daytime pajamas

Obviously a huge fan of sleep, so I had to sport a pair of pajama-like shorts that I purchased at none other than that magical place called Zara.

midi skirts skinny love

I'm not sure why I insist on wearing and loving midi skirts. It's not like I'm exactly 5'9", but there's something about midi skirts that are just so appropriate for any weather. I picked up this one from ASOS a while back, and the wool makes it perfectly transitional into the spring. I have my eye on this major green striped statement skirt though. But for now, while New York is still deciding on whether or not it's going to be spring - I'll stick with my monochromatic tones. 

Also, if you know me, you'll know that I always need a hairtie on my wrist, I've found my match in Twistband ties, I can literally match my outfit with any color that they have.

holy holo

Remember a few days ago when it was practically spring? These holographic heels are sure to be a staple year round - especially with the holographic trend in full effect, also if you'd like to get me something for my birthday, I've decided that a holographic card case is an essential in everyone's wardrobe.

practice for nyfw

I dared to bare my legs in this weather, mainly to practice for NYFW coming up, where I'll probably have to step out in stockings more often than not. Opted for a monochromatic outfit with neon details on this John & Jenn cardigan that's surprisingly warm and the flimsy silk shorts that I was telling ya'll about in this post. I can't tell you how excited I am to be seeing Stephanie and Natalie, among some other favorites and meeting some new faces! Be sure to follow me on Instagram for some live updates!

50 degree weather celebration

Once the temperature hits above 50 degrees, especially after a few days of seemingly negative degree weather, I had to jump at the chance to wear a skirt and a crop top to celebrate. A couple degrees warmer and I would've gone to the beach. Really.

rainy day default

It was too warm to snow and too cold to rain - it was that sort of in between sleet that everyone hates. I went with an all black outfit, because that just seems to be everyone's default color. I dedicate this post to Fez, the creator of the term #gorgcouture and dresses everyday like he's going to the chicest funeral ever.

Thinking out of the box meant simply layering a thin chiffon button down underneath the dress and wearing it as a shirt. That kind of double play only works when they're both such easy layering pieces. Complete with an oversized coat, ankle jeans (during the winter, might I add?) and a carry-all satchel by way of Etienne Aigner

a ladylike attempt

Can we talk about Etienne Aigner? I remember lusting after vintage Etienne Aigner pieces in high school, the leather, the immensely beautiful vintage feel to their bags. Etienne Aigner has really grown into an amazing brand, paving the way with their signature doctor totes by creative director Daniela Anastasio Bardazzi. With their Soho store launching next year, they'll be making every girl's life so much easier when looking for the perfect leather bag and when trying to look like a lady.

the holidays : nicole miller giveaway

Photos by Landon
gifted Nicole Miller dress  |  Urban Outfitters jacket  |  Zara heels

There's something about the holidays that just makes everyone go insane with accessories. I didn't feel the need to throw any jewels on top of this dress and kept it simple with my favorite pair (and most comforable) of Zara heels and a sleek leather sleeved jacket that I bought recently on a whim. The chiffon bottom and side slit makes an otherwise relatively simple dress a little bit fancier and more party-appropriate. Nicole Miller always makes it easy for everyone to style it their own way, so they're giving you a chance to win this very dress to do just that!

For a chance to win a gorgeous Nicole Miller maxi dress of your own, here's what you've gotta do!

1. Follow @NicoleMillerNYC on Twitter.
2. Follow me on Bloglovin'.
3. Tweet me at @kristengracelam with #NMHolidays and comment below with your email address and tell me what you're going to be wearing during the holidays.

I'll announce the winner on Twitter and Facebook a week from now on Wednesday, November 28th, 2012 - so fingers crossed and good luck everyone!

the holidays : small gift ideas


Just in case you're feeling generous (but not too generous) during the holidays, here are a few gifts that say, "Hey, I care about you in a big way".

4. Death by Chocolate planner (use the code KGLAM31 for a discount!)


Well, I could never say no to a gorgeous Quiksilver oversized coat and Phillip Lim bag either - that's a huge hint right there to my parents, my sister and all you cool kids that just wanna make me smile this Christmas. Hello, random mustache photo.

inspired necessity

Apparently, Landon and I have been missing out on a great photo location in the office. When Serena came into the office to preview Nifty Thrifty, she also shot a few photos for The Spicy Stiletto on the radiator (of all places!) and they turned out completely awesome. It was the perfect spot for one of those cold fall days where you're wearing one too many layers to take a flattering head-to-toe photograph - blogger problem #23. Sometimes, on days like these, less is more when it comes to details. Stay a little while, Hurricane Sandy.

pumpkin

Gap sweater  |  H&M skirt (similar)  |  Zara crossbody (similar)  |  thrifted loafers (similar patent version)

The only thing better than wearing this outfit to an apple-picking farm was realizing that I had unintentionally dressed like a pumpkin, which I was surprisingly not bothered by. Today, I introduce you to the little Lam, the sister that doubles as an efficient photographer after Landon, whose talents lie in academics and athletics, whose personality so differs from my own - and all the while, is still one of my best friends.

camo & plaid

There's a thin line to cross when mixing prints. Wearing checkers and camo together might have been crossing that very line, but this oversized knit in a neutral color broke things up and kept the outfit together, making the checkered pattern more of a detail, rather than a statement piece. And these camo jeans that I've been eyeing forever at Zara are finally mine, shoutout to Jess for the rec - they definitely are an essential.

lost in translation: tres

gifted Koshka dress  |  thrifted Anne Klein blazer  |  thrifted metal belt  |  Aldo beaded box clutch  |  Zara heels

I tried to channel my inner lady for the final look for the Lost in Translation dress, threw on a belt to cinch in the waist, a sleek blazer and those open toed high heels from Zara. The always messy sidebraid  and the aztec print adds an everyday spin to the outfit. To tell you the truth, the last look was the hardest, but I can't wait until the next series!

flamingo

gifted Sugarlips dress  |  H&M cardigan  |  thrifted penny loafers

When I saw this dress on Sugarlips, I knew I had to have it. Short, printed, with an open back and the color vaguely reminds me of a flamingo. I made this dress a statement piece and realized that even though the color isn't exactly fall-appropriate, throwing on a chunky cardigan and a pair of vintage loafers makes it just about right. Have you checked out Sugarlips though? Their new arrivals are just calling my name.
