Fashion on a budget

As some of you may know, I'm going to New York in less than a month to celebrate New Year's Eve and because of Christmas (and my Burberry/Isabel Marant purchases) I have to cut down on the budget.
That isn't, however, something negative. I love using cheaper stores like Forever 21 to buy those fashionable items that might go out of fashion extremely quickly or that you might just not use very often.
They also make great Christmas gifts if you're sure about the girl's style.
Here's what caught my eye:

Studded Sweater

Metallic Sweater in cream/gold (can you tell I'm addicted to comfortable clothes?)

Spiked Collar Moto Jacket

Studded Clutch

Studded Bodycon Skirt

That's all on my list so far. If something else comes up I'll make sure to add it in some post before I leave, along with my beauty 'to get' list.

Stay fashionable, on a budget.

New Year's Eve Plans!

Have you peaked yet? If so, you might have realized I'm spending 2012/2013 New Year's Eve in NYC! I was there this past Summer but there's nothing like spending part of your Winter.
It has always been on my mom's bucket list, going there and just live all the excitement of the ball drop. I'm looking forward to it and as a fashion blogger the first thing I did as soon as I found out about these (amazing!) news was dive into net-a-porter and droll.
These are some of the things that caught my eye and that I'd love to have. The Ladurée macaroons, also known as the best macaroons worldwide, are a must, and the only thin I want even more than that is iceskating in the Rockefeller Center. It'll be a dream come true.
I'm gonna stop ranting about this amazing city and let you take a look down and see what made me die and go to the fashion-heaven. Oh, and sorry for the black takeover on the set. It's just that nothing can go wrong with classic black items.
