t-shirt-ed

A breezy day calls for a breezy t-shirt. I rarely wear t-shirts, but I love this one cause is made of linen. I have a few of these linen shirts in different colors from Alternative Apparel & I couldn't love them more. They are the perfect weight for that effortlessly cool fit I am always looking for in a tee.

all green everything

As always, I have a current obsession, and no, it's not with THAT mint green acne sweater. It's a much darker version of the hue. It's a range really from pea green to dark moss to hunter green. I want it in everything- shorts, belts, shoes, etc.

Green Dream in Givenchy

I believe it started with Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy's Spring 2012 Menswear collection. The largely white collection was filled with t-shirts, kilts, leggings, sweatshirts & baseball caps. But the collection really shined with its symmetrical, kaleidoscope-y birds of paradise print in moss green with streaks of hot pink, purple & blue.

polka dot-ed

As New York's weather gets more unpredictable, you have to relish the gorgeous days when you can. These Diesel cropped khaki's are the perfect answer to that could-be-pre-mature shorts weather.

fire escape-ed





[Thrifted rust button-up, thrifted green pullover, Levi's khaki denim, ASOS double belt, Cole Haan boots, Timex x J. Crew watch]

I'm not sure why, I haven't had a crew neck pullover in a long time. But I recently acquired two and have been dying to pull them out. Perfect for chilly Spring mornings!

As I was walking to work yesterday morning, a lady in her thirties gave me the up-down look as we walked towards each other and just as we were passing muttered "cute." I'm taking it! Spring is here and I'm celebrating with pastels.

collar bar-ed






[Oona's tweed coat, Vintage raccoon collar, Calvin Klein black button-up, BDG grey sweater, Levi's 510 black denim, UO black leather buck with blue soles, Vintage collar bar/clip/bracelet from the Brooklyn Flea, c/o Breil black leather strap watch with rose gold metal]

While my dear friend Emily was in town this weekend, we went to scour the Brooklyn Flea for some vintage finds. I had my eyes out for a collar bar after a Bollare intern, Megan, wore one a few weeks ago. I love that it is something that you just don't see being used in menswear anymore, much less menswear as womenswear (Meg- major swag points). Obviously, I went over board and got a few, along with this great industrial safety pin that feels like it was made for this tweed duster as a perfect closure. #fashiongoggled

color black-ed

I took advantage of a short weekend trip home for my Grandma's 80th birthday party to grab this sweater I haven't worn since high school. I always loved the colors in this sweater and now seems like the perfect time to revisit it's possibilities.
