Here I am about a week and a half ago next to my new dining room table! Well at least that's what it was at the time. This preppy outfit was just about all I could squeeze out of my meager closet during the height of my moving period which thankfully is just about over and then the settling period can begin.

It's important to know that I'm a sucker for matching outfit sets, so finding this two piece at H&M in December was a no-regrets buy. Actually, I usually hate H&M. The clothing looks better on the rack than it does on you and everything feels as though it's made out of plastic. I'd like to think of myself as the kind of girl who if I wanted to wear plastic, I'd just wear plastic. I was surprised to find this set was real wool. That means it has a lower chance of falling apart six months down the road!

I must add as well, that in true H&M style, the size 2 skirt fir me just as well as the size 10 top. You heard me. Till next time, America.

These are some of the last photos taken at my old place. That's right folks, I've finally moved downtown and I'm very excited about it even though it meant giving up my big pink cake box room. I'll just have to paint up a new pink room and I plan to very soon!



If you've been wondering where I've been for the past couple weeks, you now know that I've been packing things up, carrying heavy boxes, and doing other not-so-glamorous things like wearing jeans and making a mess. Life is beginning to come back together again though and hopefully my new downtown life will be three times as fun as my uptown one.

This was an outfit I wore right before moving to a fancy but early party in a midtown artist studio. I bought myself this Moschino dress as a birthday present in November with no regrets! It's a gorgeous piece. This outfit felt a bit "waiting for Spring" with all the soft colors. It was still warm out when I took these and today there is snow on the ground. Spring must be a long way off...

Headscarf and stole are vintage. Dress is Moschino. Shoes are alberta Ferretti. Lipstick is OCC Lip Tar in Electric Grandma.

I've been busy this year but I've made sure to take plenty of time to be festive. Even when running errands. I'm obsessed with these vintage wool pants. I usually wear them with a more fitting outfit but I chose to go a slouchier route this day with my BOY X LONG shirt.

I'm still waiting for a real snow. For now little bits blow in and out. Once it falls for real though, I wont be able to wear these shoes!

My friend has been practicing pin curls on me, hence the drag hair. I'm loving the curls for December! If you want a set of your own, book with Angelica Vargas at Sahag Workshop in NYC. The gradient looks perfect don't you think?

I hope you are all having a cozy and lovely Christmas full of cookies, and cakes, and roasted things. New toys and gifts and red lips and glitter and friends and magic!

Going xmas card supply shopping requires an especially whimsical outfit. I went with green fur and the dress that matches my hair and my new Moschino flats which are mauve and incredibly precious. Wearing expensive shoes changes the way you walk around town. I made sure to step extra carefully to ensure my shoes remained unscuffed.

They say NYC is incredibly judgmental of peoples shoes. Its actually made me begin to judge peoples shoes more often– mostly on the subway where I have time to focus on meaningless things like that. I hope that people are focusing on these shoes on the subway. If I'm gonna be judged it better be while wearing Moschino.

Hat and dress are vintage. Coat is Blanc Noir. Shoes are Moschino.
