B&W OOTD

Madewell flannel, Free People jeans, Sam Edelman booties, Urban Outfitters bag and bobby pins, Michael Kors watch, Dannijo bracelet

I've found that since I have started living in NYC, I only wear black, white, and grey (gray? I don't think I'll never use the right one).  I try to wear color, but I find that the easiest way to get dressed is a lack of color head to toe.  So when I packed to come home for Thanksgiving, I literally didn't bring anything with color.  Not one thing.  Not sure how I feel about that yet but I have decided I am in love with this outfit.  The flannel is so comfy and and it is my new favorite thing.  I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving, and do let me know in the comments of my video what you would like to see me give away when I reach 1,000 subscribers ;)

Fall Lookbook 2014

My Fall Lookbook is finally here! I feel like I have been hyping this up for way too long but it's my first time doing this sort of video so I am pretty excited about it.  Big shoutout to my wonderful boyfriend Mitchell for filming this for me.  All of the outfit information can be found in the description on YouTube, and I hope you enjoy!

Dark Lips

Madewell sweater, LF skirt, Sam Edelman booties, August hat (from Bloomingdales), Dannijo bracelet, NYX Copenhagen on lips

Ah the return of The Dark Lip.  My family hates hit, my boyfriend hates it, but I think it's absolutely stunning.  I instantly feel edgier and more put together, and this one from NYX stays on all day long.  I continued the purple theme with this cool sweater from Madewell that has zippers on the side, a nice touch that allows it to be worn with my favorite leather skirt. This my fourth and final go-to outfit for fall, and that means my next blog post will feature my first ever fall lookbook video! See ya Tuesday ;)

NYC

Anthropologie top, Free People jeans, Sam Edelman booties, Madewell bag and bracelet, Urban Outfitters necklace

So, uh, hi. Hey there. Hello. What's up? How are you? Long time no blog. 

Just to catch you up since we last spoke, I now live in New York City. I live right near this park where these photos were taken. And they were taken by my lovely boyfriend when he came to visit me last weekend at school (I go to NYU by the way). For the last two months I have spent most of my time in the library, but I have also been working on my YouTube channel as much as I can while at school. So that's been my life (thrilling, I know), how are you doing?

This has been my go-to fall outfit the last few weeks, as it is freezing in the morning and insanely hot by the afternoon.  This is the first of four blog posts that will lead up to a super awesome lookbook video I'm working on, so I hope you guys are excited for that! I'll speak to you soon (I promise this time).

Back to School

Madewell top

Free People shorts

Topshop shoes

Rebecca Minkoff bag

Alex and Ani bracelets

Madewell necklace

Chloe sunglasses

I've literally been dreading writing this blog post because it is the last one I will write before heading back to school.  I am definitely one of those typical teenagers that absolutely hates going back to school and would rather be doing anything else.  But this year it's a bit different.  This year, I am starting college.  In three days I am moving to New York City and starting my first year at NYU.  That was a scary sentence.  Of course I'm excited, but I don't think I'm really going to let myself be too enthusiastic until everything has settled and I have gotten through my first week of classes.  I'm just too nervous! However, something that calms my nerves slightly is knowing what I will be wearing on the first day; one less thing to worry about. 

The first week of september is basically still the middle of summer so I've opted for shorts and an airy tank top.  These faux Birkenstocks are pretty much the most comfortable shoes in existence, perfect for my 10 minute walk from my dorm on Union Square to my classes on Washington Square Park.  And it is absolutely essential that I still feel like myself with all this change going on, so I've piled on the gold jewelry.  I also made a video on my back to school hair, makeup, and outfit that I've inserted above, or you can watch here! 

Wow writing this blog post hasn't calmed my nerves at all.  See you on the other side!

White Out

Madewell tee and long necklace

Helmut Lang jeans

Michael Kors wedges

3.1 Phillip Lim for Target bag

Nasty Gal safety pin necklace (similar here)

Topshop circle ring

Fun fact: whilst googling these jeans to try and find a link, I learned that they are actually called the "white wash cropped moto jeans". CROPPED. THESE JEANS ARE SLIGHTLY LONG ON ME. I found this quite a depressing thought. 

As far as shopping goes, there may be few things more exciting to me than Chelsea Market sample sales.  I was in NYC for the day last weekend with some friends and we absolutely adore Chelsea Market, and we became far too curious by the handfuls of women carrying Helmut Lang bags to not go and check out the sale.  The deals were absolutely insane.  Everything was hundreds of dollars off and I nearly started to drool.  These white jeans were an absolute steal for $70.  They are soft and clean and fitted and have zippers and pockets and my gosh I'm slightly in love with them.  They are just the best things.  They are currently on sale on the website (link above) so get them whilst you can!  

I am a big fan of either wearing loads of colors or none at all, so for this look I wanted to stick to my absolute favorites: black, white, and gold.  I love dressing up a plain tee and wearing all white makes me feel quite luxurious.  It feels like all I've been wearing lately is black, white, grey, and gold; I think I am embracing the simplicity of summer dressing and I love it. A lot. Do you?

#MONUMENTOUR

Topshop romper, Rachel Zoe sandals, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch, C Wonder bracelet, 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target bag, Madewell necklace, Topshop rings

I know it's been a while, but you will have to forgive me as I have been in Alaska and had zero internet connection for over a week.  But I am back now and I am super excited about this outfit post because I also made a "get ready with me" video for how I put together my makeup, hair, and outfit for this look.   This is what I wore to the Fall Out Boy and Paramore "Monumentour" concert (side note: it was insanely good), and I think this is the perfect outdoor concert look.  I was so super comfortable and was able to have the best time wearing this.  Rompers are one of my favorite pieces for summer, and I definitely recommend Topshop for the best ones.  If you want to see the video (which you should because I worked super hard on it and I am really happy with it!), you can watch it here.  It includes how I did my makeup and hair, as well as my outfit of the night and some concert footage. Enjoy!

Have a great weekend!

Animal Lover

Asos dress, 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target bag, B Brian Atwood espadrilles, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch, vintage bracelet from Chelsea Market in NYC, Banana Republic headband, Madewell necklace, Chloe sunglasses, Topshop rings

I feel like this dress is a really refreshing way of wearing animal print. I have never been the biggest fan of traditional animal print, but the animals represented on this dress are just adorable. It has some of my favorite animals: elephants, butterflies, penguins, and cheetahs! This dress is so super comfortable (just search "smock dress" on Asos for an abundance of them) that I have already ordered two more in the same exact style in different patterns. I think the shape and cotton material are perfect for summer, and I cannot wait to add to my smock dress collection. 

I hope you are all having a great week!

xo, Sophie

ps. I have prom this week so expect a very exciting post soon;) 

Short Story

Urban Outfitters tee and shorts, Jeffery Campbell sandals, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch, Topshop rings, Madewell sunnies and bobby pins

I'm going to stick to the title and keep this short; AP exams are currently happening, I'm exhausted, there is no way I can write a coherent blog post right now, and here is an outfit that I really enjoyed wearing!  First shorts of the season, which is making me so excited. Hope you are all doing well:)

Aruba Outfit Diary

Credit to my bestie Rachel who was on the trip with me for these amazing photographs, love you and miss you<3

Outfit 1: Free People dress, Levi's vest, Madewell shoes and necklace, Urban Outfitters bag, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch

Outfit 2: Urban Outfitters top and shorts, Francesca's cardigan, Bauble Bar necklace, Fuji polaroid camera, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch, Topshop ring

Outfit 3: Free People dress, Mango shoes, Urban Outfitters bag, Michael Kors watch, C Wonder bracelet, Tiffany & Co. ring

Outfit 4: Madewell top, shorts, and shoes, Michael Kors watch, C Wonder bracelet, Dannijo bracelet

Outfit 5 (my favorite): Mink Pink Romper, Mango shoes, Urban Outfitters bag, Bauble Bar necklace, Topshop ring, Flea Market bracelet 

Woah not even sure I remember how to write one of these things.  As you may have noticed (because I know you are all very observant), I was in Aruba last week for spring break, hence the lack of posting/social media interaction/general stalker internet presence. I was planning on posting a full Aruba Photo Diary post, but the majority of my time there was spent doing water activities, and because I'm super smart I didn't bring a waterproof camera, so my thrilling adventures of tubing, snorkeling, jet skiing, and general spring break craziness must be left to your imagination. I had the most amazing trip and I'm devastated that I won't be able to go next year because of university. C'est la vie, first world problems, blah blah blah. 

Anyway, here are some of the outfits I wore on my nights out on my trip. I wasn't able to shoot all of them as the weather there was a bit crazy and sometimes the wind was too extreme for a clear shot. Editing these photos made me overly excited for summer fashion though. I have decided that I need to invest in approximately 50 more rompers because this one from Mink Pink is my new favorite thing ever. What are you excited to wear for summer? 

Hope you are all having a great week!
