Favorite thing

I recently bought a new nail color and im IN LOVE. It's so pretty but it also feels really sophistacated and serious, which I like for making springy outfits seem more down to earth. I also love how versatile it is, if you use one coat its a purple-ish red and  if you use a second coat (as shown here) it makes a super deep, almost black red. I think this color is a perfect alternate to a plain black because its much more interesting but its not too flashy of bright.

What im totally lusting after

As we get further and further into spring my desire for summer clothing grows even stronger, i came across this darling summer dress and all i can say it im totally in love.
I could not love this dress more, i love how its so long and flowy but the fact that its sheer at the bottem keeps it flirty and adda an element of suprise. I also lovethe neck line which isnt tooo low but still leaves somthing to the imaganation.  My only issue, who wants to pay $79 dollars for a dress?

Cheap Kicks

I love reading fashion magazines, but to me nothing in more frustrating then seeing something you love only to find out that it costs 3,000,000 dollars. Below are some of my favorite clothes, shoes, accessories, cosmetics, and housing stuff all for under $25.
Some adorable things that feel like luxuries but all cost less then $25.
(Side note, I could not for the life of me figure out how to get pollyvore to post this so sadly the best I could do was a screen shot.)

bonafide beauty

This week my friend Anna of bonafideanna lent me her totally spectacular boots, which I am one hundred percent in love with. I wore them out a few nights ago and when I put them on I felt totally transformed into a new, more edgy me. I took some shots in my new persona and needless to say, I'm in love with these boots.
Anna's Boots are available HERE.

Music Spotlight


one example of lead singer Shingai Shoniwa's amazing style. 
So often it seems that fashion and music go hand in hand. Marc Jacobs had a live band at his fashion show, Madonna was the face of Louis Vuttion. Another thing they have in common is Shingai Shoniwa's (lead singer of The Noisette), mastery of both of them. I love their music especially their song Cheap Kicks, which is from their first album, Wild Young Hearts.

Inspired By Andy Worhol

Over my recent trip to Chicago I got to see an original Andy Warhol. It was to say in the least, inspiring. Here are some bold, colorful, and flirty peices that capture the same playful sophistacation of Andy Warlhol.Inspired By Andy Worhol

Chica Go-Go

I just got back from a short trip to Chicago (which I just realized spells chica-go!) and I was so inspired by the lovley architecture, the art in the modern museum, and just some of the street style there. Here are some of my favorote pics frome the trip.

Headbands

Heathkat's own,  Haley looks so cute in her "head band" which is actually a dish towel. I think there is somthing inevitably adorable about headbands, especially when paired, (as shown here) with a lip color that really pops! This look practically screams spring

Spring Jewls

As we enter srping my excitement for wearing spring peices is ridiculous. I love the idea of mixing over the top girly spring peices with boheamian inspried jewlery. These are some of my favorite peices right now:
 earings and hair clip: vintage
Necklace: from Israel
Ring: from Argentina
Bracelet: Locally made in madison 

Effy Inspired

This is a set I made on polyvore inspired by Effy from Skins. Skins is one of our favorite shows and not only is Effy my favorite character but a style influence as well. She goes for a bit of a grunge look. An example of an everyday Effy outfit would be a mini skirt, loose tee, fishnets, combat boots, and a leather motorcycle jacket.Effy Inspired
