Probably not the best day to wear my Chloé loafers, but I kinda loved the checkered dress with stark white shoes.

quick snapshots

Just a quick post of a few polaroids Landon and I decided to take with my humble Polaroid camera and just 4 exposures left on the film. These babies came out pretty perfect, if I say so myself. Landon's Reformation shirt though - how good is it?!

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.

the suit, not the tie

You should see this dress without the blazer, it's absolutely gorgeous, but slightly scandalous for work. You'll be seeing the dress in its fully glory for Costa Rica in a few weeks!

school girl vibes

Channeling a school girl vibe in this chambray button up dress and an oxblood satchel that I thought would be only appropriate for the fall, but transitions quite nicely into my spring wardrobe.

A gardener, a farmer, whatever you wanna call anyone wearing overalls - you can't deny that it's making a comeback. Despite its obvious downfalls (bathroom breaks and such) - it's über comfortable and makes you feel like a kid again, so I'm willing to pay that price.

H&M jacket | gifted customized Vinyl Nation tee | Big Star USA jeans | Senso shoes | gifted Lulu's ear cuff

There's something exhilarating about an all black outfit, it's absolutely thoughtless but yet comes together so well no matter what you wear. I threw in a new favorite oversized H&M jacket for texture and this new T I got as a birthday present. It's not exactly a Les Plus Dorés shirt but hey, I'm on team Lam. It fits so perfectly, I'm tempted to wear it everyday.

birthday suit

Waldrip floral blazer | random boutique crop top | gifted Gypsy Warrior acid skinnys | Senso shoes | gifted Gypsy Warrior necklace

Despite my serious-ish face in this post, this year has really been one of the best birthdays I've had - but then again, that's what everyone says every year when their birthday comes around. Yes, this year - my birthday suit is a little more scandalous with the cut-out crop top but the tailored floral blazer pulls it all together, doesn't it? This Waldrip blazer might just be a new favorite, yep.

Civil Clothing camo tee | Sugarlips jacket | H&M skirt | Elizabeth & James flatforms

I've been waiting for the first few days of spring so that I could wear these ankle-breaking babies. I bought these flatforms last year and they've been sitting on the floor of my room, collecting dust and catching glimpses from everyone that passes it by. Yes, they're a look. They're definitely a look. But paired with a go-to camo tee and an embroidered white jacket, they fall quite perfectly in the mix.

vintage heaven

Manhattan Vintage sheer slip | MIKOH Swimwear dress | Sugarlips jacket | ShoeMint heels

I have to get back into the groove of thrifting and hunting for those vintage pieces. I used to live on it - more than half my wardrobe was comprised of one-of-a-kind vintage pieces! I'll probably be stopping by the Manhattan Vintage Show this weekend (Friday and Saturday at the Metropolitan Pavilion at 125 West 18th Street!) to get my vintage groove back. This gorgeous rosette dress really caught my eye with the silhouette, and you know that I gravitate towards anything sheer.

If any of you are heading over there, shoot me a tweet at @kristengracelam - let's meet up!

H&M skirt (similar full skirt) | Sam Edelman Trinas

If you can't tell already, I've been obsessing over full skirts - they're perfect for the spring because they're not too short or too long. The all white look could be intimidating, but throw on some denim and it's instantly casual. Also, my hair's getting way too long for my own good, thoughts on a drastic change? I'm thinkin' leaving the straight hair business and going with waves.

I'm starting to believe that guys' clothes are starting to look better on me than girl's clothes. More often than not, I find myself wandering around in the men's section anyway. I've had this leather bomber from my dad for a while, because let's face it - as much as I love him, my sweet little Asian dad would not fare well in public if he was trying to rock this leather jacket again. Good thing we're about the same size (not quite sure if that should be a good thing for me) and the leather's just broken down to a soft, buttery feel, perfect to pair with the coolest tank from Civil Clothing for this New York chick that really - deep down - just wants to be in California for a while.

Wildfox Couture cropped sweater | Big Star USA overalls

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.

I like grey. I like camo. I'd like to think that when I came across this shirt on a late night spontaneous Target trip (as those often do happen), it was destiny.

midi skirts skinny love

Photos by Landon

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.

this is madness, this is new york

Photos by Paulina

Guys, it's 46 degrees and I'm wearing less than 4 layers - an asymmetric skirt from Koshka (very much Helmut Lang inspired, but way more affordable!) that I've been dying to wear for the warmer weather and a collared shirt under a uniquely pea green colored open knit sweater. The lightweight trench is great to throw on anything, the color is classic and the silhouette is just so me. These TSUBO Footwear heels really changed the game for me. They're the most comfortable shoes I own - so far at least - and they're black, which means they're going with everything in my closet.

Yesterday it was snowing, today it's spring. This is madness. This is New York.

reintroduction to florals

When I was first introduced to Modavanti and their dedication to sustainable fashion. All the brands and products available on their site are eco-friendly and they donate 2% of their entire revenue to charity. They carry some pretty incredible brands, I was introduced to Westward Leaning and I was sold after I saw these matte black sunglasses with mirrored lens (Cindy, you need to check these out!). I've been carrying them in my bag hoping for a sunny day in New York City, with spring coming up, I'm sure I'll be rocking these everywhere.

Also, me in peplum? I'm starting to get into it. It cinches in my waist in the best way imaginable. Paired this girly Sugarlips top with my go-to baggy boyfriend jeans and heels. The second look featuring this trench coat had to be spring appropriate.
