These photos were shot in the heart of Soho, amongst the gorgeous cobblestone streets. I decided to spend the afternoon shopping, but had a bit of a tough time due to the heavy crowds that day! We did so much walking and even hit up stores in Time Square as well as on 5th avenue. We were pretty much all over the place! It’s easy though in nyc… you can cover so much ground in one day thanks to the lovely mta hehe! What was more crazy was receiving tweets that day from readers who happened to bump into me that day shopping. So unreal… to be spotted in such a big city! Thanks guys, but next time please come up and introduce yourself! 🙂

Volcom sweater, We Are Rubbish shorts, By Corpus top, Chanel bag, Milor Italy rings, BCBG shoes)

Another look that works well into spring is a great pair of faux leather high waisted shorts with a short crop tee. These photos were shot back at home in LA, but I already plan on sporting this here in NYC. Dylana just left these shorts for me in my bedroom and I can’t stop wearing them! This Volcom sweater, fresh out of the Fall ’11 catalog, is also one of my favorite pieces right now. I happen to throw it on over everything on chilly nights out. I got a sneak peek into all the Fall pieces during my shoot for the web video series, launching on Volcomunity.com, and let me say, I found some really really cute things that I couldn’t help but keep for myself! The jewels featured here were shipped straight from Italy, from Milor Jewels! I love the black and purple stones. So there you have it, my new must-have outfit. Gaaaah, need. more. cool. shorts. like. these! Thanks dydy!

I played around with the dark colors of my wardrobe for our evening out with friends in Rittenhouse, Philadelphia! Thankfully I brought a leather jacket and scarf for the short trip to keep myself bundled against the strong winds that night. Dylana showed me around the neighborhood and we ended up at the cutest little street ever! With the trees perfectly aligned and lit up, it was magical. I’m obsessed with the location she lives in. Now that I am in NYC, I plan on taking more weekend trips to Philly. It’s a lot calmer there, but just as fun. It is the perfect little getaway from all the crazy hustle and bustle over here! Btw, I am super sad to say that I wore these Ferragamo flats sooooooo much that the sole fell off! GAH, they were amazetotheballs and I don’t know what to do without them! On my wishlist here in New York: new ballet flats!
