This past weekend I had a somewhat spontaneous meetup with Lydia and Christine! We headed up to Branford to go thrifting. Unfortunately I walked away empty handed by Christine got some great shoes and Lydia got leopard pants (I tried them on too, but they looked better on her.) After shopping we took some outfit pictures and then went out to eat at Donovan's Reef.
I wore two new pieces, a cashmere sweater I got at Aritzia during LuckyFABB and a necklace that was in my LuckyFABB gift bag! This sweater adds some nice color to my wardrobe as most of my clothes are boring colors (and too much purple.) It is SO soft too, and I'm obsessed with the snakeskin print, definitely one of my new favorites!

Here's an amusing shot for your viewing pleasure, I kinda like it even though I look crazy.
And some group shots! We tried to jump, but it's a lot harder with 3 people.

Finally, here's an outfit inspired by another huge favorite of mine, Teen Witch! If you haven't seen this movie, shame on you, it's amazing (watch it.) Full of 80s fashion, songs and funny scenes; you won't be disappointed! The movie stars Robyn Lively, Blake Lively's older sister, as the main character Louise (she is SO gorgeous, I wish I looked like her.) Because all the looks are very 80s I toned the look down a bit so you will be able to wear it without looking like you time-warped. This is definitely one of my favorite looks in the film.
The hardest thing about this outfit was finding a skirt, I was so sure that Free People would have what I was looking for, but they let me down, ha ha! I'm sure there is a more perfect choice out there (with the tiers) but I settled for the one below. It was also hard to find the pendant and, because it is Louise's source of power, I wanted to find one that does the movie version justice. So, etsy to the rescue!
Skirt: Delia's; Top: Delia's; Vest: Free People; Belt: Temperley London; Heels: Target; Socks: Soft-Fit; Bracelets: Marc by Marc Jacobs Cuff and Target Beaded Bracelet (get two & layer!); Rings: Kohl's, Kohl's and Kohl's; Necklace: Etsy
And here are some more looks from the film. I always wanted a dress like the blue one, I think I may have had one at one point, without the peplum though. I should look for a picture of me in it...
More can be seen in this video, pardon me while I sing along.

Today I'm featuring a look worn by Allison (Vinessa Shaw) in Hocus Pocus, another favorite of mine. I was choosing between two looks, but the other one was a bit too similar to yesterday's. I could seriously watch this movie (and Casper) every single day and not get tired of them. Anyway… What you'll need is a purple top, tartan skirt, tights, laced booties, wide belt, long necklace and a red cape! *phew*
Top: Target, Skirt: Vivienne Westwood Anglomania, Cape: Alloy, Satchel - Cambridge Satchel Company, Tights: ASOS, Socks: Target, Booties: Chloe, Belt: Ralph Lauren, Necklace: House of Harlow 1960
Here is the other look I wanted to recreate, just wear jeans, a white longsleeve shirt and an oversized tan sweater!

I've been wearing a lot of my burgundy clothes lately, it's one of my favorite colors to wear (I sound like a broken record, I say that all the time, ha ha.) Anywayyy, this past weekend I wore my Current/Elliott leopard jeans and threw on my 2 sizes too big sweater that I got on super clearance! I do love a good deal. I am loving the fact that we are back in jean and sweater weather, it's so comfortable!
For those of you that have been asking: No I have not moved to the city for my internship, I commute via the train (an hour and a half) and then walking 20-30 minutes from Grand Central three days a week. So far it's a nice walk, not sure how I'll feel in the rain, snow and freezing cold, but it works well for now. It's great exercise as well.
Jeans: Current/Elliott (Rue La La) $60, Tee: H&M $10, Sweater: Ralph Lauren (Lord & Taylor) $25, Flats: Chaps (Kohl's) $8.50, Bag: Chanel, Bracelets: Burlington Coat Factory and c/o LuckyFABB, Necklace c/o by boe, Earrings: Grandmother's, Watch: Michael Kors, Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop) gift card

Happy October!! This is my favorite month because it contains some of my favorite things: Halloween, Halloween movies, my birthday, pumpkin picking, apple picking and of course the beautiful weather! In honor of Halloween approaching, I thought I would post some outfits inspired by Halloween films!
First up is a look worn by Kat (Christina Ricci) in Casper. I have always loved this outfit and it is made up of basic pieces, so it won't really go out of style, the pieces just may tighten up a bit or loosen back up based on what is "in". Luckily for us, oversized pieces are back so we can recreate it more closely. Kat had a thing for henleys in this film and, if I recall correctly (which I know I do), she was always in one (except for the Halloween party.) All you need is a green henley, open crochet sweater/cardigan, jeans and a small heeled ankle boot. Oh, and a big ring for your thumb!

This past Sunday my roommate and I went apple picking at Lyman Orchards! After we went I made a delicious apple crisp with some of the apples we picked. But back to the orchard, the weather was amazing! It was actually a bit hot at times but, when the wind was blowing, the temperature was perfect. I took the opportunity to wear a bunch of new pieces: my new LAMade top that came in the mail last week and a skirt and necklace I bought on Saturday!
Top c/o LAmade, Skirt: H&M $15, Necklace: Francesca's $22, Boots: Vintage (eBay) $17, Bag: Lauren Ralph Lauren gift, Bracelets c/o 31 Bits and Vix, Watch: Michael Kors, Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs (Shopbop) gift card
Some more photos of the orchard:

Another show I really enjoyed was the Matthew Williamson show. The use of prints in this collection was very fresh. I loved how the photographic prints melted into a solid color and were combined with geometric prints. There's not much to say about this collection, it pretty much speaks for itself. But I will say one more thing: beautiful!

Today let's talk about one of the biggest mall chains in the world, Westfield! They have malls everywhere, from Australia and New Zealand to London and of course in the US (which are the ones I frequent). More specifically let's talk about one of my favorite things to shop for: shoes! Westfield has an amazing selection of womens boots, high heels and wedges shoes! In Australia they carry a wide variety of brands such as adidas, UGG, Billabong, drmartens, Merrell, Guess, NIKE, TOMS and even Dolce & Gabbana!
I had so much fun checking out all the shoes, below are some of my favorite finds, there are plenty more where these came from! Make sure to check out all the womens shoes at Westfield! What do you think?
