Mint dreams

Mint will always be a favorite color of mine. Especially in mini-dress form. Currently loving this one from Chicwish. Can't get enough of it!

Anyway, hope you all are having a beautiful day! Warmest one in NYC yet.

90's Vibes

28 May 2013


I may or may not have worn a version of this outfit in the 90's when I was in elementary school. Now that I am a 24-year-old that should probably be an alarming statement, but I couldn't resist these overalls from Topshop! It was between this pair or an overalls dress, but I had to go with the old school, classic blue jean version. Going with the whole nineties vibe I just had to pair them with this daisy top. I wore this outfit to a backyard Memorial Day BBQ, where in the evening this leather jacket was necessary... isn't it supposed to be warm by now? It's almost June! Come on NYC.

Anyway, hope you all are having a lovely week so far! One of my bestest friends in the whole world from Texas arrives tomorrow for a visit. I absolutely cannot wait... let the adventures begin!

Hope you all are having a lovely memorial day weekend full of adventures.

NYC Favorites: Sweet Treats

24 May 2013


1.) Little Cupcake Bakeshop


2.) Dean & Deluca Bakery


3.) Baked by Butterfield

I am pretty sure it is quite obvious, but I really am in love with this crazy city I live in... NYC. Within the *almost* year and a half that I have lived here, I have accumulated quite a list of my favorite things to do around the city. So with that being said, twice a month or so I will be doing my 'NYC Favorites'. With my perpetual sweet tooth, I found it only appropriate to start with my fav pastry/bake shops! Here we go...

1.) Little cupcake Bakeshop, NoLita: Seriously the best cupcakes in the city. Never have I has such rich and creamy icing paired with the softest cake you can imagine. One of these days I'll spring for a a piece of layer cake... Oh so tempting!

1.) Dean and Deluca, SoHo: Everytime I find myself wandering the streets of SoHo, I can't help but stop by Dean and Deluca. This location not only had an amazing bakery but also the fanciest of groceries as well. I love picking up a coffee and pastry, then browse the isles dreaming of what I would buy if I actually cooked... One of these days!

1.) Baked by Butterfield, Upper East Side: I cannot get enough of this bakery! Gourmet donuts and cupcakes in the same shop? That is basically heaven. So far I have tried the red velvet donut and apple cider donut. Can't decide which I like better... they are both top good!

Anyway,hope you all have a lovely Friday! It's the weekend... So don't feel bad treating yourself to something sweet.

7FAM x Nikki Reed

23 May 2013



Let me just say that i am obsessed with the new 7FAM x Nikki Reed jewelry collection, a new collaboration with her jewelry line Mattlin Era. Currently I am loving this beautiful pendant necklace, and simple bangles. Summer to me is all about accessorizing and I am certain that these jeweles will be staple pieces for me!The necklace is my absolute favorite... great for jazzing up an otherwise simple outfit. 7 For All Mankind is also having a ‘Precious Metals’ contest to win Nikki Reed’s jewelry collection and a pair of jeans! To enter, follow @7FAM on Instagram and upload a picture of your favorite jewelry (statement necklace, arm party, etc.) using @7FAM and #7FAMxNikkiReed.

Good luck to all!


Easy Breezy

22 May 2013


For me it is always crop-tops all summer long. Pair it with high-waisted shorts or skirts and there you have my summer uniform. Easy Breezy and always comfortable!

Anyway, hope you all are having a good one.

Happy Day

21 May 2013


The day has finally come where I upgraded my camera to a Canon 5D! I've been using my dear the canon rebel for almost two years now and felt as though the photography on this blog needed a little refresher. Ever since I got this baby on Saturday I have been experimenting non-stop and have been letting my creativity flow. Can't wait to start shooting outfits with my new little friend. And for those of you who are wondering, I shoot with a 50mm 1.8 lens.

Anyway, I hope you all are having a lovely day!

Style // Sweet Sweet Springtime

20 May 2013


This dress to me is 100% the perfect spring piece. Besides for the beautiful mustard color, I am obsessing over the intricate details. Lace, eyelets, mesh... who knew all three could flow so fabulously. I snagged it back in Palm Springs at the BCBGMAXAZRIA Coachella party. So glad I laid my eyes on this baby before anyone else did. Anyway, I hope you all are having a wonderful Monday so far!

Lately... Saturday Edition

19 May 2013


A new Saturday edition of my 'Lately' posts! It's been quite a long time since I have done one, but I plan to get back to it again regularly. Expect these posts once a week. Here is how I spent my Saturday in the city...

1.) Admiring the beautiful flowers at Deane & Deluca in SoHo. One of my favorite grocery stores of all time.
2.) Indulging in delicious burgers at Smiths in the East Village. Love this place so much!
3.) Vintage shopping at Metropolitan. They definitely have you covered in the cut-offs department.
4.) Wandering around NoLita, people watching is great there.
5.) Drinking more coffee than I probably should.
6.) Exploring the city with my momma and dad who came to visit me this weekend! Even though I know the subway system through-and-through, my dad insists on constantly pulling out his map.
7.) Enjoying strawberry cupcakes from Little Bake Shop in NoLita, one of my absolute favorites!
8.) Running in the rain, because of course I always forget to bring an umbrella.

Anyway, hope you all had a lovely weekend as well!

White Lace Love

15 May 2013


I have a bit of an addiction to dainty white pieces. Add some beautiful lace, and I just can't resist! This top is by Dahlia Clothing, my favorite UK-based brand! I am currently a guest blogger for them this spring, so be sure to tune into their blog for some of my posts! 

Anyway, it's been another busy week for me! Hope you all are having a good one.
