January '15 • Winter Wonderland

UO fur jacket, Aeropostale jeans, Topshop socks, Topshop flats, Zara bucket bag, Forever 21 scarf

Happy 2015!

With the start of the new year, the City decided to turn into a winter wonderland! Although the temperatures dropped very drastically (22 degrees?!), seeing the blanket of snow outside my window made me want to venture out and enjoy it! So my boyfriend and I walked over to Central Park and walked across from the west to east side, jumping and goofing around in the snow like children! xD With us both being from LA, this type of environment was all so new and we really enjoyed ourselves to a picturesque winter day.

I did not realize how difficult it is to dress for winter when it's below freezing outside, but I tried my best by pairing this awesome fur coat I picked up from the Urban Outfitters sale during the holiday season. It insulates a lot of heat and there is wiggle room to layer more underneath the jacket so I was feeling toasty warm. Socks are a MUST in the winter months, and yes I don't really like wearing socks, but these Topshop houndstooth socks are both stylish and thick enough to trap heat for my feet. My bag of choice as of right now is this Zara bucket bag that I (also) picked up from the end of the year sale and it literally holds everything and anything because it's so big! I can roll in another scarf in there if I wanted to--and a water bottle, a book, etc...it's pretty spacious. 

I enjoy the snow and crisp winter air, but I do wish it was a little warmer. When I walk around outside, I can feel my face turing solid like ice and can barely make an expression because it hurts to even move my nose. I hope everyone is staying warm wherever you are, and those of you in a warmer climate, I wish I was there with you! Appreciate the heat when you can!

December '14 • Weather Appropriate

Topshop duster coat, Forever 21 sweater, UNIF jeans, Steve Madden booties, Chanel bag, Rayban sunglasses

Hello lovelies!

Forgive me for my absence--I took a week off from doing anything after finals and my internship ended! Plus, my little sister flew into town and stayed with me for one week, so I was preoccupied with family matters.

On this day, we decided to take a walk up to the Museum of Natural History since it was my sister's last day in New York, and the weather was just too nice not to be outside! I especially enjoy winter days when the sun is shining while the air is still crisp and cool to the skin. I recently bought these holey UNIF jeans at the Urban Outfitters sale, and yes, it might not be winter appropriate, but you can easily wear ripped jeans in the colder months with some thick tights underneath to cover up the bare legs! And since I've been in a colorless mood lately, I paired the jeans with a cream sweater and a black duster coat for a monochrome look. Of course, I piled on some necklaces to avoid looking too plain, and the coral bag with the mirrored sunnies add the punch of color this outfit needed. 

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends! I'm guessing that this is my last post of 2014, and let me tell you, I am so ready for 2015! This year has brought many changes in my life--some great and some not so great--but I feel stronger coming out of the other side and can't wait to see what 2015 has stored for me. Wishing every a Happy New Years, and maybe I'll come back one more time before 2015 for a wrap-up post! But till then, love you all and talk to you soon :)

December '14 • Modern Woman

H&M jacket, Topshop top, Topshop trousers, Topshop oxfords, Casio watch, Prada bag

Hi guys!

I'm not going to write too much about this outfit today, but this is my Topshop-filled outfit post! I am in the midst of finishing up my fall semester of Junior year, and that means lots of papers and exams in the next week. But I am excited to wrap up the semester and start my winter break in the City! My sister and my boyfriend Justin will both be in New York with me this winter, so I am looking forward to sharing my days with you guys through this blog! 

My patterned top and trousers are from the Topshop Black Friday sale that I was talking about in my previous post. I've been rocking the trouser, boyish-look these days because I find trousers more comfortable and easy to move in than jeans. My oxfords are also from Topshop, and they are becoming one of my favorite shoes to sport! Again, these are super comfortable and perfect for stomping around the City!

I can't wait to come back to you guys with more fun content soon! Let me know if you're also finishing up school ! Muah!

November '14 • Black Friday Blues

Urban Outfitters hat, UO scarf, Zara coat, UNIF sweater dress, Aeropostale jeans, Vagabond boots, Prada bag

Hi all!

Today, I am sharing my Black Friday outfit in the City! This is my first Thanksgiving in New York and although I miss being in California, I had a wonderful time with my little sister (who flew in from Cali) and went nuts for the sales on Black Friday!! I was excited for the sales this year because I was spending it in one of the greatest shopping cities in the world, but at the same time, a little worried about the crowds of people and the craziness that is the Black Friday sale. 

So, we decided to get up bright and early and headed out the door by 8:30am to our first store: Urban Outfitters. Their sales were not as impressing (only the sale items were reduced), so we did not stay long and headed downtown to Soho! I had better luck there with Topshop and was able to buy a whole outfit and some socks (I have my practical needs ><), which made me a very happy camper! My sister also bought some items to gear up for the upcoming cold months, and overall had an adventurous Black Friday in the City.

Now that it is the end of November, the temperature in the City is dropping to the 30s (fahrenheit). Since it was pretty cold and I knew we were hitting shops not in a mall but outdoors, I dressed for the weather with a thick wool coat from Zara and a black sweater dress from UNIF to cover the belly from the day before! This plaid scarf is one of my favorite accessories to adorn this year because it's a great statement piece without being too flashy. I wore my blue fedora to match the blue in my scarf and slipped into my Vagabond boots because they are the most comfortable walking boots I ever own! They've even molded into the shape of my feet! 

I can't wait to share the outfit I got from Topshop! Look out for that post in the near future :) Now that there is only two more weeks left of this semester, I'll have more time to blog, so stay with me and good luck to everybody with finals! We can do this!!
