Those Days in BK

Wearing: Mcginn Blazer | Cheap Monday Beanie | Urban Outfitters Plaid Shirt | ASH Booties 

It's always a nice getaway when venturing into Brooklyn for whatever excuse comes my way. This time it was a visit to the Nifty Thrifty HQ that took me on the L train to Bedford Avenue - the avenue of the oh-so-cool and oh-so-Brooklyn. I had the chance to check out the thousands of pounds worth of vintage clothing Nifty Thrifty has in their archive, and you bet there's an awesome collaboration coming up with us two in the near future. BTW - if you haven't yet, sign up here. I topped of my day with a salted caramel macaroon from an oh-so-brooklyn-cafe Toby's Estate.

Rebecca Minkoff: 3 Ways

Look 1: Rebecca Minkoff Jacket & Bag | ASOS Dungarees | Rachel Roy Loafers 

Look 2: Rebecca Minkoff Jacket & Bag | James Jeans | Theory Tee | Alexander Wang Heels

Look 3: Rebecca Minkoff Jacket & Bag | LF Skirt - Similar | American Apparel Crop Top | Zara Booties 

When asked to style 1 bag, and 1 jacket, 3 different ways - I was of course up for the challenge. I'm obsessed with this leather sleeve jacket and even though its red, has turned out to be very versatile. The bag is adorable too, and perfect for when I'm going out at night. From the time I started blogging until now, I've watched Rebecca Minkoff grow her brand and expand in ways unimaginable for such a short period of time. The team over at RM has grabbed social media by the horns, and have jumped on the blogger ship more than other brand I know/work with. They truly know what it takes... not to mention the designs and products have become better and better with every season. The RM runway show was one of my favorites this past fashion week - and even the newly launched jewelry is right up my alley. ALERT: Rebecca Minkoff is a brand to watch.

Fancy Sweats

Wearing: LF Sweatshirt (in stores now) | Zara Skirt | Sam Edelman Boots (co) | ASOS Beanie | ShopJeen Sunnies | Ouroboros Ring

I might have a slight obsession with beanies and sweatshirts this Fall.. A- because I don't have to worry about my hair with a beanie/can keep warm and B- because sweatshirts are just too comfy. But hey, we can dress these two things up, can't we? Like so, the embellished arms on this sweatshirt totally changes the look and adding a leather peplum skirt with knee high boots makes the outfit a bit fancy (or in my case, acceptable NYC street wear). Don't be afraid to whip out those ordinary sweatshirts you've had for years - just give them a second look and you can turn them into something new by studding, bleaching, cutting, or embellishing the sleeves/collar. 

SUPER WHAT?

Wearing: LF Skirt | Mia Shoes

Ah good old Friday, how I long for you. Today was great because of amazing news I received about Stockholm, a great coffee date with the ever cool Craig from Altamira (modelsoffduty), caught up with tech superhero Rebecca Zhou, and got a few great emails regarding future collaborations. Thanks to you guys, my trusty followers, opportunities I never dreamed possible have been coming my way. I really feel like one lucky gal.

OOTD
