Hola! I finally got my hands on the Wildfox White Label Pfeiffer sweater about 2 months ago and thought that it was time to finally feature it on ma' blog. I can dress this bad boy up but decided to go for a super casual "comfy" throw-it-on-and-go look. This sweater is super baggy/oversized which makes for the perfectly awkward weather going on in Chicago. I also opted for this beautiful sky color instead of the black version because I wanted to step out of my zone a bit and am so happy with my decision. I made it slightly "less girly" by throwing on my cut-out pleather tights, Next time I wear it, I want to rock a dark vampy lip (like I did in an older blog post).
This is my 2nd Wildfox piece and I'm hooked - too bad my wallet isn't too fond of my latest obsession. PS - Watch the video version of this OOTD HERE!
I seriously cannot stop listening to my favorite people "Data Romance" and their fabulous CD "Other".
I've been having the weirdest time trying to balance work + life when I just want to go home and sleep at the end of the day; let's not even talk about how it takes me an hour to an hour and a half to go to work and the same time to come home...and that's with me living in the city. Born and raised in Chicago - whoopwhoop! And yes, the actual city.
Anyways, I've been in a lingering hiatus from updating my blog but I do update randomly but more frequently on Instagram. I'm a photo girl anyways and it's just easy to snap, upload and keep my day going.
Getting back into the swing of things is hard, but I have some exciting projects for this blog coming up and life in general seems to be taking unexpected twists and turns. So here's a little quick instarecap into what's been up.
If you want the synopsis without reading the end: shopping & eating.
2//Possibly my all time favorite boots that are filling the void of the Chloe's that I STILL WANT
3//My awesome Nike Dunk Sky Hi's that I got as a gift from da' best person eva
4//I bit the bullet and bought a Wildfox sweater and I'm not going to even think about the price...(yeah, even the sale price hurt a bit)
5//Before I bought the blue skeleton Wildfox sweater, I bought a fake Wildfox sweater lookalike (shipping was a bitch, and I definitely got it for $20)
6//New lipstick from MAC always make me so happy, it's the same one from my last post
7//Finally tried the Blue Print juice and I'm 50/50 about it - it did make me want to buy a juicer and just throw healthy looking things in there...worth the $10? NO
8//Scored 2 sweet UNIF tees at UO on sale from $70 t0 $20 ea. My love for UNIF has no limit.
9//I've been eyeing this hologram styled clutch by Deena & Ozzy since it hit the store but I forgot about it, went shopping and found it for $6 - it's online for a little bit more here
10//F21 pants that feel like PJs and only cost me $3 were such a great purchase - and yeah, I wore them to work
11//Wicker Park day dates that involve margaritas are the best kind
Let's face it...I buy a lot of sh*t and I haven't posted on here in a while, so I thought I'd do a post on some of the things I've purchased recently that are my favorites. I have so much more to shoot/blog about and more items coming in the mail any day now, but we can save that for another time. I'll also try to style some of these pieces in real outfit of the days and such. For now, here are some of the items of my materialistic habits - and they make me happy.
PS: Singing in the song actually starts at around the 18 second mark - enjoy!

Another collection I've been eyeballing. I've always loved the Wildfox brand because of their quirky clothes, amazing cuts and reinterpretation of styles. However, this is my first time looking into their White Label and I am floored. This collection is right up my alley and I want it all - the hair too! (even though its been done so many times for recent collections of other designers, I can't get enough) There are so many pieces, but I just chose some of the ones that I am dying to get my hands on - can we say birthday present(s)? A girl can dream, right? Enjoy!
