Baby I'm a Rockstar

Baby I'm a Rockstar

From time to time I love to channel my inner Rihanna. She is my current favorite style icon (I even dressed as her for Halloween) and I love her rockstar vibe. The other day my fiancé and I went out to run errands and I decided on this outfit. I recently got the bag from Gilt and pretty much designed my outfit for the day around it. The dress is from Roni - the boutique I previously mentioned that my sister and I went and spent way too much money one weekend (and haven't gone back since). We bought the same dress too - we loved it so much. I don't get to wear it often, but when I do, I love to pair it with different accessories. Since it's black and white, I can dress it up pretty much any way I want. And I love the neck - it's a large, drawstring cowl that can also be worn as a hood. So versatile.

I think I look a bit demented in this picture but I feel like it works well with the outfit. What do you think?

I wanted this bag for months and finally got it on sale at Gilt! But because of the unique shape, it's pretty difficult to zip shut. But I just love the way it looks!

My fiancé suggested this shot of me leaning on his car. I thought it would look a bit 'men's magazine'-ish but it actually came out looking pretty tasteful!

Here Comes The...

Here Comes The

This past weekend I attended my cousin's bridal shower. The dress code was semi-semiformal and I didn't have time to shop for something so I searched my closet for something appropriate. I decided to take out this dress (one of many little black dresses in my closet) for a spin.

I got it from Roni NYC - a great boutique that my sister and I discovered and dropped some serious cash in one weekend. The boutique features a collection of brands, along with the owner's designs, like this Roni dress. I love the scalloped edges, which can be worn conservatively (with a tank underneath) or sexily (no tank).

Since my hair was not cooperating I piled on some funky accessories to draw attention away from that! This chunky necklace is from H&M and was a great find that I love to wear.

Hi and welcome! I'm Monie. I've loved fashion for as long as I can remember, ripping out pages of Vogue as a child, to hang on my wall for fashion inspiration. I love styling, designing, and discovering new and unique things. And I love shopping, photography and writing so you'll get a taste of all three of those interests (and more) through this blog. Looking forward to sharing my fashion finds with you!
