I want to start sharing my looks of the day with you, so today I had a friend take a picture of me in my new apartment (notice the lack of furniture) with my outfit du jour.
I tried to draw upon modern influences mixed with vintage ones, with a little dose of nautical style thrown in for fun.
Let me break my wardrobe down for you, piece by piece!
I’m wearing a hat I got while on vacation..I flew home wearing this on a 12 hour flight! I paired this with my Ray-Ban Wayfarers of course and a Tom Binns rhinestone necklace mixed with a few vintage necklaces.
Can’t get enough of Tom’s statement necklaces..they’re gorgeous.
I kept my lips hydrated with a light wash of Carina’s beautiful Bourgeois Chic lippie.
From there I paired a really affordable BDG striped shirt I got at Urban Outfitters with my favorite Kasil + Taylor Jacobson Minx jeans. How cool is it that I am wearing my own designs??
Metallic silver Lanvin flats and tons of gold jewelry are the icing on the cake.
I did a little online sleuthing for those of you who are inspired by my look here and want to try it our for yourselves. Whether it’s taking one element of the look or combining various aspects..just be sure to make it your own!!!
Urban Outfitters has some great striped pieces right now (I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again..love a good stripe!!) that are really wallet-friendly. Love the Pins and Needles Boxy Striped Cardigan and the Pins and Needles Shoulder Pad Striped Pullover Sweater.
Vince’s Slouchy Stripe Cropped Sweater is so classic.
For a more affordable alternative to Tom Binns’ crazy pieces, check out Gemma Redux’s Cracked Crystal and Chain Necklace.
Calvin Klein’s Lexa II in Silver Metallic Honeycomb are so cute and great for a basic ballet flat with a bit of edge.
Finally, my Kasil + Taylor Jacobson Minx Jeans in Industrial. A must have for fall!!
Is the outfit a winner?
FUN TASK:
What’s your look for today? Describe each piece like I did here, and I’ll send a pair of my Kasil + Taylor Jacobson Minx jeans to my favorite.
Your gift is on the way...
Maignal
Love, Taylor

Its hot and humid today so I am keeping things simple. Jean shorts I have been wearing all summer, a slouchy white Miley Cyrus & Max Azria tee shirt I found at Walmart for $5, lime colored J Crew sandals, and a stack of gold bracelets.

I have a melon colored tank top from Old Navy that I bought for a mere 2 dollars! And since it's still a bit chilly right now I have a blue cardigan on.
No accessories since I had to quickly get out the door but my hair is pulled back in a ponytail and a simple flower to to add to my hair.

I'm wearing a white strapless dress with pink flowers from Urban Outfitters. I paired it with a black blazer, cuffing the sleeves. For shoes, I wore my staple black Steve Madden flats.
As for jewelry, I wanted to keep it simple wearing only my oversized, gold Michael Kors watch, a thin gold heart-shaped friendship bracelet and Laura James gold cuff.

The best part though is the accessories. I'm wearing my great-great-grandmother's cameo necklace and earrings. The necklace is long and has pictures inside of my great-great-grandfather and great-grandfather. My hair is loosely curled with a pinned-in flower that matches the cameo jewelry.
I feel good and that's what matters right? I love having the little reminder of my family.

I wore a vintage Aerosmith baseball tee, that my mom had when she was younger (it's kind of amazing and really really soft.) I paired that with my Ksubi twig skinny jeans with the zippered ankles, and a great pair of Jessica Simpson wedges that are wooden on the bottom and black leather on the top. Clearly, I wore my hair messy and curly but pulled back into a messy ponytail. I threw on all my classic rings that I wear everyday, an owl ring with amethyst eyes, a blown glass ring, a huge Fossil silver mens watch, and a gear ring my boyfriend made me last year. I also wore my (clearly cheaper) version of your sideways cross necklace in gold that my boyfriend bought me last Christmas.
I have to say that I'm always about comfort, I don't really push the edges when it comes to comfort, but I still like to look put together and clean.
Thanks for reading Taylor!

I work in an office so, I am wearing a print wrap dress, color of the dress is coral.
With that I have paired a nude heel by Aldo, which when I saw these shoes in the store I knew I had to have them. However, the love sort of drifted away a bit when I actually walked in them, Ouch!
They are a bit painful, but oh well beauty is pain, right? Only 2 more hours of work, then they are off.
My toppings are a gold Michael Kors watch, a long gold necklace, which I have added a antique cameo to that was my grandmothers and some gold bangles.
My hair back in a simple pony tail. The weather is so hot in Texas!!
Another work day down!

Okay so here's my Outfit of the day.
Just a simple and fun batwing dress from Saks Fifth and my suede chunky peep-toe platforms from Urban Outfitters.
It's almost the end of summer and I'm starting to anticipate more grays in my wardrobe, so what better way to start off the fall season.
I like to keep my look simple with a slouchy hobo.
Have a great week Taylor, good luck and Congrats on your new venture!!!!!!!!

Today I wore a Boulee dress with my H&M leopard print romper fashioned as shorts, Chinese Laundry fringe wedges, and a necklace I made with jewelry designer Dana Lorenz of Fenton Fallon. Love your outfit Taylor, was planning on wearing my own Nautical stripes tomorrow!!!

Here's my outfit! I always add a little sentimental item with my clothing so I have family who passed near me (cheesy and maybe a little creepy, but not to me, lol).
JACKET: A vintage black leather jacket I got from The Wasteland, which is one of my favorite items of clothing! It's so soft and comfortable now.
I love leather that's worn in and looks like it came from Keith Richard's closet. SHIRT: A black V-neck T-shirt from American Apparel.
BOTTOM: J Brand Houlihans in Vintage Taupe.
SHOES: An AMAZING pair of black motorcycle ankle booties from Proenza Schouler with a square toe that I got at a great deal. Here's a link to a pic if you want to see:
http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=10930309
ACCESSORIES: A vintage large swinging locket (it's much bigger than your average locket…about half a palm size) with a picture of two family members who have since passed on. I rotate my jewelry because sometimes I'm scared if I wear it too much I'll lose it or tarnish it, so I switch between this one and a dainty locket that's on a pin, and another necklace locket that's regular sized and heart-shaped (both have pictures of family in them). I love how they look like they came from grandmother's jewelry box.
SUNGLASSES: A no-brand pair of black cat-eye shaped sunglasses from the store "The Way We Wore."
WATCH: My late uncle's foreign brand chunky silver watch (it has a name, but I can't read it). It doesn't even tick anymore, but I don't want to fix it. I like it has the same battery as when he wore it.
HAIR: Purposely beach messy with the Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray. I'm pretty lazy with hair because I don't really know how to style it properly, lol.

Loving everyone's outfits on here!
Definitely inspirational.

Taylor, you are my fashion icon, you were my favorite person on the show, I can't believe they are saying such terrible things about you on Tv, can't you just sue them for that?
anyway my look of the day is :
- white jeans short shorts from Zadig & Voltaire, french brand that you can find at Fred Segal (you will see the almost same at H&M for $20)
- Black top from Costume National that I found in Paris for great bargains
- a hat from Zara but I customized it a little
- red repetto flat
- gold and silk bracelet from Alyssa Norton
- gold anchor necklace found on a flea market
- vintage Chloé aviator sunglasses (the ones with little swarovski heart on the side, it's not really vintage but it's 10 years old) I don't wear them very often cause it's collector to me, so I'm saving it for my daughter, if I do have a daughter some day
I hope the pictures are working, my 6 years old son took it
J'adore la mode, j'adore ce blog, j'adore Taylor

Patterson J. Kincaid Centinela French Country Wallpaper Tunic Top
I love everything about this pretty flowy blouse, especially the neckline and the sleeves.
JS by Jessica Mary Pump (The ones pictured are Christian Louboutin ROLANDO-LEATHER, which I can only dream about.)
I love these pumps. I picked them up at DSW recently and they're so comfortable. I love that they have a hidden platform. I feel so tall in these.
Women's Karmel & Alden Megan Low Rise Legging
Extremely comfortable jeggings. My favorite.
bcbg watch
My watch isn't bcbg but it looks almost identical to the one pictured. I love how it perfectly clinches the look.

- A dark greyish-blue midleg length velvet skirt with a lace border used as a dress. Because it is a little bit loose I held it together with a slim vintage leather belt.
- Simple black knee length tights.
- A pink 3/4 arm length cardigan.
- A pair of earrings that has tiny chains dangling with a little black stone in the middle.
- My pink Camper Imar leather shoes.
- A green leather jacket.
- And for makeup etc. I let my hair straight down with smokey eyes that had a slight turquoise hint.
I guess that was it

I love how you wore such a comfortable, casual outfit and yet you still managed to look glamourous by adding that beautiful, chunky necklace! I also have to say, I'm a big fan of the skin-tight jeans you designed!
This is what I wore today:
Lots of luck decorating your new apartment! Hope you show us the finished results on your blog!
Love,
Lea.
