{Copenhagen} Burning gold

Coat: She Inside, Vest: Line, Top: A+Ro, Jeans: Goldsign , Shoes: 80%20, Bag: Mango

Spending time in this beautiful city really makes me just want to stay and never go back to New York. ( I could do another week here...maybe make my way to Berlin?) After visiting the Ecco showroom and watching Natalie try to sew a heart onto a piece of leather (haha so funny) I decided to wander around a bit. So glad I packed my wool jacket, already has that worn in sorta feel and large enough for me to layer oversized vest. My 7th grade style has been haunting me...been wearing tight long sleeve shirts under practically any and everything.

So many more photos and experiences to share with you. Working with Ecco has ben such a nice experience I feel like a part of a huge family!

Top: random store in Amsterdam, Dress: Cynthia Vincent (smilar), Pink Blouse: Lucca Couture, Coat: She inside, Necklace, JewelMint, bag: Rebecca Minkoff, shoes: Ecco

Decided to go bare..the weather was sorta permitting and I also figured that layering cropped black shirts over anything really works. This Cynthia Vincent dress is strait off the racks from Summer 2012, could not wait till may to wear this so I made sure to pack it with me. Along with my new JewelMint

necklace that gives me a chocker effect when tied too tight.

Natalie and I decided to venture around on our own walking around just the two of us checking out the canals. This is such a beautiful city full of small winding streets and bikes...so many bikes! We joked about wanting to get some bikes and ride around, but never actually got a chance to do so, maybe next time.

A day in Amsterdam

2012-01-29T22:18:00.001-08:00

Coat: She Inside, Jeans: Big Star, Cardi: Cynthia Vincent, Top: Edun, Shoes: Ecco, Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

After a super short flight Natalie and I have finally arrived in Amsterdam! So excited to be here working with Ecco. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. I tried downloading an app to help me with easy words I could say to people...but I'm not very good at remembering them. Haha. The peeps from Ecco took us on a walking tour, which consisted of just fun mindless walking down different streets. You all know my love for mindless walking, so I loved every minute of it, even if it is pretty chilly.

I ended up being super touristy and bought a very tacky red light inspired mug for my dad, and then walked into a pole (don't ask i don't know how) and broke the handle....craft time.

We walked around for hours and even after all that my feet felt amazing! Tomorrow we leave for Copenhagen for the Ecco "Walk in Style". I can't believe I'm leaving Amsterdam already!!

More photos are coming, in the meantime you guys should follow me on Twitter and Tumblr for randoms!

Jacket: Zara (similar-ish), Shirt: American Apparel (similar), Pants: Hudson, Watch: La Mer Collections, Turquoise ring: JewelMint, Sunglasses: Guess, Bag: R&Em, Scarf: Gap, booties: DV

Wore my fury Zara coat and hudson jeans in Soho the other day while out with Shaun Savage. Most of our days consist of just hanging out and roaming the streets which in some cases I see can be quite boring, but there is just something about mindless walking that really makes me happy. I've found so many cool shops by accident! And have had the best conversations just walking and talking...

I've added a new piece to my jewelry collection. A new ring from JewelMint. It's funny cause I'ver never been a huge fan of this sort of design, but since this year I've been all about trying new things...I wanted to give it a shot...and in case you are wondering I love it.

Now, I don't know if any of you follow me on Twitter....but....if you haven't already then I highly suggest you do....

Anyways if you DO follow me then you'll know that I'm going to have a new roommate.

At the moment I live with my friend Selena and my brother Philip Charles. Philip is moving back home by the end of this month and then back to Biarritz. Bonnie will be moving in and I couldn't be more excited!

I've always been so obsessed with bracelets. The bigger and stacked the better. I'm really loving this vintage inspired piece from JewelMint, Pretty much fits with most everything in my closet. I'll being wearing a JewelMint style everyday for the next week stay tuned for more.

In love with the scallop detailing on these DV shorts, a serious go to short for when I'm home. This past week has seriously been crazy busy!! I leave for Copenhagen and Amsterdam on Friday with Natalie! SO stoked right now. It's going to be amazing, hoping to get as much visiting done as possible. And maybe even meet up with Ines. Fashion Week will be just about starting in NY when I get back, so except a little lack in post although i shall be updating when abroad.

Top: Day Dreamer, Flannel: vintage (similar), Jeans: JamesJeans, Sunnies: Guess

It's been such a long week that I thought I'd reward myself with some sunglasses. I picked out these two pairs from Guess. Simple aviators are the best! I haven't had the change to wear them out yet, but was inspired with a more laid back look. I've been stealing my brothers flannels, over sized, rolled up sleeves and a lose shoulder T...perfection with extreme comfort.

Planning on packing these glasses for my trip to Copenhagen along with an assortment of turtle necks...been looking at the weather forecast and snow is happening!

I now have Instagram!!! You can follow me HERE & follow me on Twitter while ya at it.

Only the beginning.

Jacket: Vintage (similar) or (similar), Sweater: Edun, Skirt: Asos, shoes: Tory Burch, Bag: Rebecca Minkoff

Wore a vintage coat and worn in Tory Burch loafers while going out for lunch with Selena (my roommate) and friends. I hate talking about the weather over and over again, but it truly has gotten super cold here in NY. Defiantly not good for taking photos and trying to look sorta "cute".

Weirdly enough I find tights a better source of warmth over jeans and leggings, and doubling up is even better.

At Fanelli's with Natalie

While in a panic looking for my camera charger I found an undeveloped film camera from late September. I really love the excitement of not knowing what I took.

The only good thing about not being able to feel your fingers is wearing this jacket....

I just got my iphone and have already taken an unhealthy amount of pictures, downloaded apps that I do not need and playing Family Feud...

I wore a Poleci top and Free People pants the other day in Union Square with Shaun.

I have some super exciting news..I leave for Copenhagen & Amsterdam next week with Natalie! Can not wait to explore and take full advantage! My friend Ines from Biarritz who now lives in Berlin is planning on coming and meeting me, so many fun things are in store.

2012-01-16T06:20:00.000-08:00

Dress: Juicy Couture, Jacket: Gar-De, Boots: Kelsi Dagger, Watch: La Mer Collections

I find myself only wearing the same La Mer watch almost ever single day, just mildly obsessed with the infinitive amount of time I can wrap it around my wrist and it's snakeskin print. This oversized watch was a piece I wasn't sure so sure about, but found that rose gold can also compliment just about anything. Though not a normal outfit to wear on casting and auditions I spent my mornings auditioning in this dress. Today I have a call back that I have not actually studied for...on it NOW!

Now on a different note:

See the boots in the last photo? Well I'm giving them away!

{Free People} Cut it out

2012-01-13T07:14:00.000-08:00

Vest: FP, Tank: FP, Shorts: FP, Boots: Dr. Martens, Hat: FP

I'm hoping this is not the last of the pictures from my Free People visit! I want to go back to Philly already! I've been having day dreams of this delicious French restaurant we went to that night. It was simply great and is the only French place I like so far...I can be so weird when it comes to French cooking in the states or the US version of the baguette, c'mon no one does it quite like the French, but I must admit i've tasted some good dishes here and there...but still. (I think this is just my "baaaah I miss Biarritz side coming out") Because I'm sure there are amazing places, but have not tried them yet!

With that all being said I find this post quite amusing.

I was immediately drawn to the vintage flag scarf. It's something I would most definitely hang on the wall of my room or hallway. Use it when it's deathly cold outside and wrap my head up twice. I've always wanted a vintage flag to hang somewhere. When I lived in Paris my dad hung up a HUGE American Flag in our hallway (covered the whole wall)...it was the most obnoxious thing and so out of place since my mom decorated the apartment so nicely, I'm guessing she allowed him one spot in the whole house and Dad chose the area you see first when you walk in....God I love my dad. haha

Dress: Laundry by Shello Segal, Watch: La Mer Collections

Wore a simple blue petal dress while relaxing at home. I suppose I have a sort of thing for lace dresses. This blue piece is a new favorite of mine. I love the sleeve detail..a slight puffy sleeve, with a sort of Jane Birkin vibe. Jane is one of my absolute favorites when it comes to style icons. I technically don't really have a style icon, but if I had to chose someone I suppose it would be Jane Birkin. Other than that I feed off of music and moods. Whatever happens to come on my shuffle in the morning or a Pandora playlist.

Recently just got an Iphone. I love my Blackberry, but I suppose after doing the Iphone commercial I became slightly obsessed. Shaun has one and I'm always stealing it to play fruit ninja. I'm sure I'll be tweeting way more often (not like I don't already...but you know) Oh and Instagram I'll sooooo be on that! you can follow me here

Been weirdly into animal prints...but like real form animal prints. This bunny skirt is super cute. I'm actually not crazy about rabbits in real life. I'm allergic to them and I also have a sort of little fear, I just can't helping thinking that they are going to bite me. So a picture of them on my skirt is quite enough.

Jacket: F21, Dress: Topshop, Hat: Vintage, Tights: Hue

Getting more and more usage out of this super old peter pan collar dress I picked up at Topshop a year a ago. One of the only dresses I wear on a regular basis.

Many of you have asked on my tumblr if I could do a makeup post / step by step. I tried to do one yesterday, but my camera kept shutting off and basically just wouldn't function! I haven't given up. I'll try to have one up and running by the end of this week. In the mean-time let me know what you would like to see more of here. I'd love to hear your input!

(everything but hair post, i'm getting ready to do another one...so anything else?)

Also if you visit my tumblr I do morning post of what I look like when I just wake up so you can see my hair and shiiizzz.

Tried meeting up with some friends for lunch at Vanessa's dumpling New Years morning. We wanted to start the New Year right with some cheap ass delicious chinese food....We ended up missing them cause they didn't own a cell phone and came too late.. oh well next year!

After telling myself over and over again that I don't need any more fur jackets I caved and bought another one haha. I have a serious problem. I don't think that any jacket can replace my leather /fur Gar-De coat....but still it's a dame nice piece. And may I add it's vintage and was on sale...and faux! (gotta love the faux).

Decided to spend some more time home this week...which was cut a tad bit short, since now i'm back in the city...the cold cold city. Buur!! I can't take this weather. I picked up an amazing faux fur jacket just last week a couple blocks from my house, that's been keeping me very warm. I actually used it as a blanket/pillow yesterday afternoon when I passed out on my couch waiting for my brother to get home from kindergarden.

Monday in a new year

Jacket: F21 (similar) Dress: Sara Suruzi, Necklace: Vanessa Mooney, Boots: Zara (similar), Scarf: Gift from reader (similar), Purse: Rebecca Minkoff

Ah to be in the city on a nice cool brisk day...I swear this is not very New York weather although gloves would of helped since my hands were a little frizzing when roaming the streets yesterday. Two friends of mine from france came to visit me and the beautiful city I live in. We spent the morning literally just walking around going into stores we thought looked interesting and drinking coffee all while talking about how much we more or less missed France. I miss it way to much, all my friends and the beaches. I can't wait to go back this summer and just relax and party...a party might be in order upon my return.

This Forever 21 jacket is the first thing i'd grab if ever there were a house fire (knock-on-wood)...Its been with me for over two years and has held up insanely well and might I add that it's such a great faux leather, I think I might get compliments on this piece almost every time I wear it.

As you can see I've been keeping my hair strait these days. I'm so envious on how easy it is to maintain! And wish It was't so damaging to do every other week. You strait haired girls really have it made. I use to have to wear a silly bandana to bed (sometimes I still do) otherwise my hair would be out of control and would get so jealous when my other friends would wake up and look perfect after one hand thru hair movement.

I now love my hair but enjoy the change from time to time.

Dress: Edun, top: Free People, Hat: Vintage (similar)

There is something very comforting about wearing all black and just roaming thru the old abandon duck farms near my home. My town on Long Island is so small I like to joke around and say it's a 3 min drive to get to from one end to another. I picked out this Edun dress online and feel in love with how simple and high the crew of the neck was. I'd been looking for a tightish black dress to randomly layer with sweaters and i'm guessing mess sequins.

My room is my most favorite part of me. I'm a huge collector, of all things...I love vintage jewelry small metal boxes...dainty perfumes my mother is still the only one who knows exactly what I like and to this day gets me all my perfume. I could never throw away the letters I get from my best friends in France or the pasta necklace Pierce made me in Pre-K. My closet is jammed and hardly ever neat...I'm not the neatest person, sometimes I feel like I need a little chaos in order to see clearly.

Happy New Year !
