Feels Like Home

This outfit is what I wore traveling home on the train for Thanksgiving. I've been been loving these pants all fall, the fact that they're super high waisted works with a lot of my wardrobe, and I've enjoyed having a pair of black jeans again. I've been wanting to do a stereotypical Parisian outfit for awhile especially since we're getting closer to the end of the year and the brief reprieve from freezing weather was the perfect opportunity (though it did promptly snow the next day). I'm studying abroad next semester and the first stop is Paris. The fact that I already have my ticket and everything is so surreal considering I've wanted to go to paris since I was a little girl. 

Here's to dreams becoming goals and ultimately achieving them.

The snow on Thanksgiving Day 

Those Little High Waisted Shorts

The universe seems to be against me taking pictures anywhere outside of this bed. I wore this outfit with some sheer tights earlier, intending to take picture out in the city, but that morning they ripped and continued to get runs in them through out the day. Guess we'll have to make due. 

I find this outfit so simple and cute. The sweater is easily the best thing I bought this summer. It's thin, but the softness of it beats anything I have in my closet. I break out these shorts every time I decide to be cute for the day. Unfortunately, they're super old and I haven't found anything similar to them in H&M, but there are a few on ModCloth's site that I've been eyeing. 

I hope your luck this week is much better than mine.

A Bit of Fall in the City

A lot of my trips to the city this semester have been for school projects and I'm usually alone,leaving me with now outfit pictures, so I decided to share some pictures of Fall and some from Halloween night. I promise I'll return with regular posts soon.

Until then, enjoy!

I went to The Brooklyn Night Bazaar on Halloween (like a harvest fest, only indoors) I had a lot of fun dancing and messing around. Any place where I can dance to hits from the 80's and 90's, play arcade games, and eat pie gets a thumbs up from me.

Mini-golf

My Keyboard (I was dressed up as Gene from Bob's Burgers) also I won mini-golf :)

Apple Pie from Daly Pie - SUPER delicious 

Fall Coat

Dressed in : Coat - Zara, Sweater - Forever21, Lipgloss - Nars in Rouge Tribal 

Despite Mother Nature's attempts to push 70 degrees this week, it is definitely Fall and that means layers. Back in the Summer, when I was planning out what I wanted buy for the school year I decided I needed to expand my coat collection. I really only had one real coat (the winter one I featured last year). Beyond that I just had typical, plain fleece jackets, and some coats I stole from my mom or brother whenever it rained. Clearly, stylish coats were not in my wardrobe. I figured a Fall coat would be a good place to start. I purchased this coat during Summer Zara Sale (that event deserves italics). I loved it because it seemed very functional. I've been too terrified of cute coats having no warming capabilities to buy one previously, but the quilting and structure on this one is similar to ones you'll find at an average department store. 

First and foremost, this coat keeps me warm. No matter how much I try, that always ends up being the most important feature in a coat, and this one totally does the job. Zara has many beautiful coats, which I am guilty of lovingly gazing at from time to time when I'm suppose to be studying, but I was drawn to this one because of the leather detailing. The shoulder and elbow patches reminded me of items from Tommy Hilfiger that I've admired in the past. The shape is quite nice and flattering as well, but the kicker for me is the hood hidden in the collar. It can be easily tucked away or pulled out depending on the weather, and the hood is a great size. There is nothing worse than a short, half-assed hood that is useless when I'm caught in the rain without an umbrella. Unfortunately, I do have one aspect of the jacket that I dislike and that is the pockets. Because of the prominent zipper and the fact that they're horizontal I end up scratching my hand every time I try and keep my hands warm. Gloves are required. All and all, it's a great coat that will be worn until the snow starts to fall. 

Stay warm.
