A few weeks ago I spent a majority of my
time riding between places on buses and living out of a bag. Now- that
sounds pretty homely- but I assure you it's much more rock and roll
chic. Between Boston and New York: these are the stories of what I did-
Everything from a personalized account of my concert experience to my
attendance at a shopping block event hosted by Refinery 29; the amazing
people I met; and of course, my in-life style/what I wore during the
time period. Enjoy.

My weekend began with some British boys and their guitars (doesn't it always?)

I went and saw a band called Temples at the Paradise Rock Club.

I
didn't know what to expect as I walked behind the venue, in a small
alleyway to the small club, on Commonwealth.I can assure you, seeing the
entire band was not a prediction.

It
was a few hours before the show, and there they all were, smoking by
the door that led to the holy cave that was backstage. What I remember
most while passing the door, was the amount of amazing hair I saw as I
hastily made it look like I hadn't even noticed them.

Fast
forward, to after the show- although I feel obligated to note they
played unlike any boys I've seen before. Their guitar sounds were so
heavy and strummed in your heart and down to your toes.

I
met up with a friend I made at the merch stand, he sent me on a wild
chase to ask the whole crew and management to find a pen to get my album
signed. I was being overflowed with British accents and smiles, tattoos
and hair. I saw a groupie standing off to the side- you can always
tell- so I approached her and smiled. Her name was Yvonne and she turned
out to be the bass players girlfriend. We became lovely tour friends
and she took me around and got all the boys in band to sign my album. It
was a crazy start to a long weekend. 

I
left the venue in a rush and hastily said my goodbyes to the band and
Yvonne, but not before hugs and hopes to see one another again.

I wore my wanna-be Burberry scarf and acid wash jean jacket. 

Tights, brogues, a tan top, and skirt.

Although I was sad to leave the party early- I had a bus to catch to New York.

Next post on New York adventures coming soon ;P

NYC Blogger Meet Up

 

This week I visited New York City to attend the NYC Blogger Meet Up and Dermalogica event! It was a fantastic chance to visit the city and meet all my favorite tumblr style blogs.

Before meeting everyone I went down the street to Old Cafe Reggio, a New York coffee shop, the first place to serve cappuccino in the city. It was beautiful and detailed. The slightly dark atmosphere was perfect for the cafe. Knowing before going, this was a place that my favorite author, Jack Kerouac used to sit and write his marvelous stories, drinking coffee with Ginsberg or Corso and other Beatniks. It was an amazing feeling to sit in a place that I admired so much. Also, the coffee was amazing.

 Meeting at Washington Sq Park was a sight of it's own, I have never been before, but the exuding flowers and outstanding arch made me instantly fall head over heals. The locals were, naturally being in New York, always entertaining:

 

After grouping up at the park, the bloggers and I went for a stroll in Soho to do some serious shopping. There I picked up a romper from American Apparel, a top from TopShop, and lastly a top from Zara.

While shopping, we ran in to the lovely Danielle Bernstein. I think we can all collectively agree that she is a massive inspiration to us social media style bloggers and casually running in to her in the street was practically a dream come true!

It was the perfect day to walk around the city and get to know each other!

Kaityln (The Layered Lineup) and I

After walking around we went to the Dermalogica store, receiving complimentary facials (which I strongly recommend because now my face feels incredible) and even got to meet a surprise guest speaker, Phillip Picardi, Online Beauty Directer at Teen Vogue.

 It was the perfect end to an amazing day.

I would like to give special thanks to Devi and Lucy for putting together such a wonderful meet up!

Cheetah Print

Very much so recently, I have been absolutely obsessed with Cheetah Print! What brought on this recent adoration, i'm not sure. Quite possibly it's the lyric from Arctic Monkey song, "That's magic in a cheetah print coat." To me Cheetah print is one of those prints that is a complete confidence boost. Whether it be jackets, tops,or shoes- I love it!

 This is a "night out" option for a Cheetah print coat.

Paired with a leather skirt and chelsea boots-

 you'll be looking fab in no time xx

 For a "day out" option, I went with something more casual:

A tee and jeans paired with flats!

Can't go wrong xx

Although cheetah print is a far cry from subtle there are ways

to blend it in to an outfit without being too much.

These cheetah wellies are super cute and fierce!

Style Icons

Recently, I read Alexa Chung's new book It. Unlike most style icon books Alexa's isn't a how-to on how to copy her style, but more of an extensive look of people and things she finds inspiration in. After finishing the book in about 2 hours (because I couldn't put it down!) I started thinking about the things and people who inspire me! Naturally, I find inspiration in a lot of different people. Whether it be on the street, on the internet browsing through tumblr, or some mystery muse floating around my head. But there are certainly people who stick, who pop in my brain, who I try to channel essence and style. Here's a list of those people (in no particular order):

Alexa Chung

Well, duh! Alexa is probably my main style icon. Her boyish and young style is something that not many teens don't dream to have, I reckon. She always seems so effortless, like she just woke up and accidentally put on the perfect outfit. sigh.

The Cast of Heathers (esp Veronica)

Heathers is probably one of my favorite films at the moment and I can't tell whether it's the excitable yet morbid plot that gets me or the ahhhmazing clothes. 80's and 90's fashion are extremely heavy influencers of my style. The costume design for this film is great and the color themes are absolutely brilliant. Oversized outerwear, scrunchies, leather jackets and lots of black i.e Heaven.

Harry Styles

Yep, you read correctly.

Harry Styles, everybody!

Whether it be the heavy jackets, hats, and layers that get me I will never know. Maybe it's the pairing of running trainers and skinny jeans, maybe it's the RayBan sunnies and head scarves, maybe it's the way he walked (sorry).

Regardless of the reason, his style is perfectly swoon worthy (and not just becuase he's hot). I mean, I can't be the only one who thought those Saint Laurent glitter black leather boots were perfect, right?!

Danielle Bernstien

I don't even think I would be able to consider myself a style blogger if I didn't adore Danielle B.

If it weren't for her I would never have a deep admiration for pointed loafers or tartan pants, and where would I be without those things: dead, basically.

She adds a very refined, clean, and mature sort of inpiration to my list and I am very happy with that.

Eleanor Calder

Eleanor Calder's style is very over looked to most, but to the other 90% of sane people, she is- in short and rightly said- a style icon. To be very honest, I don't even think I would have any interest in fashion if it weren't for this very special girl. I remember seeing photos of her from the Topshop fashion show and just being completely in awe of her beauty and her clothes! She puts a casual and girly addition to my inspiration when I pick out my outfits.

This outfit, to me, is timeless.

(The photo says it all)

Mary-Kate and Ashley

Does this even need an explanation?

Perfection.

Rachel Green from Friends

Growing up, I lived on Friends. My mom (and every other person from 1994-2004) was in love with the show and I constantly got in trouble for peeping in on her show time. My favorite girl character had to be Rachel

What can I say?

Overalls and killer hair.

(might I make a quick note that Pheobe is also killen it in the second picture)

 Matty Healy

Oddly enough, I think of Matt Healy a lot when I get dressed (not in that way).

That is because of two major factors: black and drapey.

I love his adoration for the color black, expensive leather, and chunky lace boots.

I take "dressed in black, head to toe" to a whole other level because of this beautiful man.

Cher from Clueless

Tartan, colors, and blazers are Cher's specialty.

Although my clothes could never be that colorful and bright, Cher makes my list for the sheer brilliance of matching patterns and prints.

 The Female Neighbor in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Although she was only on screen for about .5 seconds, she completely caught my eye and I creepily think about how awesome her sunglasses and coats are (a lot).

  Christina from Trop Rouge

A very under rated style blogger, in my opinion.

Without her, my head would be very cold because when it comes to hats she is basically a god.

Completely street style with a little edge and amazing hair, she wraps up the list!

If you read all the way to the bottom, I love you.
