Looks by Larissa: Moschino Boots

Spring is finally in the air. Today the sun was shining and students were soaking up the rays on the grass in every spot of sunlight. On this day, I opted for one of my most favorite pieces: Leggings from H&M with a suede detail. These unique leggings can take any outfit to the next level. I have received countless compliments whenever I wear them.

I am also wearing Moschino vintage ankle boots, which are one of my most recent purchases. These leather boots were beautifully made in Italy, and I am in love with them! On top, I am wearing a basic white T-shirt with a vintage, light blue jean vest, I picked the vest up on the streets of Mexico in a tiny little vintage shop for only $1.50. It's super lightweight and simple, and I can pair it with almost any top on warm days.

Shoe details after the break...

Patterned Leggings

Have you noticed the patterned legging trend this season? Apparently, leggings aren't just for warmth anymore; they're a stand-alone fashion statement.

The most prevalent patterns we've seen are stripes, polka dots, and fair isle knits. Besides patterns, we're also seeing a wide variety of textures, such as cozy waffle knits (to resemble thermal underwear) and lightweight merino wool.

Want to give it a try? Let your legs serve as the only pattern in your outfit. Like the models above, keep the rest of your ensemble simple and neutral. If you're not feeling so bold, let your patterned leggings peek out from under a knee-length dress or skirt and pair with tall boots.

Would you wear patterned leggings?

Bondage Leggings

Yup, that's right bondage leggings. Honestly, I am not sure if that is what they are really calling them but it works for me. Clearly the boring black legging just isn't doing it anymore so we've starting ripping them (which I love) cutting them (also love) and um now bonding them? I'm not sure if I love this yet, time will tell. Though I think they're pretty interesting, might try em out. I do like the ones in the photo, they look pretty rad.

What do you guys think? Are we going too crazy with the legging craze?

Black Rats Leggings!

Sass & Bide, oh how we love thee! Remember these shinny ruched leggings that hit the runway in their Fall 2008 show? They were not even supposed to be released to the public but caused such a frenzy, from New York to Australia they started production.  Hey, I guess when you want something bad enough all you have to do is demand it! That is just what the public did and how nice of Sass & Bide to listen. These leggings are a must have, and let me tell you, SUPER hard to track down. They sell out just as fast as they stock them.  Despite their intentions, Sass & Bide struck gold with their "Rats Leggings". Yep, that is what they're called, after all they look a little rat tail-ish. They definitely turned out to be quite the hot commodity. These rad leggings will set you back about $145, a little more than your regular legging, but hey, all your friends will definitely be jealous. 

Peace <3
