My Closet.

Shoes: Thrifted/ Photos: William Thomas

Did some major cleaning today and wanted to share some of the progress I made with my closet. Which isn't really a closet, but 2 lopsided rolling racks in our kitchen that my boyfriend puts up with. We have a closet in the bedroom that I've taken over but so graciously spared a foot and a half of space for him(I know I know, girlfriend of the year). I try to keep the clothes I wear more regularly in the kitchen and add some clothes that I should wear more often to the racks in there. Go too items like grandpa sweaters and out of season things I keep in the bedroom. There are quite a few things on the racks I'm especially excited to share. Alexander Wang shorts and a T by A Wang dress being 2 of them. I bought both ridiculously on sale(the shorts I scored for $35 and the dress $11). If you haven't been able to tell yet I'm really into finding things on the cheap. There's an unexplainable thrill when I find a designers "it" item for more than half the price it sold for originally. Even if it is out of season. The shoes in the bottom photo are a thrift attempt to make okay that almost every shopping site has the Alexander Wang Addison boot for less than $250 but only in a baby size 36. I wear a 40 sometimes 41 in high end shoes. My thrifted boots make me feel better... for the moment.

The Zoo and Park Slope












Jacket: BCBG, Skirt: Nicole Miller, Shirt: DKNY pure, Leggings: American Apparel, Shoes: BCBG,
Bag: Vintage, Sunglasses: D&G


Went on a short trip to the Bronx Zoo (short due to my lack of liking anything I put on that day)
. The outfit I settled on was probably not the most kid or single male adult appropriate. After checking out some animals (the Red Panda is my favorite) we headed over to Brooklyn to grab some vegan food at one of my favorite restaurants called The V-Spot. On our way over we snapped some photos of my outfit and a man poked his head out of a garage and suggested we take photos inside because there was "a lot of stuff in here". Okay, normally we'd decline and relocate as fast as possible but Billy leaned his whole body inside the garage to see what kind of "stuff" this guy was talking about. Turns out, he had about 100 vintage cars inside his garage. He claims he lent one to the B52's "Loveshack" video, which I have yet to Youtube and see if it's true. Regardless, it was awesome seeing all the cars and really inspiring to meet someone who had such a strong passion.

Winter, Spring, Winter.

Took a chilly walk through Central park, shopped in Topshop for the last time ever, visited the Alexander Wang store, stuffed my face with vegan food from Food swings in Brooklyn, wore my favorite sweater, ate more vegan food at Wild Ginger, witnessed a moving karaoke rendition of "too close", was excited and disappointed at the same time to wear my new vintage coat and got my car broken into under the BQE. Luckily my A. Wang boots and Billy's camera equipment were left unharmed.

Double Take.











Jacket: BCBG, Blouse: DKNY, Jeans: random pair I've had forever, Necklace: BR + gifted glass and bead necklace, Belt: Michael Kors, Boots: Alexander Wang, Sunglasses: Ralph Lauren, Lipstick: MAC vegas volt.

I've never been a person to wear things once. If I find something I like, I'll wear it until it falls apart. I love the color combo of the purple and yellow (I think I said that in the last post) so i tried changing the look a little with a darker pair of jeans and a metal belt. We took these after my little cousins middle school play (she was amazing!!) and did some exploring on Long Island after. Pretty much a perfect Sunday.

Some Color.







Necklace: BR, Silk printed shirt:DKNY ($2 thrift store find) Jacket: BCBG, Jeans: DKNYjeans, Lipstick: Nicki Minaj for MAC







Finally a warm day on Long Island. A quick run around on the beach and some rock and shell collecting took up most of the afternoon. I'm experimenting with lipstick, which is way out of my daily makeup routine( if smudging blush on my face with my fingertips and calling it quits is a "routine"). The only lipstick brand I trust to use is MAC. I'll admit, I know nothing about the brand. For $14 a pop I assume it must be good. So far I own 4 different colors and they've held up incredibly long throughout the day. Also, the color that you see in the tube is exactly what ends up on your lips. Can anyone suggest other brands trust and use?
