A Look Back at September

I started my sophomore year at NYU!

Here is what my face looked like on my first day of school :D

NYFW madness

Made some new friends at the StyleHaul creator party!

Hi guys!

Decided I wanted to do a little monthly roundup of some of my favorite Instagram shots from September, with some quick descriptions of what I did throughout the month! 

I had a crazy stressful but also really fulfilling month that included starting my sophomore year at college, fashion week, parties, traveling to Duke, and so much more. You can check out my Instagram @sophielewis423 for all of my latest pictures, but I hope I can continue doing this each month just to share a few tidbits of what I have been up to!

A day in Chelsea

Hi everyone!

So I have decided to just kinda post whatever I want on here.  And I want to start documenting my life a bit more, so I have little memories to look back on. I take lots of pictures all the time and I never really do anything with them, so I am going to start posting more of them on here.  I hate that I have neglected this blog so much and I am excited to just post a bunch of random stuff.  

So with that said, here are some random pictures of Chelsea from last month.  Chelsea is one of my favorite areas of the city, but its kind of annoying to get to from my dorm so I'm not there too often.  I was in Chelsea with my friend Cassidy last month visiting the offices of Tocca (which were right across from that of Balenciaga, so cool) to review their newest collection for the Washington Square News (NYU's student newspaper).  We walked around a bit afterward, and here are some cute shots from that.  People are always asking me on my YouTube channel to share more pictures of NYC, so hopefully you like this little set.  I can't wait to post more soon :)

I am actually a huge fan of the snow, but taking pictures in it is no easy feat.  Tomorrow I am off to Florida, so be prepared for a slew of blog pictures featuring palm trees, grass (I'm not even sure I remember what grass looks like at this point) and frilly dresses and sandals.  I'll likely be spending my time there stalking LFW runway shows instead of going to the beach, but at least I can do so lying by a pool instead of under the covers.  I'll be sure to report back on what temperatures in double digits feel like, as you've likely forgotten.  Have a great week:)

What I Wore: #NYFW

With fashion month in full swing, it seems appropriate to share with you what I wore to nyfw.  I only went to one event: a makeup press event for Birchbox held in Chelsea Market.  I was pretty disheartened to learn that there would be no Fashion's Night Out this year (I have gone to the last 3), but I am just as happy enjoying the chaos from behind my computer screen via live streams as when I am actually emersed in it (okay that may have been a lie to make myself feel better but can you blame me?).  

With school, I have been having a hard time keeping up with the shows, though twitter and instagram have certainly helped.  I noticed a big trend with black and white (which I am super excited for), colored lips (not really sure I can pull that off), low ponytails (definitely cannot pull that off), and cooky prints (I'll attempt).  One of my favorite shows so far has been Alexander Wang, but it could just be because of his adorable and super chic niece (google her if you haven't already).  Hopefully by next fashion week I will be a little less stressed with school and can go into the city a bit more! 

Anyway, I wore this look to the event, which was awesome by the way.  There was a bunch of makeup, hair, and nail stations set up, as well as candy, a photo booth, and a chance to make my own birch box with sample products.  I spotted some cool people outside of the event, and had a bit of a fangirl moment when I walked past Jenna Lyons.  

It was pretty hot out the day I went in (sunday), so I opted for a loose fitting dress that I impulsively got the day before at Bloomingdales.  These booties are actually two years old (oops) but they are still the most comfortable shoes I own, and comfort is (even if people won't admit it) sort of essential for surviving fashion week.  And no, I did not suddenly become competent at styling my hair and applying makeup; I had a hair cut the day before and I had my makeup done at the Stila counter at the Birchbox event! What is your go-to look for fashion week?

Enjoy the rest of fashion month!
