These photos were taken quite a few months ago. My boyfriend's sister came into town and was staying at this amazing hotel right in midtown. The view was incredible. I thought, what better opportunity than to take photos of an outfit? I decided to wear something with a glamorous and sexy feel, while maintaining an edge. I absolutely love mesh so I paired my mesh skirt with my dress that has a mesh back (sadly I did not get a photo with the back exposed). Once again, most of my outfit is made up of thrifted garments excluding the harness made by Deandri and the jacket, which is from Romwe. 

This marble coffee table blew my mind. Something I plan to have in my future apartment.

Welcoming a New Year

           

I am so excited for 2016. This January will mark a full year of being here in NYC. It has been a crazy one, but not as turbulent as I expected. I've met so many new people and started so many new projects. I can't wait to see what this new year will bring. Now that I know the city a little more, I plan on really putting myself out there and escaping my comfort zone even further. 

I bought this dress off of Sheinside. Isn't it amazing? I haven't had much of a budget to splurge on a fancy new years dress, but I still wanted something that would stand out, but still look elegant. Unfortunately the fishnets I'm wearing are quite torn, even though I just bought them! But you know what? I kind of like the rundown look. I feel a little too out of place if I dress up too much. Anyway here are some more photos, taken by wonderfully patient boyfriend:

If you like this look, give it a hype!

Geometric Daze

This is what my typical look is, especially if I have a long day ahead of me. I love these shorts I got from a shop on St. Marks in Manhattan. They are so perfect. After I got them, I could not stop wearing them. Of course, I am always wearing my leather jacket and platform boots. Since it was pretty windy that day, I decided to use a shaw of mine as a scarf. Gave a look of more layers and really helped bring everything together.  

Shorts: Tripp NYC

Everything else: Thrifted

I meant to post these a while back, but life got in the way so I just recently was able to retouch them. These were taken at Sleepy Hallow cemetery. This white lace dress has to be one of my favorites and I regret not wearing it as often as I'd like to. I found it at a thrift shop in Atlanta about a year ago. It fits perfectly! And not only that, but is super comfortable and very warm. Making it the perfect winter dress. The socks are from Urban Outfitters. As much as I try to avoid shopping at places like UO, I will say that they have the best selection of socks. My boots are from another thrift shop. I love how they have a Victorian era feel to them. In fact, I would say this whole outfit is inspired by that era.
