We Love Colors

Tulle Dress: Eli Tahari, Tights: We Love Colors, Shoes: Via Spiga

These gorgeous tights were given to me from the amazing tights brand We Love Colors! I love the bold red hue so much. I haven't been able to find the perfect shade of red tights for quite a while so I was so excited when We Love Colors said they were sending me a pair in Scarlet Red. I am lusting over the material as well. It's soft and a little thicker, perfect for the chilly days. I paired these with my tulle Eli Tahari dress and a black blazer. I cannot wait to wear this tulle dress again in the Spring time because it really looks angelic in the sun! And I love how tulle is coming back in a big way, with all the new Rodarte dresses floating about! :)

I also want to thank you all for the great feedback on my blog. It makes me really happy to post and share my style! Thank you!
Have a happy NEW YEAR!

Cream Pie

Coat: Vintage, Silk Tank: Nellie Partow, Cardigan (underneath): Vintage, Shorts: Lux, Shoes: Via Spiga

I've been keeping warm in this beige vintage coat! It's not heavy at all, really lightweight wool, perfect for layering. Plus, it's made in France which is an A+ in my book! And check out the buckles on my new shoes which I love love love. They've got that platform I've admired in the shoes of Marni and Chloe! Also, I've had these tuxedo shorts from Urban Outfitters for aaaaaaages and are still one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe. These are just a few of my winter staples!

Here you can read my INTERVIEW with Autumn Sij of Corrider40, a really amazing fashion and culture blog based out of St. Louis. Thank you again Autumn for the feature and kind words, I really appreciate it!

Have a great week! Only a few more days till New Years! So exciting :)

Behind the Lens

Silk Blouse: Vintage, Furry Vest: Forever 21, Trousers: Bebe, Belt: Vintage, Booties: Stefane Kelian, Sunglasses: Chloe

How amazing are these Chloe sunnies?! The perfect little piece that really made the whole look that much better. Since my face is quite small, they are really oversize and that's what I love about them! Also, I am currently wearing this faux fur vest over just about anything. I can't believe I've waited so long to get my hands on one of these things! I love it so much! Fur & big sunnies equals crazy cool. I was all ready to celebrate the holidays this season! Speaking of which, I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas. Mine was filled with yummy food, time with the family, and sitting through lots and lots of great movies! I loved it! The holidays still aren't over, we've still got New Years! Enjoy the best time of the year! :)

I made another collage as well! I love the lighting in all these photographs, so beautiful!

Work

Just a few shots of some of my latest work, this lookbook for Elaine Kim. I really love how simple the collection is. Lots and lots of leather, my favorite. Soft sheer cashmere. Very straight hair and nude basic brown makeup. Chic and casual! I think now I will start posting some of my work as well as continuing the outfit posts! I hope you like it! More work on the way! :)


HAPPY HOLIDAYS! :)

The Sea Changes Color

Sweater: Elaine Kim, Jeans: Citizens of Humanity, Combats: Vintage, Sunglasses: Vintage, Bag: Vintage

So my latest obsession is this cashmere sweater by Elaine Kim. I did a shoot for her latest collection last week and also got to keep a few of her pieces as I promised to blog about it! How cool is the bold shoulder!? The lightweight cashmere is sheer but still keeps me really warm. It's a bit cropped too, which I love. Showing a sliver of tummy won't hurt anyone! A really cool unique piece that makes a jeans and sweater combo not so plain. So I was out and about trying to find some Christmas gifts for my family, but I couldn't find the perfect gifts. I'm still on the lookout! And my phone has been acting funny lately, hard to scroll and not showing who is calling, but I think it's beginning to go back to normal hopefully!

Have a great rest of your week! :)

Fuzzy

Dress: H&M

So I just bought this dress at H&M down at the South Coast Plaza. Was a fun little drive out of LA. I know almost everyone and their mom's have seen and at least tried on one of these fuzzy little creatures from H&M and either love it or hate it. It was 50% off, so I had to get it! And it keeps me incredibly warm. I should be shopping for summery clothes since I'll be in Asia next month, but this dress was super cheap! Perfect for the holidays... and as a gorilla costume for next Halloween! hahaahha i'm not kidding. (i'll get a better pic of the dress next time i wear it!)

And I did go to the Revolve Party this weekend, bringing my sister along. The store is amazing and really nice. I got to meet up with the other LA bloggers from the shoot( Tiffany Borland and Olivia Lopez), and the whole Revolve crew. Also, I finally got to meet up with Anna Bu, model and blogger from Germany! She is here for a few months for modeling which is so exciting. She's so down to earth and has incredible vintage style. Check out her blog! Sorry I didn't take pictures, it was raining cats and dogs so I completely forgot and was just trying to get there in one piece. People here drive horribly in the rain, I tell ya!

Mr. Alex Wang

Top: Vintage, Trousers: Dolce & Gabbana, Shoes: Alexander Wang, Belt: Vintage

So my Alexander Wang shoes arrived so quickly, I was surprised. They are from his Resort 2010 collection . I love how they are styled in the lookbook. These shoes actually look a lot better without tights, that way you can see the shape, so I might have to keep them stored away till Spring since it's getting so chilly now with the rain and all! They are very high and so fun to walk in! These photos were taken a few days ago. I am wearing them with my favorite high waisted trousers and white lace vintage top. I've worn this top so many times, it's been on wear, wash repeat lol and is still in great shape. White lace, instead of black, is refreshing and different.

I have been busy working this week, so I am excited to just stay in tonight, wrapped in a blanket, and watch the movies we have rented!

Enjoy the collage I made filled with beautiful people and have a fantastic weekend! :)

REVOLVE & LOOKBOOK.NU Style Guide

Here are the photos for the REVOLVE & LOOKBOOK.NU Winter 2009 Style Guide! The shoot was so much fun because I got to go through all of Revolve's amazing clothes and create my own looks. It's fun being the model and the stylist, especially when all my favorite designer clothing is involved! The theme to the shoot was "LA DOLLS." I love all the quirky details, like the bunny ears, colorful hats, and fun makeup. Thank you Revolve, Lookbook.nu, and everyone involved with the shoot!! Everyone was so sweet and I had an awesome time shooting in the Revolve Studios.

CLICK HERE to watch the video, SHOP the looks, and see the full Style Guide including looks styled and modeled by the other girls also on Lookbook.nu, Stephanie, Olivia, and Tiffany! I hope you the result as much as I do!

Also, if you are in the LA area, you must come to the party launching the Style Guide! This Saturday, the 12th, on Melrose. Details on the invite below. It is open to anyone and I will definitely be there. It will be lovely to meet you all!

Rained In

Blazer: Express, Tank: Nellie Partow, Trousers: Bebe, Jewelry: Vintage, Round Ring: Elena Cruz



So I was rained in today, and freezing! I did go out for a while to run some errands around town and stuff. Here I am inside my house, barefoot lol! I was given this top from Nellie Partow, amazing new designer from New York. It's a simple silk racerback tank, but the ruffles in the front make it unique and very ballerina-like. The color sort of reminds me of Chloe, so I had to wear trousers and a blazer, you know, because I was so Chloe inspired! I feel so put together for once haha! But I did wear this with my beat up combat boots when I went out in the rain, total opposite to the rest of my look, but it worked.






I just bought these Alexander Wang shoes online and I cannot wait till they arrive! I was about to get the booties, but realized I don't have anything much like this style with the ankle straps. Perfect to wear with tights for winter, and bare during spring and summer!

And how awesome are the new Alex Wang sunnies?? I loveee the cat eye, my fave sunglasses shape. Can't wait to try a pair on! Also, two of my favorite looks from his Pre-Fall 2010 collection! His stuff is looking soo soo good! :)









Enjoy your week!

Gloomy Daze

Silk Blouse: Vintage, Blazer: Forever 21, Shorts: Silence + Noise, Flats: Vintage Salvatore Ferragamo

It was sooo gloomy today with only bits of sunshine. And tomorrow is probably going to rain. I usually like this weather, but ughh, I need some sun, I'm getting a little pale haha! So this vintage blouse is a little hand me down gift from my sister. I love it! Anything silk makes me happy lol! And Ferragamo flats are my favorite, don't think I can wear any other type. I'm on the look out for a vintage pair in black, but they are so hard to find! They are so classic and the bow is so girly, a nice contrast to the rest of my wardrobe.

If the weather clears up, I'll be heading out and about. If not, I'll probably stay bundled up indoors to stay warm!

Random Fact: I have a new favorite song, "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin! I've been listening to their songs religiously now, in the car, everywhere. I can listen to "Stairway to Heaven" beginning to end over and over, the end is the best! Love them and I never get tired of hearing their songs!

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend!! :)

Laid Back Layers

Plaid Top: Vintage, Cargo Jacket: Kenneth Cole, Jeans: Joe's Jeans, Booties: Zara

Yay, it's officially the weekend! Wahoooo! This is what I wore yesterday. I have been looking for a worn in green cargo jacket with the faux fur inside forever! And I just happened to find the perfect one while I was thrift shopping. And it's Kenneth Cole, practically new, and only cost $10! Keeps me so warm, I'm obsessed! Paired it with my vintage plaid top, favorite blue/black jeans, and new booties :))

I hope everyone has an awesome and relaxing weekend! Will probably hitting the streets tomorrow, more thrift shopping and what not. Can't wait! And thank you for all the lovely comments, I do read them all!

xoxo, Natalie

Don't Upset the Rhythm

Coat: Vintage, Tank: Bebe, Cardigan and Jeans: BDG, Booties: Zara

I'm now a huge fan of The Noisettes and their song, "Don't Upset the Rhythm," ever since seeing them perform at the Teen Vogue party. I'm listening to it right now! Anyways,I almost completely forgot I had this coat, it's been hanging in a separate room with all my other winter jackets all year. The weather is getting overcast and should be raining by the end of this week, so I think I will be grabbing stuff from that closet more often now! And I just found my old TopShop charm bracelet that I got a few years ago in Malaysia,it brings back so many fun memories. I cannot wait to head back there and to Singapore next month! I'll definitely be hitting up TopShop again :)

And I'm loving the personal style of Model of the Moment, Karmen Pedaru. So effortless and cool.I love all the fur, leather, and tiny shorts she wears. She always looks flawless, so I gathered a few of my favorite snapshots of her! Hope you like it!



I cannot believe tomorrow is already Thursday. The days and weeks are going by sooo fast, it's insane. I think I will be taking it easy and just try to make the days feel longer! The fact that it gets dark so early now doesn't help either lol!
