Vintage Abstract fashion on Etsy
I could shop on Etsy all day. I not only love to see what others are creating but I love hunting for amazing vintage items as well. I thought I'd share some of my favorites I've been eyeing the past few days...vintage abstract. So colorful. So unique. I need some of these pieces in my wardrobe! Check out these seller's shops and items and let them know how fabulous they are! 1: Kaleidoo   ///  2: KFT Vintage  ///  3: Dead Girls Vintage  ///  4: Dust to Diamonds  (note: photos belong to the seller)

Casual Street Style - Akron Ohio
NOTO wrap - Missguided studded hat
Here's a rainy day casual look I threw on last week. I wore basics with some rad statement accessories...great street style! These relaxed "combined" pants from Zara are my jam! They are half sweatpants, half denim. Weird, right?...but awesome.
The shawl from NOTO really topped off the casual clothing items. I love being able to drape on a patterned accessory...without it being a scarf around my neck. I have jewels to show...no room for a neck scarf! haha! The cool blues of my necklace and boots added the extra punch and color contrast I was looking for. The vintage earrings are from a great shop in Cuyahoga falls, The Hidden Pearl.
I love exploring local shops during my lunch break like NOTO and the Hidden Pearl. Anytime I can support people who love what they do, I'm game. If you're in Northeast Ohio, be sure to frequently shop at these boutiques.

ODE Vintage - Choies Metallic Skirt

Choies metallic skirt - Sam Edelman ankle boots
A warm (yet WINDY!) day of winter i  tried to bask in some rays while dressed in warm citrus tones and metallics. The wind beat me up a little bit but I enjoyed the peek of sunshine and getting to be outside without worrying about getting frostbite.
I'm in love with this vintage rainbow glitzy top! It's from Cleveland's own, ODE {Vintage} Check out Olivia's online shop and pick up some of her fabulous finds.
Another favorite is this oversized mustard sweater from NOTO. Be sure to stop in at the store in downtown Akron, Lauren has several different styles of these sweaters AND new arrivals just hit this week. Can't wait to go shop!

Vinted iPhone App - buy and sell used trendy clothing

Glam & Grace on Vinted
Vinted is amazing! It's a fashion app where you can buy from and sell to other trendy females just like yourself! You can even swap items.
So fun! I've started selling items from my closet on the app. It's so user friendly and easy! I have some items up on ebay but let's be honest, it's a pain in the but. With Vinted, I can post an item within a few seconds. Also, it's all fairly trendy clothing...much from other fashion bloggers, so there's a great selection. It's a must try!
Shop my closet on Vinted!

MY CLOSET: Black, White & Gray Winter Details

Tuesday, January 7, 2014


black white & gray accessories - veil beanie

beaded fringe bag - Kate Spade Saturday iPhone case - veil beanie
sparkly gray necklace - beaded nailpolish

beaded fringe bag - Banyan Tree Tremont


eyelash fringe black and white sweater

Kate Spade Saturday splatter iPhone case
Here's some of my current favorite grayscale accessories. I love the detail in each item.
First of all, yes...I FINALLY got my veil beanie! I found this one at Choies at a great price. I wasn't too excited about the $60+ other versions I was seeing around. Glad I found this one...the pom on top adds the perfect touch!
Next, this black leather bag is TO DIE FOR. I was surprised to have found it locally at Banyan Tree in Tremont. They have some pretty cool trending items. The simple shape of the bag and the chunky beaded fringe detail really caught my eye.
The glitzy gray necklace can really add elegance to any casual look. I paired it with this eyelash fringe textured sweater from Nordstorm Rack.
Finally, this fab splatter iPhone case is from Kate Spade Saturday. They currently have 40% off all sale items.
