What I'm Wearing | Boxy Black & White

White shirt from random store on 7th ave, ERIN BARR skirt, STUART WEITZMAN heels, LILY WANG sunglasses thanks to SHOPLATELY 

If you've kept up with my blog for however long I've had it, you probably noticed that I am back home in the golden state! The weather is incredibly beautiful and it's great to meet everyone I've missed, but nothing beats NYC (although they are experiencing some nasty humidity right now, yikes!). 

Anyways, a week before I left for home I was invited to Urban Conscience's Haute For Education fundraiser event, a fashion auction where 100% of proceeds went to Change for Kids. I came into contact with this amazing organization through EM Reservoir designer Erin Murphy, whom I met and worked with through the Capsule trade show this spring. It was a great way to spend the weeknight, browsing the lovely merchandise up for bids (I won 4 things, including the stunning Erin Barr skirt above!) and eating mini cupcakes. 

I later ended up running into some friends and we went around the gallery district for a while before the openings ended. 

I went for a clean cut black & white look with this men's shirt I got for $5 at a cheesy store on 7th ave and paired it with a stunning pencil skirt with the coolest gunmetal hardware, finishing it off with the most perfect speckled sunglasses thanks to ShopLately! 

Do you like the look with or without the moto vest?

What I'm Wearing | All Black Everything

Sometimes, head-to-toe black looks are absolutely necessary. When I do lean towards a monochrome outfit for the day (no matter the weather, I'll wear black in 80 degree weather if I think it's a good look), I usually punctuate it with silver hardware. My new slinky snake necklace that reminds me of a bolo tie and this cool connected ring have been stuck on me for the past few days, I love them so much (thanks ShopLately)!

A few weeks ago, I was able to meet up with the amazingly talented and gorgeous Anni, who flew in from Estonia to do some modeling work in the city. We had a late lunch and talked about school and life and fashion and then she showed me her beautifully handcrafted earcuffs and other jewelry pieces. To me, Anni was the originator of the earcuff trend that has exploded in the last few years, as she had been making them for quite some time (and she's currently only 17!). I was lucky enough to receive one from her and I love love love it!

What I'm Wearing | Coral & Cobalt

ZARA blazer, F21 blouse, ASOS denim, H&M boots, Lily Wang ring thanks to SHOPLATELY
photos by Carina The contrast of the hot red orange/coral (whatever you'd like to call it) with the cobalt blue is one of my favorite color combinations ever. In fact, you've probably already seen an outfit of mine in a similar palette.  I kept the rest of the outfit simple by using some neutral accessories and minimal jewelry. How cool is my new bolt ring from ShopLately? I'm definitely not a gold jewelry person, but I've been wearing it nonstop for the past week! xx  INSTAGRAM | BLOGLOVIN' | FACEBOOK
