Today ( Oct. 10th & 11th, 2009) I'm wearing...

So it's been a lovely weekend in the city and it feels great to settle back into the old NYC habit :) Yesterday I met up with my good friend, Kara, for a sushi dinner and drinks and it was the perfect occasion to rock out my brand new Hot Topic heels!! They arrived yesterday and are even more magical than I could have ever dreamed. I opted for a streamlined ensemble to let the shoes take most of the focus and I looooved the way they looked with my black skinny jeans.

Sunday was one of those relaxing days that you wish would just go on forever. I went out for a lovely brunch at Bondi Road and finished up some pesky last minute errrands. Then it was off to the theater to see 'Paranormal Activity' (which I have to admit, was a definate dissapointment as far as horror flicks rate for all the hype it garnered...the next 'Blair Witch Project' my ass...). Still, it was a great day.

I was people-watching today and I couldn't help but take in the style that NYC has to offer. It's so inspirational to see what someone else's idea of fashion is and how they choose to express that to the world. It comes so organically to some that I find it fascinating...(sigh), just one of the many things I love about living in a city like this :]

As for my own style I went for a semi-casual yet polished look. I've been trying to find the perfect fashion item to balance out my gray zip-up dress and I liked the contrast of the black flat boots and green sweater jacket. I was comfortable for a day of running around the city yet I still felt edgy and fun :)

Saturday:

• Black Levi Skinny Jeans (Levis...ages old, I'm hoping that they will soon develop those fantastically delicious rips and holes that only come from constant wear and tear)
• Black v-neck (Forever 21...$4.50)
• Black faux-leather jacket (De'Janeiro...$20...from last season, yet it's only this year that I have been giving it the amount of attention that it deserves)
• Iron Fist graphic anime heels (Hot Topic...$14.99...pure magic in a shoe)

Sunday:

• Black flat knee-high boots (Garage Sale...$1)
• Gray zipper dress (Strawberry...$22...the perfect blend of simple and stylish)
• Green Sweater Jacket (Mr. Price in South Africa...100 rand = $14)
• Pink Confetti Sunglasses (Forever 21...$5.50)
• Brown woven satchel (Goodwill in TN...$6.99)
