What I'd Wear to NYFW: Day 1

Dress: Zara (sold out, similar here) | Boots: thrifted (similar here) | Choker: H&M

I wish I was at Fashion Week! I've never been, and it's on my bucket list. Since I can't be there, I will be posting every day of New York Fashion Week what I'd wear if I were actually attending the shows. If I were there today, the first day, I'd wear this black off the shoulder dress from Zara paired with tights and feathered over the knee boots. According to the weather app on my phone, it's 32 degrees in NYC. Perfect mini dress weather. Go glam or go home! A black velvet choker completes the look.

Patriotic in Polka Dots

Romper: Zara | Shoes: Nordstrom Rack | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff (sold out, similar here) |

  Earrings: Nordstrom Rack | Sunglasses: Ray-Ban

Happy 4th of July! I hope all of you who celebrated the big 241st birthday were able to relax and have fun. It was a gorgeous summer day where I am. I kept it low-key and spent time with my family. Though I didn't wear this outfit today, it would have been perfect for the holiday. I'm obsessed with this navy blue and white polka dot romper from Zara. The ruffle detailing and wrap silhouette make it unique. Paired with cork wedges, Ray-Bans, hoop earrings, and a mini bag, it's ready for any summer's day. The blue and white look wouldn't be complete without a red lip. 'Zip' by Glossier is my summer scarlet of choice. I'm patriotic in polka dots.

Shades of Cool

Jacket: Zara (sold out, similar here) | Top: ASOS (sold out, similar here) | Skirt: Topshop (sold out, similar here) | Shoes: Topshop (sold out, similar here) | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff (sold out, similar here) | Earrings: Nordstrom Rack (sold out, similar here) | Bracelet: Tiffany & Co. | Sunglasses: Ray-Ban

It's been a bit chilly lately so outfits like these are still on rotation. Who knew it would be 50 degrees when spring is winding down? I'm not going to have summertime sadness, although a bit of sunshine would be nice. This look is one of my all-time favorites. I love how simple yet put together a denim skirt, turtleneck, and (faux) leather jacket is. I like to think the black tights and sock boots make me look taller, but I might be kidding myself. Someone who is barely 5' can only look so statuesque. If these low temps keep up, i'll be living in shades of cool for a while.

Sheer Darkness

Jacket: Zara (sold out, similar here) | Top: Brandy Melville | Bralette: Brandy Melville | Skirt: H&M | Shoes: Dr. Martens | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff (sold out, similar here) | Tights: ASOS | Choker: Brandy Melville (sold out, similar here)

I feel like a Hex Girl from Scooby Doo and the Witches Ghost. That movie is highly underrated imo. If you want to talk about it, lmk. I'm really into clothes that look like I'm in a coven, especially since the country has been put under some political dark spell. These days, you can find me wearing all black singing along to Harry Styles' album. My personal favorites are "Sign of the Times," "Sweet Creature," "Ever Since New York," "Two Ghosts," and "Meet Me in the Hallway." However, all the songs are divine (much like him). If you haven't given the masterpiece a listen yet, please do! (If you're reading this, Harry, I love you.)

I finally got my hands on the sheer top from Brandy Melville I'd been eyeing for a while. Your first see-through article of clothing counts as some sort of rite of passage, doesn't it? I'm going to go with yes. It's daring. It's edgy. It's totally Cher Horowitz approved. I'm all about it. I paired the barely-there blouse with a lacy black bralette, faux leather jacket, raw-hem denim skirt, fishnets, and Doc Martens. MAC lipstick in 'Model Behaviour' adds the finish touch. If you're going '90s goth, you have to go all the way. This look is sheer darkness.

Spring Stripes

Stripes? For spring? Groundbreaking. In all seriousness, I am a big fan of stripes for spring. I don't care if it's cliché. Some patterns are classic in all their seasonal glory. For this look, I paired my favorite striped Zara shirt with an off-white, floral embossed off the shoulder top, mom jeans, and white Adidas kicks. To balance the boho and '90s vibes going on, I accessorized with silver hoop earrings and a delicate Tiffany bracelet, and carried my Rebecca Minkoff mini bag. This look is springtime ready.

The Midi

We are right in the "midi" of spring! Summer is right around the corner and I cannot wait! Boston has been on the cooler side lately, so outfits like this one are perfect for the crisp temps. I am obsessed with this knit midi skirt I got at the Aritiza sale back in February. Aritzia's sales are amazing! You can find some incredibly stunning items. I styled the midi with all black pieces, (no surprise), as its sleek silhouette suits the classic, stark shade. An off the shoulder crop top compliments the high waist and block heeled sandals literally tie the look together. My signature faux leather Zara jacket is the finishing touch.

I Come in Peace

Top: Zara (sold out, similar here) | Jeans: Zara | Shoes: Vans | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff (sold out, similar here) | Choker: LF (sold out, similar here) | Earrings: Nordstrom Rack | Glasses: Warby Parker

Greetings, earthlings! I come in peace. It is the year 2017 in the month of May. I have a newfound love for space buns. These past few months, I have been marching for women's rights, immigration, and science. Planet earth is out of this world right now. It's like an alternate universe. The '60s and '70s had their fair share of protests and bohemian flair. Perhaps the late-'10s will be marked by the resistance and an individualistic approach to fashion; a culture that is more collective in ideology than clothing. As for me, I'll be wearing my space buns and dressing across decades. 🌎✨🌙

Dream Jeans

Top: Zara (sold out, similar here) | Jeans: LF (sold out, similar here) | Shoes: Vans | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff (sold out) | Choker: Forever 21 (sold out, similar here) Earrings: Nordstrom Rack |

Hey now! Hey now! This is what jeansssss are made of! Seriously. Lizzie McGuire is singing about them right now. These jeans are the jeans of my D R E A M S!!! They're one of my favorite pairs I have ever owned. I'm in love with the vintage vibe. I got them at LF during their end of the season sale for almost 90% off. If you're going to shop LF, shop their sales. Trust me. I paired my dream jeans with an off the shoulder top from Zara, my well-loved slip-on Vans, Rebecca Minkoff mini bag, big silver hoops, and a velvet rhinestone chocker. I dream of jeans and beautiful spring weather.

Angst

Dress: Tularosa | Top: ASOS (sold out, similar here) | Jacket: Zara (sold out, similar here) | Tights: ASOS (sold out, similar here) | Shoes: Topshop (sold out, similar here) Bag: Rebecca Minkoff (sold out) | Earrings: Nordstrom Rack

Boston is melting! It's bizarre that it has been in the high 50s and 60s lately, especially since we had a blizzard about two weeks ago and over a foot of snow. It's only February! Global warming is not being subtle. I figured I might as well take advantage of the angsty weather by wearing an angsty outfit. I haven't worn my denim dress since October so it was nice being able to wake it up from wardrobe hibernation. I paired the frock with fishnets and layered a simple black turtleneck underneath since it's certainly not sleeveless weather quite yet. My trusty faux leather jacket is the perfect topper piece. Ankle boots, a mini bag, and oversized silver hoops complete the edgy look.

Overall Edge

Overalls: H&M (sold out, similar here) | Sweater: c/o Tobi (sold out, similar here) | Jacket: Zara (sold out, similar here) | Shoes: Sam Edelman | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff (sold out) | Earrings: Nordstrom Rack 

The weather in Boston has been unusually warm lately. Today was in the mid 40s and yesterday was in the 60s which is insane! It feels more like fall here than the middle of winter. I decided to take advantage of the wacky weather and wear something that wouldn't be appropriate for typical freezing temperatures. I scavenged my closet for my favorite H&M black overalls. I haven't styled them in a couple months and was missing them dearly. I decided to pair them with a bell sleeve turtleneck sweater from Tobi, my trusty faux leather Zara jacket, ankle boots, and a mini bag. This outfit has an overall edge.

Classically Monochrome

Jacket: Zara (sold out, similar here) | Sweater: Lord & Taylor (sold out, similar here) | Shirt: H&M | Skirt: American Apparel | Shoes: Sam Edelman | Bag: Kate Spade | Watch: Daniel Wellington

It's no secret I love a monochrome outfit. The sweater + crisp white shirt + black tennis skirt + leather jacket comibation is my favorite look of all time. It's classically Coco Chanel and effortless. This look will take you anywhere: from class, to work, to a night out. Layering a white shirt underneath a cozy black sweater and topping it all off with a leather jacket adds extra warmth. Also, can we talk about how cute and festive Beacon Hill is looking right now?! There is nothing better than Boston during the height of the holiday season.
