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.

Back to Business

With the summer comes lots of promises of stuff that we say we'll do, but never actually get around to... like reading that new book, or watching all 9 seasons of some show, or updating your blog. ¡yikes! However, now that works come to an end and I've just finished the annual week-long roadtrip with my best friends, it's probably best that I return to this realm of my life.

The humid weather in NYC calls for nothing but drapey clothing to keep you cool in the far-and-few-inbetween breeze.

Photography Work

I've recently had this blog on the back burner because I was focusing on getting some of my newer photography (and video art) work onto a blog as well. Currently you can check out those works at the tumblr devipenny.tumblr.com

Once June starts my fellow style blogger pals are all coming to NYC so expect loads of outfits to start popping up. Sorry again for the lack of posting pals.

Suburban Grunge

Been shooting for a project, and overall for updating my portfolio. Called for a lazy day grungey look, in a flannel and hole-y tank top. Stumbled upon this tiny suburban neighborhood that was so out of place that I had to come back and take some shots of my roommate here. Some of the outtakes are below.

Palo Alto'd

When on the go, (especially at really early hours of the morning!) you just don't want to lug around a massive DSLR camera. Thankfully the iphone 5s has superb ootd photo quality. Snapped a few photos of my outfit throughout my busy morning.

Homecoming

Finally back home in NYC and I, of course, spent one of my first days out with Christina, catching up, grabbing lunch, and of course shopping.

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!

BULLIES

With Spring Break drawing to an end, I spent my last day in NYC doing a bit of makeup shopping, grabbing a bite at Shake Shack with Josephine, before heading down to meet up with Nicole and Celine! I couldn't help myself, and broke out another neglected varsity style bomber jacket to keep me warm in the breezy weather!

Stepping Into Spring

So far my spring break has proven (against everyone's belief) to be a fairly warm one! I'm so happy!!! The weather happened to be in the 50s today, so I ditched the hat and scarf, and traded in the parka and boots for my vintage bomber jacket (from 2nd grade haha) and my long-lusted-for Chanel espadrilles.

Spent the afternoon finishing some work, hanging with my mum and brother, before heading to the city to see the lovely Katrina (and spend endless amounts in Sephora) ((Whoops?))

I hope the warm weather is to stay! Makes me never want to leave NYC again. (Syra-what??) I don't think I can handle going back to below zero temps!

Well, until the next time, (and until the spring break haul video), enjoy the spring weather!

I Wear Cheetah Print (Cause I Run This)

Heyy Everyone! How's it going?

Been a long time since I've gotten the chance to properly blog, and January being a lousy month for me isn't a valid excuse. School has been hectic, and I'm super bummed about missing #NYFW and my friends, but I decided to have my own personal #SUFW (hahaha) and kicked it off with all grey get-up and a statement jacket!
