New York feels like a pseudo summer this weekend, just in yellow and orange. I wore some old thigh high socks with wood wedges (you saw me wear them with flares here).
The reversible poncho is my fastest add to basket/checkout purchase and it’s from NastyGal. I LOVE this!! It’s cool over jackets or coats or as is over a dress or…. anything really. I love how long and swingy it is so it’s a bit more dramatic.

  71. Califabulous says:

    you have AMAZING style. It’s almost quirky but not really. i love it. I just found your site. the first time I saw a pic of you, you had on this bangin’ vibrant lipstick and I wanted to know what it was. well I found out, found the lipstick-thanks to your lovely detailed labels-and now I have a lit’le London inspiration! xo..

  72. Janice says:

    I confess I wanted to buy it but it was sold it – so I couldn’t believe it today walking past Urban Outfitters and saw an almost identical one in the window!! Grabbed it straight away in a grey leopard print! Can’t wait to wear it! x
