lemon/purple

Vintage Purple faux fur. American Apparel t-shirt. H&M leather pants. Forever 21 shoes. American Apparel Bag.

SUNNY. Looking at these pictures sure makes me miss the nice weather I enjoyed during my last three days in New York, it’s been snowing the entire day in Stockholm and going bare feet in a pair of heels would be suicide. However, I’m heading to Milan fashion week for a couple of days on friday and couldn’t be more excited! Not sure what to pack but all I can think of is color, color, color.

This American Apparel pouch is the latest addition to the non existing yellow section of my wardrobe, but I predict that it won’t be the last one. Love the contrast of bright yellow against the purple fur & the green nailpolish!

I love your shoes!! I saw some similar ones at New Look (since Forever 21 is out of my reach here in Belgium), but they sold out before I could get to them. Damnit! Cute clutch as well btw. Love the neon.
