distressed

these are definitely the most distressed jeans that i have and this is equally the most distressed blouse as well. i didn't do that on purpose...it just worked out. the thing I love about these boyfriend jeans is the more I wear them the more distressed they become. the rips began to rip more and they look even better! this top is one of my favorites that i don't wear too often because its so delicate. ohhh did you check out my new clear clutch! im sooooo in love with it.

picked up the top and sunnies from Loehmanns, one of my favorite department stores. I love what they've done with their Chelsea location. They gave it a refreshing update. I was just there recently and scored another great fashion steele! I'll be posting that little gem soon. Fashion Week starts on Thursday and I've stocked up on Rose Lemonades, almonds and craisins because I know I wont eat correctly for the rest of the week. I think Wednesday I will cook two meals and make left overs so I don't suffer during New York Fashion Week. Sometimes I get sick from lack of food and sleep. This year I vow to take better care of myself.

what men want you to wear

I read somewhere that if a guy had to see you in clothes (they prefer you naked) that they'd just want to see you in jeans and a plain tee-shirt. Well...its simple enough lol. I wore this outfit last week but seriously its getting entirely too hot for jeans, even comfy boyfriend jeans! At the moment its a scorching 90 something and I prefer to be in my apartment...the way men really prefer women. lol. That's one thing I truly miss about Southern living...the central air conditioning. Lord knows this window unit is just about useless right now. Ahh to be a New Yorker. It definitely has its ups...and its downs.

I do love these jeans that I scorned at ASOS. They have a great selection of boyfriend jeans in all washes and cuts. I like the army print design on the pockets of these jeans though. That's really what caught my eye. Anywho, looks like the pool in my neighborhood was finally filled so you know what that means....plenty of bathing suit shopping in the next few weeks. I still have this great Marc Jacobs swimsuit from my trip to Barcelona last year...but im itching for a new one like this one or this one.

All Packed

White Top: Zara | Shorts: WildFox | Denim Jacket: H&M | Black Top: Urban Outfitters

Sunnies: Ray Ban | Shoes: Alexander Wang Aminata | Necklace: Melinda Maria | Bracelet: BCBG

I'm currently en route to North Carolina! Home sweet home. Here's a what I packed. I tried to bring a minimum of pieces that I can mix and match. I'm only going to be home for a few days but I look forward to the hot (yes HOT) weather, sweet tea, family visits and all the southern food my aunt can cook. YAY Me! Loving these gold lame shorts I scored at Loehmann's for less than $20.

 Beaded Skirt: Gryphon | Sweater: Top Shop | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Shoes: L.A.M.B. Oxley 

Black Pencil Skirt: Top Shop | Sunnies: Vintage Caribe

This skirt was a score at Loehmanns that I have been loving! I recently wore it to see The Great Gatsby since it has that kinda feel to me. A great sweater is great for those cool nights when you don't want to wear a jacket or to throw over a dress (like the one below).

Dress: Alice & Olivia | Flats: Urban Outfitters | Caged Sandals: Zara | Boyfriend Jeans: H&M

Necklace: Tuleste

This is one of my favorites dresses because its so easy. It doesn't wrinkle and its super comfortable. A great statement necklace can spice up any of the looks too.

 

Thanks everyone so so so much for all the birthday wishes! I had a wonderful birthday and its being celebrated all weekend too! Check out some of my birthday buys on my instagram here and here.

 

I'll definitely keep you posted about my southern adventure on my instagram.

          

 



Florals are always in style

really...they are! this is a floral jacket I picked up at Loehmanns last year. Its still one of my favorites and I even use it as a formal business blazer for a little something extra. its a great way to dress up an otherwise boring outfit. in this case boyfriend jeans and a tee.

Top: American Apparel | Blazer: A. Jovine via Loehmanns | Jeans: H&M | Shoes: Alexander Wang Aminata
