ACNE Free

Wearing: Topshop Sweater | BLK DNM Jeans | ACNE Free Boots | Urban Outfitters Beanie | Shop Lumo Rings

What did you think - I was doing a post on how I literally became acne free from a revolutionary new product? Fortunately for me, I've never had an issue with that other kind of acne. In my world - ACNE - is that put on a pedestal and on every wish list brand most girls save up for (including me). The result, my new perfect everyday booties I've been lusting over ever since I went to Stockholm in August. 

Village Style

When I came across this sweatshirt at Village Style in the East Village, I immediately pictured Balenciaga and Topshop having a baby... for $15. And then I noticed that ASOS obviously already created something EXACTLY like it (here). The era of the fashionably acceptable sweatshirt has begun, and we're all about it. Standard crew necks that used to appear to me as 'bum-like', and printed sweatshirts with all sorts of weird graphics have been given a new reputation thanks to designers like Markus Lupfer and Phillip Lim. 

Never Hide

So, I've never been one to sport anything high-waisted except for a pair of trashed denim shorts. What's the point? They make my tush look large, my belly button gets pinched, and my confidence level goes from "yea I'd blog this" to "don't want to get out of bed in this" (usually). Well, this has all changed with a few great finds and just the RIGHT pair. Recently, I found these amazing American Apparel high waisted jeans that squeeze you in, in all the right places...perfection. Another pair I've been swooning over thanks to my friend Ali are these J Brand jeggins. As long as the material is thick enough and made by someone who gets the FOLA (fear of large ass) - everything will be a-ok.

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.

Ah I'm feeling really sick today, must be seasonal colds.. but either way it's too much to write more on this post or take more pics for the next few days. Hopefully I'll have new outfits for you guys when I'm feeling better soon! How great are these Rachel Roy shoes, I'm actually obsessed to the point where I let them give me blisters on the first wear (and then just wore them again and again). They're perfect for Fall!

Hailing Hands

Here they are guys, the heels behind the story (this story). How lucky was I to find these babies in a random thrift store at a great price?! And how about this weather! It's still pretty warm, but cooling down a lot, enough to wear a graphic sweatshirt with some trash denim jeans. I love you Fall.

New York Fashion Week {day 4}

Wearing: Paige Denim Jeans (gifted) | Equipment Blouse | Zara Heels

In the final stretch of New York Fashion Week SS13, we travel to the cobble-stone Meatpacking District where style is at an all time high. The anyone's, who's anyone strut their best Tommy Ton ready ensembles just waiting to be spotted by the street style photographers on every corner of Milk Studios. Trust me, this is place to be in NYC for people watching {not Times Square, you tourist}. Here are some of my favs from the man of the hour, and my photography idol... Tommy Ton.

It's about time this weather let up just a bit and gave us an excuse to throw on a pair of jeans and a beanie, of course. I've had a non-stop fashion week full of meet-ups and dinners, events and drinks. So many friends came to town from all over the world: Sweden, London, Cali, even Australia... It's been amazing hanging with every single one of them. 

So, when I got back from Stockholm I vaguely remember telling you guys that I reached into my blog's roots and started photographing street style again! Yes, it's happening. I have officially started a new street style blog that will become part of We Wore What as well. Official launch will be in a week or so!

Later this night, I attended a STYLE 360 fashion show for Just Dance 4, with clothing by Tumbler and Tipsy. Sitting front row across from Kylie and Kris Jenner was pretty awesome and we got to see Kendell walk in the show too! Check out some of the pics I took below:
