What I'm Wearing | Prep School

MOM'S coat, H&M men's varsity jacket, MOM'S button up, JOE FRESH trousers, BCBG wedges, GLINT&GLEAM satchel thanks to SHOPLATELY I am so sorry about the outfit delays! If you've been reading my blog for the past month, you'll know that I've devotedly kept up with fashion week like a good blogger (you can see my ongoing coverage HERE)...except for the fact that I haven't posted any outfits of mine! A few of my inexcusable excuses? The weather ( although layering should make outfits more interesting, right?), because I am still a Californian and will always have difficulty combating the cold. Another reason is just no time (also inexcusable...I mean I've been keeping up with fashion week). So please excuse my indecencies and enjoy this post and these fabulous $9 pants! :) Slowly but surely, I am learning how to layer like a New Yorker. Half of my closet is composed of outerwear pieces, be it blazers, jackets, or coats. Ironically, I am always drawn to purchasing those pieces whenever I shop in store or online browse. Guilty as charged; I can't overlook a great outerwear piece. I've probably posted this coat before, but it's really one of my favorite pieces in my closet. Boxy and curvy all at the same time, it's like a pared down version of a CDG runway piece. I wear the heck out of it and it keeps me warm! Win-win. Also, this mocha satchel is a great new piece that serves all my school and sartorial needs! (now to find a black one of comparable worth...) keep posted for more runway coverage of Milan and the upcoming Paris shows! xx  INSTAGRAM | BLOGLOVIN' | FACEBOOK

Last Post of the Year!

JOE FRESH top / THRIFTED skirt / BCBG wedges / TOPSHOP "Sartorial"

Woah, today is the LAST day of 2012, and what an absolutely incredible year it has been.

Just five months ago I graduated high school, and now my second semester of college at the Fashion Institute of Technology is around the corner. In this year's time, I have been able to learn, experience, and simply do many things that I won't be able to even list. The people I've met and befriended at home and in New York have truly changed and impacted my life for the better. 

Although I will admit that I did not keep up with blogging as much as I thought I would be able to over the past few months, I hope that I will be inspired to continue blogging and sharing my style with all of you lovely readers! 

Thank you all for reading, supporting, and having an interest in my blog; it really means a lot to me. 

Cheers to the new year, and see you soon!

What I'm Wearing | Skater Girl

dress thanks to SUGARLIPS | H&M necklace | BCBG wedges photos by Heather!
Yay! I finally got around to blogging this beauty from Sugarlips!
It's really cut like how an ice skater's costume would be--a very fitted bodice but with a gorgeous flippy skirt. My favorite feature of this navy dress? The periwinkle lace cutout details; they make for an extra "oomph" factor to this frock.  
I dressed it up with a gem necklace from H&M that I haven't touched in a while, Topshop rouge in "Sartorial," and some patent ankle strap wedges.
It was chilly taking these photos, but I hope you like them!

What I'm Wearing | Ice Blue

 Dress thanks to BEGINNING BOUTIQUE // sunglasses from SHOP VAGABOND YOUTH borrowed from Heather // Glint & Gleam bracelets thanks to SHOPLATELY // BCBG wedges

Pictures by Heather! I just received this adorable frock in the mail, and it made my day! It gives off a very playful, Alice-in-Wonderland feel, with its pastel hue, flounce skirt, and naif-chic silhouette.  I paired it with simple silver accessories from ShopLately (love both to death, silver jewelry makes the world go round) and cateye shades on top, black patent wedges on bottom. Also, my nails are the adorable Play hearts from Commes des Garcons, which I handpainted! My roommate said I look like a Tiffany's box, which I can see (just put a white belt on, haha -  great Halloween costume idea)! Please excuse my horrible posting, midterm season has arrived and I've been unable blog. Also, fashion week was insane and I wish I could cover everything I love but I really don't have the time!  wish me luck on my exams! xx INSTAGRAM | BLOGLOVIN' | FB FAN | LOOKBOOK
