TEXTURED WAVES | 3.1 PHILLIP LIM S/S 2013

ph: Vogue UK

Smitten with the 3.1 Phillip Lim S/S 2013 collection- The textured waves are the cherry on top!

Speaking of waves... the new Paul Mitchell Curls collection is finally available! As I mentioned before, I plan on trying out the 'Ultimate Wave' Beachy Texture Cream-Gel for some beachy waves. I'm thinking if I tease the waves some, I can get that grungy Lim effect above.

Head over to the Paul Mitchell facebook page so you can share a 'curls story' of your own. If you're more of a twitter and/or instagram kinda babe, share your 'curls story' on twitter with the hashtag #curlsconfession.

NAVY SHIMMER

ph: my own

Finally got my hands on this 3.1 Phillip Lim sequin vest! It's perfect for the navy kick I've been on lately and an easy piece to dress up or down, which I love. Again, I have to thank the eBay gods- in particular Ann's Dallas-based eBay store Willow-Wear! Ann has an excellent eye, so the store is always filled with AMAZE pieces like this neon pink Christopher Kane dress! Swoon!

Not only does Willow-Wear have a great selection, but a great story behind it read here. Ann has become one of the most trusted consignment sellers on eBay and can help sell your unwanted designer goodies, giving you the funds to put towards what you're coveting now. Get more details and check out what else is in store here.

ps- I styled the vest with a T by Alexander Wang Shirt, Karen Zambos Vintage Couture Denim, Alexander Wang Joan Pumps, Prism Paris Sunglasses + a Proenza Schouler PS1 zip case.
