Living in Seattle isn’t easy when it to comes to fashion, so I do most of my shopping online. Thankfully, Topshop delivers to the states essentially allowing me to add a little UK flavor to my wardrobe.

I just got this new poppy tiered mini from Topshop and couldn’t wait to try it out with my latex leggings (click here to view my post on latex leggings from last week).

Here are a couple of ways I put it together. I think I like the first ensemble best (posted in FabSugar’s Lookbook), but feel free to chime in and leave a comment on your favorite!

What am I wearing?

“Peace may sound simple – one beautiful word – but it requires everything we have, every quality, every strength, every dream, every high ideal.” Yehudi Menuhin 

In honor of a dear friend’s bday (let’s just call her Shelbypeace), I was inspired to give a tribute to the two things most commonly associated with her personal style: peace and tie dye. Aside from her free spirit, she’s as far away from a hippie as imaginable (she loves to rock her MJ shades and lusts after Balenciaga bags), but you can always count on finding at least one peace symbol embedded into her outfit.
