I chose to wear a skirt today (just for le shoot) as a kind of Spring preview. I changed in to black jeans after, with the same shoes and jewelry. This outfit could also be pair with flats for a more casual look. This Spring look out for black and white outfit combinations, black and white stripes (sometimes paired with a pop of color) as well as geometric looks and patterns. I don't know about you but I'm looking forward to some warmth and an opportunity to wear fewer layers. The weather in Boston has been pretty "ugh" lately. As you can tell from the gloominess of le photos, it was pretty "ugh" today and I think I might have rained/snowed a bit (after le shoot).
These last few weeks have been a whirlwind. School has kept me busy and away from le blog and it looks like that might not change. I definitely will not be posting weekly, perhaps every two or three weeks depending on my work load - I will not disappear, I promise :) I will also try to put up "Trends on a Budget" post soon as well as some of my favorite runway shows from the S/S 13 and F/W13 Fashion Weeks (Milan, Paris, London, etc). I am planning a Spring-esque post for next week though :) So keep an eye out!
Goodnight my lovelies.
HAPPY MONDAY!
Yours Truly,
Marcie

Top: Zara
Necklace: Aldo (old and I altered it)

Lipstick: MAC
and even though Im out of focus, i still think this is a pretty cool shot
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Marcelle and she hated wearing sneakers until she met these sneaker wedges which are pretty much high tops with a concealed wedge. She was completely intrigued by this new creation. She HAD to see what all the hype was about so she bought a pair in black from Steve Madden and when she put them on they turned her into a cool princess with sneakers on. They were just right mix of athletic/cool/laid-back and girly-ness. This made Marcelle very happy because now she has a pair of shoes she can wear to lab that actually look good not to mention the fact that she became a cool princess (with sneakers on). Marcelle and the sneaker wedges then lived happily ever after. (woohoo)
Moral of the story is, those shoes are amazingly amazing and trending this season. For those of you who follow me on Facebook (If you don't you are totally missing out on extra awesomeness so LIKE MY PAGE HERE and dont forget to follow me on BLOGLOVIN'), I put up a picture of Isabel Marant Sneaker wedges which I think started this whole trend. Over the summer, several of the "elite" bloggers wore them and I was little iffy about the whole concept. I mean, the only time i ever wore sneakers around was to the gym or PE or something related to fitness. I would never dream of owning a pair for everyday use (just because its not really me, not that they are not cool lol). However, when I got back to Bean Town, I decided to give it a shot and honestly, the investment paid off. Now, I'm looking for a pair in Burgundy or red and cobalt blue :). Be prepared to see these babies in several posts to come :)
Here are some options in a wide price range. So if you like what you see, feel free to click any of these: Isabel Marant Steve Madden Go Jane Ash
Honestly just google "sneaker wedge" or "wedge sneaker" and a bunch of options will come up but these are the most popular ones.
Anyhu, today was soooo productive, I am so proud of myself. I got so much work done plus I'm almost done with my lab report (YESSSSS) :) Oh and last weekend I had an awesome shoot with Obinna Ukwuani. I was pretty excited because I helped out with it creatively and stylistically. Yup - i styled my very first shoot using pieces of chiffon and tulle. It kind of inspired me to learn how to sew, I think it would save me a lot of money if I made my own clothes. I'm excited to see what comes out. Be sure that you all will be the first to see le results :)
SN: Funny thing, I look tired in these pictures but I got so much sleep the night before....Weird huh? lol
Laters babies :)
Yours Truly,

PS: Sorry for the inconsistency in le look but it was cold and I had my scarf, my faux fur, my jacket and my black and white wallet thingy so I figured I would try le dress with all of 'em. ok, goodnight! :)
PPS: I realize i talk too much in my posts these days, to those who actually read these I apologize lol, Sundays are just caffeine-intensive days and this always turns out to be an outlet for all my energy.

Here's a little something-something to help make Monday seem less dreary. Enjoy!
Hello, hello! I am back from the dead. Once again, I have to apologize for my absence it was more difficult (well...awkward) asking people I barely knew to take pictures of me for a blog so it took a little more time than anticipated. But I'm back and it's good now. Bad news is for the last week or so my laptop has been sick :( She's at Apple right now and hopefully she will be home with me soon. It's so wrong how my life has changed so much because I don't have a laptop. I depend on it way too much!
Jumpsuits are my new favorite thing and when I saw that printed one I couldnt help myself. It was a littl breezy that day so i put on a really light blazer i got at zara last summer. It was just for a nice lunch with le friends :) I decided to wear it with the neon yellow clutch and beaded statement necklace just to add a little oomph.
Anyway, here are some things you should be expecting this week:
Surprise male feature
another surprise post dedicated to something a good friend of mine is doing (super proud of her)
and more ME :)
HAPPY MONDAYYY!!!
Yours Truly

Everything I'm wearing is Zara. The blazer is old and so are the shoes.

Today was BUSY! ugh. I have been running everywhere today because I need to get myself prepared for my summer in New Orleans. Yup, yup, I am heading to Louisiana for a Summer Internship at an oil company so after next week you might not be seeing anything up from me for a couple of weeks until I find a friend to take pictures of me lol. Oh, the life of a relocating blogger smh lol. I assure you I will make friends so please do not abandon le blog completely :) The good news is Faithie from "Have a little Faith" wants to be featured again and Leonie might do feature too (I haven't asked yet but I'm gonna beg :) ).
In other news, Ramzi (RAY) from "RAY of light" will be taking my pictures for a post next week when he's free. He is really talented and I am really excited about it so keep an eye out
Anyhu, this is the last post of the week. See you again on Sunday/Monday :)
