New Goodies: Colored Denim

Every once in a while a girl's got to treat herself. It's been like 50s and raining the past few days, so it hardly feels like spring here. I'm hoping all these April showers will bring May flowers, but until that happens I decided to bring some springtime colors to my wardrobe. I've been loving this colored denim trend, so I finally broke down and bought two pairs of my own. I settled on fuchsia and cobalt skinnies which I can't wait to break out. I'm a huge fan of color blocking, so I'm sure that's the first way I style them.

Anyone else a fan of colored denim?

I spent most of Sunday afternoon running around Shoreditch which was described to me as the area where "all the cool ass fashion kids hang out". Well it's definitely true that you see a lot of fashion types. I saw a lot of really cool fashions while I was there. I'll have to snap some more pictures next time I head out that way.

I ran across a market that had everything from handmade leather luggage to tees to Turkish treats to handmade jewelry. I picked up a couple of things that really stood out including a handmade leather clutch and chain necklace. I fell in love with this woman's jewelry collection, and I can't wait to go back soon to pick up some more pieces.

For my day in Shoreditch I wore black shorts with tights ballet flats and a tunic. As it got later in the day I definitely started to freeze, so perhaps next weekend I'll make it a point to where pants if I'm going to be out later in the day!

My new leather clutch. I love that the strap is removable!

Silver chain necklace. Love the chunkiness!

My New Goodies!

Since moving to London, I have drastically cut back on my shopping. I've been learning to shop my closet and create new looks from the pieces I already own. However, I happened to be on Shopbop's website last week when I noticed that they ship worldwide...for free. I couldn't help but look a little closer at some of the dresses I had been eyeing. I finally decided to breakdown and purchase two dresses. They arrived this morning, and I can't wait to wear them!

I bought a white long sleeve dress with asymmetrical hem and a casual grey cowl neck dress that I'm sure I'll be wearing soon. I think I'm going to save the white dress for the Watch the Throne concert next month. I just hope it will be warm enough to wear it!
