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

How to not be yourself whilst still being yourself

What's better than not being you for a day?....nothing. You should always be yourself, BUT if you ever want to not be. You want to know how?
It's simple,isn't it. Obviously it should be, you're only changing who you've known the longest and who you know best. So again, how hard can it be. Imagine waking up one morning not wanting to put on that same uniform you've been wearing for two years straight (that you didn't want to just abandon because someone said your butt look great in it-once) and having the chance to reinvent your style, Wouldn't you? Prying away your old style from your soul can be hard. That's why I'm here. Nothing should be done all at once. Of course it can be, but in the process of switching up your style, we'll just take it slow.
The first thing you must do is research. Figure out a style you like, and which you would like to achieve. Who do you admire in regards to fashion(If it's someone who already dresses like you do with your "uniform" you might as well stop here. You're going to go through this whole process ending up spending money on the same thing that has been in your closet since high school!. My apologies ,I'm here for you *takes breather*)
Step two, start buying some pieces. Key word: Pieces. Don't go all out and buy a whole outfit that you saw in a magazine because you wanna look like her/him or herm. You want to ...test the waters. Wear that jacket piece you bought with some old jeans, see how it fits. And slowly but surely your wardrobe will build. Another good reason for this step is the people around you. You don't want to automatically change your wardrobe and have your grand mom questioning if it's a phase. "All the kids these days go through phases Eucile!, it's the norm! ." says your granddad.
This post isn't about making you want to be someone else by changing your style, in case you wanted to change it up I'm here to help.
And the last step in this charade, you guessed it..be yourself! Changing your wardrobe doesn't mean you have to change who you are as a person. If you were a jerk before...be a jerk aft..that's not exactly what I'm trying to say but you get the picture. Be your old self,in your new rags.



Enjoy it ,but most of all...Keep the receipts..jking..but srsly guys like 4rl

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.
