Hey everyone! As you may (or maybe not) noticed, its been quite some time since I posted regularly. Reason one, as I’ve touched on before, I’ve been completely uninspired as everyone becomes from time to time. Reason 2, I’ve been throwing any and all inspiration at my miniature dream: jewelry designer/maker. Marlene Talley Jewelry … More Launching Marlene Talley Jewelry
Guy Fieri would be proud. I had a lot of artery-clogging food today. Big Daddy’s on the Upper West Side is where its at. I LOVE diner food. As always, trips to the Highline are accompanied by bubble tea. How long until I get the luxury apartment I deserve? Someone give me my big break… … More Diners, Highlines, and Dives
Snow. I really, really thought I would love snow. I don’t. Snow here is beautiful until it gets mixed with mud and dog crap that people suddenly think they don’t have to pick up anymore. At least my boots are rubber… It is gorgeous though. Coat: Goodwill (similar-ish), Tank: Similar, Jeans: American Eagle, Boots: Target, … More Snowy City Day
A few weeks ago, I, along with approximately 400,000 other people, walked the streets of NYC to protest the appointment of a certain (as Busta Rhymes so wonderfully put it) “President Agent Orange” and his proposed immigration laws, health care reform, and the defunding of Planned Parenthood.
I. Went. Out.
Like any great weekend, it all started with pizza.
Last week my company had its office Holiday party at Lugo Cocina in Manhattan. The spirits were a plenty (Diet Coke too!!), both the liquid and holiday kinds.
When the normcore movement began, I knew I’d never want to let go.
Without the fan-fare of a new school year, I have to wait for a new season to have an excuse to shop. As it has gotten colder here I’ve come to realize… I don’t have anything. 2 black sweaters, a grey one, and one winter coat. Crap. I also took the time to throw out all … More F/W Wish List
Like any other Saturday, I spent my day searching for food and peering at expensive clothing I don’t have the means to buy.
I had been wanting fringe jeans FOREVER but I’m one of the worst D.I.Y.ers around.
It’s Fall, ya’ll. And you know me. I only want to wear sweaters when it’s 80 degrees out and I want to have my arms and legs out when it’s 70 and below, only want Chik Fil A on Sundays… you get the picture.
So New York Fashion Week is well under way here in the city and I’m experiencing hella FOMO as I go about my everyday life.
Sure, it’s almost Labor Day. That means many of you are getting the last bit of wear out of your favorite white outfits. DON’T DO THAT.
My closet is absolutely over flowing with vintage floral skirts. These have become as much of a staple for me in Summer as my mom jeans and black boots in the Fall and Winter.
I’ve been looking for a dress like this ever since The Row did something similar a few Springs ago. As always, I found a match when I least expected it; while browsing a(n) (overpriced) Goodwill downtown. ||Tunic Dress: Similar- Here, here, and here||Sandals: Similar here and here.

I was going to title this “The Day that was Supposed to be Filled with Pottercon but that Sucked Which Was Super Disappointing So We Wandered Around Soho and Chinatown Instead” but I thought that was a tad wordy.
On Saturday morning, my friends and I met up for brunch at a spot a little up the street called Anchor Wine Bar. After passing it daily for so long, I was so glad to finally eat there! I had the chicken and avocado panini and good God.
The Street Canvas. What does that even mean?? I’m not even sure anymore. Maybe it made sense to me at the time but now??

About a month ago, my boyfriend and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas with his family. I didn’t take a lot of pictures (90% of them are us playing with Snapchat filters, as seen below…) and to be honest, I’m glad I didn’t. I decided before the trip that I wouldn’t stress over getting … More Bahama Mama
Hi everyone! It’s Flashback Friday (I totally made that up.

St. Patrick’s Day was one of a handful of warm days that have occurred since my move. I always jump at the chance to wear my leather jacket rather than that trash bag of a puffer jacket I feel like I always have on (better outerwear choices will be made next Winter, lesson learned!) and … More Pineapple Pants
Today’s adventure to find some brunch in Manhattan felt a lot like the “Brunch” episode of “Portlandia.” Only with more wandering and confusion. After waiting 40 minutes at Dudley’s only to find there still weren’t any tables (thanks a lot, table campers. That’s why you drink at the bar.), we tried a few more places before … More B!tches Who Brunch

Men’s Fall 2016 ended yesterday on the 11th so I decided to go through and collectively decide on my favorite collections. I noticed this season that the runways were covered in furs, loungewear, embroidery, knits, and long outerwear.

Lately, it seems like global warming is making a fool out of me. Whenever anyone tells me it’s going to snow, I reply “Yeah right!” and proceed to wear far too little clothing because A) I live in Tennessee and I’ve only seen it snow more than an inch 3 times in my life (a … More Ice Ice Baby

Couture Fashion Week took place last week in Paris, France, while I watched from a (huge) distance. I always enjoy the Couture shows because, while I tend to be more practical and lean towards ready-to-wear, I try to sit back and get inspiration from the couture shows. This time we saw eco-friendly designs from Chanel … More Couture Week 2016: Part 1
I went on a closet treasure hunt yesterday, looking for my grandad’s old bomber jacket and my really amazing swing coat that I assume has been swallowed alive somehow by my tiny closet. No sign of either but I did unearth this glorious crew neck sweatshirt I found at Forever 21 a few years back. … More GANG$TA LOVE
Ahhh, a day off. I’m finally getting used to having those again and trying not to waste them. I’m easing into that last part though.

At first I was complaining that it didn’t feel like Winter. Temps in the 70’s were ruining my plans of coats, wraps, and oodles of sweaters. Well I take it all back. Make it warm. All I can manage to put on (this past week anyway…) seems to be gray sweaters. That and this long … More Gray/Grey?
2016 has been here for a week now and I officially want to start fresh with my wardrobe. Unfortunately, I don’t have the budget for that (*sad face*) so I decided to comb through my blog and take a look at what I’ve worn this past year to see what new twist I can put … More 2015: A Year in Outfits

When I first realized how few graduation photos I had, I was a little upset. I’ll admit one of my first thoughts at dinner when looking through the camera was “Oh great. I didn’t get any for my blog!” But that’s not what it’s all about! I won’t say I had a great time at … More “What’s next?”

Ah Fall… or as it’s (or should be) called in Tennessee, second Spring. Except everything is dying instead of growing. So there’s that…Is it too much to want to wear a sweater? Like, a REAL thick-knit sweater?! In the meantime, layers are key. For this look, I wore a basic midi dress (similar) under a thrifted sweater. … More Fall??
I got together with my friend Chelsea (from this post) again a few weeks ago to shoot an editorial on addiction for her photography class. What else would I represent but a shopping addiction?!

I do love a good thrifted outfit. These brocade Asos pants were a great find (I think I only paid $3!!!) as was this amazing, versatile button-down. With any wild piece, the key is to tone it down with neutrals. I paired the pants and button-down with simple cap toe pumps and a nude pink … More Fancy Pants

The best way I know to describe the Chloé Spring 2016 Ready to Wear collection is “athleisure-meets-flowy-meets-mermaid.” Originally, the track suits threw me off a little. But mixed with the flowy skirts and athletic pants, I had some sudden nostalgia. Is this not the exact way I dressed in elementary/middle school? (Where are the embarrassing … More Chloé Spring 2016
Marc’s Spring 2016 RTW Collection was held together by two factors: old movie star vibes and color. The collection had almost no repeating items or looks but was done almost entirely in red, cream, and blue, giving it an Americana vibe. The differences in all the pieces was the factor that made the show for … More #NYFW- Marc Jacobs

First off, let me start by saying Vogue.com’s review of Rebecca Minkoff’s Spring 2016 show was a liiiitle uppity. “One gets the feeling that Rebecca Minkoff’s customer might be most familiar with the designer’s seasonal muses from, say, a Pinterest board. Still, if Minkoff can turn on her young clientele to the likes of Patti … More #NYFW- Rebecca Minkoff
Creatures of Comfort (you know, the OTHER creature brand!) held their NYFW show on Friday. The collection was an eclectic mix of patterns, textures, and lengths.

Well, Givenchy… you did it. You won fashion. Ricardo Tisci’s Spring 2016 collection for Givenchy consisted completely of black and white looks.

See by Chloé’s Spring 2016 RTW line was, as anything by Chloé is, a dream. The fabrics have a look that just make you want to reach out and touch them.

Yesterday, Zac Posen presented his Spring 2016 Ready-to-Wear Collection for his line ZAC Zac Posen.

As it gets “cooler” outside (it was 75 degrees in Nashville today and the breeze almost made me cry tears of joy), I, like the rest of you, begin to get excited for Fall.
