most valuable layers

Four layers and counting, New York City weather will do that to you. It'll make you work up a sweat commuting to work in your seemingly necessary layers while making you completely rethink your outfit choice once you're in a heated office building. I even layered on the necklaces, one of my old favorites and one of the new courtesy of Hello Berry - they make dainty jewelry for pretty much everyday wear.

camo & plaid

There's a thin line to cross when mixing prints. Wearing checkers and camo together might have been crossing that very line, but this oversized knit in a neutral color broke things up and kept the outfit together, making the checkered pattern more of a detail, rather than a statement piece. And these camo jeans that I've been eyeing forever at Zara are finally mine, shoutout to Jess for the rec - they definitely are an essential.

casual cashmere and sequins

DRESS THE POPULATION sequin dress  |  Subtle Luxury wrap sweater  |  Zara heels

I don't know how Landon does it sometimes, he manages to capture the perfect amount of light in each photo. Each shot has a sort of lack luster color - which is actually a good thing in this shoot - that captures the DRESS THE POPULATION sequin dress in a way that looks like it's a beautiful scaly part of me. Sequins weren't really my thing, but paired with my favorite grey Subtle Luxury sweater - the copper sequins seem so much more subdued, which conjures up crazy thoughts in my head. Sequins everyday, anyone?

50 shades

Gap ombré men's oversized T (similar)  |  Club Monaco skirt  |  Steve Madden sandals  |  Marc by Marc Jacobs satchel  |  Ray Ban aviators

You know that a trend has taken over when it trickles over to menswear. I mean, I found this ombré  shirt at the Gap in the men's section. It was $11 and three sizes too big, but I pulled it over my head and I couldn't bear to take it off. Roll up the sleeves, cuff them, safety-pin them if you must, but don't let the size fool you. Sometimes oversized shirts are just the thing for a hot summer day.

And how appropriate is the title? It had to happen sometime, half my wardrobe is grey. Today, I just happen to be wearing 50 (well...like 2) shades of it.

Last couple by me.

Not the most attractive jumping picture of me, but then again, are there any attractive jumping pictures? Woop - there goes that neon necklace again, which was recently featured on Socialyte.Co among some pretty great company like the Brooklyn Blonde and On the Racks. I threw on a tailored, black blazer for an event at the Culinary Loft in Soho where McDonald's (yes, McDonald's) hosted an exquisite dinner inspired by the new berry flavors in their new summer menu. I was among 25 fashion and lifestyle bloggers - such as Wendy from Nitrolicious - to taste unique flavors in three courses curated by an Iron Chef and I must say, he did not disappoint. The dessert as always, was my favorite, warm, moist chocolate molten cake with raspberry glaze and salted homemade whipped cream. Being the newly 21 year old that I am, I also had a refreshing cocktail of blueberry vodka, raspberry juice and some other good stuff - oh, the good life.

titled entitled

It's still not that warm in New York, so I've been involuntarily wearing sweaters and blazers to get me by. A jacket that I'm sure to be wearing a lot is this tweed blazer that I thrifted on Saturday. It's such a great lady-like piece, makes me feel all fancy and entitled, which are two traits that I'm not comfortable with - so to dress it down, I threw in a T-shirt (with a great open back), some distressed boyfriend-esque jeans and a pair of those rose gold Zara heels that you've all probably seen everywhere. It's got these great rose gold straps and 3 inch heels that make them so damn walkable - all hail Zara, they can seriously do no wrong!

Love ya'll!

LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON

Photos taken by Landon

thrifted gray T  |  Zara Hawaiian skirt  |  black strappy sandals 

It's kind of funny that my new favorite comfortable T advertises a show that I've never watched, but hey. It's the softest T-shirt I own. And tell me these pictures don't scream Hawaii. The colors, the sun, the skirt! This was part one (of ten?) of my birthday present to myself. I kind of splurged on this and you know what? No regrets. No regrets at all.

BIRTHDAY SUIT

Photos by FashionGoggled aka #BBB

H&M floral shirt  |  UO ruffle skirt (similar here)  |  Senso shoes  |  H&M necklace (similar concept here!) 

My birthday suit consisted of a girlier ruffled skirt under a floral silk shirt and my instant tough chic Senso shoes. Paulina gave me this awesome Flintstone-glam necklace and I've been wearing it the past couple days to work, to bed, to school. Yeah, I'm gonna rock Flintstone-glam until it's trendy - pun intended. 

By the way, it's been long overdue, but check out my Wiseling feature - some tips and tricks to intense vintage shopping. Head on over here and tell me what you think!

I'm reaaaaaaal excited to tell ya'll about what's coming up next!

MONOCHROMATIC

Photos by the best, Landon.

Essentially, the two vertical pictures are the same thing, I look exactly the same in both - why I posted them up is beyond me. The awesome team at Sugarlips Apparel sent me this shirt and I've been waiting for the perfect weather to wear it since the back is extremely bare (which I'm obsessed with). It was also a great layering piece for the fall, the thin chiffon makes it easy to wear under sweaters and shirts, but I've never worn it by itself. Check the lace detail on the back, ya'll. Their new collection is up so be sure to check out their site - I'm lusting after a couple things myself. Poor wallet.

It was my birthday on Wednesday, the big 2-1 - so you can imagine the extravaganza that I had. I treated myself to goodies for my birthday and got a lot of awesome presents from friends and family - can't wait to show you guys my birthday suit in my next post! (well...not literally, you know what I mean)

OVEREXPOSED

Photos taken so artfully by Landon M.

H&M tank and sweater  |  vintage Ralph Lauren skirt  |  Nine West sandal heels

I was debating on whether or not to use these high exposure photos, but decided for them - had to show ya'll this skirt! I thrifted this skirt a while ago and have been waiting to wear it this season. It's made of some magically soft woven silk that has got to be the work of a classic, Ralph Lauren. The print was what drew me in, an aztec feel with a sort of Greek influence (eh, my opinion). For those of you that are looking for pretty tissue-thin tanks, H&M might be the place for you. I found this gorgeous tank in an in-between mint and turquoise color for less than $20 - I should've hoarded every color in the store!

Oh spring break, please slow down. You're zooming by. 

(On a brighter note, expect more frequent outfit posts this week!)

I MUSTACHE YOU A QUESTION

Photos by Landon aka Fashion Goggled

H&M sweater and floral pants  |  Zara flats

It was an extremely hectic day yesterday - woke up ridiculously late, blindly threw on this oversized sweater and statement pants (because oversized sweaters are simple and effortless), drove to the city to avoid public transportation hell, spent the entire day packing goodies at work to send out for a few darling bloggers. I barely had time to have coffee (and if you know me, coffee practically flows through my veins). Being that it was my first time driving to the city, the yellow cabs were too aggressive for my suburban driving - needless to say, I will not be doing that again.
