November Favorites

November Favorites



Beverly Hills Charm butterfly earrings / Essie nail polish / Talenti Coffee Chocolate Chip Gelato, 1 pt / Twinings herbal tea / Taylor Swift 1989 (Deluxe Edition) Target Exclusive


From left to right:

1.) Taylor Swift's newest album 1989 has been on repeat! It's strange but Taylor's music is always able to bring me back to the autumn of the year the album was released. I love how she is able to paint pictures with her lyrics, and somehow she is always able to write the soundtrack for my life concurrently with what I am going through. For instance, the song Welcome To New York, fits in for me perfectly as this was the year that my wildest dream of moving to this beautiful city came true. I'm a sucker for the sad songs, so if I had to choose just one, my favorite off this album is probably the song: Clean.


2.) I started drinking Chamomile Tea this month. Not only does it have so many health benefits, which you can read up on here but it tastes yummy and is able to help you sleep better! I drink a cup mixed with a spoon of honey (for sweetener) right before bed, and I've been able to sleep soundly! I've also been having crazy awesome, vivid dreams (which i think is just a fringe benefit!) 

3.) Okay, so confession time, I saw Rosamund Pike wearing Black Diamond Stud Earrings in the brilliant movie Gone Girl, and I had just had to have them! I'm sure the ones that Miss Pike was wearing in the film were thousands of dollars, so I found a cheaper alternative! And they're so pretty!! I've been wearing them pretty everyday.

4.) I got this Coat that mimics a men's oversized sports blazer from Urban Outfitters. It's been perfect for this cool fall days for me to wear on my walks to campus. For more information on it, read my post here

5.) Black nails are always fashion forward! I've been using Essie's Licorice to not only create black matte french tip look, but also for designs such as geometric nails. I'm going to get a lot of use out of this polish! And especially because Black is one of my favorite colors! Check out some of my nail designs, on my instagram page: here

6.) Okay so I just discovered Coffee flavored Ice Cream, in the form of Talenti Gelato. and suffice to say, it is delicious!! I don't know how I was without it for 22 years. I've only become a coffee fan a year ago (read up on my dive into the coffee world here) So i'm still always finding new coffee flavored foods that I enjoy, and what could be better than coffee and chocolate?

What have been some of you favorite items this month? I'd love to know :)

Stay glamorous,

Princesses in Plaid


This week's fashion inspiration is from the one and only, and always glamourous: Kate Middleton.

Miss Middleton is wearing a plaid skirt, with a black turtleneck and blazer, touched off with boots and tights. I add my own style to this ever classic outfit, by wearing a black and white bow collar blouse under a black blazer, and instead of boots: knee socks and booties! (knee socks are Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkey's, approved ;) ) how do you wear the plaid skirt?


Fun Fact: these pictures are taken at the Pratt Institute Library (Brooklyn's first public library) and the stacks are made with glass floors designed by Tiffany and Co!! How much more glamourous can a library get?

Sequins and Autumn Sun


I. adore. sequins.

But how does one wear sequins on a normal day, with no promise of a fancy event to go to? The simple solution: You dress them down. I took these gorgeous gray and silver embellished scallop hemline shorts (and made them winter wear-able, another plus) by throwing them together with a pair of black opaque tights, and a gray sweater, that I've messily tucked in. Easy and chic! Not to mention, glamourous!




Another addition to my outfit is this coat!! This warm, cozy coat has become my new favorite staple this season. It has the appearance of an oversized men's sports coat, but the cut is just feminine enough. And it also has secret pockets on the inside :) If there's anything I love more than sequins, it's pockets. I like to have my pockets.

Happy Feet



Happy, lovely fall!

These are one of my favorite pairs of shoes (and the only flats I ever wear, I love my heels! ;)





My social media flats are perfect to wear on lazy days, when I'm just headed to class or spending the day in the library: classic, easy and chic! And I love the character they are able to portray, perfect for my personality!
