Summers End

Summers dead. At least for me. I left NYC yesterday morning and i'm back upstate for a couple months. But i'm kinda glad about it... need some structure back in my life that didn't involve waking up in friends beds every other day. One of my favorite pieces I bought this summer was this Reformation bodysuit, so I knew I had to post an outfit featuring it! It's the loveliest red-orange color, a perfect summer to fall transition shade, and it goes with everything in my closet surprisingly.

This post is also ft. Christina again (we didn't plan matching outfits, swearrr) and shot by the lovely Kenny again as well.

August Blues

Alas, August is half way over already, and i'm totally sad about it. Loads of friends are jetting off for their final weeks of vacation, and I'm very much still here in the city heat. I may not be finding myself in some tropical resort, but I definitely spent the day exploring the aesthetic gem of the city that is Roosevelt Island.
Had the wicked pleasure of being photographed by the ultimate MVP @LaidBackKenny alongside one of my best friends, Christina.
After the shoot, I did a bit of shopping damage (whoops!¡) before we headed to Baby's All Right to catch a last minute set by Mothxr.

Goodbye Spring Break !(?)

Goodbye Spring Break! Or better yet, Spring Broke, because I managed the spend the little that I'd saved in two weeks on food, clothes and transportation in just 7 measly days! That being said, they were some of the funnest days I've had in the past month, and I'm so sad to see them go :(

Anywhere here's a recap of my lovely spring break:

Friday + Saturday:
Friday was easily the worstttttt day of the entire week, as I spent up to 12 hours traveling on a trip that should only take 4-5 and to make matters worst, I seem to have an affinity to getting stuck seated next to the sole person complaining the entirety of the train ride. *Le Sigh* I of course spent most of Saturday sleeping in and rejuvenating myself, so that I'd be prepared for the mayhem and havoc that I'd wreak in the following days.

Sunday + Monday:
Sunday started off bright and early (and warm!!!!) with a concert to see Drowners with Celine and Nicole. They were performing for kids and the concert was probably the cutest thing I'd witnessed this entire year!

Hung about Williamsburg for the day, had amazing food from a restaurant I can't remember the name of, and took too many photos.

Ended the night grabbing dinner at our fave place~~

Monday involved running errands, and then shopping with Kat, and of course we spent hours in Sephora.

Tuesday:
Proved to be uneventful, did my break homework (sort of, whoops!)

Wednesday + Thursday + Friday:
On Wednesday, I went shopping with Christina!! Which meant lots of time spent in soho. Then we grabbed dinner at one of my favorite mac&cheese places (S'mac) and proceeded to send terrible terrible photos of each other to Kaitlyn, Jill and Ari (none of which can be disclosed...)

Thursday consisted of a missed opportunity to see Joy (i'm sorry Joy!) and actually doing the homework I was meant to do 2 days before.

Friday was spent mostly out. Slept in late, woke up and got ready for the day, went to the city to do some last minute make up shopping, before heading to Times Square to meet up with Josephine. We checked off Shake Shack from my cravings list and ended up spending more time than we planned. After that, I took her to the bar to meet up with Nicole, Kim and Celine, (plus more friends), and as I wait to use the bathroom, guess who bloody walks out (???) fcking Jake Bugg. Obviously all composure was kept (until I went in the bathroom) but he's so lovely, and cute, and he walked out and then went back and held the door open for me and when I said thank you he smiled, so clearly he's a proper gent!

Then we hung about and I ended up having to leave at midnight to go pack, but not before my glorious 'post no bill' selfie!

All in all, a wonderful spring break was had, and the weather was decent, and I cannot waitttttt for summer to arrive!

Tell me about how you spent your spring break, or how you're planning to (so I can live vicariously through ya) in the comments below!

Traffic Lines || Trying Times (Kaitlyn & Ari in NYC)

DAY 1:

So, as many of my tumblr followers know, Kaitlyn and Ari finally came to visit NYC! It's sort of a big deal because hello, I'm uniting with my best friend here! Either way the stars (and traffic) were against us all day. The twins, Christina, Katrina and I had essentially planned the entire day out perfectly, but kept running into issues that kept pushing us back on time. In the end Kaitlyn and Ari's bus didn't arrive until 4 hours after expected, so we had to cut down our hangout time by half. We of course has to visit Topshop!

L to R: Ari, Katrina, Christina, Kaitlyn

After topshop, we went into several boutiques along soho before they closed, and then grabbed dinner at yummy Soho Park! That concludes day one.

DAY 2:

Day two was probably more tragic that the first, because this time I was the one caught in subway traffic, thanks to investigations and bad weather. In the end, I only got to see Kaitlyn and Ari for about 15 minutes before they had to leave to catch their bus out of the city, but it was 15 minutes more with my best friend so who can complain! We did end up seeing Adrian Grenier from that show Entourage while we were in the mall.

Christina and I ended up braving the cold winter day in the city, spending a better part of it in Topshop dressing rooms and mini pizzerias. Also apparently Santa Con was happening!

Here's a group photo of the 5 of us from night one :)
