Fa Hairstyle

...unless I have a really stylish umbrella!One thing I kind of love about NYC is that when it rains everyone seems to break out the black umbrella it's like part of some kind of New Yorker uniform. Then suddenly in the sea of black you'll catch a glimpse of someone's brightly colored, patterned umbrella and it instantly makes me smile.It's been raining for days in New England with no end in

Well you can't see it in these pictures but my hair has gone from unrully to just plain ridiculous. I haven't had time to get in  a proper appointment at a salon like I've been planning on doing for the past...what's it been two, three weeks now? but fear not I scheduled one in for next weekend. This top knot has been my go-to one too many times these past few weeks. I haven't been to see a professional in a very long while as some you you will remember this story that changed my whole outlook on professional haircutting. The reason why I now feel like I need to get it done  "expertly" is because i'm trying to let it all grow out to normal status {as in, not rockstar hair} for my sister's wedding in June. I still haven't dyed it, bringing that count up to 6 months now. I've got some pretty gnarly roots growing in but I'm hoping that a proper cut can rectify that situation. I can safely say that my whole fringe is now 100 % my original ...

As you can probably guess, it's raining in New York. I had to resort to taking pictures indoors and was thinking to myself, now how can I make these look decent? I used picnik to edit them which I NEVER do. The pictures you see when i'm outdoors are never edited or touched up. Now that I say that, maybe I should probably stop being lazy and actually pay attention to these details. Well, this jacket is one of my beloved Mayle pieces. I don't think I'll ever be able to give it up as it's such a classic jacket. It's funny that I don't wear it more often. You'd think that something so classic would find its way into my style blog more often. Oh, I've been updating my blog shop this week and will continue to do so. Make sure you check it out as items seem to sell out fast. (I'm not just saying this). Outfit: jacket}Mayle jeans}Cheap Monday boots}Dexter (thrifted via Beacon's)

I hope you don't mind my indoor shots because you're going to be seeing alot of it this week. New York is expecting rain all week as I think most of the states are. I'm not really minding it though since it lifts all of the humidity and I can actually walk to the subway without sweating my butt off. When I mentioned this to some lady in the elevator who was complaining aboutthe rain she called me a "glass half full" person. I guess I sometimes am. I've been meaning to wear this super cute chambray shirtdress for a while but it's been way too hot to wear until now. I got it from the vintage shop Miskabelle and couldn't be happier with it. I mean, look at this fit. How perfect is it with no alterations needed, not even a shorter hem! I love the wood buttons and the puff sleeves. Obviously I was playing off the cowboy/girly by pairing it with a neckerchief and my brown boots. Oh yes, Fall is right around the corner. The shop is run by a sister duo who hav...

It's been raining non stop here for 2 days. I'm really hoping that we get some dry time tomorrow and Friday so that I can go back to my usual outdoor outfit pics. But for now, you'll have to make do with these. My outfit consists of a silk skirt that i've had for a while now but seldom wear because I find it a little fancy. I wanted something grey or neutral (not black) and could only find this so I tried to make it work. I downplayed it by adding a printed scarf around the waist then re-belting it with the original skinny belt it came with. Quite a bright idea if you ask me.Paired with a plain white tee (not the band,tee hee) and a denim jacket also makes this look alot more casual. Right? The braids are actually done using my clip-in extensions. I ended up going with the A.Wang side braid in the end but these were fun for the morning at least. Oh and finally a little detail shot of my fave accessories. The silver ring is from mimi & marge, sample sale, a few years...

Before you start disecting my outfit with a microscopic lens, no, I am NOT wearing anything inside out as my post title suggests. It is referring to my morning outfit pictures. I did my usual routine of snapping my pics outside in my backyard. Once I got in I proceeded to grab my coat, hat and change into my boots since the weather is pretty disgusting (and will be all weekend...nooooooo!!!!!). Once I was just about ready to head out the door I decided that this "Outerwear" outfit was just too good NOT to document. Honestly, it usually doesn't turn out this way. So here are the sequence of pictures Inside AND Out. First off, we have my indoor outfit taken outdoors. I did not wear these shoes or attempt to as my job absolutely does NOT require heels of this caliber (ever). I wore them because, well to tell you the truth, would you look at how long my legs appear!!!?? Honestly, if I had ankles of steel and balance like a tightrope walker I'd sport these babies everyday....
