New New

Sweet sunshine!

On my daily commute to and from work I pass an H&M and most days I walk right past. One day I happen in and find this jacket. Last in my size, and I'm in love!




H&M jacket, Joe Fresh shirt, traded jeans, Steven by Steve Madden shoes
This quilting is amazing! I kinda feel like my granny quilted a snatch of fabric and then fashioned it into this super cute jacket. I may rip out the tags and tell my as yet unborn daughter that this is exactly what happened. Folks don't have heirlooms anymore, gotta make your own!

Come Again Another Day

Spring has sprung in NYC and that means it's raining all the time. *sigh*

Holister jacket, Brook Brothers shirt, Old Navy skirt, Gap brooch, Hunter boots

In real life I hate rain boots. They're hot, they bend awkwardly at the ankle, and usually ruin an outfit. Unfortunately in a city where your feet are your main source of transportation you most definitely  want to keep them dry. So I styled my outfit around the darned things and I felt pretty good. I did spend the day on my feet and they aren't made for standing, (add that to the list of things I don't like about them) but each time I ventured outside I had dry warm toesies! 





Soon the rainy spring will be over and the hot, humid hell-ish season that New Yorkers call summer will set in and anything more than a paper towel around your lady parts will be too many clothes.  Ahhhh sweet summer. Till next time!
