Collections We Love: Balmain S/S 2014

Collections We Love: Balmain S/S 2014
After seeing Rihanna's Instagram pics of her modeling looks from the Balmain Spring/Summer 2014 Collection, I needed to see more! The campaign gives me the feeling of a glam princess mixed with dash of late 80's, early 90's hip hop. Thick gold chains, over-sized cardigans with matching…

In my last few attempts to travel to New York, including this past Tuesday, it's been a major snowstorm! But this day was slightly different. The forecast still called for snow, but the kind that just blew around and looked pretty. Since it was still cold, I decided to layer up starting with a…
