. . . the far east's influence on the west is long-standing—though stronger at certain times than others—and travels far beyond jade stones and chopsticks . . .

. . . back in the midwest a few weeks ago celebrating my aunt's 55th surprise birthday party i happened to stop in aldo with my cousin—I was only looking for earrings. my cousin bought the Croner platform in yellow (her favorite color) and i eyed the same shoe in red but decided to just go with the feather and pearl Michaiah earrings. turning to pay for them before i was tempted by anything else i saw the sales associate with them on and new i had to have them: the Croner in blue—a blue that the picture does no justice for, my favorite electric blue. of course they didn't have them in store so I ordered them (and snatched up a bottle of Lavendar Fields nail lacquer they had conveniently placed at the register) and had them shipped to me back here in L.A. unfortunately when i finally received them they fit a little too perfect (they should seriously consider half-sizes) so I went into my closest store for the next size where I spotted Proa, my new favorite fold-over clutch.

. . . had to share this 'Yellow & Grey' look, styled by Alyssass, as it pretty much sums up my style mood right now: desperately want to be dressed in light flowy summer things in warm hues but, the overcast skies of recent days insist on adding shades of gray to my palette . . .

...perfectly balancing out an overly girly skirt with denim skinnies and leather booties; boldly pairing red lips with my already bright and bold red coat; and piling all my bracelets and rings onto one hand—the hand that carries my clutch.

...layering on as many prints as I deem proper to complete my look; keeping my favorite summer shoes out for fall and winter wear and pairing them with tights; and, not caring that it's only January when I decide to rock winter staples in head to toe white.

What is your definition of style?

MIXED MEDIA PEARL EARRINGS

My personal style-in apparel-is heavily rooted in classic, elegant, timeless pieces. Then, to add a modern edginess that balances out the style that is my own I look to my obsessories-shoes, bags, jewelry etc. As a result, when I find pieces that can simultaneously speak to the past as well as the present I am instantly smitten-hence my allure to the above.
