COMME des FUCKDOWN

When I finally got my hands on the "Comme Des Fuckdown" beanie a little over a month ago, I was pretty fkn excited! As a play on words from the fashion house Comme des Garçons I thought it was genius/hilarious. I posted it on my instagram as "fake, late on trend..." and it's true - it is an over-hyped, over-trendy, over-done piece that I was too late to hop on the bandwagon BUT, to be quite frank, I don't care. I love it so much. And when you love something...big, small, materialistic, characteristic, person, or place...it doesn't matter how others may view that. So I'll keep on truckin' the streets of my beloved Chicago offending some people, but hopefully making other people laugh.

Also, took the American flag Litas out - my mom hit the spot with this very early Christmas gift.

Meet the eyes behind the lens for 99% of my posts: my sister, Priscilla. Poor girl, she endures strange weather conditions, my constant looking at photos and telling her to re-shoot, and my inability to pose more than 3 facial expressions/body positions. She actually chose the outfit of this post in an efforts to let people see that I really do wear leggings and a t-shirt at home, and that I should feel comfortable enough to just throw on heels and a scarf to walk out the door. Would I really do it? Probably not, but just having her get me out of a comfort zone for a blog shoot is pretty awesome. I love her and never give her enough credit for making some of these posts happen. She's the reason I haven't invested in a tripod - even if we get into 20 billion arguments over what she thinks/I think is cool.

Also, pretty sure she was hating my guts when I started to use her as a coat rack.

THE Coat

Oh, hello there! Its been a while, huh? Work and  work parties picked up speed these past couple of weeks and after it all is said and done, all I want(ed) to do is sleep! But I'm back to talk about a purchase that I made a couple weeks ago that makes my heart sing - my new black winter coat! I saw it at Zara and fell in love and with little to no convincing from Fawn - I bought it. The wool, leather lapels and bigger silver zippers are such added bonuses to the fact that I just needed a black coat, and needed it bad. The cut is also really interesting, it has boxy symmetry going on (which makes it look a tad over-sized), and is definitely most accentuated when worn open. 

I seriously wear this with everything, everyday, from open to zipped up, with hats and most infamously with my bright Mexican poncho-inspired scarf (seen in last picture).

I hope everyone has found their own little gem to keep them warm!

I almost never do matchy match with stuff like this, but I thought I'd try it out. Hello muted colors!
