shop the special Valentine’s Day sale items here!

the time has come the walrus said… and we’re so sad to see them go! select Mr. Kate jewelry pieces are on sale NOW! sale ends 1/31/12 so hurry and snag them before they’re all gone! shop now!

just call me Rooty McGee cuz i know, i need a touch-up but sometimes i like rockin’ the rooty look!

i stumbled upon this shirt in the bowels of my closet. i got it last year from Topshop in NYC. it’s winter white (screw that Labor Day rule) and has birds on it and mini shoulder pads, which i can’t get enough of – these American Apparel shirts have them too (worn here) – they’re so cute, i just want to spread some jam on them and eat ‘em like a mini muffin!

these skinny jeans are from ASOS’ Petite line and they fit amazingly! if you’re of the munchkin persuasion, like myself, i highly recommend them. they come in a bunch of colors but i particularly liked this scrumptious shade of mustard.

- ASOS jeans, Topshop top, Steve Madden boots, all Mr. Kate jewelry including the Rosé Pussy Willow Nut Rosary -

i did this asymmetrical braided ponytail hair-do when i went to the Free People event a couple weeks ago – see more pics here.

Do It:

my hair was dirty and messy to start out so i used the body and texture i already had going on to dictate where i put the braids.

1. part your hair on the side.
2. choose random locks to braid in messy braids – i got the wavy/messy braid look by using the ‘drawstring’ technique i do in this video. basically you just pull on one section of the braid and scrunch up the other two to make it look messy and wavy.
3. connect some of your mini braids with bobby pins on one side of your head.
4. gather all of your hair in a low ponytail to one side at the nape of your neck – choose the side opposite to the part. use an elastic to seal your ponytail.
5. take a piece of hair from your ponytail and wrap it around the elastic to camouflage it and make it look like your own hair is what’s holding the ponytail together. secure the end of the wrapped strand with a bobby pin underneath your ponytail. sometimes it helps to anchor the bobby pin by also sliding it over part of the elastic so there’s more bulk to secure.

done! let me know if you have any questions!

outfit: – ASOS platforms, American Apparel tights, Forever 21 skirt, random melrose ave. find slouchy shirt, all Mr. Kate jewelry and lipstick by MAC in ‘Ruby Woo’ -

wore this outfit to meet with kate today… i’ve gone into my mother’s closet once again and come out with this skirt by dick & jane.

shirt – black c&c tank top with a black and white striped shirt from the melrose trading post.

jewelry – dreamcatcher  lattice ring by mr.kate

boots – vintage

freckles + knees.

this is the outfit i wore to the Fashion’s Night Out event at A.sweeT this past thursday… there are definitely some Autumn/Winter 2011 fashion trends sprinkled throughout this outfit…

spot the trends:

polkadots (tutu)
color forms (top and hair)
collage prints (shoes)
rose gold (Mr. Kate Rosé collection)

but in really-real life, i never subscribe to trends, i just wear what i love! and i happen to love all of the above trends so how-darn-handy that they happen to be “in” right now. these Luxury Jones boots are my new obsession, i will be wearing these a lot! i posted more about them and their DIYable-ness here.

let me know if you guys like this braid/colored hair extension hair-do and i’ll do a tutorial!

- Luxury Jones boots, Forever 21 tutu and socks, American Apparel top, Mr. Kate jewelry, gel manicure and colored hair extensions -
