MORE FROM NYC & THE MANDARIN ORIENTAL

MORE FROM NYC & THE MANDARIN ORIENTAL

This picture brings back wonderful memories. This was at the Mandarin Oriental's beautiful restaurant Asiate, where my boyfriend and I were treated to the best food of our lives! The view from our corner table overlooking Central park was breathtaking. I'm so grateful to have had that experience-I'll never forget it!

I was given a tour of the Mandarin Oriental's presidential suite–just look at the bathroom! The suite dwarves my apartment and the view was something not to be believed.



We did some touristy things this time too–the Natural History Museum was so much fun!

 

Romeo the long haired Chihuahua was my favorite thing I saw in New York. His dad was so proud to show him off! Haha…so cute.

CHEAP THRILLS

CHEAP THRILLS

I found this skirt in the kids section at Target and had to get it–very Isabel Marant, right? You never know what you'll find! Worn with a Madewell belt and a thrifted sweatshirt I cut up.

LEATHER & ROSE

LEATHER & ROSE

Pearl snap button downs and leather shorts…that's an easy recipe that even a lazy dresser like me can follow.

Vintage western rose shirt found in Tulsa, AllSaints leather shorts, black ankle boots by Marsell, and Rugby double prong men's belt.

Fun fact…we found a pair of underwear and a whole entire dog bed floating in a creek when we shot this. Must have been our lucky day.

NEW YORK MINUTE

NEW YORK MINUTE

Above is my favorite snapshot I got in New York–poor babies are all tuckered out. I am too after a whirlwind trip! Here are some Instagrams from the trip, so happy to see so many friends!

We were so fortunate to be hosted by the Mandarin Oriental in New York. What a spectacular view we had!

We were treated to a chef's tasting at the beautiful Asiate restaraunt in the Mandarin Oriental. It was certainly the highlight of the trip, if not the highlight of my life ;) You cannot believe the food we had! I will post more pictures soon.



When I said these were my favorite jeans, I wasn't kidding. I wore them 5 days out of 6. The cap toe pumps are from Schutz! I also got my new favorite pair of shoes from Schutz. More cap-toe perfection below.

Suede black and white cap toe ankle boots! That's what I've been dreaming of. I'll post more of these and of the Schutz opening soon :)

With my beloved Aimee before the Schutz opening <3 ;)

I finally met the Beckerman Bite Plate sisters!! We have been Instagram friends for so long, I feel like I've known them forever! I love the Beckerman family!!

I
jumped for joy when I saw these girls!! I wish I could do IRL with my
internet friends all the time. Andy and Nicolette are the best.

One of the highlights of the trip was when I got to DJ the ASOS Rewardstyle party on Saturday night. Here I am with Leigh Lezark who DJed after me and Amber of Rewardstyle. So great to meet so many bloggers that night!! I will be posting a mix of what I played soon–keep your eyes peeled.

FAVORITE JEANS EVER

FAVORITE JEANS EVER

A lot of people have been asking me on Instagram what the jeans I've been wearing in New York are. They are Rag & Bone 'The Dre' cropped mid-rise skinny jeans. They are my ideal pair of jeans! A classic faded wash, perfect whiskering, straight leg, not stretchy, and with big belt loops. They run true to size.

I wore this to the Schutz opening–can't wait to share more photos with you! I'm headed over there now to get more pictures of the New York collection. Check back soon!

Worn with a Zara sweater, a Rugby men's belt, and Schutz shoes.

NEW FAVORITE BASIC

NEW FAVORITE BASIC

I have just arrived in New York and planned most of my outfits around my new favorite basic–a big sloppy sweatshirt with the sleeves cut off.  Went to Salvation Army and picked up a few sweatshirts to do this to. In day to day life I pretty much wear jeans and tees every day, glad I have these to switch up my lazy outfit repertoire!
Worn with an ASOS pencil skirt, a RRL d-ring belt borrowed from my mom, a Rugby hat, and Marsell ankle boots.

 

Can’t wait to share more of New York!! I am so excited to be here for while.

SCARLET HEART

SCARLET HEART

Been wanting to shoot this Norma Kamali jacket for ages! It's very early Norma Kamali, it even has a metal zipper.  Worn with ASOS patent hot pants, Herff Christiansen tank top, and black glitter Giuseppe Zanotti boots borrowed from my mom.
