Red Hot Ruffle

Summer has finally arrived in NYC! We're finally hitting the upper 80's in temps, and sunny days are made for Central Park strolls and Mister Softee icecream! Another benefit of the warm days is getting to breakout these off the shoulder ruffle bodysuits! (I have both red and navy!) They're super comfortable and great for hot days!

Brooklyn Room Tour

I'm so happy that I've finally settled in to my first real apartment! After dorming for two years, I moved in with one of my best friends, Lulu, in a two-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn! It's been about a month, and as I type this we are currently watching Gilmore Girls in our living with wine and popcorn, so clearly it's amazing!!

5 Reasons To Make Blogger Friends

I'm so lucky that NYC is filled with tons of amazing bloggers, and I've met some amazing girls while blogging in New York! All of the girls I've met create amazing content and are such nice, genuine, and inspiring people!

My first blogger friends, Hillary and Tatum, I met at a blogging event in September 2016, and after MANY brunches, coffees, events, and exploding champagne bottles on Instagram Live, these blogging friends have become real-life friends! Even better, my blogging circle keeps growing by meeting and getting to know new girls!

Jumpsuit

I'm back! These past few weeks have been absolutely insane with final exams and moving from the west side of Manhattan down to Brooklyn! But I'm all moved in now, (small room tour pics coming soon!) and ready to start summer!! 

This outfit shoot could not have been more perfect since it was at the DUMBO color wall in Brooklyn, and since I'm obsessed with wearing this jumpsuit right now. It's perfect for that in-between time when it's not yet super warm, but warm enough that you don't need a jacket! 

Liberty Floral

Spring is finally here!! Last Saturday I spent the day browsing vintage shops and brunching with two of my favorite blogger friends Hillary and Tatum! It was such a beautiful day, and I finally got to wear shorts and a Tshirt! (bye bye jackets and jeans!)

Speaking of shorts, J.Crew just came out with this pair in Liberty Floral, plus solid pink and white! And as if that wasn't fun enough, pairing this fun print with a classic stripe is a match made in heaven! I can't take credit for the duo though, it's straight outta the J.Crew Style Guide (aka my bible)

Berries in Brooklyn

Black, white, and red. Is there any better color combination? Not in my book. I've been obsessed wih wearing these white jeans ever since I got them, and they're so chic and easy paired with this black surplice top from Tobi! The back is a little daring, I'll admit, but it's so fun to show an unexpected flash of skin, especially since it's been warming up here in NYC (slowly, but surely). 

The #ArtofFun with Donald J Pliner

Fun is strutting through Soho or the Lower East Side for brunch with your girl gang, or wandering the West Village looking for the best margarita on friday night. In any exciting adventure, one thing that can make it better is doing it in that killer pair of shoes that everyone compliments you on!

When Donald J Pliner asked if I wanted to join in on their spring campaign, I saw both of these block heeled mules in their spring collection and fell madly in love!! Mules are one of the biggest shoe-trends for spring and summer. Heeled, flat, leather, suede, anyway you can imagine them, they are a must-have!

Festival

Coachella may be coming to a close, but festival season is far from over! With Bonnaroo, Lollapolooza, Governors Ball, and so many more around the corner, your Instagram feed is about to be flooded with flower crowns, twin-bun hair, and a slew of lace rompers and bralettes-as-tops.

For my festival-inspired look, Tobi sent me this gorgeous lace romper, with a sheer mesh back and a slight bell-sleeve! I'm absolutely obsessed with it! I did have to safety-pin the front to keep the neck from opening and flashing, but other than that I LOVE it!

Beautiful clear skin will make you feel amazing, and ready to take on the day, but a huge zit will make you want to crawl back under the covers. Here are 10 easy ways to try ad prevent those little spots, and wake up with clear, bright skin!

Cafeteria

The best down-home American comfort food served smack in the middle of Manhattan. This 24-hour cafe has everything you could ever want, from a 3 macaroni and cheese sampler and fried chicken and waffles, to the best tomato soup and grilled cheese combo that will make you miss home. 

This is one of my favorite places for any meal from breakfast, brunch, to dinner, or 3 AM mac and cheese (they deliver!!) and I've never had anything here I didn't love. 

Biggest Trends for Spring 2017

One amazing part of being an FIT student is getting access to Fashion Forecasting websites (that normally cost about $10,000 per year) and being able to read trends WAY ahead of the runways. (Seriously, right now they're doing trend stories for Fall 2018!). But since that's a little far away, I researched Spring 2017 trends across five different forecasters, and here are three Trend Stories for the Spring that you wont want to miss!

Citrus & Sandals

So many of my favorite things going on in this outfit... where to begin? First of all, I'm completely in love with the color of this dress! Bright canary yellow is exactly what the doctor (and runways) ordered for Spring '17, and it's on the top of my shopping list!
