THE CAMOFLAUGE JACKET

I apologize for my lack of updating lately. But, hey, take a look at this camo jacket I picked up at an antique mall during my stay in Pennsylvania. For $5! I am currently in Maryland having a quick visit with my family. It's been ahwile since I have made the trip back here, so I am enjoying the time with my parents. The two days always go by entiretly too fast.

P.S. - Yes, you see correctly. I chopped off my hair donated to Locks of Love yesterday morning! I haven't had my hair short in about 3 years, so it will take some getting used to. All in all, I was very excited about it!

TAKING ME BACK

(thrifted sweater, Charlotte Russe jeans (old), N.Y.L.A shoes) 

Here's a look at how I spent my Friday afternoon in Pennsylvania. Zachary surprised me with a visit to the park where we had our first date/camping trip. See my old post here. I loved being back there and seeing it in the fall! It was perfect day for an oversized sweater and jeans. I've thoroughly enjoyed being away from the city and back in nature again. 

P.S. - It is Monday, and I am still here in PA because of this hurricane craziness! I chose not to take my bus back to the city last night since they were shutting down all the transportation in NYC. And, I am pretty glad I didn't. Thank goodness for Zach's laptop, being able to work from here, and that I brought pumpkin spice Baltimore Coffee with me! 

Praying that everyone stays safe and this hurricane isn't as bad as they are saying it will be!

POLKA DOTS IN THE FALL

(vintage sweater, thrifted tank, H&M corduroys - similar, Nine West boots - similar, JewelMint rose gold ring, other gifted ring, random bracelets)

Weekend, you have been good to me so far. It's consisted of a little bit of productivity and a little bit of play time. I also received a life lesson from the woman at my nail salon tonight. She told me that life flies by, so make sure to enjoy it now. She is an older lady with three grown daughters, so my ears are always open to listen to whatever she has to say. And, I know she is right. I have been thinking more and more about the things I want to accomplish while still in my 20s. We all have heard of a '30 before 30' list, but maybe I should make a '25 before 25' list?

SIDE OF LACE

Can this week be going by any slower? I totally blame the nasty weather. New York City, where is the beautiful fall weather at? I am anxiously awaiting it. As you can see, my camera was not cooperating with the gloomy lighting. I've always loved out of focus photos though (remember this post?). So I couldn't help but post them anyways.

P.S. - How is October ALREADY here?

INTO THE NIGHT

(thrifted top, skirt from Nasty Gal, random sandals, Danielle Nicole bag)

Well, exhausting weekend number one has come to a close. I am officially moved into my new apartment, and a mix of emotions have overtaken me. It's such a crazy feeling knowing that I just got my first apartment here in New York. These photos are taken on my street, which just so happens to be the same name as the one I grew up on in Maryland (Fifth Avenue). Has to be meant to be, right?

I am patiently waiting for Friday when my parents will be arriving with everything from my room in Maryland.. and the rest of my closet! Cannot wait to share this whole process with you guys. Let me just say that I am one happy girl.

SUMMERTIME IN MY FAVORITE DRESS

(vintage dress, H&M flats, Steve Madden bag, all gifted rings, thrifted bracelets)

Finally an update for you all. After a successful weekend packing up everything back home in Maryland, I am ready to get this move taken care of. I can barely hold in my excitement! Please hurry up, Saturday.

It was one of those mornings where I grabbed something easy to throw on during this horribly hot weather. (On a side note: I legit almost passed out last week on the subway. New York, you are not my fan during the summer!) This dress is always a great option, and it happens to be one of my favorite vintage finds ever. An intern in my office told me I belonged in a Fresh Prince of Bel Air episode, and I couldn't help but agree. Watch out, Will Smith!

FLOWER CHILD

These photos are from a little park Zachary and I stopped at this past Sunday. We enjoyed a quick picnic lunch while we were on the way back to the bus stop. I am extra excited that today is Wednesday because tomorrow I will be heading home to Maryland after work for an exciting event this weekend (I will share more details soon!). It will be a super long day, but it will all be worth it in the end. Cannot wait to see my family and friends back home. 

Hope everyone's week is going well. Cheers to it almost being the weekend!
