While looking through these photos I couldn't help but think-- what would I have thought of this outfit 10 years ago?  
I would have hated it!  I would've thought it was too feminine (I was a total tomboy), too funky (I was super shy/timid), & a bit reminiscent of parachute pants (eek!).  
But at the present, this is one of my favorite outfits I've featured on the blog.   It's comfy, fun, and can easily take me from day to night.

What do you think?  Do you also find yourself thinking about how your fashion sense has changed over time?

Get Back

It's been ages since I've done a blog post, but I'm finally getting back into the swing of things.

Life has been a little bit crazy the past few months... and it got in the way of my favorite thing (blogging!).  But things are starting to fall back into place, and I'm so happy to be back!

Beanie Up

Is it just me, or do beanies seem to solve a lot of winter's fashion problems?

Think about it--

Bad hair day?  Cover it with a beanie.

Is your outfit too bland/boring?  Throw on a bright, fun beanie.

Have a cold, but still have to leave your bed?  Stay warm and cozy with a beanie.

Is it so windy that your hood/earmuffs/hat keep blowing off?  A beanie will solve that too.

Today I'm feeling a bit sick, am having a bad hair day, and don't want to face the rain/wind out there.  But I'll be facing the day with my trusty cat beanie, bold red lips, & comfy denim.

The Man Repeller pretty much summed up the awesomeness of the beanie (click here) recently.  

And who can argue with Leandra and the loads of street style snaps of these beanie-clad ladies...

P.S.  Thank you @daddifoto for the awesome cat beanie.

NYFW Recap (+ the winner of my giveaway is...)

Just a quick recap of my experience at NYFW through my Instagram...

My first show of the week-- Erin Barr.

 Lincoln Center looking magical at night.

The Alon Livne presentation was filled with avant-garde/futuristic gowns & headpieces.

I met Olivia Palermo outside of Lincoln Center!  And had a dumbstruck, doofy smile on my face. 

Then went shopping at Century 21 and came close to buying this black & white mod shift dress by Alice + Olivia (but unfortunately it was 1-2 sizes too big).

Two of the outfits I wore & got street style snapped in (let me know if you find pictures of them anywhere!)

My NYFW essentials-- my Nikon DSLR & an awesome little bag that wont weight me down.

My #NYFWdiet included lots of pizza & quick meals on the go.

My dream LBD & leather cut out dress at the Hernan Lander presentation 

 Last week was my second time attending NYFW, and I keep getting more and more involved/excited each time.  Unfortuneately work and an apartment search got in the way of me going to a lot more shows/events.  But I still and an amazing time at the shows & even just walking around the snowy streets street style watching.

Can't wait until next season!  Hopefully the weather wont be too extreme then.

And congratulations to Julie @Street Lily  for winning my Valentine's Day giveaway!
