La Vie en Rose


coat: via The Bay
blouse: via H&M
skirt: via thrift
tights: HUE
clog heels: Steve Madden

I bet you were expecting a super mushy Valentine's Day post in which I am dressed as a cinnamon heart - yeah right! Kidding - romance rules my everyday. I promise that a post will follow in which I am dressed like a sugary bundle of candy prancing down the sidewalk.

I spotted this coat in The Bay and could not believe how gorgeous it was. Fake leopard fur trim at the collar and cuffs - what a cropped coat! I was saddened by the price tag, which was a little out of my range, but then I noticed a sign indicating that it was 50% off. I think The Bay is marking down new brands they bring it to see how they sell? Either way, expect this coat to be grafted to my body in the coming spring.

Many cite Valentine's Day as a holiday for lovers, but I think it's an opportunity for an outpouring of love to and from everyone. Love your partner. Love your mom. Love your cat. Love your pals. Whatever! I use today as an opportunity to make collage cards cut from National Geographic magazines with heartfelt pun statements, (ie. "I love ewe" written over a photo of a sheep.)

My camera seemed to have trouble with the clarity of these photos because... my skin tone matches the wall behind me? I didn't notice until I uploaded the photos - and woah is that weird. A more contrasted background is to follow.

You look beautiful with your Snow White face, I can't see any resemblance with the wall ;) It's posh paleness.
What a great find this coat was, it looks so cool with the leo fur and i think it fits your style perfectly! Beautiful combo with the sheer blouse and red skirt!

That coat really is awesome. The fur collar on it is perfect. It looks great with your red skirt and sheer top.

There are lots of good reasons to choose LED Grow Light
over HID or CFL. Their vast versatility makes them shine above the rest.

How can you keep your skin so beautifully pale?
You look a bit like Zooey Deschanel, but less assexual, of course.
You must be a fan of the film "The Dreamers", hey? :) xx greetings from Portugal!
