B&W Chronicles

Wearing: Vince Pants | Singer22 Jacket | Zara Sweater | Topshop Boots | Prada Sunglasses 

COMME des F*DOWN

Wearing: The Cut Tee | Work Custom Pants | Zara Jacket | Alexander Wang Heels | 3.1 Phillip Lim Bag

This look I wore the other day defines what I loved so much about visiting Stockholm, Sweden this past summer - the fashion. Skinny pants, pointy toe heels, a casual tee, and long sleek coat (with a little New York edge). Crossing my fingers that I'll get to travel back to that amazing place again this summer for Stockholm Fashion Week. But first, NYFW... ah so soon!

Céline Me Alone

Wearing: Céline Tee | Zara Blazer - Similar | Reformation Pants - Similar | Topshop Shoes | Vanessa Mooney Rings 

Today is the start of a bitter cold week, which even though means my boyfriend can't complain about me wearing faux fur, simply sucks. I took these pics last week when the weather seemed like the start of Spring - and now with a total 360, it's below 20 degrees - you're so weird mother nature. Anyways, I had a very intimate conversation with a few friends the other day over what we're going to do in the summer (in regards to head dressing). I've been wearing beanies almost everyday this season and have gotten way too used to them. So slowly but surely I'll start to let my locks naturally flow (to get over my beanie addiction) before the warm weather hits again. 

Minimalistic

Wearing: Zara Pants | Aritzia Top | Helmut Lang Jacket | 3.1 Phillip Lim Bag | Gypsum Spike Bracelet | All Saints Beanie

I'm laying in bed right now - slightly burnt and slightly damaged from last night's party/gambling in the Dominican Republic. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining - this has been incredible vacation and it will be hard to leave this perfect weather. By the way, I hear it's snowing in NY (hah). Max (my also burnt boyfriend) says hi too and wants you to know he's killing it at the casino. Here's another outfit post from before I left - I checked out Aritzia recently and I'm very impressed with.

On Jane Street

Wearing: Zara Sweater & Pants | H&M Heels (in stores now)

Hey from the Dominican Republic - Punta Cana!! It's only day 2 and I'm having the most amazing vacation. The beaches are beautiful, the sun is slowly burning my skin (ouch), and I'm winning big at the casino (so far - don't jinx it). 

So of course these pics we're taken in NYC, I knew I couldn't just leave the country without setting up a few outfit posts. I'm very obsessed with these new pointy toe wedges from H&M (they remind me of Céline) and look good with so many different bottoms. Go now to an H&M near you because I'm sure they'll sell out quickly! 

Grounded

Wearing: Zara Pants and Blazer | Dana Faith Hand Chain | Gypsy Warrior Sunnies | American Apparel Beanie | Converse   

When I saw the December Zara lookbook I knew I had to try this tartan suit. I'm not one to ever, ever wear a suit or something that matches as much as this does, but I kinda dig it. What do you guys think of suiting up - and more specifically, a full hot pink suit (I think that's what I'll try next). 

On Site Dressing

Wearing: ASOS High Gloss Pants | BarIII Sweater | Zara Heels | All Saints Beanie 

When dressing for a construction site, one must consider the following: Something to stand out, like a reflector or let's say... ridiculously glossy black pants. Oversized knits would be useful to keep warm when working outside and to hide any cuts or bruises from falling in the mud. A hard hat, or in my case a beanie - for "protective" gear. And last but not least, a great pair of shoes for when operating heavy machinery. [Sarcasm at its best and my new friend Jerry] PS- I revamped my ombre a bit at Arrojo Studio the other day (if you go ask for Mary)!

PS: you can still buy pieces from my vintage collection here (I suggest the White Mesh Shorts, Ivory Shearling Jacket, and denim cut-offs).

ATTN: New Yorkers, the Vintage Twin pop up shop is in its LAST DAY - definitely stop by if you haven't been yet! Info here

Sports Luxe

Wearing: Adidas Pants & Sweater | Zara Heels | American Apparel Beanie

Never did I think that those pants I used to refer to as "snap offs" would become somewhat, fashionable. The Adidas soccer track pants are the ultimate in sports luxe and definitely a statement maker when worn with heels. I went on a little shopping trip with a few of the fabulous ladies of Gin Lane Media to the Adidas store and picked up a few great pieces. I'm honestly obsessed with the SLVR collection and highly suggest you guys check it out in person (some great sweatpants and sweaters). Or maybe you can just raid your little brothers closet...

Just Add Tights

Wearing: Zara Dress - Similar | Commando Tights | OASIS Booties | Helmut Lang Jacket | Phillip Lim Bag | All Saints Beanie | Vintage Sunnies (from American Apparel)

I bet we all do the same when it comes to switching from our summer to winter wardrobes - we either send clothing home to the rents, sell it, maybe even store it somewhere besides our tiny NYC closets. Yes, I do most of these myself, but I've recently started saving pieces from my summer wardrobe that I can "just add tights" to. Btw, I was inspired by a current Nifty Thrifty sale for the title of this post. Speaking of, make sure you sign up before next week because there is something coming up that you do NOT want to miss - maybe a collection of vintage clothing curated by me, or something like that.....

In the Army

Wearing: ASOS Overalls | Zara Jacket (in stores) | F21 Necklace (in stores) | Rachel Roy Loafers

Couldn't you picture this being my uniform if I was in the army? The ASOS leather overalls would be perfect for protecting my well-moisturized skin from scrapes and bruises, and the jacket simply... looks right. Ok, so maybe it would have to be the type of army that took on a Black Friday sale, but still. I want to hear about everyone's Black Friday and Cyber Monday finds - so do share!

Btw, these pics are from when it was a bit warmer out, clearly.

THE WKND

Wearing: Zara Skirt & Sweatshirt | Commando Tights | Ash Wedges | 3.1 Phillip Lim Bag

Post Thanksgiving day food coma I'm a little weary of "baring all" - which is why I know I can turn to my commando tights to save the day. I'm telling you guys, I will swear by these tights up and down that they are the best stockings out there. Not only are they the perfect shade of black opaque, but the tummy control top shows no lines and hides all. If you don't believe me, go try them yourself. Hope everyone has a happy digest. 

Giving Thanks

Wearing: Zara Sweater | James Jeans | Juicy Couture Booties | Karen Walker Sunnies 

It's almost that time of year again, where we stuff our face with mash potatoes and gravy, and try to avoid chopping our fingers off when cutting the turkey's tush for grandpa to eat. We go around the table, taking turns saying what we're thankful for, while the smallest cousin ties together all of our parents shoes. We play hide and seek, until someone gets hurt... and fight over the remote controls clicking on and off the football game. If this isn't what your Thanksgiving looks like - then well - it's definitely not as hilarious as mine. On a serious note - I wanted to tell all of you, my followers, that I am so so thankful for you supporting my blog and keeping me going! Have an amazing Thanksgiving guys!
