wearing: malt shop memories striped top: c/o Lulus, pants: Thread, baron slippers: c/o MIA Shoes, bag: Forever 21, necklaces: c/o Eloquii, bracelets: Forever 21, rings: from b.brill and H&M, nails: OPI in ‘here today…aragon tomorrow,’ makeup: Sephora shadow in ‘coffee brown’ and Wet n’ Wild mega liquid liner.
this top is totally adorable and quite reminiscent of a circus tent don’t you think? i attended the Lulu’s event for NYFW and was able to grab an item off the racks that i adored. i know, a dream come true, right? i love wearing peaches and pinks but didnt have a patterned top in the shade that i loved. this is the perfect one and it’s so lightweight, i can see myself wearing it over a swimsuit this summer!
headed out in a bit to the Foley + Corinna showroom to check out the latest collection. i’ve heard great things about it but want to see everything up close, as i’ve long been a fan and it was one of the first shops i went to when i first moved to the lower east side and found it right down the street! will post some favorites tomorrow and tweet some photos tonight! xoxo.

wearing: tank/top: Forever 21, pants: Zara, pumps: GoJane.com, clutch: c/o Elly Clay, necklace: c/o Brian Burkhardt for Kenneth Cole bracelets: Forever 21 and lucite cuff c/o Lucky Mag, nails: RGB in ‘doll,’ makeup: Elizabeth Arden cream blush in ‘pink,’ Sephora shadow in ‘glittering sand’ and The Balm shadow in shameless shana.’
i’d originally planned to wear black jeans today, but needed something slimmer in the ankles to pair with my new (and new favorite) shoes from GoJane.com. i still can’t believe they were only $30 and look so high-end. anyways, a change of pants left me wearing four different shades of aqua blue and i think it actually looks cool; less matchy than i’d anticipated for sure!
it’s so weird how quickly my color preferences changed as soon as my hair color did. i thought i’d always be obsessed with pinks and peaches, and while i still love the shade, now that i’m no longer a blonde, i find myself searching for mint greens and lavender items to wear. it’s not even something i consciously thought about and was more of an automatic response. i just think it’s quite interesting how the brain’s preference for color works like that! xoxo.

wearing: top: Forever 21, skirt: American Apparel, pumps: GoJane.com, belt: thrifted, mid city tote: c/o Foley + Corinna, bracelets: thrifted, Forever 21, c/o BaubleBar, nails: RGB in ‘doll,’ makeup: Sonia Kashuk blush in flamingo.’
i’m so willing to experiment with the clothing i wear every day but am the total opposite when it comes to experimenting with my hair. i’m naturally a really dark blonde/light brown but have colored it practically white for more than a decade. i’ve had a hair crush on lisa mayock (aka one half of design duo behind Vena Cava) for ever, and the fact that she lives in my neighborhood and i’m forced to stare longingly at her tresses so often doesn’t help. anyways, while catching up with my sister this weekend, she convinced me to take the plunge. it was easier than i expected, both to do it and to get used to it. it’s opened me up to an entire new color palette with my makeup and clothes, making me more excited to try new things! xoxo.
