I don't know about you but I do most of my shopping and discovering on instagram these days. My new discovery has quickly become my new style crush and it's a brand new up and coming line called Lingua Franca. If you love hip hop, and you love soft cashmere on your skin you're going to love these sweaters too. The designer hand stitches rap lyrics in feminine script onto sweaters in bold pop-y colors. As of now I only know all info from their Instagram account @linguafrancanyc and that sweaters were being sold at the new Saks Fifth Avenue Downtown and Five Story. Sadly, that's all the info I have on this new up and comer... so for now enjoy their instagram account, and these screen shots below of some of my favorite one of a kind pieces!

This screen shot was taking a while ago when I knew fall weather was ahead and I'd need some outfit ideas. As New Yorkers, there are very few opportunities to truly dress in a seasonally transitional look. We go straight to cold from hot and then back again... there's not much in between. But sometimes there are a few great Fall days, like recently, when you can dress like a Californian and mix your warm clothing with your cool. My absolute favorite California cool blogger and style inspiration is Sincerely Jules. She can pull off cashmere and cutoffs like no one other, and never misses when it comes to finishing with a great bag and the perfect 1/2 tuck. Clearly, she's the perfect Screen Shot Steal for something like this!

My version here is a maternity/pregnant version but the look can work on anyone and can easily be found in your closet!
