Hannah and I spent some time outside F.I.T. today. They had their first day of classes today and both Hannah and I were quite sad to not be joining them all. I’m wearing a vintage lace top, Forever 21 dress-made-skirt, Minnetonka moccasins, and assorted Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, and Lucky Brand necklaces. Photos by Hannah.
What I wore today: Gap t-shirt, Funk & Standard top, Sevens jeans, Keds, and vintage bag from Paris. Experimenting with stripes on stripes. The striped/lace shirt is one of those things that you buy, never wear because you don’t know what to wear it with, and then realize how to wear it a year later! So. I figured out how to wear this a few weeks ago (by layering).

Yeeeeah my birthday was on Friday! The 13th. Consequently, it was pretty much the worst day of my life not actually that bad in retrospect. There was a lot of stress goin’ around but it’s sort of resolved now. I wore a Forever 21 tank & sweater, American Apparel bra that I’m OBSESSED with (the whole point of the outfit was being able to wear the bra, it’s fine), vintage WWII army shorts à la my generous friend Colin, and shoes from Paris. After school we had a coffeehouse at my school, then my family took me to see Bridesmaids which was GENIUS and crazy amazing. Then we ate cake & opened presents at 1 a.m., when it wasn’t even my birthday anymore. I got a buttload of coffee table books that I’m in love with, a Marc by Marc Jacobs scarf that I’m even more in love with, the new Fleet Foxes album, a book of poems by Maya Angelou, and lots of other awesome stuff that I’m super grateful for. As for a party, I had a bunch of friends over for tea on Sunday. Pictures from that to follow!
Gigglin’ and showin’ my bra. NBD.

Champs-Elysees. Fashion heaven part two.
The gardens at Versailles. Were gorgeous. That is all.
Ohhhhai that’s me. Target scarf, Gap shirt, Zara pants (literally perfection), thrifted shoes.
That’s me! That’s Georgia! At the Eiffel Tower! Gifted scarf, Danskin leo, Zara pants.
The view of Notre Dame from a boat tour on the Seine. Beauty everywhere.

Today I wore my Easel tie-dye vest (gifted), H&M tee, Forever 21 tank, Gap jeans, and Minnetonka moccasins. I don’t have much to say about this outfit other than it was very summer & camp inspired. I kind of regretted wearing short sleeves (it was cold today, gah) but I dealt with it. This shirt kind of comes out as a crop-top sometimes, so in an effort to not flash my tummy to everyone I stuck on these semi-high-waisted jeans and the tank top, which I put under/over/with basically everything. Best $16 every spent.

Have I mentioned that Woodstock (and Jimi) inspire everything I do? Greeeeat.
So today was Hipster/Flannel Friday, although it was mostly Flannel Friday. Flannel Friday is much more official and much more fun, while Hipster Friday just means you have to try really, really hard to be as artsy and anti-mainstream-anything as possible. Today’s outfit was an attempt to do both, while also making Flannel Friday more interesting than just flannel and jeans. I wore a Victoria’s Secret (I know, I know) flannel, Heritage 1981 tee, Target skirt, DKNY ripped tights (hipster-ness part 1), random socks that I pulled up all throughout the day to maintain the look I was going for (hipster-ness part two), and of course my trusty Target boots. (Disclaimer: I promise I own other shoes, it just happens that these go with everything and keep me warm and don’t get ruined by snow.)
Also, tonight I’m going with friends to a Battle of the Bands thing. My friend’s band is playing so we’re going to support her and just generally dance a lot. I’ll take pictures and get ’em up here at some point! I thought this outfit was appropriately complementary to the 90s grunge feel any mention of a Battle of the Bands has. You know, with the flannel and ripped tights and boots that were made for stomping and whatnot.
(Georgia tried to get me to recreate a moment of happiness in which I went to get Girl Scout cookies. It didn’t work.)
This is the other Urban Renewal grandpa-sweater-skirt that I got with Hannah. I wore it with a Proenza Schouler for Target cardigan, Forever 21 tee, DKNY tights and Target boots. I love this skirt because not only does it look like a Navajo blanket, but it also seems like something Veronica would wear on that crazy ski trip she and Betty went on once. Because, ya know, it’s so incredibly impractical in general, just like her!
More outfit pictures from my adventures with Hannah in Greenwich Village. By the way, these were taken in front of Tiles for America at Mulry Square. It was super awesome and basically this a fence covered in America themed tiles. I believe it was started in memory of 9/11. Anyway, Hannah and I saw it and had a super blogging-inspired moment and decided to take photos. Specifically, these photos. Gettin’ cosmic.
This weekend was crazy amazing, mostly because I got to see my best friend from F.I.T. and fellow blogger Hannah. We had a bunch of crazy adventures running around the city. We met up on the High Line then headed uptown for dinner at Kellari, which was basically the best Greek food I’ve ever had ever. The next day we had “very French” breakfasts at AQ Kafé (café au lait = total obsession) and went to Greenwich Village for flea market-ing! We then walked up to Union Square, taking street style photos along the way, and did some shopping in Urban Outfitters.
In the first photo I’m wearing a random leotard from 6th grade (leotards = other new obsession), Marc by Marc Jacobs vest-thing found at the Barney’s sale a few years ago, vintage army shorts from WWII, DKNY tights, Target boots. In the second photo I’m wearing a Solemio sweater with the same shorts, tights, and boots. (More photos of the 2nd outfit to come!)
Tomorrow is my good friend’s birthday so today we went out to dinner to celebrate! I wore a BDG thrifted cardigan, Gap shirt, Target boots, Turkish earrings that I bought outside the Met aaaaand a brand new skirt from Urban Outfitters which I’m in love with. Hannah and I went shopping today and found a rack of these skirts in the sale area. They’re made of grandpa sweaterish material and really comfy and warm. I bought two because I was so in love with them!
