First post in the new year! *popping champagne* (any excuse for some Veuve).
When I began this blogging journey, I really wasn’t sure what to expect – If I’d have the umph to stick with it,… or if anyone would give two hoots about what I was wearing, or the plethora of random thoughts spilled out on here. But three months later, I’m breaking into the new year still going, and I have to say, the love and support I’ve received from you all has been completely overwhelming, and been the highlight of many days past, and I hope for many to come.
Highlights from these first few months include getting followed by a few of my favorite brands, reaching the little milestones along the way (literally my boyfriend is so sick of me jumping on the furniture every time someone likes a post haha), old friends that have somehow come upon my blog and actually encouraged me instead of poking fun (no, I still haven’t told them),…
…and most of all, the new friends I have made – and all those personal comments, conversations, encouragement, etc along the way. So cheers to you all, and here’s to 2015!
Monochrome has been a prevailing trend for me lately… it’s easy when everything matches (aka read: less piles of clothes on the floor when I’m trying to dress). But I do mix it up with various tones of the same color. This day was nothing but neutral, and mostly grey at that. Favorite piece, the leather top is Kate Spade that I got for a steal at TJMaxx… less than $50….(reaching for another bottle of champagne…)
Tell me this doesn’t look like a Hugo Boss ad… I dare you. All I’m missing is a cut jaw line with a 5:00 shadow and a bare man-chest with glistening abs.
Love your monochrome outfit! I am a fan also! As a matter of fact I am dressed in cream and dirty pink, though I love black, I decided to add more color into my daily outfits! People are following you cause you have great style! Pls continue :)

Every time I come to your blog it’s like “BAM!” another great outfit! Not a lot of people I know can work a monochrome outfit like a boss (Hugo Boss to be exact) and you are one of those people that gets the look down pat! Have a great start to your week Kristina! And yes popping champagne to that Kate Spade steal is a must ;) xo~ Lena
