Varisty Blues

I love mixing girly pieces with menswear inspired ones. When I spotted this varsity jacket at H&M, I totally fell in love. It added a little boyish structure to my flouncy, floral dress & sparkly Zara shoes. I was throwing off some major '50s vibes in my favorite cat-eyed sunnies, too.

Today seemed like the longest day ever. I must have written & responded to, like, a million e-mails. I got a paper cut. I was tired, but it's still exactly what I want to be doing though. Not everyday is the most exciting day ever. Some days I just want to lay in bed, listen to music & eat mochi ice cream or just walk around aimlessly, staring up at buildings & taking pictures of everything. But I feel like so many cool things have been happening to me lately because of how positive I feel most of the time. I love being busy. I never thought that I'd be someone to say that out loud, but it's true. I'm fast paced at heart & this place knows just how to keep me on my toes.

Love,

A

Black & Blue

So, I'm finally getting the hang of this whole NYC thing. I've finally established a little routine. I can kind of get around without being glued to some kind of app that tells me every single turn to make. I've ventured to Brooklyn & back a few times. I've officially been to some shows, including The Orwell's who I caught at two different venues last night. I really don't think I'll ever tire of them. I've gotten into some interesting situations. I'm seriously loving every second in this city. There's never a dull moment.

I've been doing everything that I set out to do here & it's honestly an amazing feeling. I love all of the people that I've met so far. I love my internships. I love where I'm living. The only thing I don't love is when I get caught in the rain without an umbrella & I'm carrying a million things. But honestly, the weather has been gorgeous for the most part. The other day, my new friend & fellow CollegeFashionista intern, Kali, took some photos of me on her fancy nancy camera. I've been living in rompers & sandals this summer. Also, lately, my color of choice for the summer has been black. Let me tell you, black clothes + sun + concrete = gross sweaty mess. I desperately need some color up in here.

Love,

A
