If you guys follow me on Instagram @kristengracelam - you probably have already seen my early morning shoot with Angel (and the best prop guy, Alvin) last weekend when New York blessed us with 50 degree weather, a tiny glimpse of spring to come. This weekend will probably be filled with family dinners and so be it. The snow's coming and all I'm gonna wanna do is sit indoors with Netflix and Dexter.

Have the best Friday, everyone!

Eleven Paris Kate Moss tank  |  vintage shearling jacket  |  Levi's jeans  |  Converses  |  Etienne Aigner satchel  |  Long Lost Jewelry shark tooth necklace

This gem of a jacket was pretty much waiting for me at the Brooklyn Flea on Saturday, and after making the best decision of my life, I bought it and haven't stopped wearing it ever since. It's very reminiscent of the Acne Velocite jacket that I could never justify paying upwards of $2,500 for. That's the beauty of scouring flea markets and vintage stores for the perfect alternative, I guess. And this Kate Moss Intermix exclusive for Eleven Paris tank is just the perfect tank to throw on any day - dressed up or down - with a great life motto, to take with a grain of salt, etched underneath mustached Kate. Life's a joke.

I heard that there's gonna be another crazy snow chill over here in New York over the weekend, so here's an outfit post before I get buried under it. I'd forgotten how effortless it is to just throw on a white button down and an oversized sweater - the cashmere just takes it to the next level of texture. Black and white is just always the best default color combination (other than my favorite grey on grey on grey). 

Happy Wednesday y'all!

lulu's sweater weather | marled sequins

It's another Lulu's look with this cropped marled grey sweater that's available online right now. You already know my insane obsession with grey, it's a lot more casual than black or white. I wish I could find more occasions to wear this sequin skirt, it's just too beautiful to be kept in the dark corners of my room.

Also, friendly reminder that the #LulusSweaterWeather giveaway is still going on until next Friday - and the rules? Psh, it's real easy. If you're already following me on Instagram - all you have to do is follow Lulu's on Instagram. Plus, an extra point for Gryffindor following Lulu's on Google+!

Oh, and did I forgot to mention again what you'll be winning? It'll be - not just any sweater - but your favorite sweater from Lulu's! And hey, it could totally be the sweater that I'm wearing now, but the beauty of it is...it's your choice!

Everyone needs the perfect silk shirt in their lives, and granted - I do have a few of them. But none fit or feel quite as luxurious as this one from Iahn LA. It's also such a nice shade of blue, with a hint of lavender.

An easy one with a white shirt with a sheer panel, a pair of lightweight psuedo-denim overalls and a pair of shining white Chucks and quick outfit shots while passing by some beautiful sunflowers.

Starting off 2013 with another 1 piece, 3 ways series graciously brought to you by the lovely ladies at ShopKoshka. Instead of the LBD, I bring you the LWD - which I think is just as awesome, if not more. It shows your boldness, your courage to brave the elements of breakfast, lunch and dinner and your triumph when at the end of the day, the dress is just as white and clean as it was when the day started.

I wore the dress as a skirt, it's the perfect flimsy crepe material that just works. Wrinkles? They add character.

For those of you who are as obsessed with the shirt as I am, my friend makes different ones, as seen on our Instagrams. Shoot him an email to purchase one!
