I am so happy that chains, studs, and hardware trend is still cool because that’s totally my kind of trend. The more hardware something has, the better. With that being said, you know I am excited about Cecilia De Bucourt’s newest pieces on Manhattanite. They are like the epitome of tough-girl-sexy-chic.
I am drooling over the endless possibilities that the Square Stud Vest in Grey Tie Dye has to offer. It’s the perfect addition to the simplest outfit. Jean + tee shirt + vest = boom, you’re done and you’re awesome too. You could also slip it over a little black dress and then add a boyfriend blazer on top of that for a unexpected masculine/feminine mash-up.
If you are the going out type of girl, then you may want to invest in the Dripping Chains Top. You can totally go all crazy with it by pairing it with shorts-shorts and thigh high boots (I did say crazy). Or you could keep it clean with a basic pair of black skinny jeans and heels. Either way, you can’t really go wrong.
I have always found it difficult to spend money on cut-off shorts. Every time I was faced with the opportunity to purchase a pair I would think to myself “why spend money when I could just make a pair myself.” Then I would leave the store, go home, and perform fashion surgery on a pair of my own jeans. Without fail, I would mess them up. Every single time. Sure I went to college for fashion design and should be able to successfully amputate a pair of jeans, right? Wrong. Apparently.
Every single time I get a little extra cash, I tell myself that I am going to put it towards a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. Well, that never happens. Either I get smart and decide that I shouldn’t spend hundreds of dollars on shoes or I have to pay one of those pesky bill things.
