Airplane pants

Forever 21 Sweats 

I know this a boring first post since my recent hiatus but I thought I'd ease into it. I've been so consumed in planning my trip to BA that I have neglected this ol' blog. However when I saw these chic sweats I got somewhat inspired to share. I think these pants would be perfect for my 14 hour flight to Buenos Aires, comfortable but still pretty chic if you pair them up with a denim jacket or blazer. 

I guess in bigger news after talking with my friends a lot about this blog I am going to switch things up a bit around here, just to have some organization so starting tomorrow I am going to try and take more outfit pics of myself and to have one day each devoted to streetstyle, accessories, dresses, and shoes. So happy late New Year, hope this one is the one that makes you happy.

Birthday Suit

I had a wonderful quiet birthday that ended in the Broadway tunnel. And this is my lazy day after post!

Plan on This

I don't know I think moleskin is a bit overrated and overpriced but when I saw this Weekly Planner (Amazon 13.99! Orginally 19.00) I was Obsessed and knew it would be perfect for my travels, especially the file pocket in the back and the extra page for noted next to each week because "to-do" lists are sort of my thing. I think a yearly planner is totally something you can splurge on because you have to look at every single day for an entire year and I think it makes a statement about yourself in many ways. Happy Christmas eve's eve and for your entertainment check out this link from the guy who does facehunter, he does an expose on Buenos Aires can we all agree we are jealous that this guy gets to travel to all these places?

It's Essential

The Essentials by purdythirty featuring rubber shoes

Bold Stripe Sweater, $20
Old Navy Womens Cropped Skinny Jeans, $30
Leatherette Zigzagging Oxford Flats, $30
Tan mini satchel, 25 GBP
Warm Ski Beanie, $3
Amazon.com: Casio Men's Dress watch #A168WG9: shopemco, $35
Maybelline Stiletto Mascara

So here is my "essentials" list for Fall/winter. I won't say much because the picture does most the talking but I will mention "Lash Stiletto Mascara" which my friend Jess introduced to me (she has a makeup artist buddy), I love it and it works wonders. I think these things can help build many-a-outfits, classic oxfords, check, nerdy cool watch, check. Also take note of my favorite jeans courtesy of Old Navy, super cheap and my favorite jeans I've has in a long time, I bought 2 in both colors when they were on sale for 15 dollars. What would be on your "essentials" list? Make a polyvore set and I'll share it on here :)

  
                                                        Leighton Meester Inspiration

Untitled by purdythirty featuring forever21 shoes

I've been getting a little into NYE wear. I can't exactly explain why, but NYE is so much more fun and eventful than Christmas especially this year since all my old gals pals are getting together for the last time in a while. Awwwww.


I'm not really into celebrity stylings, oh hell, I kind of am. This Leighton Meester look though is AMAZING she just looks perfect to me so here's my attempt to recreate it. The dress is ordered (f21 23.00) and on its way but the shoes are a dilemma! I wanted these ASOS wedges but shipping isn't guaranteed until the 7th! And if you aren't familiar of the date of NYE it's way before that! We'll see, we'll see but if you have any black wedge sightings under thirty let me please know please. I'm thinking black dress, black shoes, and those purple vintage hangy earrings from this post. I can already taste the champagne girls.

White Lies

                                                         White Lace Dress Macys $10.99

 

I know what your thinking, white in the winter! But just stop there, I think it can work and if it can't imagine its May and get over it because thats what I did. I bought this dress in 2 colors because it was so cheap and cute, but I have to be honest I think I may like the white one better. I imagine pairing it with brown shoes and a super simple gold necklace perfect for a BA balmy evening right? 

Sorry my posts have be sporadic I'm in a Holiday Haze, you know what I'm saying?

Ready for Combat

 

                                                         Dolce Vita for Target $27.99

                                                            

                                                        

                                                         

                                                  

Have you been informed of Dolce Vita designing for Target? I think they were released in the Fall so I suppose I'm a little late on this one but this normally pretty pricey brand designed a few AMAZING shoes like these tall combat boots and also a pair of studded oxfords. Almost all under 40 bucks which is quite good for a well designed shoe. My friend has a pair, the picture above and the photo on the Target website cannot do them justice, she pairs them with some skinny jeans and a tunic and viola, instant chic with an edge. 

In big blog news, my sister Emma and I are starting an Etsy shop that should be up and running by next Monday. We are going to design Vintage reworked clothing, making them contemporary and unique. Emma is sewing away as I type and I think you will love all the pieces which should all be under 30, more to come when the store opens.


Also you may have noticed my new lookbook.nu widget, I am now a lookbooker which is exciting, I believe you usually have to be invited but some glitch of a system allowed me woo! I'll be posting a look asap as possible and will let you know when I do.
