Too cold to post anything remotely fashionable - these days I'm all about layering and neutrals, I'm not trying to put too much effort in when it's 30 degrees outside, y'know? But on a brighter, lighter note - I can't wait to show you guys what I got at the Isabel Marant for H&M launch! 

Have an awesome weekend, guys!

I jumped the gun a little bit with summer, there's something inherently July 4th about the American flag  that makes it a little nuts to wear it any other time. I say screw the rules - wear white after Labor Day. Wear the same shirt twice (with a different outfit, of course). Wear gold and silver together. Heck, wear that flag during a snowstorm if you want to. Wear whatever gives you confidence.

functional layers on fifth

An example of functional layers, living in New York's taught me how to layer properly, without suffocating and feeling like a fat marshmallow under them. Keep your layers thin - like this button down - under a thicker sweater. Throw an oversized coat on top of everything and you're ready to brave the infamous Flatiron wind chill.

lazy habits

These days I've picked up extremely lazy habits of dressing like a boy, it all depends on my mood. And when it comes to an early post-Sandy Monday when I'm feeling under the weather - a boy's polka dot sweater, my never-fail sneaker heels and my absolute favorite leather sleeved varsity jacket will have to do.

Sam Edelman Yelena (buy here)  |  dark wash jeans c/o Big Star Jeans USA  |  American Apparel crop top (better here)  |  thrifted nude blazer (perfect one here)  |  H&M neon rhinestone necklace (amazing one here)

A simple outfit with a nude blazer, a white button down and a pair of easy Big Star jeans - I wanted my bling (yes, I just said that) neon rhinestone necklace and my new Sam Edelamn babies to shine. If you guys follow me on Instagram (@kristengracelam), you would've seen these pretty little gems first! They were my actual birthday present for myself, because apparently, turning 21 made me kind of ignorant to how much money I have in my bank account. These Sam Edelman Yelenas are the perfect marriage between comfort and beauty with its chunky heel and metal detail. I just couldn't resist adding this pair to my collection.

More to come soon!
