i shopped: harem, drawstrings, and joggers

i didn’t mean to do it, but this summer i’m living in the loose ones.

by accident – i’ve acquired an alarming amount of these loose, silky, pj-like (but fitted at the ankle) pants, and i’m just going to go with it.

like all these i just got from forever 21…(click the pics for links).

love the pattern, love the price ($20)!

i wore: stripes and dots @ chicago’s nike training club

i was beyond excited when i was invited to help style some looks at nike’s new women’s studio and store – a club if you will: nike training club in chicago.

how great is this space? if you are in chicago, it’s a must check-out. the clothes are amazing and as soon as left i wanted to workout.

i’ve been wearing black-on-black workout wear for a bit now, i think it’s time to add some pattern and pops of colors.

gold shoes? yes, please.

and here’s the looks i styled with nikia from chi town fashionista. we were assigned “a day at the beach, followed by castaways” (a beach bar in chicago).

we went monochromatic with a gray sweat suit and a white bikini top + woven nikes; the necklace was my own – she needed a little something.

her partner in crime is in an outfit i snatched up – ombre’ish nike sunset leggings, which i love. oh and they work, they are sweat-wicking. the shoes are amazing – i’m wearing them now and was already stopped twice today with ‘where did you get those?’; oh – here.

bonus – we’re arranging a private and free class for unicorn stylings folks! check back in for details, and to see how i styled my new nike gear.

origins of the outfit: pants – j crew (on sale now); shirt – j crew; shoes – zara; scarf – missoni; arm stack – vintage, vintage, j crew; necklace – bannan republic.

just sayin’: green wedding shoes

our cute little engagement session was featured on green wedding shoes!  it’s one of my favorite wedding blogs, so we were beyond flattered when our photographers said they were selecting us for a feature.

e session green wedding

 

here’s a pic of us in our wardrobe change. i got this dress from one of my favorite vintage stores in austin, tx – feathers. i had it altered, but could never figure out where to wear it – boom, engagement pictures.

we went with a white, black, and red theme , so it was perfect!
