nothing is more girly than some pastel-printed shorts and i was really in the feminine dressing mood today. in an aggressive and busy city, filled with lots of black clothing, i find the effect of softer shades and fabrics to have quite a calming effect! how’s your day going so far? xoxo

i’d like to take a moment to thank H&M for it’s current offerings! i purchased this top there yesterday, allowing me to grab yet another minty-shaded item and this time, with a peplum fit i’ve been lusting after. the rose-gold flats we’re also purchased there yesterday — for $14! i’m a bit surprised at how versatile the shade is and will definitely be living in these all summer.
it’s a bit rainy and gross out, but when sunnier weather approaches, can’t wait to try top this with a bubble skirt to accent the peplum even more! headed to the trump soho to help them pick their summer cocktail tonight!! can’t wait. xoxo.

can we just take a minute and talk about this headband?!?! it’s the most gorgeous blackened gold leaves, nestled together on a gold headband. it’s simply stunning and is so finely crafted. and unlike most of the headache-inducing headbands i own, it’s just loose enough to be comfortable for all-day wearing, just tight enough to never shift once in place. it completely set the tone for a more sweet, ethereal outfit pairing! xoxo.
