jakenna 2.0: topshop + steve madden

SOMETIMES BEING A secret agent spy affects my wardrobe choices. JaKenna! We need you in Bogota to assassinate the world's most deadliest man. ON IT! Oh wait, can I grab my combat boots? My outfit really isn't the same without them and I don't think I can effectively kick with sling back peep toes... This blog post will self destruct in 10 seconds.

bright red: a little wicked top + converse kicks

RAISE YOUR HAND if one shirt has ever happily dominated your wardrobe.☝Guilty. 



Play dates. Vintage fashion fun was had. And Sammy Davis, Jess and JaKenna walked away happily every after. Pics from our adventure to come soon...

In the meantime, a bright purchase from the aforementioned adventure, was this crop top. I love it so much, I'm posting it twice. Tomorrow, you'll see the same top in a different look. Because. I have a wardrobe that is not Carrie Bradshaw's and I wear things more than once :)

kickin' it casual: men's plaid uniqlo shirt

ONCE AGAIN, I'M going to gush over the photos from my shoot w/ Max Bernetz. Just lovely.

Y'all know that I like to dress like a tomboy. Exhibits A and B.
Y'all also know that I occasionally steal borrow boys' clothing to wear in my erry day life. Exhibits C and D.

This plaid Uniqlo shirt is not only stolen borrowed from a boy, but it's comfy as all hell and I can't stop wearing it. I'm wearing it right now. And I'll be wearing it tomorrow. TRUST.

HOW BEAUTIFUL AND awesome is this coat? More details on that later...

HOW BEAUTIFUL AND awesome is this shirt!? I visited my good friend, Rachael Rush (owner of the fashion boutique Rena Reborn in the East Village), last week and stumbled upon this beautiful printed top. Rachael has an eye for vintage pieces, some would call her an expert :-)

 Remember that obsession with anchors? Yeah, it's alive and kickin'.
Peace baby!

autumn pastels: ben sherman chambray + american apparel peaches


I'M SORRY WHAT? It's October? How did that happen? Well, can I still wear pastels? Ok then. DONE.

GOOSEBUMPS! And I don't mean the wildly thrilling and expertly written children's horror stories, I mean the precious results on a chilly Autumn day.

SIDEBAR: Ben Sherman has THE BEST CHAMBRAY SHIRTS. I ♥ many features: the backwards buttons on men's collared shirts, the slim fit, the cool color, I could go on... the versatility, the-button-spacing-is-sexy-on-a-woman, the...

keep it simple: j brand red skinnies + ralph lauren white tee

IT'S A JEANS and t-shirt kind of day. Maybe it's the weather, maybe it's my mood or maybe it's the ease and comfort of slipping in to a good pair of jeans + a soft tee to set the world right. The tomboy in me is ecstatic! And tomboys are sexy. You know it's true.

Inspiration for today's look:
TomBoy Style - If you like me, you'll like her. But keep me liking me more :-)

jeans and tees: j brand red skinny jeans + rebel yell tee

YOU MIGHT BE seeing a lot of these jeans in the coming posts as I seem to have developed an addiction... I can't help it! They add such a bright pop to every outfit and I can.not resist a good pop. Tell me, honestly, WHO CAN RESIST A GOOD POP?

And after enduring some sort of Canadian post office strike, my Chains of Love Ex-Boyfriend necklace finally arrived! Close up pics to come with the next outfit.

hipsterish: j brand skinny jeans + urban outfitters tank top

 
AH BRIGHT RED jeans to brighten my day. I mean literally, these pants are so neon blinding right now, I had no choice but to combo them with an equally luminescent tank top. DAY GLOW OR GO HOME.

 

Ok, they're not quite day glow, but I just like saying dayglow.dayglow.dayglow.dayglow. And now it sounds like Diego Lo. Ha.

You might remember these tomato red jeans from my 4th of July post, where I chose stripes to show my patriotism. I mean, if you're not going to wear stripes on the 4th, you might as well get the ef out of my BBQ. And no apple pie for you. They're on the flag for crying out loud.
And don't you love this ring? ME TOO!

Both J Brand and Rag & Bone are nuts on bright hues at ze moment. And TopShop is selling the trend too. And for less, yay!

BUT WHAT TO wear! Finally decided on jeans and a striped cropped shirt for my patriotic garb and off to my first ever DC 4th of July celebration!


What did youuuuu wear to celebrate?

And equally as important, did you play this song whilst celebrating?
 If not, that's too bad, really. You'll be listening to this #onrepeat for the rest of the summer. TRUST.

Aaaand Happy 4th of July! Watch some fireworks!
