backpacking

asos saxby boyfriend jeans (available here), h&m tee, christian siriano for payless pumps (similar),
vintage chanel backpack (gift from grandma - similar here and here)

Since I'm done with school (forever-ever!), I was afraid I'd be a little nostalgic when September rolled around, having been so used to the school routine. Not the case at all. I'm so enjoying alarm clock-less mornings and homework-less afternoons..

The one thing I do miss? Back-to-school shopping. When I was little, there was nothing like a fresh new backpack to get me back into the school groove. This Chanel beauty is the grown-up counterpart.

NYFW: what i wore

While the blizzard may have defeated all of our other fashion week plans, on Monday I dashed home after class, quick-changed, and flew to Lincoln Center for the DL1961 show (more on that soon!). I'm so psyched beanies have been everywhere on the Fall runways! I won't have to part with mine too long before I can whip them out again..

snow leopard

I can assure you these snow shots lasted all of two seconds before we realized it was completely ridiculous for me to have ventured out in the snow in heels in the first place. But we're not ones to let a good snowfall go to waste. We make it useful for something - even if that something is a few good laughs!

Anyway.. I broke out Mommy's feather sweater again. This time I paired it with Sally's leopard? cheetah? animal print pants. Not sure what birds these feathers are supposed to belong to, but I'm pretty sure they weren't hanging out with leopards in the wild. However, the marriage of the two in this super cozy, super relaxed ensemble is sartorial perfection in my book (even if it offends the laws of nature).

cutoff curfew

Usually I save these shorts for the daytime, but when an early dinner turned into a super late meal, I had no choice but to rock them after dark! Once I broke my cutoffs-for-day-only policy, I thought they may not be so bad after-hours after all..

beating the heat

Lately, the heat has me reaching for cool, comfy ensembles. I love a good jeans-and-tank combo, but what I love even more is how accessories can spruce it up a bit. A hat, some fringe, and I'm ready to go!

on the deck

I wasn't kidding about these neon shorts - endlessly wearable, peeps! Straight into the luggage they went for this week's festivities, along with my chambray shirt, which is slowly becoming one of my most-worn items. I find myself gravitating towards pieces like these - ones that can be mixed and matched with virtually anything! They certainly make packing light easy..
