Faux leather and lace

Every few days, seasons, years, whatever.... I have a new favorite type of fabric I love to wear.  For awhile now it has been lace and faux leather.  I love the cute, femininity of lace and the rough and tuff edge look of faux leather/real authentic leather.  Together it makes an awesome combination. (black on black on black, of course!)





I picked up this lace-front top with a faux leather collar at Target.  Target is always collaborating with different designers and the designer they have featured there at this time is Prabal Gurung.   Prabal Gurung was born in Singapore, raised in Nepal, and now resides in the lovely NYC.  He launched his  first collection under his own name during NYFW in 2009.  He is known for big celebrities wearing his designs like the beautiful Zoe Saldana, Demi Moore, and our first lady Michelle Obama.  I love how his collection range from dark tones to bright colors and always make a statement!


There are many ways you can put together this black lace front top.  You can pair it with a pair of liquid black leggings or even dark denim jeans (high waisted, skinny, whatever fits your style) wedges, booties, ANYTHING.  You can even go wild with accessories.  Maybe add a solid gold or silver collar necklace, or even spiked accessories to give it even more of an edge.  Check out his collection at Target here!



Here are some pieces from the Spring 2013 collection:





And here is a video of Prabal Gurung's Spring 2013 line.  Enjoy.

You can see me now.


Camo is one of the most popular trends right now and personally I love it!  


I picked up this lovely camo jacket (that I've been searching for, for forever!) in the men's section at the local Salvation Army in my town for $5! (See, I told you that you can find awesome treasures in the men section)


I love how camo is so versatile and I can either dress it up.....


or dress it more casual with a pair of leggings, a denim top, and studded boots!

You're the b-b-b-bomb.

Happy Saturday everyone!  This week has been a hectic one for me but that didn't stop me from posting my favorite thrift find of the week. (I wish I could say it's been hectic because of NYFW but yeah, no).  Here is the vintage leather bomber jacket I found and absolutely love!



I added a few pins to add a touch of my own style. (also thinking about adding a couple of patches)




What I am wearing: Thrifted vintage leather bomber jacket | Tank top from H&M | Tights from a halloween store | Pins from H&M and thrifted | Boots from Cotton On

Introduction To: Favorite thrift find of the week.

Happy February!  Every Saturday is going to be dedicated to my favorite thrift find of the week.  So yeah, I can't believe January has came and left and now February is here which means one more month 'til Spring! (Which is my favorite season btw).




This Harley Davidson tee was by far my favorite find of the week.  I purchased it at Lovely Ladies Consignment Shop.  It was originally $7.99 but I got it for $4 on their 50% off day and it fits perfectly!

 

Once it gets warmer out in New York, I am definitely going to wear this outfit out.  Maybe pair it with a faux leather jacket, high waisted shorts, and sterling silver jewelry.











What I am wearing: Thrifted Harley Davidson tee | Tights from Walmart | Studded boots from F21

 Have a great weekend everyone!
