First day of Fall/WhatIWore






As most of you may know(or just those living on the East coast) fall felt as if it were already here about a week ago(Don't even think about it). Rain came with its wrath and went, scarves had to be pulled out from the back of the closet,and the sun didn't come out as much, and if it did the air was still cool and fierce. Everyone started getting into that almost odd mood as if they knew what was coming. You know the one where they pretend that they hate the weather at the moment just right now, but screams whoo-rah! when they hear the word "autumn" or "fall",or when they start pulling out their fall clothes because their just so excited(that was me) .
No need to feel "odd" though, autumn is filled with color changing leaves, that fall ever so slightly at the top of your head. Crisp, sharp cold air. Everything pumpkin flavored, football, haunted houses, costumes, candy corn, thanksgiving, and most of all snow .Although the weather was a bit summer-y yesterday, I definitely enjoyed the first day of fall, here's a few quick pics from my last days of summer.



















The weather to start off the new season was surprisingly not cold. I stepped outside to feel the sun shining on my face with a bit of breeze. This is what I wore, because I need clothes to make it in life.


1. H&M leather jacket about $60, I got this jacket about a year ago at h&m for about $60+. I absolutely fell in love. Definitely my go to jacket. The one in the pic isn't quite the style I have, but you can always check the h&m website for updates.

2. Black Midi dress from Boohoo.com. I bought this dress back in June for my sisters graduation,and this was my second time wearing it. I have the 3/4 sleeve dress(not shown in the pic) but you can get it here. Unfortunately they don't have black at the moment but you can get the long sleeve version with more colors here.

3. My Living Royals hat. This pink "On Wednesdays We Wear Pink" hat topped off the outfit. Although(funny story) I wore it inside out,I thought it looked better without the words or fold. NOT BECAUSE IT WAS TUESDAY. I would have worn it the right way,even though I would hear ("But it's Tuesday" all day...that doesn't mean you can't wear the hat ya bunch of yams) Unfortunately the website no longer sells this. If you want a plain pink beanie ,you can buy it here

4.Oh last but sure not least, my favorite shoe at the moment. My all white Converse Chuck Taylor classics which you can get at the website or pretty much any shoe store.


Hope you guys had a great summer while it lasted, see you next fall.. I mean I hope you had a great trip see you next,,,I mean this fa...yeahhhh

Long awaited street style post

I'm not quite sure when or why I started to really pay attention to Street style but, whatever the reason I'm glad I did. Not only have I been wanting to document my own style but I've been wanting to document others. And with out further or do, I've got the chance.... to do one at least.

From overtly furnished trousers to little to no direction with minimal color sweatshirts, to mixed printed suit and ties, NY streets is where you will see just that. Without any inquisition, or thinking to hard you start getting used to it. But this isn't about everyday street fashion in NY oh no no no. This , THIS (needed more emphasis) is about New York Fashion Week.. "Hey dufus! ,isn't that the same thing?!" hm.. Not really ,see during NYFW people from around the world (including NY) attend different fashion shows around the city,(or wherever the tents are) and pretty much "dress to impress",or how many put it(I'm lying no one says this but)-"dress for the camera".
Why do I like this you ask? Well it's a chance to see other peoples view point regarding clothes. What pieces they'll put together. As well as how they do their hair(OMG THE HAIR). It's one big fashion show , except it's on the streets. So from the past week I've seen a lot that of these Street Style images that I like,and a lot that I love. Not all is going to be featured here, but here are some that just caught my eye...



.....oh! and theirs too!

Although some may argue that NY fashion isn't the same anymore(my dad), I'd have to say maybe so. Yet ,something in my bones is telling me something bigs a stirrin' and in the next few years NY will be back to it's old self,kind of. But for now, continue expressing your style, continue finding your style, and continue to dress up to go to....,well you're in NY ta' hell with it.

ssshh as I faintly whisper "It's Fashion week" into your ear

ITS FREAKIN' NYFW !!!
(I'm so excited I purposely misspelled "IT'S" to prove a point)
But you guys understand my enthusiasm right?! *looks around and giggles nervously* 
New York plus Fashion equals... Go ahead I'll give you a sec.
Nothing..?  If you said any of these: chaos, heart attacks, broken heels, broken dreams, street style posts, even more street style post from people who've never dressed up to go outside before, love, disease, overwhelming sense of eye action from the hot dog stand guy. You'd be correct! Well mostly,at least.
Although fashion week seems to be a bit effortless from our eyes, au contraire. The most spoken phrase I've heard all week was "its not what it seems from the outside" or something like that ,basically all the glitter and rainbows you see from your seats is the complete opposite backstage. I've always had a love for people who build for others, "the behind the scenes people" I call them. Animals that can make the biggest problems just disappear. If you still don't appreciate them at the end of fashion week after witnessing breathtaking shows, you have no place on this island...(as in Manhattan.. or the long one if your show is taking place in Brooklyn(OR edge of Brooklyn also known to people as "OMG I totally went to Brooklyn tonight it's not as bad as it seems")) 

Wait, where was I? oh yea.. Fashion week. It being Day...3? 2? 3...no it's 2, I think. Who's to know since they're has been shows since earlier this week. Well, If you're going from the Mercedes Benz Fashion week schedule it's definitely Day 3. It being Day 3 ,I must say I've been highly impressed so far. I mean NYFW is when you bring your A game, so step in the right direction? It has only been a couple of days since the week started and I'm already drafting my "need" list. "ITS NOT A NEED IF ITS NOT A NECESSITY" wrong.. IT IS A NEED IF I NECESSSI-NEED IT.
SN: If I say I need it and it has anything to do with clothes and fashion ,trust me I need it.
Clothes aren't just a "blanket" or those things I have to put on everyday because if I don't everyone would be freaked out. It's way more than that in fact.. Let me let you in on a little secret. There's these people who actually love clothes ,designing ,and styling so much that they go into careers in these fields. Yup, my friends. Its a real thing.


With soft colors,bold blacks, and dynamic prints designers are taking the cake for pulling out all the stops. Tibi, Jason Wu, Richard Chai are just a few designers bringing out the spring fever . Snow whites, teletubbie baby sun yellow ,and riche greens drive through the runway so far. Spring is looking a lot like,well Spring.

This week Tadashi Shoji absolutely blew me away ..no pun intended regarding his fabric choice..or was it intended, who cares it was perfection to say the least. Definitely catching my eye with the old time-y lace fabric. Lacey enough to go start pinning wedding ideas to a private wedding board on Pinterest. Not only light and fresh, but gorgeous and spectacular. Took the ole' I'm not a super hero but I'm wearing a cape anyway to a whole other level. And I'm in love.

Remember that question I asked earlier? You know the New York plus Fashion equals? I never answered it myself, see to me New York plus Fashion equals history. Yes, History. But I'll just leave that for another time...(ahh, get it?)
