Exploring NYC Art Fashion & Photos

Welcome back to my blog!  Today I'm sharing photos from my day in the city during New York fashion week.  My friend Amanda and I made the trip to see a fashion show done by Yuna Yang and I wrote all about the show in a previous post - Attending Yuna Yang F/W 17 Fashion show.  

This post contains all the other pictures we took that day; wandering into the Whitney museum, lunch at a cute vegan cafe and of course outfit pictures.  Thank you Amanda for the stunning photography and adventure, check out her Youtube channel  & Instagram. 

Metropark Train station about 8am. 

Arrived at Penn station and wandered throughout Manhattan.

Blick acrylic art store - rows and rows of paint and art supplies, fit Amanda's aesthetic & matched her sweater.  Pretty cool to see so many shades of paint in one place. 

Blossom Du Jour is a cute vegan cafe where we got lunch - vegan mac & cheese and a kale sweet potato wrap.  Fancy vegan lunches at cafes are always my favorite.  

The Whitney Museum of American Art has numerous floors filled with inspiring pieces of pop art done by american artists.

The view of from the rooftop of the Whitney Museum of the New York skyline is breath taking. 

What I wore for the day was simple and chic with a touch of dazzle; very New York.   

This look is simply head to toe neutrals; a plain black long sleeve top, wide leg mauve trousers and vintage pointed toe kitten heels.   

I really love the style of wide leg pants and a tight fitted top.  These trousers are from the brand express, very stylish and comfortable to wear wide leg pants are a 70's trend making a comeback.  The mauve shade of these pants adds a delicate femininity to this look along with the cute pointed toe heels I selected simply because the toes peak right out from the hem of the pants. 

I chose to accessorize this look with rose gold details; a simple rose gold choker necklace and a stack of glittering rose gold rings both from Charming Charlie are the jewelry pieces I selected to add a bit of sparkle to the outfit. 

The starring accessory of this look is this dazzling rose gold clutch from Henri Bendel.  This glamorous bag is the shining star of the outfit adding luxury to the simply chic look while pulling together the outfit and jewelry pieces.

I enjoyed my city adventure and hope to return soon.  Let me know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to follow my Instagram to see daily pictures.

90's Grunge Photoshoot

For today's post I'm sharing pictures from a 90's grunge inspired photoshoot I modeled in with Kirsten O'Brien that I shot with Amanda Halbert from lvl5films!  Be sure to check out their Instagram @lvl5films & Youtube channel to see their film & photography work!

My outfit is a bit of a girly take on the 90's Grunge style.  

90's Grunge Video

I'm wearing this ribbed knit bodycon T-shirt dress from Pacsun as a base for my look. Plain T- shirts were popular in the 90's as a staple piece in any teen's wardrobe, I love the look of wearing T- shirts as dresses.  

To add a pop of color into my outfit I raided my Dad's closet and found this oversized kelly green jean jacket.  My dad wore this jacket in 1992 so it's an actual 90's piece.   The heavy oversized jean jacket fit the grunge theme perfectly, in the 90's clothing was worn slightly oversized as a look.

For shoes I work black Timberland boots.  These boots are just so casually cool looking and fit in perfectly with the vibe of my outfit. 

To finish off my outfit with a girly touch I raided my Mom's dresser to find this floral scrunchie.   Scrunchies were such a popular hair piece in the 90's and I love the floral detailing on this one, the accents of green match my jean jacket.  

I swapped out the scrunchie with a simple grey beanie halfway through the shoot.  The ribbed knit beanie matched perfectly with my dress and added an edgy vibe to the look. 

I had alot of fun shooting this look, it was a bit different from my usual style but I really love it. I hope you all have gained some insight on how you can put together a 90's grunge inspired look! Thank you again to Lvl5films for the photos.   Leave me a comment below with your thoughts on this look & I'll see you next time!    

Summer Shore Lookbook ☼

Summer is coming to a close and these days I'm enjoying every last second.  Today I am sharing some pictures that my dad took of me at the shore during sunset, yes outfit details & all.  I also made an Ocean side lookbook as well that I will add at the end of this post for some extra summer inspo, enjoy!

This first outfit is simple and easy to throw over a bathing suit as I did.  I'm wearing this baby doll fit top in beautiful blue tones from Aeropostale.  Underneath I have my new favorite lavender bikini top from Victoria's Secret.  For bottoms I'm wearing simple white jean shorts from Hollister. I always reach for the white compared to regular jeans, they suit my style a bit more.  As for my sunglasses I'm wearing these super cute heart shaped ones from Charlotte Russe.  

This second outfit is simple but on trend, a type of outfit that I see reblogged on Tumblr.  I'm wearing distressed high rise shorts from Abercrombie paired with a plain white crop top from Brandy Melville.  Simple yes, but the statement piece here are these stunning sunglasses by Quay Australia.  These are the Kitti sunnies in white, they have an old hollywood beach vibe and I've been wearing them all throughout the summer.

This last outfit is carefree, easy wear,  California chic maybe? A floral shift dress with a strappy bandeau both from Brandy Melville.  The dress is light and casual making it perfect for the beach.  I felt like a Brandy model in this outfit, especially with this beautiful scenery behind me. 

 

I hope you enjoyed the Outfits/Scenery, remember summer does not last forever.  Let cherish every moment.
