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 ;)

Bryant Park

Free People dress, Dolce Vita booties, Urban Outfitters bag, Topshop jacket, House of Harlow 1960 necklace

Bryant Park is probably one of my most visited places in all of NYC, so I thought it would be the perfect spot to take some blog shots, as I was in the city on Saturday seeing the new Idina Menzel show If/Then (p.s. it was amazing!!). Whenever I go into the city I try to be as comfortable as possible, and while you might think this outfit doesn't scream comfort, it is actually one of the coziest looks I own. This Free People dress is essentially an oversized cotton sweater, and I could walk miles in these booties and my feet won't ache. Definitely one of my go to outfits to transition from winter to spring. Hope you are all having a great week:)

Dotted

Free People dress, LF cardigan, Dr. Martens boots, Urban Outfitters necklace, Madewell bobby pin, Tous ring

Two years later, and I am still in love with this dress (more of a shirt now?).  Let's just pretend for the sake of this post that it is in fact spring and that one nice day last week wasn't just a fluke and I'm not actually freezing in these photos. I think varsity jackets (/cardigans) are the perfect transitional piece between season, and this one is made out of a really soft sweater material. A dress, sweater, and booties equals one of my favorite outfit combos for spring, so I cannot wait to rock this the next few months. 

Hope you are having a great week:)

Floral and Lace

LF sweater, Free People jeans, Windsor booties, Lionette NY necklace, Urban Outfitters bag, Madewell sunglasses and bobby pin, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to shoot these on an actual patch of grass that emerged from the snow; I thought I would never see green again! This is one of my sort of go-to school outfits when I can't think of what to wear. Floral and lace are two of my favorite combos, and Free People makes the softest jeans.  I love that these have a cooler, more winter-y floral pattern than a typical spring floral. Hope you are all having a great week:)

BOOM

3.1 Phillip Lim for Target sweater and bag, Madewell coated jeans, Topshop rings and earrings, Ash sneakers

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:)

Snowpocalypse Inspiration

Hi there. I am here to talk about the unrelenting snow that has happened upon New York. We have had too many snow storms to count this winter and as I am typing this there is over a foot on the ground from monday and yesterday's storm, with another one coming  on sunday. I have had four snow days from school, including the one I am having right now and not including the one I will probably have next week.  

And while I love days off of schools as much as the next girl, let me tell you, despite it's prettyness and stuff, it is really freaking hard to take blog pictures in the snow.  First of all, I can pretty much only wear Dr. Martens boots in this weather, which further limits my wardrobe and restricts the variety of outfit posts available for me.  Few sidewalks, backyards, fields, etc. are accessible to shoot in, and the blinding white of the snow reflects awkwardly in shots.  Because of these issues, I though I would return to a little series that I quite enjoy writing. 

Every now and again I like to be witty here on this blog.  I have written two apocalypse-related inspiration posts in the past, the first being at the end of 2012, when "the world ended", and the second being in summer 2013, when the heat was almost unbearable.  And now, in the middle of my love-hate relationship with never-ending snow, I present the third installment: What To Do To During The Snowpocalypse.  Enjoy some tumblr inspiration, and you can follow my tumblr here.   

Daydream about being this girl.  Because you're probably freezing right now.

Wear all white to blend in to your surroundings.  Maybe the snow will accept you as one of their own.

Most of your body heat escapes from your head, so wear a beanie. 

Get some sunglasses.  You need protection from the blinding white snow.

Drink plenty of hot liquids to ensure your body temperature remains normal.

Your chairs are probably feeling a bit chilled as well, so make sure to warm them up with jackets and fur.

You're stuck in the house; might as well get some work done. 

You're probably bored out of your mind (I know I am), so get some reading done.  I suggest John Green.

Light some candles because like I said earlier, you're probably freaking freezing. 

Escape to a city.  They trap heat due to the Heat Island Effect (shout out to my science teacher) and are likely to be a few degrees warmer than the suburbs. 

Grow your hair out as long as possible for extra warmth.

Backpacks are an essential for any apocalypse.

Find a cute boy with a big jacket and cuddle with him (purely for warmth of course).  Here we have Finn and Jack Harries looking irresistible. 

Wear lots of black makeup to represent your current mood.

If possible, just stay in bed all day. 

These conditions call for sweatpants and sweaters. 

Pretty sure Dr. Martens are the only shoes I own that can be worn outside in the current conditions.  I suggest investing in a pair.

So there you have it; everything you will need to eat, wear, and do in order to survive the winter 2014 apocalypse: the snowstorm.  Personally, I kind of like this weather, but I know most of you are probably wishing you were in Australia on summer break right now, so I hope you enjoyed these little tips for staying warm. 

Enjoy the snow;)
