Dungaree Dressing

Wearing: H&M Blouse | Vintage Overalls - Similar | Theysken's Theory Shoes - Similar 

Look mah, no beanie! I've been getting a bunch of comments lately (mainly from my dad) about how I seem to always wear a beanie in my blog pics. Now come on, I definitely do not hate my hair, I actually LOVE it and feel lucky to never really have to worry about it. In the cold seasons however, a beanie A: keep me warm, and B: seems to always complete a layered look or add that perfect edge I constantly seek out. Guess you haters have to suck it up til Spring - oh, and the same goes for sunnies!

The Pumpkin Benni

Wearing: Cheap Monday Blouse | Vintage Overalls | Modern Vice Benni Boot | Topshop Necklace

They're one of those stop you in your tracks type of boots and I obviously love that. The Natalie & Dylana Suarez x Modern Vice pumpkin Benni boots are the perfect shade of orange, not to mention the  simple perfection of its shape. I've always loved a great blue and orange combo (cc: my high school colors) so of course denim overalls was a great match. Boyfriend jeans work too, and even black tights if you do it right. 

Calm Before the Storm

Wearing: WGACA Overalls - Similar | Topshop Jacket - Similar | Rachel Roy Loafers | By Malene Birger Bodychain

I'm always really sad when I can't link to the actual product I'm wearing on my blog for you guys - like this jacket. Last year I wore this amazing faux fur and leather Topshop jacket one too many times, and wish they remade it again.. but, there are some pretty great alternatives at a really affordable price available now on their site. 

So if you live in NYC, then you remember Hurricane Irene a few months ago... and you most likely remember how hyped up the storm was, and how little it actually hit us. Which brings to me to what our entire city is doing today - preparing for yet another extremely hyped up hurricane, Sandy. Forgive me if I'm doubting how much this will actually affect us this time. But just in case, I stocked up on my favorite candy, soup, movies, ice cream, cookies, and comfy sweats for a few days at my boyfriends place. Oh and wine, too. 

Rebecca Minkoff: 3 Ways

Look 1: Rebecca Minkoff Jacket & Bag | ASOS Dungarees | Rachel Roy Loafers 

Look 2: Rebecca Minkoff Jacket & Bag | James Jeans | Theory Tee | Alexander Wang Heels

Look 3: Rebecca Minkoff Jacket & Bag | LF Skirt - Similar | American Apparel Crop Top | Zara Booties 

When asked to style 1 bag, and 1 jacket, 3 different ways - I was of course up for the challenge. I'm obsessed with this leather sleeve jacket and even though its red, has turned out to be very versatile. The bag is adorable too, and perfect for when I'm going out at night. From the time I started blogging until now, I've watched Rebecca Minkoff grow her brand and expand in ways unimaginable for such a short period of time. The team over at RM has grabbed social media by the horns, and have jumped on the blogger ship more than other brand I know/work with. They truly know what it takes... not to mention the designs and products have become better and better with every season. The RM runway show was one of my favorites this past fashion week - and even the newly launched jewelry is right up my alley. ALERT: Rebecca Minkoff is a brand to watch.

Leather Dungarees

Wearing: ASOS Dungarees | Vintage Rolling Stones Tee - Similar | Juicy Couture Bag

They have arrived - and have exceeded my expectations! The perfect dungarees obviously brought to you by ASOS are too too good. I'm obsessed guys, and even more obsessed now that I realized they are identical to the 3.1 Phillip Lim overalls seen in the latest resort collection (here). Getting the look for less, works for me! Look for me in my leather dungarees - this Fall (yes, that rhymed).

Wearing: Vintage Overalls - Similar | H&M Top - Similar | Jeffrey Campbell Kicks 

Counting down the hours til my flight on Friday night to Stockholm - woot woot. So I've randomly been running around this city in my overalls lately. To showroom visits, coffee meetings, and to Trader Joe's.. I've looked to my overalls for comfort and ease. The last time I wore these babies were over a month ago, so I think us reuniting has got me hooked. The mack daddy of overalls however, are these Stella McCartney bad boys (here) as seen on Alexa Chung and Man Repeller (now 60% off)!

Wearing: Vintage Overalls - Similar | Zara Top | Vintage Guess Boots (Daha Vintage) 

Discovered...yet another amazing vintage store on the Lower East Side called Daha Vintage (175 Orchard st). Thanks to my best friend who moved down there this month, I now have so many more boutiques to throw my money at. But really, these vintage Guess boots were a great find if you ask me. So, excuse me in advance if I wear them too much for the next few weeks!

Just wanted to say a quick note to all my readers - I look at all your comments everyday and truly appreciate all the love and support you guys have given me. You definitely keep me going and reassure me that I'm doing something right here! So, don't think it goes unnoticed :)

Overalls

Wearing: Vintage Overalls - Similar | Walter Baker Tee | Tobi Creepers Shoes 

The last time I wore overalls was probably my 6th grade hoedown and they most likely had patchwork bandanas plastered all over the denim. After visiting The Vintage Twin last month, I realized that this childhood staple could now come back to me as chic Spring/Summer wear. My suggestion to you - is wear them a bit oversized (but belted), with a fitted/structured blazer, heels, and a bunch of layers. Or, just throw on a rocker tank and call it a day with a pair of converse. There are so many ways you can glam up these grungy dungarees and all it takes is a little creativity. I bought this pair I'm wearing at the Rose Bowl Flea Market last week and now I kind of wish I bought more!

Here's some other takes on the trendy dungarees brought to you by Free People (and hand-picked by me).
