Almost Here

Wearing: Vince Leather Pants | H&M Sweater (in stores now) | ACNE Boots | ASOS Rings

This is possibly the worst timing ever, I might have strep throat and it's 4 days before fashion week starts! I don't really have much to say because I've been trying to get better all weekend, drinking all kinds of tea and at least 5 cups a day. Any quick home remedies for a sore throat guys? Ugh!

Cole Haan Style Corner: Week 1

Wearing: Cole Haan Johanna Boot | Vintage Overalls

As a New York native, and now a New York City dweller I’m pretty sure I’ve got the necessary street style to survive in this city, down pat. So, when Cole Haan approached me about a collaboration to show why their Fall boots are the perfect choice for a city girl like me… there was no hesitation. Hence the first of three boots, from day to night. I’m obsessed with the Johanna Wedge Boots and I bet you didn’t realize they are waterproof too! Or, maybe me jumping in the puddles fearlessly kind of gave that one away. There’s nothing more survival city savvy than a cute boot that can bear the shoe-destroying weather.

 

Wearing: Cole Haan Johanna Boot | Necessary Clothing Jeans I Cole Haan Shearling Jacket 

Taking these boots into the night – or just to a less casual fiesta, I paired high wasted acid-wash jeans with a crop top and Cole Haan’s shearling jacket. It’s Penny Lane meets, well, me. Even though these boots seem super casual, when this jacket came off I could have been standing in the middle of Le Bain dancing my bubble butt off.

Check Mate

 

Wearing: MFJewels DIY Plaid Shirt | Tsemaye Binitie Leather Pants | Topshop Boots

When feeling lazy, all I want to do is throw on an oversized top and some comfy sweats, but this NYC people. Laziness is no excuse. So this is a version of laziness I put together - plaid top, leather pants, flat ankle boots, beanie. I really love how this shirt was DIY'd and it's so simple too. Just dip an oversized flannel into bleach and voilà.

Deep in Fall

Wearing: Necessary Clothing Jeans, Jacket | Sam Edelman Perry Boots 

I'm deep in thought Fall these days and loving everything boots leather, and layers. Recently, Sam Edelman and I teamed up to show fans of the brand how to style their latest Fall collection. This is one of the outfits I chose out of the three going up on their blog later this month. I'm also really loving these oxblood colored paisley jeans that I found for a super affordable price at Necessary Clothing, along with this leather-look jacket. Don't think twice about wearing faux leather or fur guys.. if you can rock it in a designer way, it'll look expensive. From one budget to the next, a deal is always a success. 

Studdly Me

Wearing: Zara Blazer(sold out) - Similar | All Saints Tee | Topshop Boots | BikBok Jeans - Similar 

Sadly, I forgot about these blazer that was buried in my closet (because I only wore it in Stockholm this year) and now it's sold out. Sorry guys - wish I blogged about it earlier so you all could own it! Either way, Zara has been killing it lately with their latest collections and just keep getting bigger and better. They even just came out with Zara HOME! For reals, if you haven't been to your nearest Zara lately, it's time for a shopping excursion.

Rebel Without a Cause

 

Wearing: James Dean Vintage Jacket - Similar | Equipment Shirt | JBrand Cargo Pants

Channeling the rebel without a cause in my vintage denim bomber, 50's heart-throb James Dean. Recently, I've been seeing bomber jackets show up all over the fashion boards (but in a new and exciting way). Prints galore, two-tone, and multi fabric bomber jackets are a great buy for the changing seasons. Bring it on, Fall. Shop my favorite bomber jackets below, bombs away...

THESE BOOTS

These Arson Flame Western Boots were made for walking, running, dancing, twirling, skipping, and just about everything that involves being on your feet. And guess what? I got the LAST pair. It was love at first site when I first came across these Topshop ankle boots online, and then a few days later went to purchase them and they were already sold out! Oh how I longed for the perfect boots that would complete my LBB collection (that's little black bootie). Weeks later, a casual run-in with the 3rd floor of Topshop lead me to the LAST pair which just so happened to be my size! I'm one lucky chic.

If you have to have these -which I definitely did- they're still available in red and navy blue (which is still totally awesome and well worth it). Here and here. 

Looking At You

Wearing: Zara Top - similar | One Teaspoon Shorts | Vintage Boots | Topshop Arm Piece  

I'm looking at you - from behind. Not in a scary way, but in a "how rad is my skull cutout top from Zara way" of course. I brought back what happens to be one of my favorite muscle tanks after realizing this post from way back when, was one of my most viewed posts ever! Clearly you guys have a thing for shirts that stare you down when you're tailgating my tush, weirdos. 

Shady Snakes

 

Wearing: Topshop Tank | Pixie Market Shorts | Vintage Guess Boots | Vintage Sunnies | Alexander McQueen Bangle | Casio Watch

I feel like a badass (fashionable) soldier today in this outfit and definitely acted like one too. My version of a soldier today was hunting through a sea of vintage and claiming the best pieces over other reckless shoppers at Beacon's Closet. I'm working on a really cool video/outfit post for you guys from my adventures today at my favorite vintage store. Stay tuned!

Prints from Brasil

 

Wearing: RACHEL Rachel Roy Tunic | Vintage Guess Boots (Daha Vintage) | Urban Outfitter Sunnies and Necklace

I'm loving this RACHEL Rachel Roy Top  that's part of her RRR x Seu Jorge capsule collection. The entire collection features pieces inspired by Brasil and honestly just makes me want to take a really long vacation. If you know my blog - you know that there is also something vintage in my outfit, so obviously I paired this modern tunic with some vintage lace-up boots.

LES

 

Wearing: Vintage Overalls - Similar | Zara Top | Vintage Guess Boots (Daha Vintage) 

Discovered...yet another amazing vintage store on the Lower East Side called Daha Vintage (175 Orchard st). Thanks to my best friend who moved down there this month, I now have so many more boutiques to throw my money at. But really, these vintage Guess boots were a great find if you ask me. So, excuse me in advance if I wear them too much for the next few weeks!

Just wanted to say a quick note to all my readers - I look at all your comments everyday and truly appreciate all the love and support you guys have given me. You definitely keep me going and reassure me that I'm doing something right here! So, don't think it goes unnoticed :)
