Why do I always seem to pick the days where it is FREEZING cold outside. I'm not totally in love with this outfit, it didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it, but I decided to post them anyway so me freezing my butt off wasn't wasted.
The shoes I wore were a little tall for these pants since I've grown quite a bit since I first bought them so that bugs me a bit...but I enjoy the general look I was going for. I also decided to accessorize a lot more than usual with a snake necklace, turtle ring and some smaller rings I inherited from my mother/grandmother (I can't remember whose they were now...) One is a spoon ring, does anyone else have one of these babies? I LOVE them, they're made from old spoons and you can resize them easily. Its cool to think that my ring could potentially be from the early 1900s, sadly I don't know exactly what year it's from.
Sweater: Madewell via ShopBop gift card, Jeans: Mudd (circa ~2001), Coat: DKNY $75, Watch: Michael Kors, Purse: Mulberry won from The Flower Girl, Clog Sandals: Target $12, Cobra Necklace: Vanessa Mooney won from Sterling Style, Turtle Ring: Forever 21 $5, Other Rings: used to be mom's/grandma's
And here is a blooper shot from when I was trying to get a shot of my rings, but I like it anyway.
Aaaand here is where I sit every morning before work. I get up at 7am and comment on blogs until I'm ready to get dressed or take outfit pictures. Then I leave for work at 8:20, so I pretty much spend an hour doing blogging stuff instead of sleeping in. See what I do for you guys? :p

Today I thought I would share with you some of my current lusts. Many of these pieces are way out of my price range, and some I would never be able to wear, but that doesn't stop me from drooling over them. I am TOTALLY in love with the black, high-waisted Balmain skirt...it is perfection. What are your current lusts?
It's funny looking at how diverse all of these pieces are. But that's true to my style, I'm a little bit of everything. Girly, edgy, quirky, serious, fun, etc. What I wear really depends on what mood I'm in or what I'm doing, I always love to switch things up. I hate when people think you have to stick to a certain style, that's not what fashion is about. I think fashion is about playing, taking risks and wearing what you want no matter what other people may think. I may be a super shy person who doesn't talk much, but I feel like when I get dressed it is how I express myself.

My favorite television show, BBC's Merlin, is finally back on in the USA for it's 4th season and Friday was the second episode. [it airs Friday at 10 on SyFy for those of you that want to watch] I can barely look away from the tv when it's on, which is a rare feat... I could have watched it along with the folks in the UK, but I prefer to watch it legally, ha ha. So if you watch it and have seen the full 4th season DON'T SPOIL ME! :p Do you watch Merlin?
I have been obsessed with this show since the first episode aired for a few reasons 1. I love the King Arthur legend, 2. The boys are cute and 3. The clothes the girls wear! Since this is a fashion blog I should probably show you the pretty clothes (and perhaps a few of the handsome gents as well)
Katie McGrath plays Morgana and Angel Coulby plays Gwen. Sorry for the photospam, couldn't pick my favorites...
And here are some of the sexy gentlemen [my favorite 3]: Merlin (Colin Morgan), Arthur (Bradley James) and Gwaine (Eoin Macken).
And as some added cuteness the little boy who is in Hugo was in the show:

This was a pretty boring week as usual. The highlight was my crazy hair on Monday that deflated by Tuesday (I wash my hair every other day) I was also invited to The Woman in Black World Premiere on the 24th (as press for my Harry Potter site since Dan Radcliffe is in it) but sadly it's in London so I got a correspondent. [I'm saving my next London vacation for if/when WB invites me to the opening of the Harry Potter Studio Tour in March]
In other news, I think I need glasses. My eyes have been getting progressively worse these past few months meaning a lot more squinting and blurry vision. They were killing me this week, I went to bed at 8:15 on Wednesday because of it...NOT GOOD! But if I do end up needing them I may have to splurge on these awesome Chanel glasses (or these,) except I have no idea what they cost...hopefully not $600, ha ha.
I think I need to work out a purse system. Perhaps every week I'll switch between my Mulberry and Marc by Marc Jacobs purse. Then weekends are for my Ralph Lauren purse...it's so easy to switch shoes but purses require more work, ha ha. And I am kinda in love with my outfit on Wednesday, it's basic but I think I look pretty darn foxy! ;)
