Lazy Days

Wildfox tshirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs pants, Sam Edelman flats, H&M bag, Free People sunglasses, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch, J. Fay earrings, Urban Outfitters necklace, ring from street vendor

The summer heat is approaching, and that means I've been able to break out all of my new warm weather clothes purchases I made over the winter. Like this Wildfox tee & MBMJ pants (both amazing sale finds at Century 21!).

I'm loving the combination of crop tops & high waisted pants for spring.  How about you?


P.S.  This look is quite reminiscent of my tomboy days when I wore nothing but wide leg jnco pants!

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!

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!

Like most New Yorkers, I have a ton of black in my wardrobe.  Some people think it's a bad thing... but black is such a common, essential, easy to wear shade.  

Today, one of my last days at New York Fashion Week, I decided to go back to my roots and wear nothing but shades of black and white.  I played with patterns (floral, leopard) and textures (cotton, silk, leather) to keep it interesting and playful, instead of drab and boring. 


Oh... and look who my photographer & I saw walking through Lincoln Center. 
Karlie Kloss!
Bruno got a few great photos of her as she rushed out of a show.
She's just as gorgeous in person as she is in photos, if not more so.

Calm Before The Storm...

 

Zara coat, Uniqlo by Pantone cashmere sweater, H&M shorts, H&M tights, Crown Vintage boots, Rebecca Minkoff bag, Forever 21 scarf, thrifted earrings, Michael Kors earmuffs, Fownes leather gloves

...the storm that is New York Fashion week anyway.

Today was the last normal, fairly calm day before a crazy, hectic (yet, fun filled) week that lies ahead for me.

Tomorrow I'm starting my 2nd NYFW experience (couldn't get off from work to do so today).  And the next few days will be filled with runway shows, presentations, and to top it all off apartment hunting.  So I'll probably be looking a lot like I do in that last picture if you happen to see me.

Wish me luck!

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink

 Zara coat, American Apparel polo shirt, Uniqlo jeans, Rebecca Minkoff bag, Payless flats, Murano glass ring, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch

One of my new years resolutions this year was to try new things.  Especially when it comes to my style / blog.  

Something I haven't done in years was to wear pink.  I'm one of the few women who just does not like pink.  But somehow this pink polo that my boyfriend was about to throw out became my new favorite shirt. 

P.S.  Bonus points if you know where I got my title from

...It's been too long

 I'm glad to be back

Finally, after a long hiatus I'm back to blogging!  Life was really hectic/stressful over the holiday season and it was so cold in NYC that it was hard to get motivated.  Luckily this week was warm enough to get out and do a shoot.

Flared

H&M sweater, Vince wide leg jeans, Uniqlo cashmere scarf, Steve Madden heels, Rebecca Minkoff bag, J. Fay earrings, Topshop heart ring, H&M ring, Forever21 "love" ring

I've been searching for a pair of high waisted, wide leg jeans for ages... and last week I finally found the perfect pair from Vince at Nordstrom Rack.  Normally I admire the clothing from Vince, but never actually purchase it because it's a bit out of my price point.  But these jeans were so discounted, and so perfect that I just couldn't resist.

Suit Up

H&M blazer, Zara blouse, H&M shorts, vintage Dooney & Bourke bag, Steve Madden heels, Free People sunglasses, vintage earrings, Kate Spade necklace, Topshop ring

I'm usually not one for business attire (my job doesn't even call for it), but when I saw this short suit at H&M last week I just couldn't resist. I love it's neutral color scheme because it allows me to pair it with fun colors and prints.  And the shorts keep it fun and playful, and not too business-like.

A little more denim on denim for you today.  It has to be one of my favorite trends of the year by far.

Fall is in the air and I couldn't be happier.  

Don't get me wrong-- I love the sunny, beachy, lazy days of summer 

but the humidity & smog of NYC gets tiring fast.

And most importantly-- Fall is probably the most fun and exciting season for fashion

(Can't wait for NYFW either!)
