New In: Presidents Day Shopping

I don’t know what it is, but it seems like every Presidents’ Day I go shopping and score some amazing deals from all the sales! This year was no exception; scored me some Prabal Gurung for Target (possibly my favorite Target collab ever), some indulgent magazines (I can’t wait to see where Joanna Coles brings Cosmopolitan!) and this killer high waisted leather skirt and Hogwarts tee from Savers! The sale at my fave thrift store was too good to be true; the tee was $1.50 and the skirt… TWO DOLLARS. Far too good a deal!

Did you do any sale shopping over the weekend!?20130220-122016.jpg

I’m leaving for Baltimore and Washington DC tomorrow, and it will be a pretty low-key and relaxing trip, but be sure to follow me on my social networks to keep up with all the fun I’m having!

Man Repelling as a Ghetto Republican WRapper

**Please note this title is satirical**

_DSC8025

Completely channeling Leandra AKA The Man Repeller with this look; pattern mixing to the extreme. The idea of pattern mixing used to send my OCD into a fit just thinking about it, but the idea has been growing on me and I must say it’s quite invigorating to dress a little “crazy” and make the people around me roll their eyes. In fact, when I came out with this on my photographer friend giggled and mentioned I look like a white ghetto republican rapper (hence the title). I went with it; threw on my favorite rap sing-a-long of Nelly’s Hot in Herre, and had some fun shooting this.

Feeling Parisian

This look has been in my mind for weeks now, and I finally wore it. Something about it just screams “Parisian”; Is it the stripes? The baroque printed skirt? The Prada knock-off sunnies? Or the combination of the lot?

I’ve Lost A Lot But I Won’t Let This Die

Simple outfit I wore to the mall to stock up on some fall pieces with my sister! Kept it fairly simple.

Sorry for my absence, I’ve had little support, morally and financially lately and was feeling really down and irrelevant (really; how could I define my life’s worth by whether or not I own Jeffrey Campbell’s). But with the help of a new job and a smidge of support from my mother and sister, I’m back! and though I’m taking a break from this season’s Fashion Week (the first I haven’t been a part of since 2008) I’m ready to dedicate myself and be back at it better than EVER come February. Until then, my outfit posts may subside, but I solemnly swear to update at least once a week.

Now, back to the outfit….

Styling by Sahra

This past Sunday I bravely faced my hangover and went to assist on a photoshoot with two long time friends, Greg Easton with model Colleen Leary. It was a ton of fun helping style and being an extra set of eyes and opinion, making sure everything was flawless for the images and helping with posing and locations. This was one of my first times working behind the camera (even if I wasn’t pressing the button) and it’s safe to say it won’t be my last!

Colleen is wearing:

WetSeal top

Candie’s for Kohl’s blazer

Forever21 skirt, cuff, and shoes

I’m wearing:

Frederick’s of Hollywood corset top

Thrifted skirt & belt

Aldo wedges

WetSeal star top

Forever 21 sunglasses

Colleen is wearing:

I’m Just The Same As I Was Back Then

Casual Saturday comfy look. Pre-cold front and waterfires. Ya digg? I’ve been aesthetically lazy. This “dip dyed” “ombre” hair? Completely accidentally. I’ve been too lazy to bleach my hair since, like, February, but this is growing on me. ALOT. Is it wrong to think I rock it as well as Alice Dellal?

As the Sky Darkens

Chipped neon nail polish and plenty of exposed skin. Summer, please don’t end. I never want to wear more than a casual leather jacket, draped across endlessly freckled shoulders.

Maybe these dreams could come true…I’ll keep you posted.

Sunset Dunes

I’m enjoying my time by the sea, playing mermaid and never wanting to leave. Definitely feeling Ariel inspired in this DIY skirt, Wet Seal bandeau, and thrifted tank.

The Hawaiian Shirt

I wore this fun summer look to a fun afternoon out in Providence with my friend Greg (who also shot the photos for this post!) where we went to a few local shops and boutiques before stopping in for deliciously fresh smoothies at Amy’s on Wickenden Street.
Personally, I’m thrilled with the tropical print trend right now, and even more excited that my father seems to have finally, ever so slightly outgrown some of his shirts. Yes, my father and I were the same size. And now, just in time for summer I can don his beloved tropical print tops and give them back before they make their way back out of the fashion spectrum.
