spring in your step

February 27, 2018 by · Leave a Comment

cynthia rowley, while always a print master, has recently broadened her aesthetic to a more modern, young look. i’ve been eyeing several dresses from her latest collection– everything from ruffled minis to lace sheaths, brocade prints, knits, and even a few super glam printed gowns. for any occasion on your spring social calendar, she likely has the thing to wear. there’s nothing like a new dress (and fun invitation) to put a little spring in your step.

  • for your birthday (or a bachelorette!)…

girl at the rock show

TGIF chicpeas! i dont know about you, but it’s taken me a lot of angry teen rock music to get through this week, especially Blink 182’s take off your pants and jacket album, which has been on heavy rotation (do it- you’ll feel better).

band tees have made a big comeback in street style of late, as you can see from the bloggerinas below. as a result, i’ve been inspired to edge up my typically conservative style and make it a little more ‘rock and roll’ by incorporating a faded tee, leather and some studs. try some for yourself, get angsty, and and prepare to party all weekend long…

1– leather jacket 2–cat eye shades 3– choker 4– cherry tee (another great option)

5– studded backpack  6– military jacket 7– sleek sneaks 8– crystal shades 9– rainbow hoops

10– beats headphones  11– leather pants 12–vegan leather skirt 13– moto boots

14– waistless denim  15– embellished crossbody 16– faded logo tee 17– shirred tank

love on top

February 20, 2018 by · Leave a Comment

valentine’s day may have been last week, but this weekend led to two new heart-themed discoveries. first up, new-to-me artist two friends, and their song out of love, which i’ve already forced my friends to listen to a few too many times (does anyone else get like that when they discover a new jam?!) second, this frilly heart splattered zimmermann frock. the bow shoulders and black/white color palette are such an early 90’s throwback, I can picture julia roberts’ character in pretty woman rocking it. for an upcoming spring fête, i plan to doll it up very extraaa with a pair of strappy heels, red lipstick, and some vintage YSL earrings (or these). can you say luuuurve! <3

back to black

February 14, 2018 by · 1 Comment

the other day, while walking home from a haircut, i got caught in a torrential downpour on 7th avenue sans umbrella. as fate would have it, i **very coincidentally** was passing barney’s and went in to kill time in the makeup department until the rain stopped… whoops.

an hour and a half later, i was best friends with a sweet lady named Cherry (sidenote- we text now), and had tried on everything from basic work pants (these and these but ultimately this pair won, if anyone is in the market), to dresses for upcoming spring weddings (this was gorgggg but needs someone taller), to eventually landing on this funky isabel marant sweater. it’s baggy sleeves, fuzzy open-weave and oversized grommets make it just like the store it was in, completely downtown cool.

while i’m going to hold off until it hopefully an end of winter sale to try to snag it, it got me back to my favorite part of the color wheel- black. while black can get a bad rap for being boring, it’s the staple of any good wardrobe for a reason. my other current noir picks? this tiered blouse, a pair of printed joggers, moto style leggings, and work-friendly loafers. and for those of you looking for other slouchy weekend sweaters, try a cropped turtleneck, a fringed style, some stripes and a frayed millennial pink.

at least the rain had stopped by the time i was done! Xx
