Friday's Fancies :: Pretty in Pastels :: &Attention New Yorkers!

We're back again for Friday's Fancies with {av} at {long distance loving}.. this weeks theme is Pretty in Pastels! I will admit this was a challenge for me because color is still something I'm still not so comfortable with! I'm a neutrals kinda girl, but have been making a significant effort to incorporate more bright colors into my wardrobe.

I'm really looking forward to these upcoming weekends! Next week is Scott and I's three year anniversary! I can't believe it's already been 3 years. And May marks my two year anniversary of moving to New York! Crazy how time flies.

So this is a little random and probably strange but I'm dying to branch out a little more and meet some new people. Would any of you ladies in NYC be interested in brunch and a little shopping in the city sometime? I live near Queens and it's only a short train ride for me to venture into the city. Long Island tends to get a little boring at times (read: most of the time) and I can't say the people here are the friendliest (at least that I've encountered). Who knows! I'm just trying to broaden my horizons a bit and so many bloggers I follow are NYC locals that I'd love to meet! Or maybe I'm just being a creep. Anyway, let me know your thoughts. 

I hope you all have a great weekend! Here are a couple snaps I took of my outfit today.

Work It Wednesday No. 3

Happy Hump Day!


This is the third week of Work It Wednesday with Laura from A Little Bit of Lacquer! This link up is going strong and I'm loving putting together new looks for work! This week I put together two different outfits. The first look is this navy kimono style dress with Alexander McQueen studded neon pumps and a floral backpack. My second look is an adorable Miu Miu printed top (in tangerine tango, like from last weeks Friday's Fancies!) paired with a simple khaki 3.1 Phillip Lim skirt, black belt, Bally leather brogues and Alexander McQueen Novak leather clutch. I hope you enjoy!

Look 2: Top, Skirt, Belt, Shoes, Clutch

Friday's Fancies :: Let's Fly Away to Amsterdam

This week we're linking up with {av} at {long distance loving} for Friday's Fancies. This week the theme is Let's Fly Away. We picked our dream travel destination and what we would wear while visiting!

(1) Date with Destiny Dress (2) Seaside Loft Pleated Dress (3) Love and Lace Button-Back Top (4) Sonia by Sonia Rykiel Striped Skirt (5) Lacoste Colette Bike (6) Charlotte Russe 3-Strap Sueded Heel Bootie (7) Alexander Wang Diego Bucket Bag (8) T by Alexander Wang Viscose Color Block Cardigan


Scott and I went to Amsterdam last year and it was just perfect. I've been especially nostalgic lately in wanting to visit again. I loved biking everywhere and visiting the coffee shops. The Red Light District was pretty depressing so I think I'll steer clear of that next time, but otherwise I found Amsterdam to be such a happy place. The architecture and the demeanor of the city was just so quaint and lovely.
Believe it or not, I wore a lot of skirts and dresses while biking through the city, as it's rather common among the women. I'll be honest, I did not have great luck my first run on the bike in a long maxi dress, but survived somehow. It's very intense riding among all the bike and car traffic, but after we got used to it, it was a piece of cake!


My boyfriend just showed me this video and I am in ABSOLUTE SHOCK, like jaw-dropping. In memory of Whitney Houston, this kid is fucking amazing! It sounds exactly like her! RIP Whitney

Happy Friday! Have a great weekend! xx
