NOT Black.

Oh, well hello everyone! I know I have literally fallen off the face of the blogging planet lately, but I am back! I just started a new job so I can start saving up for when I make my grand move to New York, and it has seriously taken over my life. Im still trying to figure out a good balance between school, my two jobs, friends, love life, and of course blogging!

So, I apologize to all of you wonderful followers and to win back all your love, I give you the gift of a Look of the Day! hahah 

I have to say that I am pretty obsessed with sheer tops lately. I tend to be pretty lazy/gutsy and not wear anything under them except a bra, its kind of freeing actually. Funny enough, the most uncomfortable thing about this outfit for me was the color palate. My favorite color to wear: BLACK. This outfit: NOT black. However, for some reason when I woke up I pulled these things out of the closet and threw them on. Not too bad I hope?

Business in Front, Party in Back

Hope you guys like the pictures in this post, my 11 year old brother, Marcello, took them! He is such a talented little guy. 

I got this shirt at Zara while we were in New York. I love how drastic the length is in the back compared to the front.... almost like a well groomed mullet.

MAXi

Striped Maxi Dress: Free People, Heels: F21, Necklace: Vintage, Belt: Mom's closet

Free People was definitely my favorite stop that we made in New York. I fell in love with practically everything in that store and could have easily left with my wallet a lot lighter and my arms weighed down with bags full of goodies. But since I opted to eat that day, I ended up leaving with this beautiful and über comfortable striped maxi dress. "MAXI" being the operative word in that description, since I have to bust out some super tall heels to keep the dress from dragging on the ground. Totally worth it though.

Today we had intended to take pictures of our shopping adventure to Ikea, but we were so distracted by all the wonderful home decoration goodness, that picture taking kinda slipped our mind. But as promised, even despite freezing cold weather conditions, we BOTH did a look of the day!!!   

Hope you all enjoy!

"We Who See"

Sky-high platforms have been gracing the runways this Spring, and I have to say, I am pretty damn excited to have a new excuse to expand my shoe collection. I have a problem.... really.

I also have a problem however, with one particular platform design. It saddens me to say this, but Prada, I don't get it. I have been seeing this oxford platform everywhere, and  I just cant understand why rope trimmed floating devices attached to the bottom of your feet are aesthetically pleasing. 

Now, I am not trying to  build myself up to be some sort of expert in the field of designer footwear, this is merely my opinion, but there is a ray of sunshine in this post I promise. Scroll down and you shall see my friends :)

CHANEL has thankfully restored the glory and beauty of this Spring's fashionable footwear and has produced some gorgeous platforms. They almost remind me of a vintage inspired Roman fairy tale (if that makes any sense) and I would be more that happy to don these beauties on my feets. 

Buuuuuuuut since I am not in the position to shell out for fresh off the runway Chanel platforms, I have found another, more realistic substitute. I found these adorable "We Who See" light-grey patent platforms at Urban Blues. The feminine eyelet lace detail gives a wonderful flirty quality to a chunky shoe. I can not WAIT to wear these babies.

The weather here has been ridiculous. Just last night we had a crazy snow storm complete with thunder and lightning, and today? Sunny. SUNNY! Mother Nature must be confused or something but I do hope she makes up her mind soon. 

 Oh, and ps. we apologize for the lack of posts lately. We were both deathly ill with some sort of horrible epidemic thats taken over.

IM FREE!!! My Senior show, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, closed yesterday and I tell ya, I could not be more relieved. Dont get me wrong, I loved the show, the director, the costumes, the wigs, the crew, the set, everything, especially my fellow cast-mates, but its nice to know that I'll be getting a semi-normal life back now. 

To celebrate, Julia took me out for a long overdue date at one of our favorite diners, Blue Plate. Not only  is the service from tall dark and handsome tattooed waiters one of my favorite things a but the food definitely hits the spot. (oh ill regret making that comment in the future) 

It was a wonderful day that was capped off with some light shopping and picture taking, and I couldn't have been happier.
