The Pumpkin Benni

Wearing: Cheap Monday Blouse | Vintage Overalls | Modern Vice Benni Boot | Topshop Necklace

They're one of those stop you in your tracks type of boots and I obviously love that. The Natalie & Dylana Suarez x Modern Vice pumpkin Benni boots are the perfect shade of orange, not to mention the  simple perfection of its shape. I've always loved a great blue and orange combo (cc: my high school colors) so of course denim overalls was a great match. Boyfriend jeans work too, and even black tights if you do it right. 

Before the Snow

Wearing: Volcom Sweater | Zara Jeans | Cheap Monday Booties | Valentino Bag 

So I ran up to my friends roof the other day in the freezing cold just to catch some amazing light for a quick outfit post. Ya, bloggers are sometimes a little crazy. How exciting is it that NYC had our first snowfall of the season yesterday!? I really love the snow, but have formed a love-hate relationship with snow in the city. When it sticks, it's beautiful. But usually, snow in NYC just means slushy dirty mess. Whatever. Don't forget to stop by the Reformation store in Soho tonight from 6-9 to show The2Bandits jewelry with me!

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.

New York Fashion Week {day 5}

Le 21ème | Adam Katz Sinding 

 

Wearing: Topshop Dungarees | F21 Hat | Cheap Monday Booties (gifted)

Yesterday was one of my favorite days at the tents. I started with the Nanette Lepore show, followed by two interviews, one with Rocco from Fashion News Live and the other with Maybelline. After a well deserved lunch break I found myself back at Lincoln Center decked in Juicy Couture for their awesome outdoor presentation. But, right before that started I checked out one of my favorite brands - Clover Canyon - featuring the most amazing prints I can't wait to get my hands on. Until next time New York Fashion Week, I'm glad to be taking a break from you, for now.

Check out my video Fashion News Live where I briefly chat about the Nanette Lepore show and why bloggers have become major influencers in the fashion industry. I've had the pleasure of knowing Rocco from FNL for over a year now and I have to say, he's pretty damn good at his job. FNL has the most amazing up-close and personal interviews with people from all ends of the fashion industry. Check out more on  www.FashionNewsLive.com.

Stockholm Shoesday

Hello new friends {speaking to inanimate objects}. Meet two pairs of my favorite new shoes from this week in Stockholm - Cheap Monday Wedge Booties and Zara Ankle Boots. I'm flying home today and it's very bittersweet, but boy am I pumped to sleep in my ridiculously comfy bed tonight. There's nothing like coming home to the yellow cabs, busy streets, angry apartment supers, and my city that never sleeps. I'm coming for ya, NYC.  

Under Construction

 

 

 

Wearing: Nicole Miller Jacket (Coming Soon) | NastyGal Dress | Cheap Monday Booties (for less)

Super excited for tonight because I'm heading to dinner with Nicole Miller herself (along with some of my favorite blogger buds)! I stopped by the NM showroom earlier this week and picked up this really great leather sleeved white denim jacket. Sticking to the black & white theme, I paired the jacket with my new open back dress from Nasty Gal and even newer Cheap Monday booties. How amazing are these shoes - they kind of remind me of something Acne would make - then again, maybe it's because they're both Swedish. DUH. If you like these booties and your a size 9, buy these!

Faded

 

Wearing: NastyGal Dress | BDG Denim Shirt - Similar 

This is going to be one hell of a week, and I mean a really busy week. I've been getting ready for my exciting trip to Stockholm, Sweden starting this Friday and you can tell by the smile on my face 24-7 that I'm pretty eager to go. Besides the obvious, I can't wait to get my hands on some Swedish fashion. Acne, Whyfred, Cheap Monday, Weekdays, H&M and more will all be at my disposal (sorry in advance, credit cards).

Crosby Street

Wearing: Maje Romper, Cheap Monday Shoes | Botkier Bag (Justin's of Munrowe) | Vintage Belt

Sometimes when I'm wearing a onesie/romper/jumper/bib/body/bodysuit/sailorsuit/babygro (you get the picture), I feel like it's riding up my tush - but, that is not the case here. The other day I went to sell a lot of clothing at Buffalo Exchange (and then donated the rest). After receiving a rather large credit I shopped around and found this awesome Maje romper for only $40.00! Designer clothing at a thrifty price - now that's my kind of shop. 

Pattern Play

Wearing: Topshop Tank | ASOS Shorts | Cheap Monday Booties 

I recently got these ASOS printed shorts in the mail and couldn't wait to wear them. They're perfect for summer because of their light-weight and bright pattern. ASOS has been killing it lately with their amazingly curated inventory, if only they would open a store here like Topshop did. I think we'd all go broke though... I know I would.
