a city in winter

 After days and days of keeping fingers crossed and maybe a few snow dances, it finally came! Our ground was layered with beautiful snow. It finally feels like winter. 

This is one of my absolute favorite dresses in my closet. I got it in NYC on my very first trip for my thirteenth birthday! It is so flowy and light that I feel extremely mystical in it. In order to survive the horrific Ohio winters I rely on my bomber jacket. It is finally worn in just the right amount. 

Of course no outfit is complete without my handy dandy red boots. I will probably wear them to death eventually. 

New Year, New Me

 Welcome 2012, it is good to finally meet you! I can't believe another year has come and gone. 2011 was such a good year and I was so glad I could spend the last few hours of it with my best friends.
As everyone knows as soon as the clock strikes 12 January 1, everyone cheers and makes resolutions. I have always been a fan a making these, but never keeping them. It seems near impossible to keep a promise to yourself for an entire year, but this year it is my mission to do so! I don't care if people think it is dumb, but I'd like to think that I can keep this promise all year! Here is to a better year! Now enough of the stupid babble of resolution stuff, it is time to move onto the more important stuff. The clothes of the day! I was the type of loser who had to make a outfit change. I started the day off with the yearning to emulate the wonderful 90's heroin chic look. I got the beautiful fur jacket for Christmas this year, and I am probably going to wear it to death!

 

For the actual New Years festivities I went the sparkly route. Nothing like a good sparkle to watch the ball drop! It is the only way to do it.

I paired each outfit with these wonderful Topshop boots.. I am kind of obsessed with them.. 

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, also have a fantastic 2012!

Bulldogs and Christmas Time

Merry belated Christmas to one and all! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday spent with the ones they love. And I hope some were lucky enough to have a white Christmas unlike us Ohioans. 

Since moving to New York for college I actually have the opportunity to shop at fantastic vintage stores where I got these red boots! They have kind of become my most worn item. I pair them with almost everything. 

2011 is coming to a close, another year has come and gone, and what do I have to show for it? A box full of many memories and adventures. I have graduated high school and moved onto the beautiful world of college. I cannot wait to see what 2012 brings me. 

Shoot for the Stars.

So, I feel like I have to reintroduce myself it has been that long since I've last posted! Who knew that going to college and keeping up with a blog would be so difficult. Kudos who can actually do it!

So college! I feel like I have finally found my nitch. Nothing beats living in New York! Seriously, I have had so many opportunities and I have only lived here for four months! I have seen some Broadway shows, done some amazing shopping, and met some pretty amazing people in the magazine industry. I'd have to say the most amazing experience was being able to meet all of the editors of Teen Vogue, also known as my absolute favorite publication! All of them gave me such amazing advice that has truly motivated me. As my first semester has officially come to an end and I am back in my own room in Ohio, I have realized that I have come to the right place. I am finally where I am supposed to be to pursue my dreams!

Now that it is the holiday season, it is time to start thinking about the whole New Years resolution thing. I make one every year, but I never truly keep them. This year I obviously have to have a new one. Here is a sneak peak as to what it will be. Update this more. I mean, if I want to work in the magazine industry, I'll have to get used to updating things even if I have no time! So wish me luck on my endeavor!

Autumnal Solstice

Well, it is that time of year again. The leaves are slowly changing and the temperature is slowly dropping. No longer can we wear pretty sundresses without modifying it a bit. Sweater season is upon us! 

 This sweater dress is possibly one of the greatest purchases I have ever made. There is no such thing as being cold when wearing this giant knit frock. As for the boots and tights, I see them as a must with any outfit when trudging through the dreadful cold. 

I hope...

 

Well I have been on lovely Long Island for almost a month and I love it! Being only an hour away from the city is wonderful! It might not be as good as living right in NYC, but it comes close.

 ANYWAYS!!! last weekend I finally made it out into the city! Zoe, Dacia, Elisabeth, and I started off our adventure finding ourselves in a random flea market near Union Square. Everything I found there was to DIE FOR! I was at a high risk of buying everything in my line of sight!

  After hour of shopping, soon it was time to head to the highline! That is seriously one of the most amazing views in all of Manhattan! I could literally spend ALL day up there! It was such a relaxing way to end the magnificent day. After leaving the highline I found something pretty amazing. It was called the hope pole. On a side street someone put hundreds of blank tags and pencils to write all your hopes. It was so amazing to read all the hopes and dreams from complete strangers. I hope to come back in five years, and see if I achieved what I wanted.... if it is still there!

So long Ohio!

Hello all! I know it has been forever since my last post... and I am really trying to keep up with everything, life has just been extremely crazy for the last few weeks! For starters I packed up my life and headed out for New York, greeted by a lovely lady named Irene. Moving in to college was such a breeze, but it has felt like I have been here for ages and finally just starting classes! UGH!  

Of course on the day classes start it had to be raining! So I opted for the boots, tights and jackets.. Thank god I only had two classes to walk to or I would have died! More importantly, from the classes that I have taken today, I have the feeling that this year is going to be amazing! So long Ohio, hello New York! 

Here's to new beginnings!! 

XOXO
