into the ground.

    I’m pretty bad about buying something and loving it and going back for more. The most recent are some black ankle boots I wear ALL the time. I went back and got 2 MORE pairs….another in black and a pair in light grey. So glad I did it! I wear the grey ones all the time but I’m saving the black ones for when I wear out the original ones.
    Great layering as always! At least the sun is out…..;)

    I think your hair really suits you curly, you carry it off really well. Seems to fit in with your personality!

  25. rosalita fashionista says:

    I love this outfit! the poncho is fab, and your boots look so wonderfully worn-in!

  26. redheadfashionista says:

    I bought some little lace-up booties from Topshop in brown a la Claire in The Breakfast Club, then in black. The black ones are so worn that the laces are breaking and the leather is stripping off the heels. The brown ones have never been worn 😛

  27. Allegra says:

    love that outfit. love your blog. just read your interview on LA Mimi. loved it!

  29. fadetoblack says:

    I love how stylish you look in the cold. I looked like the abominable snow-woman! LOL!

  32. HellOnHeels says:

    1st off, let me say you have WICKED style. In fact, I’m diggin it so much, I just may end up in China. And to answer your question, bebe had these silk/satin blend boyfriend blazers in black and dusty rose. I copped both. The black one gets a little more play in my rotation, but I plan on bustin out the dusty rose one with everything else in all black.
