I’d call this a form of color blocking but I’m not quite sure. Nonetheless, I really love not matching. It’s reminiscent of the times back when I was a kid, where I threw everything on in my closet in meticulous manner and still come out looking like my closet threw up on me.

So June 1st is here, I can’t believe it. 6 months ago it was just January (wow Christina, you’re one smart cookie). Anyhow, time flies so quickly and I remember coming back from New York in February and saying that I was never going to move there- I really wanted to hate it. It’s insane how one’s mind can change so drastically, all for the simple sake of pleasing one’s (in)sanity. It’s my birthday in two days, then a whole bunch of partying, packing, eating, drinking and more packing ensues, then I’m up and out-the-door to NYC next Saturday. Can’t believe it’s finally happening and I can’t believe you’ll all been around watching this all happen. Talk about a ride ay? On that note, have you checked out the store lately? C’mon, support a sista. New York rent ain’t cheap.

Looking back at these photos, I really need to touch up my ombre’. It’s looking a little too golden for my taste. Ash we go!

    I like how you consider this not to be matching. Anything you put on goes, because you carry every outfit with confidence and style, thus nothing will ever be out of place. I think you look amazing and man I just love when you do post in those shoes they are so fab!

    XX!

    Oooo love the orange and olive together!! When I bought the silver cracked Danys I started to buy the purple velvet too, and everytime I see you in them, I regret not buying them. :-( It’s ok, I’ll just adore them on you :-).

    I didn’t realize you were a June baby too; my bday is the 23rd! Congrats on your big move! I remember your writing of not living in New York; now look at you. I think it’s great and wish you much success!!

    It’s funny how mismatched colors is now a fad called color blocking! If we did this years ago we’d be on the worse dressed list ha! I love this!!

    I really love the color combination of the shirt and shorts, and I always have, both of those colors look awesome together. I really love the Dany platforms, every time I see someone wearing them it reminds me how badly I want a pair. -sigh-

    That is the leather jacket of my dreams! Where did you get that? So cute! Definitely inspires me to do something different with my orange shorts for sure.
