Kind of in love with hats

Alright, I think it is safe to say I am mildly obsessed with hats right now. When I was living in Hawaii, Austin, or Miami, I could never ever wear hats. Now living in New York City I feel completely free to wear anything I want. I love love love knitted hats. I found this hat while rummaging at Urban in Soho the other day.







Oh ya and FYI my counterpart in this blog, as you can see has not been posting, that is because she is so busy with going to school full time at Parsons for Fashion Design and her internship with Opening Ceremony right now! I'm so excited for her! But she will be back every so often to stop by and update you guys.

J'adore Arth

I usually spend my free days walking around Soho. For me that is what calms be down from my midterms and all the trials and tribulations that life may bring me. I was coming back from lunch when I stumbled upon the cutest shop. The store is called Arth and it is based in Japan. That in itself excites me. My whole dream has been to be Japanese or maybe just to go there. I was highly influenced by Japanese style growing up in Hawaii. A lot of Japanese influences exists in Hawaii, their style is undeniably cool and effortless. I would say that my style is off duty model simplicity paired with a twist of Japanese spunk. But this store is absolutely an adorable hat store.


Their website isin't really established with their product line but here are some graphics of Arth and the hat I bought. It also has a cute little twist to it which you will see

43 degrees and wearing shorts...thats the way I roll

Living in New York city for the past 4 years I feel as though winter keeps getting colder and colder. As for this winter, I heard it was going to be the coldest yet.

Here's an outfit I wore today.








Zara Wool Coat $178
Urban Oufitters playsuit $ 68
Zara leather boots $198


I'll be posting more because I will be in hibernation besides going to school of course.

I love Regina

I think a few years back I heard about Regina Spektor. Her voice is so chilling and delicate it speaks to my soul. I was actually in Yoga today and they were playing Samson by Regina and I just started to cry. So hears a little taste of her. Hope you enjoy

Me and Claude go way back

I usually try and keep up to date with art so when I was checking out the museums I love here I was so excited for the Monet exhibit at MOMA. It was a dreary day in NYC so spending my day at the museum seemed superb!

I really feel influenced by Monet, I absolutely adore the impressionism movement. I feel completely drawn to most works of arts created from this style and time period.







He loved that idea that art will always be around after we die and he also loved the slow process of his paintings because he felt there was so reason to rush things, in life and art.

Wandering more throughout MOMA, I saw one of the artists that my mom loves...Elizabeth Peyton.





I just wanted to post this and let everyone know to keep expanding your mind! Keep finding inspiration even in the "mundane" things in life we sometimes over look.

I've never really been down with H&M but....

I just stopped by the store in Union Square because I had some time to kill before my classes. I thought I would be in and out in a matter of seconds. Turns out I actually really liked some of their accessories.

I love how all these items that will help boost some looks I already wear was only $20!





update more tomorrow!

Fashion Week Baby

On Friday night I attended Erin Wasson X RVCA show in the Tents. It was by far one of the most surreal nights of my life. I saw Alexa Chung (love her!), Taylor Momsen, Fashion toast's--Rumi, Susie Bubble, Kristin from Bleach Black, and lots of editors.


The collection was amazing although the pictures me and my friend Jayme took turned out almost as bad as the ones from style.com. But here were a few of my favorite pieces...and of course a picture of Erin.

Saturday was Alexander Wang's day. He is one of the people I always think of when I think of new, fresh, and innovative. He is by far one of my heros. We got into the show on that rainy day and saw even more people we admire. Anna Wintour, Simon Doonan, models, socialites, editors, Rachel McAdams (who is absolutely stunning), and lastly Erin Wasson who was somewhat scared of us. But that okay we still love you Erin.

Here are some looks that I loved, but in all honestly I could have died after that show and not have had any regrets about my life. It had a baseball/football theme which I though was totally fun to see.

And lastly Lynn Yaeger from Vogue...



came up to us as we awaited to get into the Alexander Wang show and she asked...do you ladies have invitations...? we retourted by saying well no...but we're getting in with the upmost positivity. And she says GREAT! I'm doing a feature on girl who loves fashion but aren't invited to the shows and she interviewed us. So look for that on Vogue.com...I know we will be checking it up frantically.

Goal for next season.....
Get invited to the shows...or at least just get my name circulating.

P.S need to buy a nice camera and need to thrift for ways to incorporate things i've seen into my wardrobe.
