Fashionably Fixated on...

One | Two | Three | Four | Five | Six | Seven | Eight | Nine | Ten | Eleven

My current shoe obsession is with d'Orsay flats. They're a simple twist on the basic flat with a truly elegant feel (I can imagine Audrey Hepburn donning them with cigarette trousers). Luckily there's a pair for everyone with prices ranging from high (Jenni Kayne) to low (Forever 21). My personal fave is Ruche's classic black and white striped d'Orsay flats, which I may or may not have just purchased ;) Is this a shoe style you'll be trying?

White Hot

{ Romper: H&M // Sandals: DV by Dolce Vita "Archer" // Bag: Kate Spade New York (similar) // Sunglasses: Chloe // Jewelry: Urban Outfitters necklaces; bfrend Flora bracelet; JewelMint Gold Reef ring // Lipstick: MAC RiRi Woo (very similar) }

Romper. Jumper. Playsuit. Whatever you want to call these adult onesies, I highly recommend getting one for yourself. A top and bottom that's attached together makes throwing something on in the morning so simple. The not so easy part? Going to the washroom. It's a small sacrifice to pay in that department when a piece like this is so cute but I seriously think designers should start putting snaps in the crotch area. Like a bodysuit. Or a baby onesie. Who's with me on this?
