Shining Brightly

by Jen on Thursday, March 17, 2011



I am very flattered that Kristy of monochroma.chic featured me on her blog today as one of her current fashion "crushes", especially since I am in the company of the super stylish Atlantic-Pacific and Saucy Glossie. Not only do I find constant inspiration from the way Kristy puts things together (and of course her amazing shoe collection), but she was one of my first friends in the blogging world and truly one of the sweetest. Thank you so much!!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I'm going to be cooped up studying; hopefully yours will be more eventful! What knds of exciting things do you have planned for your weekend?











Wearing: H&M blouse, cardigan from Hong Kong street vendor, Ines skirt (Aritzia), vintage belt, Hue tights, Stuart Weitzman shoes, Coach bag, Marni sunnies

Love the pops of colour!! I can't get enough of bold colours this season, especially coral/orange :) Cute as always Jen!

This post just proved once again why you're one of my style crushes ;)

Your mix bright colors without making the outfit look tacky. I love the over exposure effect in each photo, it really compliments the outfit :D:D:D:D

Have a great weekend, Jen <3

Congratulations on the feature! It's certainly well deserved.

loving the detail of that fab belt and the use of colors in this look!

by FASHION ICE on March 18, 2011 at 5:02 PM. #

I'm so jealous you can rock the bright yellow. It really livens up the outfit! You have the best belts, you should totally do a belt collection or something!

by Banhannas on March 18, 2011 at 6:30 PM. #

You are absolutely a style crush of mine as well! Wish I could mix things up the way you do, and still look perfectly put together.

by Kristen on March 18, 2011 at 6:34 PM. #

Congratz on the feature! Nice one! Not really surprised, I must say, as you have great style!
I like the contrast of the blue and yellow here.
Good luck on the studying! I should be doing some work, too

by Joey on March 18, 2011 at 7:13 PM. #

Wow, loving this look! Especially the shoes! Hot! I don't know how you wear high heels when I can barely walk around in 3 inches boots...impressive!

by Jarucha on March 18, 2011 at 10:49 PM. #

definitely loving the whole palette my dear :)

I can see why she named you as a crush. Your smile is infectious! My weekend plan is non-existent but I may be visiting a Maple garden on Sat. :)
