Check ins and Returns

I'm having such a horrible time trying to blog and have an internship, it takes up most of my time and I wish I had more time to take outfit pictures while in the city because I swear I wear good outfits everyday! If it wasn't dark out when I get home, I would do it more often. I got out semi early today and even though it was dark I still was in the mood for some pictures.

Top and oxfords; Zara

Shorts; Goodwill

It's hard to walk around an office when everyone is in heels and you know you're the intern and you have to be realistic and wear flats or you're going to die walking around the streets of New York. I wish I could be chic and sit at a desk and not have to run around. Oh well.. one day.

On another note, I went to Fashion's Night Out last Friday, it was so much fun - I met Rachel Zoe. Yes. My idol. It was worth the two hour wait, believe me. Other than that I spotted Anna Wintour, Phillip Lim and KARL LAGERFELD. I didn't take many pictures I was freaking out too much haha!

New York Fashion Week never seizes to blow up my mind, after it officially ends I'll pick my favorites and tell you guys, of course anddddddd my blogs birthday is coming but very soon, I will do a special post of course!

* Also I did a little clothing swap with Kate from Postcards From... so you'll be seeing some new outfits with her clothes, I'm so excited to show you guys the cute pieces I got from her! *

Panic attack kind of day

Like I said in my last post, I went to the city again yesterday, for more news I don't want to say here yet. I'm sorry for keeping you all hanging, I'm sure you could guess some of it though just by the way I'm dressing! I didn't have time to take pictures outside but I couldn't help but show off this gorgeous dress from the Forever 21 in Times Square I was talking about! The stitching detail is wonderful, and so is the fabric. I love the zipper the most.

Surprise! The soles of my heels match my dress, this was not intentional but I love it anyways. Good job Christian Siriano for foreseeing that I was going to wear a turquoise dress with your heels one day.

Dress; Forever 21
Belt; Vintage

Tomorrow I'm going to a Hanson concert, bring on the MMBops and all.

Dressed Up Occasion

I went to New York City today for yet another exciting event, although I don't want to share about it just yet! I walked around Columbus Circle, ate and finally visited the new Forever 21 in Times Square which was gorgeous (of course) but too filled with people. I managed to find the perfect dress for an event I have coming up, so I guess it was a success even though I was there for less than 20 minutes! haha, I'm such a speedy shopper.

I'm off to Long Beach Island in NJ for the rest of the week with my family, I'll be back soon enough with pictures from the week! Have a good week bloggers!

Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show

Today I got to attend the Manhattan Vintage Clothing show at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City, I mentioned in my last two posts, I had never been and truly was such an amazing experience. I stepped into the lobby and the first thing I saw was a display of Louis Vuitton luggage...need I say more?

I was surrounded by the most fashionable people I've ever encountered I think, and the most expensive amazing vintage pieces I've ever seen, tables and tables (90 to be exact) of jewlery, clothing, shoes, purses, magazines, men's clothing and so much more. Needless to say - I was in Heaven. Of course all these gorgeous items were way out of my price range, but it was nice to dream and see what I could eventually buy once I find a good job... ha!

Here's some pictures I snagged of the event:

Chanel bags galore! I drooled

they had a special exhibit of vintage t-shirts from the underground

Sorry I didn't get a better picture of my outfit!

I bought a wonderful dress that was in my price range towards the end (I wasn't about to leave this place without something in my hand!) I'm wearing it to the Bronx Zoo tomorrow, so you'll see outfit posts with it soon enough :)

Living in style

Okay bloggers, I have lots of stories for you from today! My mother and I visited a second cousin today in New York City, I was in awe of her apartment because she lives on the corner of West 86th Street, right next to Central Park and right down the street from The Met. I was in love in seconds of walking into the apartment. It was gorgeous, and above all this, my cousin knows lots and lots about fashion, textiles, and art. She took me around to some wonderful secondhand shops with all designer labels.

This means I touched:

A vintage Chanel tweed suit, Zac Posen dress, Valentino dresses, YSL jackets, Chole dresses, and so so much more. I was dying and going to heaven everytime I touched a different piece of clothing. The workmanship of these pieces was unbelievable. The fabric was so wonderful, the buttons were heavy and sturdy. It really is worth the money. Even though a leather Chanel dress was marked down from $6,000 to around $1,000 of course it was still wayyyyyyyy out of my price range. But once I get a real job, I will go back and splurge...eventually.

Allan & Suzi is on the West side of Central Park, this shop requires a door bell to be rung to walk in, has such wonderful displays of not only vintage designer but newer designer clothing. The store itself is small but is packed with wonderful clothing, it's pricey but I thought it was the most moderately priced out of the three stores I went to. I'm hoping to take my fashion club here, and you should visit too!

The other two secondhand stores I went to on the East side of Central Park were Roundabout (ask me if you want the address) which is a new and resale couture shop, that had more of an organized selection of clothing all designer, and all fabulous. & A Second Chance, this store was more of an accessories store. There were shelves and shelves of Chanel and Louis Vuitton purses (I was dying) and tons of Chanel jewelry, including the classic pearls. I was really in love, but again everything was way out of my price range.

Definitely go check all these stores out if you have the chance, they are wonderful!

tomorrow I'll show you what I wore for the day!

Let your love grow tall

Happy Monday bloggers! I have one week left until I'm back at school and taking 6 classes, which I'm excited for. I think I'm just sick of being home doing nothing. This next week I'll be busy though, tomorrow is my boyfriend's birthday and then I'll be packing and doing last minute things until I go back to school!

Yesterday my boyfriend and I went into Princeton for a bit with my little sister and I managed to bare the cold and take some pictures of my outfit which included my new velvet cape! I didn't add the button and chains yet, but you'll get the idea of the cape, it's really gorgeous!

Then at night we went to New York City to see Passion Pit at Terminal 5, they were absolutely amazing!

the lights were amazing

look into my life

Friday I took a trip to New York City with my boyfriend to see my two favorite things - The Met and the Christmas tree! Heres a couple pictures from my trip

Jackie O. I love you

Right now my head is wrapped around art, christmas decorations, and outfits for holiday parties - instead it should be wrapped around homework, finals, and my school's fashion show.

speaking of here are a few outfits I love right now:

I'm really loving the pale blues, greys, and pinks right now. Especially for the holidays.
