I recently snagged this hat at Urban Jungle for a mere $10! I'm obsessed. I wear it anytime I don't feel like doing my hair. The shoes below were an ebay adventure all their own. I'm not big on ebay, but when I saw brand-new Rachel Antonoff for Bass Wendy loafers online for $50 (originally $129!), I knew I had to try. I originally bid on the brown versions, foolishly assuming them were mine since I was the only bidder. I was outbid. Then these lovely black and white versions popped up and I watched that sale like a hawk and bid at the last minute. It was like a New Year's Eve countdown. I was paranoid I'd be outbid up until the last second, but I stayed the one and only bidder. It was kind of amazing.

What I Wore To Hang With My Mom
I'm wearing my new lipstick, Stila in "Fiery Red." It's pretty good in terms of lasting color and I like how matte it is, but it's a tad drying. That's easily remedied with some chapstick though!
Sorry for the bad quality of these!

What I Wore To Work
I look so bundled up and excited for fall/winter!
Cape: Beacon's Closet; Scarf, Earrings, Bag: Vintage; Shoes: Bass; Tights: Hue; Skirt: Express; Top: Second-hand. I got this necklace/collar at the flea market not too long ago, but I'm still figuring out how to wear it. It's a pretty amazing piece that I scored for $10! It'll dress up any plain jane shirt.
Sad Saddle Shoe Face
These pink saddle shoes and I had some good times. Unfortunately, I ending up having to send them back. After only wearing them a few times, they ending up breaking. I'm super into Bass shoes and their characteristically amazing quality, but the shiny cover on these Bass Loves Rachel Antonoffs ending up splitting after only a few wears. You can't see the damage here, but the top cover, supposedly not meant to bend with a foot, split open. I'm super bummed that I no longer own pink saddle shoes. If anybody knows where to get some...please let me know! I'm still coveting a million other Bass Loves Rachel Antonoff shoes, but am wary to buy them. I think it's just the Odette style that is troublesome though so I've decided to move on to a new pair...the wonderfully red Wendybirds!
What I Wore To Work
I just started working part-time at a start-up company called Clothia. This what I wore on my first day. The first words from my boss's mouth were "You look so Pan Am!" Score. If I don't look like a 60's stewardess, I probably need to rethink my outfit. Watch out for this awesome company to launch soon. If you're into fashion, you'll totally be into this website!

What I Wore On A Beautiful Fall Day
Bright Lights, Big City!
I was pretty excited for it to finally be cold enough for my new kitty sweater! I will soon regret saying those words as soon as NYC hits a time when sweaters is the only thing one can wear. On a side note, I think you'll start seeing more of this bouffant-y hair-do. It's so easy to do in the morning and makes me feel more polished than my normal "don't feel like like doing my hair" bun.
Sweater: Vintage, Skirt: Express, Shoes: Bass, Tights: Hue, Bag: Gucci, Sunglasses: Ray Ban, Shirt: $1 at thrift store.


I met up with my friend Jason to see the adorable Emmy the Great at a free CMJ show in Williamsburg. In between her and Sarah Jaffe, the next gal I wanted to see, Jason and I had brunch at the always delicious Lovin' Cup (get the tots!), went to one of my favorite thrift stores, Urban Jungle, and headed to a mini park I'd never been to in Williamsburg. On the way to the park, we past this adorable graffiti that I just had to get a picture with!
The view from the park was pretty amazing and the park itself, as tiny as it is, was super nice. The leaves were turning colors and we caught the view at the perfect sunset moment.
On the way back to the main street, I discovered another part of Williamsburg I'd never known about: this amazing artists and fleas flea market!
I met a man with lots of hats and the most adorable logo I've ever seen (above), but alas I have not yet found my Pan Am blue pillbox hat. I'll probably be making something out of construction paper the night before Halloween.
Overall, I had quite a splendid Saturday!
What I Wore To Work
Skirt, Shoes, Belt, Shirt: Vintage, Shoes: Bass, Earrings: Tiffany & Co.
I took a break from the petticoat for one day, but then I wanted to show it to my co-workers so here is another petticoat wearing day. So far, it hasn't gotten old! I'm running out of bell-shaped dresses though and I don't want to keep using this same skirt. Does that just mean I need to buy more? ha Oh the funny thing about this top is that it's actually a dress I got for my birthday, but it was way too short. My best friend had the genius idea of using it as a shirt and I have ever since (amazing story huh?). The explanation for the in the moment photo below is that my roommate was telling me about her day while I took the pictures so here I am she's telling me that they sent some photo shoot items at Opening Ceremony to one of my favorite stylish ladies, Carey Mulligan! I think I had just said "coool!" and remembered to smile for the picture. =)
Fancy-coat wearing lady. Normally I don't think I look very good in non-smiling photos, but I decided to give it a try. I feel a bit like Cruella Deville for some reason. I used a new setting on the camera these past couple of times. I like the way it brings out the lights a bit more.
Cheeese!
What I Wore To A CMJ Show
Scarf: Vintage, Sweater: Gap, Tights: Hue, Shoes: Bass Loves Rachel Antonoff, Skirt: Express, Shirt: American Apparall. Wow..this is one the few outfits I've worn where almost nothing is vintage.
Side note on the beautiful shoes: The front shiny part has cracked open since the few times I've worn them. Usually Bass shoes are amazing, but I was really disappointed in these, which I had splurged on.
What I Wore To Go Thrifting
Guess who finally got a tri-pod and learned how to use a self-timer? (Me!). I also finally got the zipper fixed on this dress after it sat sadly in my room for far too long. It goes perfectly with my new Bass Loves Rachel Antonoff shoes! The fullness in the skirt is due to my fabulous new petticoat that I just bought from one of my favorite flea markets, Mary Help of Christian Church Flea Market. I wore it out as soon as I got it and will probably be wearing it every day now! I also nabbed this perfect traveling hat box. Now I just need to somewhere to go..
What I Wore To Work
Most of what I'm wearing is vintage, except for the shoes, which are my good ole Bass loafers. I think I was subconsciously channeling Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday that day. I have been wanting to re-watch that movie lately..
What I Wore To DJ BUST Craftacular/Maker Faire
Please pick up this newest issue of BUST! I wrote the fashionista column on Poni Silver of The Ettes and a book review in the back!
