Into The Blue

I was probably a tad overdressed for a friday afternoon, but I just couldn't wait to put on my new favorite dress by Leifsdottir. Plus when in Williamsburg, dress like the locals, so I'm sure no one even noticed! Next item on my radar, Inverni Pom pom hat. But $413.00 ?!?! Really?? I sense a DIY project coming up! 

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Winter Wonderland

Snowed in on thanksgiving, and it feels so calm and surreal. As much as I love Manhattan, there's nothing I love more than to escape it for a few days. Well, maybe summer brunch. I possibly love that more. But until the next summer, print dresses are my new obsession, and lucky for me I thrifted a few just last week!

Leather Up

Nope, dont care how hot it is. I love leather, even in the summer! Actually I just couldnt wait to wear my newly thrifted fave. Happy July 4th everyone!!!

Crank it up

I almost never like the matchy-matchy look but today I somehow ended up in a gray (grey?) ensemble. A good solid color of an outfit can create a blank canvas to accentuate other things, like your make up. Its hard to pull off orange lips when you're wearing a colorful outfit, but solid neutral tones can help you avoid looking like a hot mess, and make you look simply hot!

Defy old standards

Yesterday on my drive back to Mass, I took a little thrifting detour and landed on a 50% off savers sale- sweet! It took me a few minutes to realize the staff had been strategically outfitted in cowboy boots, bandannas, and over-sized belt buckles as part of a "boot kicking sale" theme. There's something about losing authenticity when you try too hard, but I gotta give em credit for staying in character!

While the recent return of cowboy fashion has taken the trend from "functional" to "fly," head to toe western wear is probably better suited for outfitting an equine than a fashionista. When it comes to trends, I like to experiment with styles that defy the "rules" and make up my own- like pairing this modern dress with cowboy boots and vintage fur.

Anyone can sport the western look by checking out ModCloth where you can get a western-inspired pair!
