New York City Fashion and Personal Style Blog: Festival Fashion Event with Guess

Super excited to be teaming up with Teen Vogue and Guess for a fun party this Thursday. I mean, who doesn’t love festival fashion? And with Coachella just around the corner, there’s no better time to embrace it. Oh, and there is gonna be HAIR CHALK! I have been playing with the stuff all weekend (in fact my hair is currently blue), and let me tell you…its fun.

Hope to see you Thursday for shopping, sipping and more! x

With what feels like a never-ending winter, it is easy to constantly turn to neutral or dark colors. Just not feeling all that bright and shiny, ya know? But every now and again, I find it important to force a little color where I can. While I did get made fun of by a number of friends for my Tommy Bahama-esque ensemble, I personally enjoyed going after a Hawaiian vibe. It’s the closest I’ll be coming to a tropical vacation anytime soon, so why not have my own personal luau right here on the streets of New York City…

Back in the big city after two lovely weeks of travel. First to Florida, followed by Austin for SXSW. Miss it already, though it’s good to be home. Wretched weather or not, there’s no place in the world I’d rather be than New York.

Have a lovely weekend!

Had such an amazing time in Austin for SXSW. Wearing shorts everyday for a week straight was basically the highlight of my month. Snapped these photos on 6th Street before heading to see A Tribe Called Quest and Prince, who closed out the festival at La Zona Rosa! So. Much. Fun.

Music and madness aside, it was also really great meeting some awesome new people out there. The very talented and entertaining Grant Legan being among them. Thanks for the photos! x

Been having tons of fun in the sun in Austin, enjoying SXSW. Here are just a few snaps from Instagram. One more day in the heavenly heat and then it’s back to reality. Not ready to leave this place!! Texas forever.

Just a few casual snaps from my weekend in Florida. Had so much fun celebrating my grandma’s 90th birthday and frolicking around her perfect little neighborhood in the sun.

Returned to NYC for a grand total of 35 hours, before heading off to Austin for SXSW yesterday. Having SO much fun here with my friends from Fohr Card and Samsung. The music, the food, the people…this city is amazing. Can’t wait to see what surprises the week will bring! I could get into all kinds of trouble here. :)

Love the busyness of these patterns, and the way that they somehow clash and match at the same time. Not to mention the fact that the pants can totally double as pajamas. I won’t lie, I totally fell asleep in them after taking these photos. The top here is actually a dress (via Amazon Fashion), so I am excited to try and style a completely different look with it.

Spent the weekend in sunny Florida celebrating my grandma’s 90th birthday with family. Pretty impressive, and she’s still as hilarious and sassy as ever. A true role model in every way. I feel very lucky to have such an amazing, silly, and supportive family. There is nobody I would rather spend my time with!

And the fun is only beginning…Tuesday I am off to Austin for SXSW. Not only will it be great to stay away from the New York City cold, but I’ve never been to Texas and am basically out of my mind obsessed with Mexican food. Get in on the fun and follow me on Instagram?
