note to self

For an easy weekend outfit, I'm all about this Red 23 perforated top and a denim pencil (newly obsessed) with minimal accessories - this pair of Shoemint dorsay flats and a Rue Gembon pearl choker that I'm really getting into. Yeah, chokers are back with a vengeance.

And I feel like if I write this here, I'll get it done. Note to self: get my Mac fixed as soon as possible.

easy does it

Recent acquisitions to incorporate easily into my wardrobe include a soft, cozy grey cashmere sweater from H&M (similar) - a grey piece that I surprisingly don't have in my closet - and a few dainty gold necklaces that I've literally had around my neck ever since I got them. I've just been piling them on! The shark tooth necklace, I'm just obsessed with. I keep looking around for more. And whether or not you believe in horoscopes and all that entails, this Rebecca Minkoff necklace is just too chic to leave out. And the Rue Gembon Daya necklace is a no-brainer, no matter what your style is. 

And with that, I'll be giving away the Rue Gembon necklace soon, it's a simple yet sophisticated necklace that I know will match anyone's style, so stay tuned!

I heard that there's gonna be another crazy snow chill over here in New York over the weekend, so here's an outfit post before I get buried under it. I'd forgotten how effortless it is to just throw on a white button down and an oversized sweater - the cashmere just takes it to the next level of texture. Black and white is just always the best default color combination (other than my favorite grey on grey on grey). 

Happy Wednesday y'all!

It's another Lulu's look with this cropped marled grey sweater that's available online right now. You already know my insane obsession with grey, it's a lot more casual than black or white. I wish I could find more occasions to wear this sequin skirt, it's just too beautiful to be kept in the dark corners of my room.

Also, friendly reminder that the #LulusSweaterWeather giveaway is still going on until next Friday - and the rules? Psh, it's real easy. If you're already following me on Instagram - all you have to do is follow Lulu's on Instagram. Plus, an extra point for Gryffindor following Lulu's on Google+!

Oh, and did I forgot to mention again what you'll be winning? It'll be - not just any sweater - but your favorite sweater from Lulu's! And hey, it could totally be the sweater that I'm wearing now, but the beauty of it is...it's your choice!

I don't normally post more than a few photos, but this has gotta be one of my favorite shoots to date so it was too hard to choose just a few, you guys know how much I love a brick wall (mark my words, my future apartment will have some sort of exposed brick!).

I had the chance to visit French Connection's flagship store down on West Broadway last week on that gloriously warm Friday and this jacket was one of the first things that caught my eye in the store. The really subtle plaid and houndstooth fusion is what really hooked me. Plus, it's such a unique length that I haven't tried yet. I wore the jumpsuit underneath, which was highly recommended by pretty much everyone in the store (thanks Kristi!) - it was definitely too cold to show off how incredible it fits but will definitely be wearing this over and over and over again. 

Happy Thanksgiving y'all! Enjoy food and family!

introduction | rue gembon

I'm all for understated beauty, but sometimes you've just gotta make a statement. Jewelry is always a great accent to a simple T and jeans. Rue Gembon is the undeniable marriage of luxury, edge and sophistication. Even their Instagram is a constant source of inspiration and serious chic vibes. I've been wearing their Alea ring nonstop and I see no reason to ever take it off.
