Good to be back

Hiatus over starting…now.

Hello!

This blog is newly revamped thanks to the lovely Hannah and I am absolutely loving it.

Diving in, these past two days have been absolutely gorgeous and it infected my mood and seemingly everyone else's as well!

I recently did a shoot with my photog friend and I have to say this is one my favorite outfits.


The strut is real…or so I'd like to think. Honestly everyone needs to get a pair of trousers like these. They're flowy and sit at the waist, hugging those curves (or what little I have ;) )


Shoes shoes shoes. I've been dying for an ankle boot with a heel and here they are!


POW! cropped sweater keeps it fun when it's still a bit chilly.


This is a gorgeous wall, isn't it?

Alright, so although I am very much fashion-minded, this blog is going to be a bit more lifestyle from now on…I say as if I have a proper plan. Well stay tuned. x

Staying warm and staying fresh

On a recent shopping spree, I went mad with power. I got some fun stuff and a ton of sweaters.


This is one of the outfits I came away with. Both sweater and skirt are from H&M and those tights are from New Look. Oh how I miss London so…those tights are honestly perfection. I adore thigh highs, but my only problem is that they fall down a lot. Guess I walk a bit too vigorously.

Anywho, one of my fav outfits for sure. And I'm a huge advocate of not necessarily needing to mute the entire wardrobe just because it gets dark earlier, you feel me?

And yeah I was mid sip in this picture, but tis the season for warm beverages!

Make tea, not war.

I have been absent

MY FAULT. All my fault. I am seriously making an early New Year's resolution to be better about this blogging.

However, can I just say that I witnessed my first bit of snowfall today!! It was magical, in the sense that fancy water was falling from the sky and into my eye. But it was quite pretty.

So sweater weather (has been) and is upon us!

Here is my look of today, very warm and simple.


Got the sweater from the Aqua line at Bloomingdale's and the pants are from Urban Outfitters. My boots are my trooper combat boots, which have honestly been with me through thick and thin for nearly a year now. Steve Madden and one of my best buys ever.


Hey that's my face, closer. Dunno if you can see the bits of detail on the shoulder, but they're zippers and adds a lil something something to the sweater in my opinion. It's cosy and cashmere.

If I could marry cashmere, I would.


And this was my lovely winter's day. It was actually snowing while I took this picture, but you know how falling snow is, so self-conscious.

So sorry again for no update recently. But it shall change…I err…hope.

To My Best Friend

So my best friend left to travel the world last week. Her first stop: Italy (living her dream of working on a farm/vineyard in Florence), then she's off the Sri Lanka.

She's absolutely crazy in the best possible way.

I miss her so much already so here's a throwback to a photo shoot we did together this summer.

This is the lovely Janelle.


I did her styling and her hair for this shoot. Don't be afraid to mix it up and throw on random pieces. Clothes sometimes have a mind of their own, and when they want to work, they will.

I think she is absolutely radiant. She has an amazing soul and spirit. I am so privileged to call her my best friend.


And here's me lol. I love love love this outfit I got in London (from New Look to be exact) and I paired it with my faux Converse platform sneakers. I was digging a pin-up vibe.

Sigh, I miss my long hair --- especially with the ombre.

Our looks were very different, but that doesn't stop us from getting in front of the camera together.


So very serious.


So very typical.

All in all this was a shout out to my pining for my best friend. Return soon my love! And stay safe!


Also if you want to check out Janelle's amazing adventures, check out her blog here.

New City.

Well I am back after suffering the woes of moving!

I'm now in a brand new city: New York!

I've had to leave my lovely London behind for now and focus on schooling here.

But the fashion continues!

I've been ridiculously busy with moving, starting classes, and joining every club under the sun basically, so sadly I haven't been taking photos like I usually do.

But! I do have a few to share


I was digging an urban vibe. I adore my dark red jean vest. I threw a little white crop top underneath and paired it with my tribal skirt! Sadly I do not have long shot, but I paired this with my black knee highs and staple combat boots (I really should've brought more shoes).


This was near the Hudson. My lovely friend and photographer, Hannah, snapped this and dug it in black and white.


And last picture! I'm an ocean girl...attached to my city girl label. The smell of salt water is good for the soul, doncha think?

I seriously will try to update more frequently!

LaLaLa-Los Angeles

So I visited my bro this summer in one of my favorite cities: LA!

No only did I do an abundance of bonding, sight-seeing, and meeting some pretty cool people, but of course I also shopped.

Haven't posted any pics of the trip, but here are some of my favorite pics


The lights at the LACMA are always amazing to me (and the very girly part of me takes note of the No Strings Attached reference...yah yah I know).


Got this cute little crop top and cardigan at Windsor when I went out to Long Beach for the weekend (yay for shopping with my soon-to-be sister-in-law!)


And this was from one of my favorite little hangouts on the broski's apartment roof. If the camera was a bit more to the right, you'd see the Hollywood sign (uh huh I can be a tourist...sue me).

This dress is one of my favorite new possessions from Bloomingdale's. Such a cute sundress

All the stuff I got in LA can be found in my LA haul video right here (click it!...click it now...)

Beachin' Styles

Summer, summer

You've come and gone so fast.

But bathing suits, crop tops, and pimped out shorts are still the norm!

So I just got back! My girls and I spent the weekend at the beach apartment where we had the perfect combo of naps in the sunshine, splashes in the ocean, and good ol' girly time.

The frill bathing suits have been popping up all over the place and I had to get in on that. Rocked this VS bathing suit on the first day:


Don't you hate it when your body can look great in your opinion when you're no where near going to the beach, but then as soon as you hit the sand...you don't know what you were ever thinking?

Oh insecurities.

But other than that I loved my out fit of choice for the second day! Rockin a retro sarong with my white crop top


Finally, my favorite evening outfit of the weekend: my chill boho ensemble


You can see three of my gorgeous best friends with me.


So what can I say, life is good and if anything I've learned to be more comfortable with myself (roaming free in bikinis for 4 days straight can do that to ya)
