Take me Out

An Evening Out with Alejandro Ingelmo

For an evening out, I’m all about some cool, dark printed layers. A maxi-dress, a structured jacket or blazer, with some killer accessories. Right now, I’m on a bit of a punk platform kick. Those Shoreditch creepers were always on the top of my wishlist. I’m obsessed with Alejandro Ingelmo’s pair here, featured as part of Polyvore’s Designer Collective. The handbags, structured shoes, and neon kicks have a totally fresh spin on all of my favorite classics. I want to take this look out for a night of music, maybe even a little whiskey, down on the Lower East Side, a place that inspires me to wear whatever I want. Talk about some underground love! And eeeep, it’s fashion week! Already my calendar is jam packed. Looks like every night is going out night!

Girls Running with the Wind

Extreme windy days for us NYC girls, call for tiny little dresses, not-thick-enough tights, and hair…long enough to create a rat’s nest in the wind. Of course I thought it was totally ok to go out in a frock that just barely covered my bum. As did Kelsea…the girl refuses to wear jeans! But still, this colorful mess of a look is still one of my favorite little ensembles. Stripes and plaid. Who knew it’d be like bread and butter! Black, white, burgundy, mustard, navy blue…the old school colors of the rainbow have me smitten. Paired with a tiny little pointed toe bootie, I don’t think the east village had seen anything so colorful on a winter’s day. Even with the cold, everyday is still so go, go, go. With the beautiful light snow just outside my window, I’m ready for one Sunday for hibernation and breakfast in bed.

Baby, It’s Cold Outside

It’s nearly Saturday, and all I want to do is bundle on the couch in a velvet blazer, and wool trousers. I’m inspired to stock up on some faux fur, and make a roadtrip out West. Anything to escape the chill. Yet we’re still snuggling together in high collars, and clean button-downs, all before we can finally put the coats in the back of our wardrobes to whip out the babydoll dresses and bare legs. Spring, I’m excited for you to finally roll around and show your colors. For now, I’m seeing black and white.

A Blue Winter

Some winter days are meant for extremely oversize boyfriend jeans, and boxy coats, because guess what, it’s THAT cold. Slipping and sliding through the ice, I had just come out of a shoot, and honestly, after anything revolving around posing in little dresses, all I want is to throw on something HUGE and cozy right after. Plus, I left on the killer cat eye the makeup artist did on me…if only I could do this every single day and perfectly, but I’m getting there! Anyways, I was that blue dolphin chick on a pizza hunt in my neighborhood of the East Village. I love my new home. Our new apartment is so so so cute and cozy. I’ll try to have images up soon somehow, but we’ve still got loads more decorating to get too. Work weeks, combined with weekends doing mooore work always get in the way! It’s all worth it though, lots of really cool features and work coming your way in the coming months. For now, I’m still on the hunt for that perfect bedspread.

Don’t forget to sign up to my vintage heaven, Nifty Thrifty, where I scored this killer coat in their Brooklyn warehouse. I can’t wait for my next visit.
