Pretty Tough








Top- F21, Jacket- SuperTrash, Headband- DIY, Bag- Zara, Flats- Express

*Sigh*... two days in NY away from Long Island was almost a vacation for me.  I got to meet up with Tiffany after my photo shoot for dinner at Cafeteria to be the true food critic of their supposed "best mac and cheese".  I give it 4 out of 5 stars haha.. 

Afterwards I spent the night at Christina and Bonnie's for movie night were Christina made I am Legend way more scary for me by screaming every time a zombie appeared. And we somehow watched the alternate ending but was much more satisfying then the ending we are all used to. 

--Day two in NY-- I stole Bonnie's floral headband for the day which was a nice touch of innocence to my black and leather outfit.  Bonnie, Christina and I grabbed tea and coffee from Saturdays Surf and then walked around shopping. I got a really cool pair of studded jeans from Urban and we also went halloween wig shopping.  I  picked out a blonde bob wig, not exactly sure what my costume is going to be yet but I knew it had to involve the complete opposite of my natural hair.  Thinking of maybe a vintage bunny, cat woman, or maybe a Russian spy... hmmmm.....

Fall in Love Into Fall with Haute Hippie

Recently I stopped into a Haute Hippie store in Southampton and couldn't help but in love with their fall collection.  My favorite item for this Fall are printed pants, especially these floral faded jeans by Haute Hippe.  I love the rich floral pattern... perfect with boots and a flowing top.

Not to mention the beautiful sequin pieces, animal skull graphic tops, and knitted sweaters perfect for wrapping up in for this Fall.  The season has just begun and I am already turning up the heat, time to grab a sweater like one of these -- burrrr

"All blogs post the same stuff"


I really respect her for wearing this. I feel like my style is always different.  When I'm choosing my outfit for the day, if I feel a little more "bad ass" then I'm going to wear destroyed denim shorts, sheer knee highs and leather boots or jacket.  And if I'm feeling preppy-glam, then I'll wear something like a high waist pencil skirt, sequin top, arm candy, and rings on every finger.

I've come across blogs overtime that have excellent photographs and styling... But aren't recognized for it as they should, because they do not fit into a "category".  Your personal style should show your feelings and your likes.  Not necessarily whats currently in or whats the newest.  I feel there is a lot of pressure on fashion bloggers to always have whats new, when not every blogger have the funds for it.
 
I always want my blog to be true to myself and my readers.  I would never post something for the sake of being approved because everyone seems to fancy it.  I purchase what I like and I wear what style I feel at that moment. Everyday is different for me whether it be grungy, classic, girly, sophisticated, sexy, rocker, or boho, etc. 

A little flashback... Before I was even a teen I would lay out my magazines on my bedroom floor at the end of each month and snip, snip, snip. I cut out everything that I loved, and would create different looks and pasted them into notebooks.  Now, between my blog and my tumblr I do the same thing.  I post photos of my daily style, or post/reblog photos, videos, or music.  Based on how I'm feeling, what I like, and whats inspiring me.  From a notebook on my bedside table has now moved to a national webpage, blogger and tumblr.  Live for anyone in any country to enjoy, or even to hate.  And I'm fine with that.  I don't want my blog to be about numbers, and followers.  Its one big public journal for me.  Containing myself, likes, adventures, inspirations, and laughs that I want anyone to enjoy as well.
