It's gonna be a French Connection summer and I've got three outfits to bring you there. White is my go-to color for the season and it's pretty obvious.

And French Connection is having their mid-season sale - 30% off their site? What are you waiting for?! 

Head over to my latest video and let me know what your favorite look is!

quick snaps

A quick update as New York Fashion Week comes to a close - was snapped by Vanessa Granda for Taste the Style and am kind of in love with the few photos that came out. 

So far I've been seeing a lot of pinks (get on that clutch, guys!) and a ton of '70s vibes. Who cares about waiting for fall to get here? I'll be wearing these things now. 

See you guys!

Ashley's always been and always will be one of my favorite photographers - and I'm beyond lucky to be able to work with her on both a personal and professional level. She makes you feel insanely comfortable in front of the camera and off. It doesn't hurt that she's one of the sweetest people too. 

So we're at the tail-end of fashion week - but don't fret! Working on more videos for y'all when it's not hellishly cold outside.

Do you believe in magic? I do now. Thanks to French Connection and the shopping gods for helping me find these pair of perfect Celine boots in just my size. 

And my first vlog is up! Hope you're inside and warm on this Saturday afternoon. Or out and about and bundled. Whatever works.

introduction

And it's finally here! The first ever YouTube video. I'm sure I'll get used to hearing the sound of my own voice but more importantly, hopefully you guys get used to it too hehe. I mainly wanted to start this channel because I wanted you guys to see that hey - my life isn't as glamorous as you guys think. I'm a normal person with normal friends and normal awkward tendencies. And with video, there's no faking it. What you see is what you get. So enjoy and subscribe - stay tuned for my Istanbul vlog!

Side note: I just want to give a HUGE thanks to everyone that subscribed already. It's been amazing to see so many reactions, I welcome both good and bad. Thank y'all for allllll the continued love!

Every girl needs a pair of high waisted denim shorts in their closet. Never mind if guys don't like 'em (sorry Alvin). They're flattering and go with everything. This pair for example? Stolen from my sister's closet and I wore them 3 days in a row this weekend. #yolo

ladies who brunch on sundays

Photos by Alvin

A week long overdue post but still so relevant on this fine Memorial Day (and the last day of this awesome long weekend). Headed over to the best Sunday brunch with French Connection's finest, Kristi and Delia, and had some incredible food and catchup at The Upstairs at the Kimberly Hotel with some old and new friends. It was the coolest kickoff for spring and of course, I was decked out in this floral jumpsuit that closely resembles lemons (can't be mad at that) with a sheer, embellished long sleeve under and a pretty perfect leather jacket. And then of course, a backpack is necessary for pretty much any occasion.

Hope everyone's enjoying their Memorial Day while I sit in the sun and recover from this weekend's festivities! Yes.

sprung

Spring has officially sprung - evident in the increasing amount of photos of flowers and green foliage on your Instagram feed (guilty as charged) - but I'm not mad at it. Because that means actually being able to wear this FCUK leather number with whatever mini dress I have on hand and beat up Converses. The perfect outfit for another rainy day at the Met.

two way bomber

outfit 1: Eleven Paris reversible bomber  |  American Apparel striped sweater  |  French Connection skirt  |  H&M crossbody  |  Vans shoes  |  Komono watch

outfit 2: Eleven Paris reversible bomber  |  Zara dress  |  Rebecca Minkoff mini Mac  |  Fatal Obsessions heels

One bomber, two ways. It's as simple as pairing prints with solids and solids with prints and styling both outfits with white skirts? I'm predictable and am not mad at it. Hope y'all are enjoying your Sunday!

everyday affirmations

NYLON Mag Alex & Chloe crop top (sweatshirt version)  |  French Connection skirt  |  French Connection army parka  |  Fatal Obsessions heels

There's nothing as affirming as words on a shirt, right? (I mean, this other one from NYLON Mag's NYLON Shop just says it all.) Balanced the humor in this shirt with a feminine frilly number and silk, soft parka with such a boyish charm - both from French, of course.
