Off the Wall

October 25th, 2010

Zara Top and Skirt, Topshop Lipstick in Rio Rio, Essie Chinchilly Polish, Vintage Bracelets and Clutch, Michael Kors Watch, Elizabeth and James Margo

Since I’ve been so focused on decorating our apartment, I haven’t been clothes shopping in what seems like months.   Racks are now filled with chic capes, heavy knits and off-the-shoulder sweaters and for once, the weather in L.A. is cooperating perfectly.  I was only supposed to go window shopping, but ended up bringing home some basics like this pleated leather skirt and top from Zara and these Elizabeth and James lace-up booties.  Still on this season’s wish list: flat boots, plaid button-downs (like these) and a fantastic camel-colored coat.

    I so love that lace-up booties. This outfit is the most exciting black ensemble I’ve seen in months! You look pretty with your curly hair and that red lipstick. Beautiful!
