Long time no post!

So I'm bad at posting regularly, I apologize. In the past month, I've since moved to NYC to attend graduate school. I'm already loving the fashion I see on the streets here. People aren't afraid to take risks. They wear whatever they feel like, even if it appears straight off the runway.
I also love that depending on where in Manhattan you are, the style is different. If you're on the south end, near Wall Street and Battery Park, office attire reigns, for obvious reason. At Union Square and East Village, it's all indie free spirit attire. Upper east side, brand names. I live on the UWS, and I've yet to see an actual style here ... maybe as the weeks go by, I'll see something more definitive.
Today, I went to go run errands and shop a bit. I scored these Ray-Ban G-15 aviators for $40. They go for $130 everywhere else.

Also got a coat for the winter time (have been looking for a cute and warm one for awhile, so I was happy to finally find one!) from Miss Sixty, and a birthday present for a friend. And on the way home, I stopped by Crumbs for a vanilla cupcake with chocolate cream cheese filling, topped with cream cheese frosting and chocolate ganache. Delish.

The Uniform Project

So, so sorry for the posting hiatus! I've been swamped with trips to Hawaii, new jobs, graduation and all that fun stuff.
Here's my latest find:

This girl is wearing the same black dress every day for 365 days and mixing it up by wearing different accessories.

The nicest thing

This little video is so mushy and gushy and lovey and dovey and drippy and droppy, but it's also pretty cute.

JT + SNL = always a good time

I love it when I find something expensive that I paid significantly less for

...such as this cardigan.

This Vince sweater is currently on sale for $235. When I first saw the picture, I had to do a double take because it's almost completely identical to my Limited cardigan I got a couple months ago for, oh, $20 was it?

Anna Sui at Target!

Anna Sui, known for her crazy out-there looks that have a tinge of au natural and boho to them, is coming to Target on Sept. 13! It just sucks that by Sept. 13, I'll be living in a state that doesn't have Target :(.

I have two items from Anna Sui, both of which are kind of craaaaazy -- one is an orange and purple silk blouse that wildly besmatters orange floral prints with purple stripes. It's kind of an insane shirt, and not one that I've dared wear in public yet. The other is a coin purse made of a kind of grey taffeta fabric, pretty but still loud. It'll be interesting to see how she tones down her work for the mass markets, i.e. Target consumers.

Success!

So I found the perfect dress for my morning graduation. It's Fumblin Foe, and I found it on sale at Dillard's today. Here's the front:

And here's the back (except in white, obviously):

I'm thinking I'll spice it up with my black wide belt with the gold buckle that I got about a month ago from Banana Republic, and wear it with black heels.

Now, just have to find dress No. 3 :)
