As some of my fabulous readers may know, I’m gearing up to go to New York for Fashion Week! One of my very generous friends (who prefers to remain anonymous) gave me a plane ticket for Christmas and obviously I am losing my mind with excitement! Since Christmas I’ve been saving almost every penny and am finally starting to buy a few pieces to take, and this fringe bag might be my favorite. I went to H&M on a hunt for a lip-shaped bag (which I also bought but forgot to take a picture of) and found this beauty for $30. I just couldn’t say no. It reminded me of something my cool biker aunt would’ve had when I was a kid.

“Hello dahling.”

“You heard about my new bag right?”

Isn’t it gorgeous?

I just love all the neon in this little jacket.

And of course hooker boots!

The other piece that I’ve been wearing almost everyday lately is my Gramma’s charm bracelet. She got charms from her kids and whenever she traveled and it’s totally overloaded. As a kid I always admired it and I was so touched when she finally gave it to me a few years ago. Although we definitely don’t see eye to eye on many things, she has always been a huge influence on my style. For many years, she made most of her own clothes and was never afraid to try some out there stuff. She recently gave me some really beautiful riding boots too that you’ll see lots of once all this snow melts!
