Hi friends! I was really happy to be a part of MarketPlace India’s Autumn/Winter Catalog. They loaned me a Vani Drawstring Jacket to style in a fall look and I was thrilled at their selection because the great neutral gray tones of this jacket totally lends itself to lots of color combinations. (jacket-marketplace india; scarf-thrifted via beacon’s closet; jeans-thrifted via housingworks; shoes-thrifted via buffalo exchange; bag-omybag) Tee hee…so fun to see myself in print :D.

So friends, you may have seen my penchant for gold, well my love of metallics does not stop there!

I think adding a little metallic is an easy way to add edge and modernity into an outfit. Something about wearing metal as clothing is straight up hot… View Post
