That's How I Roll - Anything but plain, please

What I choose to wear day to day is determined by weather I am on my bike or not. When I am on my bike the go to garment has definitely got to be leggings, they are easy to wear, stylish, comfortable and you can still wear your favorite dress or skirt without worrying about giving a free peep show. Having style while I'm on two wheels is pretty important to me and what can I say, I guess I'm a little vain.

That said, I have tons of pairs of the same old plain black leggings and this sent me on a quest to find something a little bit different to break up the monotony of my bike outfits. I scoured Etsy to bring you all my favorite legging finds.

Leather Like Details

These leggings may look like they are just basic black, but this beautiful pair has a great spandex patch detail that looks a little like leather. Unleash your inner bad girl!

Tie it up

I love the dainty tie detail at the bottom of these leggings, super cute! A great pair to wear with a super cool skirt. These leggings will make your outfit stand out above the rest!

Playful with a pop

If you are looking to add a pop of color to your outfit, these are the leggings to go with! A great vibrant turquoise color with two super cute swallows on the back, a great surprise!

Black and Gold

Available at thrills

 

I adore these hand painted leggings! The gold detailing is subtle and stunning at the same time. A great way to add a flash of sparkle, super cool!

A touch of Class

Available at malu7

This cute pair has a hint of Missoni behind them. Love it! Would look amazing with a white lace dress or skirt. How awesome are these?

Tattoo like Tights

 

 Available at post

Alright, so I know these aren't technically leggings but what they are is technically awesome! I love the illusion of having a tattoo on your legs. I'm sure that these get tons of attention when worn. Amazing!

Marc Jacobs - Fall 2010- Return of the Classics

Marc Jacobs says There's so much striving for newness now that newness feels less new.

I say: Marc Jacobs is a genius

 

  

  

  

  

 

   

Cynthia Steffe- Fall 2010

Yay! New York fashion week is finally here!!!

I really loved fell in love with this collection when I first saw it; it's good mix of school girl uniform + some inspiration from the 60's. I adore the knee highs and I think that the layering was well done. Love, Love, Love it!

Spring 2010 Trend Recap

Wow, Time flies! It feels like just yesterday I was sharing what my favorite collections for SS10 in anticipation. Now in a few weeks fashion's fall collections will grace the runways at Bryant park.

I really love fashion week, everything is so exciting and electric. It is always great to know what's ahead  to guide me in making wise shopping investments. Not every trend that runs down the catwalk will be warmly greeted by the general public, but sometimes all it needs is a few years to be nurtured.

When all is said and done, it all comes down to style because nothing is worth while unless you put your own spin on it. That's what makes a good outfit amazing!

Alright, enough with the rambling- on to the recap!

Time Travel - Mad About Plaid from Fall's Past

Today I came across a lookbook that I made for Fall 2008 and a look from Boy by Band of Outsiders caught my eye, so I reviewed the whole collection. I am still in love with this collection and think the styling is genius! The subtle addition of plaid as an accent is great and I also adore the plaid on plaid styling. As the saying goes: fashions fade but style is timeless.

A New Fairy Tale- Valentino Spring 2010

I am loving this collection right now! Inspired to create "a new fairy tale", Valentino really captured a mystical feel with this collection. I think the textures in the designs and fabrics work nicely with the neutral/warm colors and are perfect for a romantic spring look. I want to know which fairy tale inspired the house of Valentino, because whatever it was it must have been romantic, mysterious and beautiful
