Get Your Feet Wet
I almost choked on my sandwich when I started reading about the company Neuaura. I have to admit that I didn’t go looking for an eco-friendly shoe—it found me. I saw a picture of their flats and thought, yes those are awesome.
I did some research on them and was pretty impressed by how eco-chic they are. Not only is this Brazilian factory producing beautiful shoes that are vegan friendly and do...

Pawn Takes Queen
It doesn’t always happen but it’s possible for a Pawn to capture the Queen. Just as rare is finding a pair of earrings that perfectly juxtapose posh downtown with classic uptown. But here it is, Flutter earrings handmade in NYC. What’s up now New York! Next time I’m forced to sport crutches in Manhattan you better believe I’ll have these on as I limp my way around...

Get Your Pipes Checked
I swear the groundhog said spring was coming early this year… well, it may still be a few months off but you can’t stop me thinking about the awesome footwear that’s out now. I love these canvas heels outlined in leather piping and trust me, these pipes check out..

Blue Collar Criminal
Well, it’s definitely a crime to look this good. I love how easy this shirt looks, so casual but can still be dressed up if needed. How come men can just roll out of bed, throw on a shirt like this and look awesome? Now thats a crime!

Anonymous asked: Hi Hunter Style,
I saw the Rebecca Minkoff purse you recently posted about, in one of last weeks Wall Street Journal's (the personal journal section). I not only love following your blog, but also how in tune you are with style that even the media can't catch up ;) Here's a link to the Journal's article...

Keep Calm and Carry On
I like to cruise Etsy every so often for cool prints or jewelry and kept coming upon this particular print. I really liked the style and it’s core message but saw it repeated so often that I figured it was some Banksy print people were copying. Turns out it has a much cooler history. Originally designed in 1939 by England’s Ministry of Information, these posters were meant to...

Luck Be a Lady Tonight
Well, it’s decided. I’m just going to have to ice skate to work when I wear this because this dress demands gliding! Or maybe I can just stand in front of a fan and pretend I’m in the movie Labyrinth. Who wants to be my David Bowie?

Where did you get that hickey?
Remember back in Highschool when you actually did get hickeys? Yeah…uh…me either..
Anyway, Gilly Hicks is basically the Australian version of Abercrombie and Fitch. Except they aren’t, thank God. This company has great sleepwear and underwear because it’s simple yet flirty. You can tell ‘em Sydney gave you the Hickey. Wink Wink.

Blessed with good Genes
Grey, in my opinion, is the coolest denim wash you can buy right now. I’m so excited about getting these that I actually started bidding on a pair on Ebay… and it’s probably been about 8 years since I used Ebay for personal shopping. (Note to shoppers: These particular J Brand jeans are very very hard to find in smaller sizes. I’m getting a headache looking for...

Anyone got a light?
I’m not sure what’s better.. Watching girls fight each other on roller-skates or owning a few of these lights by John Beck Paper & Steel. Since I’m a female the former option will eventually lose its appeal so I’m going to have to pick the lights. Besides, if your home decor had a fight club while you were away at work these lights would kick every inanimate objects...

You are never going to guess where I found these…
I adore skinny cargo pants for spring, pair them with heels and I’m in love. My only problem with this look is that usually when you find them, they have big pockets on the sides that negate the whole “skinny” look you were trying to achieve in the first place. These pants by William Rast for Target skip the pockets...

Dont skirt the issue
Listen up ladies, it’s only going to get warmer as we move from winter to spring. Pieces like this skirt by Fremont are perfect for wearing now and later. Helloooo legs! Keep in mind that you may want to throw on some self tanner so you don’t blind the passerbys checking out your naked gams! Yeehoo!

The Buck Stops Here
Like Babe Ruth on the plate I’m calling this one. It’s going to be all about nude toned jackets this spring. Did I mention they are all faux leather or faux suede? And you thought motorcycle jackets couldn’t get any hotter…

Best Red Dress: Part 3

Murdered Out
Technically these Supra High Tops aren’t “murdered out” because the sole is white but I think I prefer them that way. And these Black Scale headphones aren’t Bose noise canceling quality but they are really comfortable and look great.
But honestly, what I really wanted to say was:
Just waking up in the morning gotta thank God
I don't know but today seems kinda...

you are black swan
There is a scene in Black Swan of no significance (with regards to apparel) where Natalie Portman is wearing a sweatshirt and jeans while sitting on the floor of her apartment. It’s weird but of all the amazing costumes in the film I really fell in love with her super casual and graceful look.
My favorite way to re-create this look (with an un urban twist of course) is with these...

my big fat greek lipgloss
I’ve seen the Greek beauty brand Korres around but never really bothered to try it out. On a recent trip to Sephora I devoted myself to their display and I have to say, they have some really nice items in their line. My favorite were the lip butter glazes (my personal pick was Jasmine). Not sticky, smelled sweet but not overpowering, and made my lips look great. And the best part? The...

The Greatest Paramour A Girl Can Have
Cheating doesn’t really look attractive on people, but you know what does look good? A love affair with a great bag. Well, there you have it. I took a few looks at this and was ruined.

Wedding Crashers
I have a wedding reception to go to this month and honestly I don’t feel like putting much work into this. I don’t want to be showy or wear bright colors. I don’t want to stand out in some dress that screams Look at me! Look at me! Basically I’d like to look simple.. just not boring. Man, do I sound like a complainer or what? (Give me a break, it is February in...

Jeans for Time Travelers
You’re checking out Levis Vintage Clothing (LVC) Denim highlighting a pair of 505 jeans from 1967. They look great right? Well thats probably because Levis created a “snapshot in time”. These bad boys are exactly the same Levis your dad probably bought. Spooky? Not really, just cool.

how do you view the world?
I’m no fool guys, I’m pretty sure half of you aren’t fans of the aviators I just posted. So I’m throwing on my own rose colored glasses and giving you another pick. If your more into eclectic frames, these Marni shades are amazing and ridiculously marked down today on Gilt.com from $360 to $49. Isn’t there some holiday coming up where people buy each other gifts...

There Is An Eye In Team
Everyone knows about these “boyfriend” styles that originated from girls wearing their boyfriend’s jeans and sweaters for that relaxed and super worn-in feeling. Well unfortunately for me I’m 5’2 and my guy is 6 foot..which makes the whole wearing your boyfriend’s jeans thing a little comical.
But there is one thing that we always share. My Ray Bans. I am such a fan of these...

Made in the USA
In my humble opinion, I think that Men have a much cooler selection of winter boots than Women do. Yuketen boots, I have been told, are the best. A good friend of mine says this about them, “These boots exemplify everything a boot should, high function first, with the added bonus of skilled artisan design and top-grade materials. They are manly, yet sophisticated. Like Joe Namath...

Hunted and Styled: Reese Witherspoon
Ahh..Don’t you wish we could all have a personal stylist so that Poof! we looked this good every day? Hmm.. well who says you can’t! Reese is wearing her Hunter Wellies in this photo but the outfit was actually completed with a pair of peep-toe nude heels.
You can find a white lace dress from anywhere really, most of them look stylish regardless of price and I have a feeling...

When it rains it pours
I know what you’re thinking…this chick lives in Chicago (notorious for destroying umbrellas) and thinks you should spend $24 on one? Well, you’re right, usually I could care less about an umbrella because I know it won’t last long. I’ve been through so many umbrellas that I even dedicated a whole work to this absurdity in my senior gallery show in college.
BUT sometimes you see something...

Animal Instinct
You know, believe it or not, I actually struggle with the whole “animal print” thing. I think it’s one of those prints that looks terrible 99% of the time. However, the few times that I have admired someone wearing an animal print is when it was on their feet. It seems to be less… in your face that way. Nobody wants head to toe cheetah staring them in the face. Animal...

Suck On This
…Well, if you were a European baby in the 1950’s you may have. These bottles are vintage originals, salvaged in Antwerp, Belgium. What a great gift for someone to use as a vase or to serve your homemade lemonade in. Because I know all of you are out there making lemonade from scratch.

February Little Black Dress
Is it any wonder that for February, given the obvious association to Valentine’s Day, my LBD pick is all about romance, lace and frills? And ladies, if you don’t have romance, at least you can wear it! Champagne cocktails anyone?
