retro denim shorts



I admit it I am highly obsessed with these retro high waisted shorts from American Apparel. I get the same kinda vibe I get with these shorts I scored thrifting. I really didn't want to shell out the money for these shorts because they are hella expensive for shorts. But I made the mistake of trying them on and they fit perfectly. You know when you find that perfect fit, the cost of something suddenly doesn't seem so bad. They are my "investment" shorts! I've definitely worn them a good 5-10 times since I bought them less than 2 weeks ago.

FLIP OUT

i almost forgot I had these amazing heels from Zara until I cleaned out my closet! Speaking of which I'm selling a few shoes at my shop so check it out! Anywho these shoes are reminiscent of the Prada sandals that where everywhere last year. These heels have got to be one of the most comfy pair I have. By the way, Zara is having THE BEST SALE right now and I just scored a bucket load of Fashion Steele's!

taxi cab confessions

anyone else used to watch that late night show Taxi Cab Confessions? It was really good! I wonder what ever happened to it? New York City is synonymous with the yellow cab so I had to do a post with one. I loved cabbing it when I'm wearing heels but for the most post im a subway kinda gal. I find that the train gets you anywhere in Manhattan in 20 minutes or less if you really know the subway lines. I swear I can get from Washington Heights to Washington Square Park in 26 minutes flat.

sometimes I like a good sturdy sneaker...especially when im running around town doing errands. here is something they don't tell you about living in New York.

if your building isn't new and doesn't have more than six floors there is NOT an elevator. I live on the 5th floor and always (on purpose) omit to guest visiting for the first time that there is no elevator until they buzz my buzzer. thus I carry my loads of laundry when washing as well as my tons of bags of groceries up 5 flights on a regular basis and pretty much have it down to a science.

 

Oh New York, New York with your rat infested subway stations, non central air conditioned apartment buildings and rising prices of metro cards...how I love thee.

better late than never

Independence Day has come and gone. It was brutally hot. I went for this red, white and denim blue look. The overalls I picked up from Urban Outfitters, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite stores. See them worn differently HERE. It's easy breezy but its pretty expensive...even more so than Zara on occasion. I actually got a few new items from Urban Outfitters today. Even though i'm on a spending freeze until I go to Paris I had to have this one special t-shirt!

GET THE LOOK

 

borrowed my babes sunnies for this look. the mirrored sunglasses really added that extra touch of blue I was looking for for this outfit. Anywho I am so happy the weather is finally cooling down a little in New York City. I am actually really ready for Fall! Before I know it it will be time for Fashion Week again! My favorite holiday next to Thanksgiving. Hope you all like the look and for those who follow me on Instagram you saw this last week!
