Holiday Party

I am serious sucker for a striped sweater.  You can dress it up or dress it down with such ease which is exactly what I plan on doing tonight. I am attending the boyfriend's holiday office party tonight and while I don't want to be overdressed I figured a great boot and stylish sweater is always a great start to any outfit.

Sweater: Rag & Bone // Skirt: Carven // Bag: DVF //

Earrings: Ziba // Boots: TypeZ

Fashions Night Out

I am starting to freak out over the nearing date of not only NYC fashion week but Fashions Night Out! It is one of those magical nights filled with endless possibilities filled with fun and fashion and great fashion anybody can buy.  Fashions Night Out puts out a collection of T's and Totes to help boost the industry's economy and put the fun back in fashion. Plus $20 bucks from each Tote sold goes to the NYC Aids Fund!

I will be getting the long sleeve grey shirt and the neutral/brown tote.  Maybe the boyfriend will get the baseball cap since it is unisex.  Which one are you wanting to pick up?

Perfect Fall Sweater

I'm in love with fall.  The leaves start to change... the chill in the air... central park.... Joie sweaters.  So comfy and cozy.  I am currently obsessing over this champagne knit with a beautiful boat-neck.

The perfect layering piece and it is now offered half off at Neiman Marcus!

Splurge vs. Steal

"Royal" Short Booties - Madison Harding

Faux-Leather Ankle Boot - Old Navy

Im a sucker for a deal.  Call me cheap, I don't care.  But I am loving these Old Navy ankle booties and they are only $35 bucks! I first fell in love with the Madison Harding booties on Bloomingdales website but I knew my bank account couldn't take another hit.  So I started this long search online for more affordable booties when I came across these Old Navy ankle booties and they were only $35 bucks! SCOOOOOOORE!

Flats

Golden Toe Ballet Flat - Givenchy

"Adena" Smoking Flat - Sam Edelman 

"Nariko" Smoking Flats - Dolce Vita

"Marcela" Tassel Loafers - DV Dolce Vita

Living in New York, I end up walking everywhere. I try to wear heels at the office but sometimes my feet yell at me and they crave the comfort of stylish flats.  With fall around the corner I can't help put look around online to see what I should be sporting on my feet soon.

Nail Polish Addict

My name is Malin, and I am a nail polish addict.  Yes, it's true.  I have an unhealthy obsession with nail polish and second a nail chips, I take it all off and paint again.  I think I can contribute that to my self-diagnosed OCD.  My latest polish color of choice: Trophy Wife by ESSIE.  I can just hear my mother saying under her breath, "how appropriate." I wasn't sure I was going to like it in the bottle but I can say that after having it on my nails, I LOVE IT!!

I think my hand needs to go on a diet, Holy chubby fingers.
