PFM Obsession: We Heart Vanilla Star!

Sesheta in the Gray Leopard = swag

Becca rockin' her Tan Leopards!

Becca: It's an obsession, realized! Today marks the first time that Sesheta & I intentionally wore them same item at the same time- usually it's just a happy coincidence! For good reason...we probed, pondered, and then purchased. Leopard print jeans have become a must-have item (click here to play catch up) and I've gotta say that this tan print by Vanilla Star is definitely one of my favorites. The compliments have been flowing all day...who doesn't love hearing that their derriere is looking fantastic in a new pair of jeans? True story.

 The tan print goes with so much that it was almost too easy for a look to come together. I went for a bold burst of fluorescent yellow color up top and my ladylike vintage-style pumps at the bottom. A classic black silk blazer immediately makes things more dressy and put-together...a good thing since these leopard beauties were making their debut today at work. The glam MF Black Mamba necklace fell right into place in my color story. These jeans will be a staple in my weekly rotation for sure. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on the gray version too, especially after photographing Sesheta rocking them!

sesheta:  my turn!!! when Becca  posted about her newest obsession, i went straight to the Target site and clicked purchase.  just like that i was obsessed too!  (needless to say, this is not the first, or last item, that we both share in our wardrobe lol.)  animal print skinnies at a suuuuper reasonable price?  how could you say no???!!! 


well, as soon as i got them, they just screamed rocker chic to me and that was the inspiration for my styling -   a leather jacket, doc martens and, of course, neon!!  i love the combination of my neon yellow top with the range of blues in my MF Tribal Fringe earrings (stay tuned for the "Fresh out of the Workshop" post featuring these babies).  the gray color is the perfect neutral backdrop for all my neon fantasies... i have already rocked these hotties a few different times and i am head over heels.  i know that Becca wants a pair like mine and i sure wouldn't mind finding a pair like hers... time to stalk ebay!! lol

Fresh Out Of The Workshop: Black Mamba Necklace

It's here, it's here! Something that I'm very excited to introduce- a mixed media piece born out of our love of crochet work and sparkly details... the Black Mamba Necklace. All of these contrasting materials are working in harmony to create something unique and modern with a boho vibe. Plus the namesake Black Mamba knew how to kick ass and rock black & yellow fashion like no one's business ha!

Now more than ever we are seeing chunky, bold statement necklaces being worn with everything from flannel button downs to v-neck tees, and it only goes to show this style ain't just for evening anymore!  This classic neutral combo of black 'n gold will be a wardrobe staple, and it happens to be a favorite mix of ours. If anyone owns a luxe black leather handbag with gold hardware, then you know exactly what I mean! 

I've been wearing mine on it's own and also layered up with another longer necklace from my collection. I can definitely foresee many different versions of this style in both necklaces and bracelets coming to fruition in the near future...inspiration is a beautiful thing!!!

Daily Outfit: Coated Jeans, Meet Punk Prepster

Last night I slept with my mouth open, a sure sign that I'm battling a winter cold. Nothing like sharing some new fashion inspiration to get me in a better mood! Inspiration had arrived on my doorstep in the form of these teal jeans (thanks to eBay) and I couldn't wait to style them. 

Going matchy-match with this teal plaid button down was an easy decision, layered with a supersoft cable knit sweater (a steal at the Gap for $10 in-store) and finished off with our latest bold statement necklace- Black Mamba. It's a modern piece with lemon briolettes, gold chain, silky threads, and rhinestone sparkle; what more could a girl want?! I loved the leathery look and skinny fit of these pants...seems like this day-ready ensemble resulted in something a little preppy, and a little punk.

With that, I'm gonna put my sick self back into bed and rest up.
