Happy Birthday to Me! I'll admit, having my birthday on a Monday definitely would not be my first choice, (i'll be in class ALL day) but it's not too bad! I spent this past weekend with a ton of my amazing friends and tonight I'll have dinner in with a few close friends!
Since it's my 20th birthday, I thought it would be fun to share 20 facts about myself
In honor of NYFW kicking off today, I though it would be fun to share a few style quirks that make a native New Yorker stand out day-to-day. Obviously since it's Fashion Week, everyone from the thousands of celebrities, fashion bloggers, editors, etc that pour into the city, to the regular Manhattanite will be stepping up thier style, but when it's not Fashion Week, we're a little more practical and predictable when it comes to dressing. Here are a few ways your style changes once you become a New Yorker:
Happy 2017 everyone! It's been a crazy year for all of us, and I for one am ready to start fresh! This past year, I've made it through two more semesters of college, lost three great roommates (who are still close friends), gained another great roommate, made more amazing new friends, got to show my oldest sister and my Grandmother around NYC, took a trip to Cancun with my family, got a job at my favorite store, and grew my blog more than I had hoped!
Today, I wanted to quickly look back at a few of my favorite Style posts from 2016, In no particular order, here are some of my best:
Who likes waking up early in the morning? I never used to. I fell asleep at 3 am and rolled out of bed around noon. But that's not going to fly in adulthood, and with an insane schedule between school, work, blogging, and friends, I need to be fully rested and on top of everything to get it all done! (Don't we all....) So here are 10 tips that I've used to get to bed early, get up early, and have more productive days!
Finding a really good blog that you can constantly read is a treasure, whether they're fashion, beauty, lifestyle, or career, there are blogs to suit every niche and interest! I follow my favorite blogs on Bloglovin' (their app is amazing) and check them every morning during breakfast, and usually before I go to bed. Here's a few of my favorite blogs and why I love them:
This week at Suite 1521 was very hectic, but we had some AMAZING designers showing! One of my all-time favorites, Mary Katrantzou, was here this week, as well as Ileana Makri, a beautiful jewelry designer, David Koma, whose a little too sexy for my taste, but still very pretty, and Lynn Ban, a very gothic/edgy/amazing jewelry designer!
I was ecstatic when I opened this Kate Spade Cedar Street Maise on Christmas morning this year, and ever since then, it has become the perfect bag for everyday and for taking to my internship! Today, I thought I would give a little peek inside and tell y'all what's hiding in this little red gem. Watch the video for a full, unedited version (complete with random papers, metrocards, and way too many lip products) or just keep scrolling for my edited version!
Happy Saturday, Lovelies! This week at Suite 1521 we had some amazing designers, Rosie Assoulin, Edie Parker, and Courreges! I was particularly excited about Edie Parker (owning a clutch with my name on it from them is a future goal) but they had an amazing collection of acrylic and metal clutches in every bright and sparkly combination possible!
After a long week, we all need to take a little time to relax and de-stress. Here are just a few ideas for some R&R so that you can recharge for another busy week!
One year ago today, my very first post was published on Southern New Yorker, and the journey began. From figuring out what to write, how to manage social media, and learning what a widget even was, I have loved turning my passion for fashion and beauty into something that I could truly be proud of, and I want to thank all of you for supporting me this past year!
On this blog-aversary I wanted to take a look back at some of my favorite, most popular, and maybe not-so-good-but-funny posts, as well as share some of my favorite blogs that have inspired me!
