Forever 21 london launch

Finally managed to sort through the pics from the forever 21 london launch! The party itself was amazingly entertaining and well organized, I have to give extra points for the 3D hologram fashion show! I had my uni deadline the morning after, which is my excuse for looking a bit tired in some of the photos..

I wore a super old dress that I got from oasis a few years ago... I'm not sure why I picked it for the night, I think I was aiming for the most colourful piece in my wardrobe. It does look a bit carrie but I love the almost retro feel of it, suited in to the scenery for sure.

The week after when the store properly launched I had the privilege to attend a preshopping event, the night before the big opening and just before I left london! I picked a few pieces and about 10 rings... you have to go check it out yourself, the 3 story giant we finally have on oxford street!

I have to thank forever 21 for having me around, I had such a great time and will be hitting the store again as soon as I get back to london!

I wore a margiela blazer and shorts, helmut lang knit, chloe sevigny x opening ceremony boots

"All business, no play." Can you believe some dude on the street hollered that at me as if it were a pick up line? What the hell? Seriously dude, you saw me from half a block away and that's the best you could come up with? COME ON!

Working on a mini make over for this blog. I haven't touched this layout in over two years so we'll see how far I get........

DKNY Summer Bash

Wearing a simple Cotton On tee, By Corpus skirt, and Vanessa Mooney jewelry.

YUMMIEST THINGS EVER.

The artist drew out my blog name, so amazing!

This girl is AMAHZING. period.

Even though I've been so busy with work, I always squeeze some fun time into my life as well. Right after work, I rushed home, quickly threw on this striped oversize tee and high waisted skirt, and actually made it to the DKNY pool party just in time! I wanted to be very casual for this little summer bash. My good friend Taisa (of the website Amahzing) and I sipped on champagne and munched on amazing hors d' ouvres like juicy mini cheeseburgers! I was so full off of them that I had to skip dinner altogether! The event was held at the Dream Hotel in the Meatpacking district, one of the most beautiful, trendy hotels in the city. There, I ran into so many people that I have worked with here in NYC and so it was great to see some familiar faces. DKNY was celebrating the launch of their latest sunglasses collection and everyone took home an awesome pair. Because I have a smaller face, I went with one of their new small framed sunnies! Can't wait to show them to you! There are so many amazing events lined up here in NYC. I just hope I have time to attend them! :)

The Sleeveless Button Down

(We Are Rubbish blouse, Wanderlust + Co necklace, By Corpus shorts, Coach handbag)

I think nude might be my favorite shade to wear, especially with a dark red lip, which I happen to sport very often now! With the heat, a red lip has come down to being one of my main accessories. Here I'm wearing a very basic nude on nude look during my stay in Philly. Because I am addicted to button downs, I've been looking high and low for a sleeveless one that works well in this unbearably icky heat, and luckily found the perfect one! The asymmetrical hem billows beautifully to one side and looks great with just a very simple cotton short. Unfortunately, I was in a total time crunch and ran out the door realizing later that I didn't get a chance to iron it. Oh well, it's erm...grungy? Enough about my non existent relationship with an ironing board, here's what I've been carrying around every day of my busy schedule here in the city! This huge but totally amazing leather Coach bag. Straight out of the new "Chelsea" collection, I'm hooked. This baby looks good with everything and gahhh the inner compartments kind of saved my life. Never do I ever have to hold everyone up at the subway station searching for my MetroCard or remain outside my building looking for my house keys. IT'S THE BEE'S KNEES.

Heyy from finland.. I'm finally back after spending way too much of the summer in london.. within the last week in the city, it really felt like everyone had left... pubs and small streets empty while oxford street and the shops were filled with tourists. I just had to get a few things done before putting the busy life on hold for a little while.. today I am going to eat nothing fresh berries all day.

These where taken on my last visit here, I blame celine's resort collection for making me take out this old blazer that now does look quite awesome right....? if only I had matching pants..

Morning Walk in the Park

(Urban scarf, old Insight tee, True Religion shorts, Velvetine bag, Urban Sandals, Milor Italy purple ring)

I live for morning walks like these at this local park in Brooklyn Heights. The tree lined Cadman Plaza park always seems to look like fall with the abundance of scattered leaves. This place is picture perfect every single day. Although it looked beautiful, it was sweltering and so opted for one of my oldest printed tees along with probably the tiniest shorts I own. In this heat, less clothes the better! I do seem to always wrap something around my arms these days, and because I was planning on spending the entire days indoors at the Met, I threw on my favorite floral scarf. I love the print and the sheer, lightweight fabric. It moves and drapes perfectly. It was such a dreamy morning, so glad that I was there to take photos and capture the moment...just before the sun came out.
