Splurge vs. Steal

SPLURGE // STEAL
Leather jacket: Mango // OwnTheRunway
Jeans: True Religion // Forever21
Flats: Chloe // Charlotte Russe
Bow ring: Ivanka Trump // BaubleBar
Scarf: Alexander McQueen // Republic.co

Which do you prefer? Are name brands like McQueen, Chloe, and True Religion worth the splurge, or would you go for the steal?

Personally, I recommend a mix of both high-end pieces and more practical, cheaper ones. I'd totally splurge on the True Religion jeans and still rock the Charlotte Russe flats. No shame, I tell you...

W2WW :: Wear to Work Wednesday

Black + white + raspberry = a yummy wear-to-work outfit.

It's pretty much impossible to go wrong with black and white, especially when it comes to office wear. If you've been following my W2WW series at all, you know how much I love to add pops of color to an outfit using accessories, like this McQueen scarf. If you have something more formal to attend, like an important business meeting, you can just take it off for a more polished look. Easy!

iPad case / Juicy Couture / $95

Wanderlusting :: London

What a unique city! There truly is no place quite like London. The mixture of old and new is inimitable. I love the old school punk-ish style that is associated with this city.. hence the inspiration for the London outfit below, featuring classic British designers like Alexander McQueen and Burberry. 

And of course, you can't have a post about London without a fabulous picture of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.. What a gentleman! I'm melting.
