Heading to NYC after work today for the weekend.

This month is going to be super busy since NYFW starts next week. I'm really pumped for I'm taking part in something super special this season!

This song is my permanent lullaby at the moment.

ORANGE POP

Pants - Zara, Shirt - thrift, Cardigan - Burlington Coat Factory, Shoes - 80%20, Bag - Velvetine, Friendship bracelet - Urban Outfitters, Studded bracelet - from Bali, Necklace - gift from my sister

Another flashback to Cali. I still can't forget that perfect 80 degree west coast winter weather. This is from when we took a day trip to Santa Barbara and then ventured on to the little mini Dutch town of Solvang. These photos were snapped right before the sun went down (the magic hour), and the mood in the air was fantastic. Solvang is a little more elevated than the rest of its surrounding areas, and it made for an epic and lengthy sunset view. My mom got me these pants for Christmas. She knows my taste exactly. I snagged up this cardigan for only $14 at Burlington Coat Factory of all places. It reminded me of Chanel, so of course I couldn't help myself.

I didn't end up going to NYC last weekend or the weekend we just had, but rather chose to stay put for some fun and relaxation time in Philly. But I'll be in NYC this upcoming weekend and the next for some fashion week madness. I miss the Big Apple. It's been over a month since my last trip there, and I think it's about time for a little escape. February is going to be one crazy month. I have a lot in store and a to-do list that runs about the circumference of earth. Let's see if I can do it.

CAT LADY

Sweater - Threadsence, Blouse - H&M, Necklace - Martine Wester, Jeans - BDG, Flats - Pour La Victoire

A button down shirt underneath a pullover is my go-to. But this is the first time I've ever tried it with a funky little leopard print. Sometimes you just gotta switch things up a bit.
