  8. These look amazing! I especially love the look with the shiny green leggings and the over-the-knee leg warmers... I want to rock that in about 6 months. In all black of course... =) Right now it makes me want to die. But its still beautiful.

  53. I love long coats for winter & they look even better when they are belted. I usually go for a black or caramel one and i accessorize it by changing belts or putting a lovely brooch.

    How is your summer?
