Waffle Knits

Recently, I have been looking for thermals everywhere, and when I say everywhere I mean I have spent the past couple of days looking for thermals. Not just any normal thermal but the perfect type of thermal, that is thermals that are made out of a soft material, have the right cut and are the right size waffle knit. Either someone bought all of them them already or no place (that I have been to yet at least) knows how/what or wants to make waffle knits. I did get a perfect one from Free People that I showed previously as well as the crop top one from Urban Outfitters. I love them both, they are so comfortable and keep me warm. Now to find a well cut waffle knit maxi dress, anyone know of any?

It's a Cheap Monday (Friday)

I kind of have a thing for Cheap Monday, not their jeans, but for everything else. I am not exactly sure how into this brand people are, seeing as you can basically only buy it in store at Urban Outfitters in the US, but I think their collections are cohesive, simplistic and generally cool. Although I generally buy things from Cheap Monday online, I first bought it when I was browsing the UO sale section and came across one of their basic t-shirts in white, in my size, for only ten dollars. What a find! It was soft and it kind of reminded me of the t-shirts from Acne that I love most. I bought the shirt and and now I am completely into the brand, which is why I found myself wearing everything Cheap Monday with the exception of my shoes the other day. 

The shoes that I am wearing I bought last weekend for five dollars in Soho. It is strange because I had been looking at a similar pair of Jeffrey Campbell ones a day or two before, which look a lot like these, but no place had them in my size. Also, I did not feel like spending the already low price (when I say low I mean it in comparison to the cost of the high heels that I really want but do not even bother to look at because buying heels like that should be a once in a while sort of purchase in my opinion, unless shoes are your thing of course) of only hundred and something dollars for them. When I found these I was relieved that I would not have to think about the pair of JC ones I do not have and thrilled that I found them. Oh and for those who did not see my previous post, the source of inspiration for the rose in these pictures are the images from my Rosebud Lips post. Later!

Alberta Ferretti is so Witch House

When did Alberta Ferretti become so witch house? I am not going to say that I didn't doctor this image to enhance the truly witch house quality of this look buy I am also not going to say that it was my photoshopping that makes this look seriously witch house. While you are contemplating the witch housey elements, or how many times I write the words witch house in this post, here is a witch house playlist Jordan put together of witch house songs that we like. And while we are on the topic of witch house, Urban Outfitters sells crucifixes now. In more than one style. Personally I am not into the whole wearing crosses thing, but I think it is cool if you are, in fact I have a little DIY project that can bring your cross necklace to a whole new level of witch house. All you have to do is take your cross necklace off of the chain/cord/etc. and with a hot glue gun, glue the eyelet of a hook-and-eye closure to the bottom of the cross so that there is now a loop coming from the bottom. Wait until the glue is completely dry and re-string the cross from the new loop. Omg you will be so witch house!

Ark & co. Tiered Dress

My outfit from Saturday

Dress: Ark & Co.; Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell; Bag: Prada; Hat: Urban Outfitters;

LF LF LF LF LF

A couple of days into my trip the contents of my wardrobe soon became more things from LF than the clothes that I brought, which is the explanation for the LF shorts and top that I wore in this outfit. Like I mentioned in my post White Knit Shorts, I love LF knit shorts, so much that I ended up picking up a couple of pairs in different colors. I found buying a knit top in Los Angeles to be a little more difficult but I ended up happily buying this soft and warm white one. The back is longer than the front, which is a perfectly odd little detail that works well for layering and adds that bit of character that can make you love an outfit. When it got darker out I added my scarf thing from LF and swapped the Litas for my ankle boots.

Santa Monica Outfit

We made unplanned visit to Santa Monica. I planned for it to be chilly but did not plan for the wind that would almost blow my dress up, my hat off and left my scarf flying all over the place. My scarf being my new 'not a poncho but not a shawl either' thing that I got from LF. I am a little obsessed with it right now. It got me through al of the cold nights and days in LA and was perfect for the plane ride back!

Cloak and Dagger Dess Jeffrey Campbell Shoes

The other day we took my dog to the lake. It was so hot out that I threw on this delicate Cloak and Dagger dress that Jordan picked out last summer along with a pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes and a straw hat (which I know you will hate Jordan, but I forgot my sunhat in the city). Later!

I am sooo indie... just look at my American Apparel (Independent [Independence Day] Fashion)

I am done with summer classes! So exciting! Now that I am done with exams I can finally do an outfit post (even if the title is a mixture of bad puns thrown together to make an even worse joke)! Even though I spent the holiday weekend studying I did get a chance to wear a 4th of July outfit when Jordan and I went to get breakfast at around 8 in the morning. Holiday outfits are actually not my sort of thing and I am not a fan of garments with flags on them (unless it is from Balmain),  but why not show off my DIY American flag tanktop (that I actually wore in my Saturday and Elin Kling outfit post) on the one day where I can wear it and not feel like a poser version of a 'cool-kids-cant-die' girl from Australia? Seriously, they wear American flags better than any American and they have been doing it for ages/do not look offensive because they are Australian so it is not associated so much with that whole American Apparel-Urban Outfitters hybrid (I am not against either of AA or UO, my cardigan is from UO) meets NASCAR look. I hope everyone had a lovely holiday weekend wherever you are from! Later!

NYChic

Lately I have been dragging Jordan up to his roof so we can watch the sunset (perfect time for outfit pics), he has such an amazing view. It is quite a mess up there though, people have been having a little too wild of a time, but I guess that is summer no? I still love it up there!

Either way, we have been doing loads of shooting recently and the DMM team has not been the best at returning emails I am sorry! We will get back to you ASAP!

Hot Summer Dayz

I am on break in between the summer classes. Six hours of class, three days a week on beautiful warm days (hopefully the weather will stay this lovely) is beyond horrible but it is only for a month (and five days) right? I wish Parsons offered Summer classes, FIT is a little out of my comfort zone... a school with a campus in NYC, what?? I think anything above 17th street seems kind of out of the way. Either way, here is my outfit from yesterday. My romper (which I thought was a dress when I got it... I am not much of a romper girl) is from Urban Outfitters, my ankle boots are from Frye, and my bag is Marc by Marc Jacobs. Alright, I have to stay positive! I hope Jordan is having a good time at work! Magazine meetings will carry on tomorrow. 

Estate Side Outfit

This was my outfit from yesterday. Shirt is from Cheap Monday, jeans are from Gap, cardigan is from Urban Outfitters, my ankle boots are from Steven by Steve Madden, and my sunglasses are from Oliver Peoples. Yesterday was spent kind of relaxing and doing a little mood boarding. In the evening we went down to the water. It is a little chilly Estate side so having a collection of large warm knits is essential!  

Jeffrey Campbell likes my name, I've got proof!

I am excited to say that my Jeffrey Campbell 'Mariel' wedges in Glitter came the other day. Like all JC shoes they are strangely comfortable.

Tuesday morning... afternoon?

Jordan is beyond nice, he takes pictures of me, occasionally edits them, helps me carry my things to class, poses for photos (by slight force), oh and he can somehow manage to have a smile the whole time. Thank you Jordan!

These pictures were taken when we were walking back from a lecture on Tuesday. The background of my picture looks kind of 'Jean-Luc Godard-esque' to me in a weird way with all of the text and the arrows. Either way, when we got back we reorganized the layout of my apartment. I will post pictures soon
