Under the Milky Way









Can't take these heels off. Funniest part is I got them over a month ago and am only just now wearing them. Closet cleanups are the best. For those who were inquiring in my last post on the socks, they're lambs wool from Bloomingdale's last Christmas. These partially fingerless gloves are not only fierce but functional. I can easily access my iPod and cell while still keeping my hands warm and toasty. The forever 21 boutique piece was previously worn here.

Living the charmed life is not about material possessions or status, it's about being a good person. If you can give any assistance or help to the people in Haiti, feel free to do so with the Red Cross here.


• I was recently interviewed and featured on youarewhoyouwear
• and style stalked by Corridor 40 thank you both.


H&M jacket, Forever 21 boutique tunic, Aldo heels, Etre Touchy gloves

I adore those Aldo heels! Wish I could find them! Great pictures- love how you did the galaxy feel/look to them :) And I too am a lover of fingerless gloves- the best are when they are arm warmers too :)

i love the way you edited the photos! the knee-socks are amazing -- i've been looking for a pair like that! and can i just say that i love how you're a "superblogger" but you take time to respond to comments (unlike others with popular blogs). it totally makes my day :)

Erika these pictures are definitely Stardust and Sequins material. ;-)

A Stylized Hysteria said...

Love the shoes and socks combo! You pull it off quite well. And how do you get the star effect in your photos? It's so cool!

tiny-lights said...

You have the best taste in shoes,. and how is it you always make everything you wear look so expensive? I love that about your blog. Style isn't throwing money on labels it's about STYLE clearly... and great ideas~! You;'ve got lots kid!!

Porcelain Blonde said...

Too, too cute! Loving all the sparkly starry goodness <3

Your rock knee socks so well. It's such a hard look to get right and you look perfect - fun but grown up and not cutesy. Plus, you must be one of the very few folks with cute knees!
Lovely mani and heels too.

I wore knee socks a lot last year but stopped when I got negative anon comments. How lame of me! When winter rolls around this year, I'll try again and use you for inspiration :) I find over the knees socks easy but knee socks harder...hmmmm?!

Love the ethereal look of these pics. What a great idea with the fingerless gloves. I spend half my life taking them of and putting them back on! (Lost a few that way too) The pumps are AMAZING...so are your legs! -T

cool pictures... BLAST OFF!

Susu Paris Chic said...

I like what you say about living not being about what you have, but about something much deeper. I mean, I love fashion, but for me it is only the beginning - not the end. We look nice and trendy... and then what do we do? Do we want to make a difference... to be remembered... by what?

That said, I love your playful pics!

Hi Erika,
the outfit is great and I like the effects on the picture. That's so cool.

Fashion Chalet said...

Thank you so much. :]

For the effect you can use either Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, just keep your images in separate layers and blend. :)

Dream Sequins said...

I love the stardust and the socks!! Hope you are enjoying the week, Erika.

Taylor Sterling said...

you look amazing I love the galaxy effect. I am going to try the sock and heel look soon! xoxo

stephanie said...

this post is TOO COOL FOR WORDS!
seriously, lady im freaking lol!!


and i know what you mean about owning heels and only getting into them a little later on. case in point with the similar aldo pumps im wearing in my latest post. i find they're easy to stand still in lol! i have a hard time walking in them cause my little toes squish to the front and then they end up a bit big, even though they arent big...ugh pumps give me the hardest time! if there was a mary-jane ankle strap on them it would be a whole lot better.


that's all :) lol!


love the twinkle ;) xx
