I cannot believe Halloween has come and gone this year. Despite it being one of my favorite holidays, I kept it pretty chill this year. I am pretty sure the gross weather had a lot to do with it. I did dress up at school as a comic book character though, going all out on my makeup to perfect a comic book aesthetic. To end my week, I went to a party at the independent movie theatre: The Nightlight with my college bestie, Giselle. Assembling a last-minute costume, I created a dark-eyed, blood, red lips look combined with one of my many black dresses, to become a vampire. And lastly, I found this orange, velvet dress at Target. It was just too cute to pass up. It reminds me of a dress Ms. Frizzle would wear for Halloween; as a teacher I will happily embrace anything that gives me Ms. Frizzle whimsy vibes. The vibrant orange and bat pattern is just so fun! I paired this dress with my go-to leather jacket and some leather booties.

I had a blast finally shooting and exploring Akron with my newest photo friend, Lindsey Poy—check out some of her work here. 

As for a random life update: I know I've been MIA, but this quarter my priority has been getting acclimated to school. In the meantime, I somehow have created a ton of content waiting to be posted, so stay tuned! 

Hope you had a Happy Halloween! <3

Today I am wearing the perfect basic NYC outfit. Its simple, edgy, and great for spring on the Highline. I spent the afternoon enjoying the sunshine with my bestie Rachel, we went to a map making workshop which was so fun, and then enjoyed delicious empanadas for lunch. Yum!

I'm wearing another off the shoulder trend top... and I just cannot get enough! It is from Tobi!! The fact that it is a bodysuit is even better, because you don't need to keep tucking it in or messing around with it. One piece and done! It is ribbed and so comfy, I also love the amazing flare sleeves, that make you want to frolic and dance around all day! Secondly, i'm really excited about my jeans. I have been trying to find the perfect high rise busted knee jeans, and I found the perfect pair from Tobi as well. They are literally the softest jeans, they feel like leggings. I know I plan to wear them with everything!

I paired my two Tobi pieces with some great accessories. First I have a fabulous double choker from Free people. I love the embroidered gold, so beautiful. Next I have a pair of peep toe fringe booties from Just fab. The fringe on the side is such a fun detail, I love wearing them! All these pieces make perfect weekend wear staples. Hope you all are having a lovely weekend!

Can't complain, so far it's been decent weather December. In the past week it has become colder and more windy. Perfect for layering and fur! I have been loving the fur trend; coats and vests galore! 

Today's outfit is a perfect blend of comfy-cute and edgy-chic. I'm wearing an appliqué sheer sleeve top from free people. The sheer sleeves are just so pretty! My bottoms are mini herringbone printed lululemon tights. I layered this look with my Nasty Gal leather jacket and ebay fur vest for added warmed and edge. To finish the look I wore my Just Fab moto booties, Free People Lolita choker, and some Francesca studs. Lately its been my favorite to wear my hair half up and half down. I used to wear my hair like this all the time as a child and am glad to bring it back thanks to Ariana Grande for hair inspo, and envy. 

Overall a perfect outfit for a day of running around the city or lunch with your bestie!
