NYFW Day 1

Tank c/o StyleMint, Skirt Maje, Heels Givenchy, Purse Vintage Chanel, Sunglasses Dior, Lipstick NARS "Heat Wave"

BCBG was my first show for fashion week.

It actually was my first show, ever.

It was such an overwhelming and exciting feeling

and I couldn't believe I was actually there.

If you would have told me a year and a half ago that I would be going

to NYFW I never would have believed you.

I decided to pair my new favorite Maje skirt with a simple grey

tank since the weather was unbearably hot. I can't wait to pair it with sweaters

and tights here in SF.

Sherbet Stripes & A Night in Florence

Dress Anthropologie, Heels Givenchy, Purse Miu Miu, Necklace Kate Spade NY (It says "Mrs" and was a gift from my sister)

For our third night in Florence, Thomas and went to the rooftop bar at one of our hotels 

(the boutique hotel we stayed at was part of four hotels) for drinks before dinner.

The two photos over-looking florence were taken there, where we have a 360 degree 

view of the city. If you are looking for a great spot to go before dinner, definitely look up

The Sky Bar at the Continental. 

We then headed to dinner at 4 Leoni (recommended by a reader)

and it was probably one of our favorite restaurants in Italy!

It was by far the least expensive dinner we went to and had the best 

wine and ravioli. Ah, I'm dreaming of it still....!

Leather & Stripes

Top c/o Fifteen Twenty, Leather Shorts Rag & Bone, Jean Jacket Gap, Purse Balenciaga, Heels Givency, Aviators Ray Ban, Lipstick YSL

My weekend wear is always casual and includes some sort of stripes.
Thomas and I are spending the rest of our evening planning out
details for our honeymoon to Italy.
Any last minute suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

Dressed Down

Shirt c/o StyleMint, Skirt Zara (last summer), Jean Jacket Gap, Necklaces F21, Purse Balenciaga, Heels Givenchy

I like to add t-shirts to some of my more feminine skirts
(sometimes over dresses) to make them more casual.
Doubling up necklaces is also an easy way to make one big
statement piece, rather going out and buying something new.
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July yesterday! I sure did :)

Collar Added

 Dress Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony, Sweater Aritzia, Necklace Forever21 and c/o Stella & Dot, Heels Givenchy (60% off!), Bag Balenciaga 

I have been wanting a detachable collar for a while, but didn't want to 

pay a lot since I wasn't sure if I would wear it much. I quickly jumped

on this one from Forever21 since the price was great...and boy, am I glad I did!

I have always been a big fan of collared tops and blouses, so now I can add one 

to all my dresses, sweaters and shirts that don't have one!

I especially love the look of a T-shirt paired with a collar.

It's a great way to transition a simple tee.

I also really love these collars: one, two, three, four, five.

Cherry Red

Dress TopShop (sold out, but same style here, here and here), Heels Givenchy, Purse Coach Classics, Necklace c/o Stella & Dot, Sunnies Ray Ban

Thomas and I are still in the process of moving, but I slipped on my new

cherry dress from TopShop for a sweet little trip to get dessert...

With a cherry on top ;)

Details

Dress Anthropologie (on sale!), Heels Givenchy, Purse Stella McCartney, Bracelets Stella & Dot

I fell in love with the details in this dress and it was on sale...so it came home

with me! It's so comfy and lightweight, the perfect dress to just throw on and go.

It has so much detail in it that no jewelry was really necessary.

Basics

Blazer Helmut Lang (similar styles here and here), T shirt Gap, Jeans c/o Karen Kane, Purse Coach, Heels Givenchy, Bracelets c/o Stella & Dot (here and here), Sunnies Ray Ban

After seeing this blazer on Alicia, I was determined to find it. Luckily, it was still on the 

Helmut Lang website and with some of my graduation money, I was able to get it!

It was definitely a big splurge, but it is a staple piece that I will have in my closet forever.

It will definitely come in handy when Thomas and I move to San Francisco in a 

couple weeks, since it's pretty chilly year round.
