Street Style Superstar: Julia Frakes

Let's just say nowadays it is hard for me to get inspired by our so called "trendsetters." The Kardashians?    Come on... please. Rachel Bilson? Been there, done that. You want to see a completely and utterly innovative trendsetter that takes street style to the ultimate? That is Julia Frakes. Fashion blogger for Paper Magazine and her own blog Bunny Bisous, Frakes is usually spotted at all of the fashion weeks, as well as in our favorite magazines (Vogue, Teen Vogue, etc). I think she is as cute as a button and I absolutely adore her style. I swear I could swoon at photos of her all day long. Her look is eclectic, quirky, and whimsical, yet always looks polished and on point. Perfection in my eyes. Take a look at some of my favorite snaps of her below. Happy New Year everyone! XO, Liza

 Gorgeous head to toe! 

 Nerdy chic.

 Julia sitting front row rocking her Rodarte X Opening Ceremony Sunglasses and Pamela Love ring.

 This ensemble kills me. Who in the world would think to pair that Chloe Sevigny X Opening Ceremony dress with the matching tights? Julia of course...

 Darling in her winter whites. I love too that she wears the crap out of all of her shoes. You rarely see that in the fashion world, as these people have a brand new pair on in every photo.

 That dress!!! The gorgeous Pamela Love necklace. The Proenza bag. The red patent wedges. Droooooool.

 This is just adorable in every way.

 The variety in her ensembles is truly endless. I love the turquoise socks with this whole feel black and blue feel.

 A girl that is not afraid to wear tons of color. That is a a true fashion icon to me.

 This might be my favorite out of the bunch. What are those pom pom tights because I need them! And that little coat? SO cozy looking!

 That coat is sick. Marni maybe?

Looking oh so sweet as usual.

Giant snowflake ornament. One of my favorites by far.

Festive house decor.

Winter Time Fun: Christkindlmarket Chicago

Although I am Jewish, who says I can't enjoy Christmas time too? My man is half and half, so I am finally going get to celebrate my first Christmas this year!

Ring a Ding Ding!

K, so I don't know about you guys, but I am waaaaay over this whole "arm party" thing. My best friend and I were doing that since we were in our teens (we called them stacks) and personally, I think it's become super played out. That being said, I'm gonna start a ring celebration! Hahaha! Kidding! I've always stacked rings though and wear a bunch on each hand, so I've gathered some of my favorites that I guess you can say are on my never ending wish list. From inexpensive to way out of my price range, there's something for everyone. Hope you enjoy! XO, Liza

Monserat De Lucca Lighter Ring, $55. Now I don't smoke, nor do I encourage it, but who says you can't wear a little gold lighter on your finger? This ring is beyond chic and at 55 bucks? Done and done! I love jewelry that catches people off guard and they immediately go, "WHAT is that?"

Eddie Borgo Bear Trap Ring, $225. I am obsessed with all of Eddie Borgo's designs (see an old blog post I did on him from I LIVE FOR IT here). It is fun, yet refined with a quirky little twist. This ring would look amazing with a bunch of other rings on the hand. The more the merrier, right? 

 Made Her Think X- Ray Stacked Helmut Ring, $75. How pretty is this one by Made Her Think? I love rose gold jewelry and again, another ring that is somewhat simple AND edgy. 

 Pamela Love Silver Navajo Ring, $195. Everything and anything Pamela Love touches is perfection. I don't know one fashionista that doesn't adore her designs. Usually I wear gold, but I would definitely mix this ring in with my everyday ones. 

ManiaMania Dali Ring, $180. ManiaMania is a fabulous jewelry line from Australia and many of their gorgeous pieces are available on my favorite shopping site, Bona Drag. All of their rings are awesome, but this one is one of my faves. Most recently, I even got to grab it, as I won Bona Drag's first ever contest! Yay!  

Aurelie Bidermann Helmet Ring, $1,050. K, so I had to throw this one in for good measure. Let's try and ignore the high price and just stare in amazement at this GORGEOUS ring. I LOVE it! Too bad it's cost an arm and a leg. 

WANT, NEED, MUST HAVE: Charlotte Olympia Kitty Flats

Move over Marc Jacobs Mouse Flats and welcome Charlotte Olympia's Kitty Flats! I no doubt, LOVE cats in every way possible: real ones, photos of them, on sweaters, tights, and now flats! I am now dreaming of the day I can pick up the babies and put them on my feet. Black velvet with patent leather trim and a cat face and ears embroidered in gold. I am completely sold. What do all my readers think? Whether they are for you or not, you have to admit how darn cute they are! Happy Friday! XO, Liza

 Ahhh!!! IN LOVE!

 I wouldn't expect anyone else, but Alexa to throw the kitty flats on with a Valentino mini dress, killer sunglasses, and a studded Valentino clutch. Obviously.

Love how Alexa, Katy, and Sarah Jessica all wore them completely different. Dressy to super casual, these flats are beyond versatile.
