Black and Brown

October 25, 2021



If you haven't added a pair of knee-high boots to your fall/winter wardrobe-- what are you waiting for? I'm pretty late to the knee-high boots game myself because I got my first pair only just last year. You might have seen me style a few outfits from summer through fall with my black suede boots, but I'm excited to add these brown croc ones to my collection too. I especially love the versatility of knee-high boots for the fall because you can rock them with midi dresses layered under cozy knits, or even tuck in some trousers for a more utilitarian look. Here I'm just going for a simple black dress and a structured black blazer for some form and topping it off with this brown pair of boots that's the perfect fall statement.

Boxy Cardigan

I'll be the first to admit that cardigans were never my favorite type of sweaters until very recently. Personally, I've always loved throwing a jumper over 2 layers of heat-tech when the temperature drops- but I've grown to see the appeal of a cozy cardigan thrown over pretty much all of the tank tops I've slowly acquired all through quarantine times.

This fall, I've been seeing quite a few interesting cardis that I feel like work well with all types of styles. I'm wearing a beige one from &OtherStories with a monochromatic outfit above for reference, but I'm definitely eyeing some more statement ones too. Below are some of the ones that are on my fall/winter 2021 watch list, and some are even included in the Shopbop 'STYLE EVENT' Sale that's taking place this week from 10/11-10/14.

As a summer baby, pretty sure I can say that summer sure does live forever (well, especially if it's in this form as a dress). I got this Aje number last summer when I was in Tokyo, and wore it out to one of the best meals I could've had during the times we were living in. Fast forward pretty much a year later, and I'm prancing around my new stomping ground in Valladolid, Spain.

You guys aren't new to this by now, but I'm a sucker for re-wearing and styling pieces that I carefully add to my wardrobe, and I love that they feel fresh when adapted to the season I'm dressing for or the places I'm currently living in. I'm slowly getting adjusted to living in a small town coming from cities like New York and Tokyo. I can't wait to share more of my style changes in the upcoming months.

Have been meaning to share this post with you guys for a few weeks now, but getting adjusted and taking every minute and second to be present does get you carried away. What can I say, time flies when you're having fun/living?

Before leaving for Spain, I had a short staycation in the city with my little sister. Coincidentally, it was the peak of summer and that allowed me to wear all of the summer clothes that I was afraid I might not get to when I get into Madrid and the temperatures would quickly drop. I picked up this darling ruffle top that I've been eyeing from a brand that I've been stalking for years called Shushu/Tong. And ironically, while trying to get a few photos of this outfit outside, my sister and I couldn't handle the heat for longer than 15minutes, and that's why these photos were literally on the side table of our hotel room instead- but you get the idea right? Monochromatic, high-waisted, and a darling pair of beige flats. Pretty much everything that I've tried and true, just with some updated twists. Excited to move on from the New York style photos after this post and share a few new things from Spain.

If there's one fashion rule that I'll always be happy to break, it's wearing white after Labor Day. Until this point, I still have no idea where this rule arrived from- but even without trying to be a rebel or anything- I will gravitate to not just the color but full monochromatic creams and other shades of whites throughout the entire year.

We're well into September now, and I know I've been a bit behind on keeping up with the blog - but with a dress as seasonless as the Merlette Soliman Dress, I think you guys will forgive me right? As lovely and flowy as this dress is in white, I have to say that it does make for a very risky dress on a windier day (something I don't see many online reviews of this dress addressed). The thin fabric also makes it a bit see-through on super sunny days (but this is forgiving since there's so much fabric draping around). Dressing up a piece like this for Spring and Fall is quite effortless- an oversized cardigan or leather jacket would do, so it's a piece you'll see me wearing often from here on out.

Scandinavian Barn Airbnb, Germantown, New York

August 25, 2021

Making up for lost time, earlier this summer, me and two of my closest girlfriends decided to take a trip upstate to spend a little 'R and R' time together. We came across this stunning Airbnb listing in Germantown with stunning decor and a beautiful view of the Catskill. Right then and there, we quickly made our reservation and were off to the trip a couple of weeks later.

We booked the property for a 3-days and 2-nights stay, which was just the perfect amount of time. As always, I was the one out of all of us to overpacked for a weekend getaway because I bought 3 different summer dresses and 2 other casual outfits that I totally didn't even get to wear. By now, I'm sure you're all familiar with how much I love linen- so true to myself, I repeated two of these Sleeper dresses back to back.

On the first day, the girls and I spent most of our time making a big lunch, tanning, and we even set up a little picnic by the dock that also was part of the location. I didn't get a good photo of me in this swimsuit I bought specifically for this girl's trip, but I think regardless of where you're going in the summer, packing one never hurts! Later that evening, I threw on this lemon yellow dress for the picnic with the most darling sleeves (they also came in handy for protecting my arms from mosquito bites- we are all city girls after all).

I saved my most versatile dress for the last day. I love how this one easily looks like it could pass for loungewear, but better, and still appropriate for going out. I spent the morning making some coffee for the girls in this lovely kitchen while they were off on a morning run. This kitchen and the view was absolute bliss and I now dream of having one that faces such a view sometime in my life.

The weekend flew by really quickly and though this post is much shorter than my usual travel recaps, it goes to show how disconnected from my phone and camera I was and I was fully present and enjoying my time with my girls in the most beautiful place. For a recap in motion, see this.
