City Hearts


 Top : Forever 21 (similar) / Skirt : Vintage (similar, more affordable option) / Bra : Gapbody (similar) / Sunglasses : Bangkok Market (similar) / Bag : Anthropologie (similar) / Shoes : Loeffler Randall

There is no shortage of colorful wall art in New York City and the East Village has it's fair share of the bunch. We stumbled upon this fun mural last week and I loved the bright colors, happy heart motifs and juxtaposition against the black background paint.

Tularosa

Outfit Details
Dress : Tularosa (sold out, similar) / Bag : Loeffler Randall / Shoes : Zara (old, similar) / Sunglasses : Quay

I have been on a mission to add more dresses to my wardrobe this year and a white lace-y option was high on my shopping list. I happened to see this one from Tularosa on sale from Planet Blue last week and jumped on it. I love how it can be dressed down with sandals and cross-body bag for running around town or dressed up with heels and a leather jacket for dinner out.

Tularosa is a newer brand to me, I just recently heard about them. Many of their items have a subtle bohemian feel that appeals to me. I especially like this dress, this top and this romper.

Holiday Wishlist

It's that time of year when people tend to give us things. Which means we need to know what to ask for. While there are many items one may hope for for the holidays (cough, camera, cough), wardrobe additions are the gift that keeps on giving throughout the season. That being said, I have complied a few items that I would love to open this year for christmas, and will hopefully give you some ideas of what to put on your own wishlist for the holidays. Anddddd, bonus, now you know what to buy me!
1. Bustier; these little numbers work wonders on any figure, and are actually super flattering, assuming you get the right size, and pairs perfectly with a high waisted skirt for a holiday party or night out. Urban has them in many a color and pattern.

2. Nighttime Shorts; I've been looking for a perfect pair of shorts to wear out at night, and while it's easy to find them for an arm and a leg, not so easy on the cheap. Urban has this silky black pair, I would wear with a shirt tucked in, tights-possibly patterned and booties. As long as it is a winter/evening appropriate material, shorts are a great alternative to skirt for winter.

3. Serious Heels; This shoe is just so badass I can't get over it. I think this is the perfect shoe for New Year's Eve. Not much more to say, I'm sure your already convinced of it's amazingness.

4. Feather Skirt; Simple color, unique texture, feathers add that extra sumpin' sumpin'. I would wear it exactly as this dashing young dame is, with a loose white tee and some jewels.

5. The Baggy Tee; Quite the basic, a baggy loose tee is a current essential in the modern female's wardrobe. However, many a friend of mine do not own such items (you know who you are who have borrowed from me). I am a sucker for all things tee, but I recommend having at least a white and black version; dressed up or down you will wear this all the time. BDG from Urban has tons of colors and styles. But really you can find this a lot of places, if nothing else just buy a normal tee two sizes too big.

6. Utility Jacket; I have been wanting a big military jacket like this since the fall. The color and style are very menswearish but worn with some big jewelry and a girly shirt it's the perfect juxtaposition.

7. Fresh Shades; The weather may be blah, but you can still keep things bright and cheery in these sunglasses. Totally unexpected and will put a smile on anyone's face, that is if they can see you from behind their giant puffy jacket as they trudge to class. At Cornell at least.

8. The Muff!; These things need to make a comeback. So classic, and practical too. This one even has an attached chain so you don't have to hold it! Very holiday, one horse open sleigh.

There you have it. Happy Wishing! And just a reminder I live at 577 Gregory Lane, Devon Pa, 19333, so you can send my presents there. Thanks!

Sweatin' it out.


One step out of 135 west 10th, and I knew wide leg jeans was a misstep on my part today. Had I dutifully consulted weather.com for the temperature of the day? Well, no, but those things are wrong a lot right? I mean, does 90 degrees to the weatherman, feel the same as 90 degrees to me? Something to WONDER about, eh? Anywho, bad move on the jeans, until inside the icepit which is the dvf pr room, and maybe, just maybe, I am a genius. Or not. Oh well, you win some you lose some, you sweat some you don't.

Next on agenda; minimal clothing in 90 degree heat. Jean shorts, cut off tops, what have you. Shoes in every which way, boots, sneakers, the ubiquitous gladiator, and course the sunnies. Less fabric the better, except if it's tie dye, then by all means, bring it on.
