crown and glory

with the cooler weather comes...bad hair days.

days when your hair just wont even think about cooperating and days when its so windy there is no possible style that can withstand the sheer force of air. thus...i reintroduce my trusty bowler hat.

he's been good to me.

Jacket: BCBGeneration for SALE | Top: Forever 21 | Bag: Urban Expressions

Shoes: Gianvito Rossi | Boyfriend Jeans: H&M

 GET THE LOOK

i love that this look is dressed up with the jacket and the shoes but other than that is comfortable and laid back. something about a blazer with boyfriend jeans just screams model to me but it works for just about everyone. make sure to check out Shop Fashion Steele NYC! this blazer is for sale!

 

what are your bad hair day solutions?
ps...i am |----| this close to chopping all my hair off!

show stopping shoes

my gianvito rossi fury sandals were absolute showstoppers at NYFW! im so thankful for the amazing sale at Century 21 when i got them. people are always asking how i find such great deals and its because i love a good deal and the hunt of finding a bargain. you have to really be able to sift through things and have the patience for it. especially when thrift and vintage shopping. i also do comparison shopping and take advantage of membership cards like those at Loehmanns, my favorite store for designer deals. H&M also emails 20% off coupons every now and again. if you want a good deal...be an INSIDER!

Top & Sunglasses: via Loehmanns | Skirt: American Apparel | Bracelet: H&M

Shoes: Gianvito Rossi via Century 21

 GET THE LOOK

these are indeed my favorite pair of sunglasses for Fall. i love the rich bold color.

it just brings everything together and makes it pop! i will also be wearing these shoes for as long as i possibly can before there is snow on the ground. i am actually welcoming the cooler weather. summer was kinda brutal. so back to finding great deals....my favorite department stores for designer duds are Loehmanns, Century 21 and Nordstroms rack. They are my BIG 3 boyfriends when i need a certain something special or just want to treat myself. i never and i mean never pay full price for designer pieces. why should i when awesome places like Loehmanns practically give the stuff away!

happy hour

so last but not least is the after work get together with the What to Wear Series. You can backtrack and see what to wear for a night out, what to wear on a date night,

and what to wear for a day date.

there are sooo many happy hours in NYC. the perfect place to meet up with your girls for an afterwork drink or with your beau or to meet someone new..who has a job!

so of course the after work get togethers are a little more put together but with a change from your daily flats into some stunning furry pumps...and you've got an outfit!

Top: Forever 21 | Skirt: Zara | Shoes: Gianvito Rossi | Bag: c/o Rebecca Minkoff Romeo

Necklace: Light Years

SHOP THE LOOK

i got this skirt during the awesome sale that was going on at Zara. i love the shape and the print of it. its very tribal chic! i paired it with one of my favorite forever 21 button ups that i wear religiously. see it worn diffrently here. the furry shoe really sets off the outfit along with one of my favorite

"hold my life inside it" bags from Rebecca Minkoff.

what i love most about this outfit is the mixture of textures and patterns with the bag the shoes and the skirt.

this is definitely a good look for that awesome happy hour just waiting for you to attend!

Gianvito Rossi

ok ladies and gents. bear with me. this is the story of the Gianvito Rossi's.

so i went to Brooklyn for a business meeting at the Brooklyn Moon Cafe a few weeks ago.

the crab cakes are delish by the way but i digress. on the way back even though I was a little tired i decided to get off at Chambers Street and check out the downtown Century 21.

i was there approximately 1 hour before closing time.

i made a b-line for my favorite area...luxury shoes downstairs and to much delight discovered they were having an awesometastic freaking unbelievable sale.

it took about 5 minutes before I came across these

gianvito rossi for altuzarra furry pumps.

i definitely peed my pants a little but thats ok.

i slipped off my Toms...and slipped into this green patent leather beauty.

 Shoes: Gianvito Rossi

it was complete and utter love. i have always always always wanted a furry shoe since i missed out on these Sergio Rossi's at DSW. they are just sooooooo perfection.

and guess what.......

they were only $120....yes... I saved about $500 thanks to the sale.

i am so happy right now because with the purchase of these shoes my outfits for

 New York Fashion Week are complete.

yes....i have my outfits together already. dont.judge.me.
