white out

 photo IMG_4442683x1024_zps7db94d9c.jpg
even though I don't get the chance to wear it often this white jumpsuit from Zara is one of the favorite pieces in my wardrobe. (speaking of which Zara is having a bomb sale!) Last week when the heat wave nearly killed us all it was a saving grace of an outfit for an event I attended. I don't wear it often because I'm the type of girl who can't keep something white...white! It's nearly impossible for me not to spill something when I wear white lol.

i've been super super busy lately so excuse my lack of posts. I've been working like crazy to save up for Paris in September. I can honestly say i've never worked so hard for anything...well maybe grad school but you get what i'm saying. I'm trying to get a photographer while im there so I can at least be in a few photos. if you all have any recommendations please email me! Also if you are based in Paris let me know if you wanna hang out. I'm always down to meet new people. Right now im packing because tomorrow evening im going to Atlantic City with some of my friends. I've never been so it should be fun! I'll try to get a post or two to you when I'm there with some beach attire.  Make sure to keep up with my instagram for the goods.

better late than never

 photo IMG_4627683x1024_zpsd7be1a12.jpg
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!

the Gatsby look

 photo IMG_0546683x1024_zps4b49b5af.jpg
ok so its not really a Gatsby look but i did wear this skirt to see The Great Gatsby because it has that kind of feel to me. I picked this Gryphon skirt up from Loehmanns on sale! I love it to pieces too. the neutral color makes it easy to wear with anything but my favorite to pair it with is denim or a light knit sweater. Oh make sure to check out my post of the Gatsby Costume Exhibit I checked out a few weeks ago at the Prada Soho store!

I love the heaviness to this sequin skirt too. Makes me feel a little more comfortable that when the wind blows...this bad boy will stay put! I also had the idea of pairing this skirt with denim after seeing the spread in ELLE magazine with Kerry Washington. She was featured rocking all blinged out pieces with denim. LOVED IT! LOVE HER! What am I gonna do till Fall when Scandal returns? *wall slides*
