The Varsity Jacket

After a brief hiatus I am bringing back street style InstaGlam.  Today’s InstaGlam pic is courtesy of the fabulous Audrey Cotton, who I cornered and photographed at the Fundrise Investor party event.  Audrey is flawlessly rocking the varsity jacket.  The look is such a great success because she pairs the bulky classic piece with a sleek black maxi and cropped top (another one of my obsessions for spring).  This look is daring and fabulous!

*Semi-disclaimer: the reason I took a mini InstaGlam break is because the quality of the pictures can sometimes be questionable because they are taken with my phone and normally in a setting with less than ideal lighting.  So please forgive the shotty camera work, because this outfit was just too amazing to not share*

The key to pulling off a successful cropped top is moderation and only showing a little peek-abo of skin

Happy Holidays!! This edition of InstaGlam is dedicated to a fabulous fashionista I met at my brother’s birthday party.  Jocelyn looked absolutely incredible in leather and pleats, a stunning and unexpected combination.  Each aspect of her outfit was executed with flawless purpose, from her gold accessories to the blindingly neon shoes she was absolute perfection!  Jocelyn’s ensemble is also so fantastic because it is appropriate for many occasions and would be an absolute show stopper on New Years!

For more insta style follow me on instagram and of course twitter!

I love the contrast between the leather and pleats and how fabulous is her mani!

I love the contrast between hard (leather) and soft (pleats).  The gold accents are also do die for.

This week’s instaglam pictures were taken while I was in Austin, TX. Acting as the host to delicious restaurants, unique boutiques and great music, Austin is an incredible city that fosters innovation and creativity.  I had the most wonderful time in Austin and cannot wait to go back.  The city has so much to offer from music to food to fashion to fun Austin is a must visit!  I snapped these pictures in the bathroom of a bar and thankfully she was a wonderful sport.  I am obsessed with every detail of this look and what makes it even more fabulous is that the outfit is almost completely vintage or thrifted.

For more pictures from my trip follow me on instagram and twitter (@gardenofglam)!

This look was flawlessly styled! I love the simple black and white palette and her knotted cropped tank!

Simply obsessed with this bag!

I love a red lip and the gold accents, layered accessories and ombre do!

Instaglam

Welcome to the inaugural edition of GofG’s street style! With my (hopefully) weekly edition of instaglam, I will feature a fabulously clad pedestrian found strutting down the streets of DC.  This week, I stalked Catherine, whose style was absolutely impeccable and caught my eye on my evening commute on the green line.  Catherine was kind enough to let me take a picture of her and she even complimented DC’s style, which says a lot considering she is from NY.  Anyway, enjoy the very first instaglam post and tune in for more fab street style pics.

You can also see my street style pics on my instagram (Garden of Glam), as well as other fun pics of me, my friends and my life.

Sweater: Ralph Lauren, Blouse: H&M, Shorts: H&M, Shoes: Target, Bag: Coach

Layered perfection

It’s hard to tell because it is black on black, but she is rocking shorts with tights.  I absolutely love winter shorts and am obsessed with the shoes!
