Returning to my true hometown: NYC

I'll be venturing up to NY finally on Thursday! It's been almost a year which really just makes me want to cry. Jess, Mom, and I will be driving up to Long Island to beach and boat it up the majority of the time....I'll be drowning myself in tanning oil on my body and lemon juice in my hair...fulling embracing summer naturally :) ha At some point I'll going into the city for a day or two for some shopping of course and to visit my friend Jonathon who goes to Parsons and hopefully my friend Kelly who's been interning up there this summer with fitness mag. I CANNOT WAIT. NY is literally calling my name. Needing some inspirational outfits...I chose the following...for just a few of course. (PS my OCD kicked in and I reorganized my fashion obsessions into folders :) don't even want to know how many there are andddddd before weeding out some of the pics from Italy/Europe I had.....over 3,000 pics....I made myself pick and choose which ones to print. Got it down to 576...we'll see. baha)

Bargains

Although I'm obsessed with fashion, I am a HUGE bargain hunter. I could probably tell you how much each piece of my clothing/accessories costs on any given day. Whenever, I read magazine and they have a "get this look" or "splurge vs steal", I always think "I could find something cheaper/better that that!" haha So in lieu of this fact, I've decided to add a new twist to my blog. I'll feature a street style outfit and find similar pieces at different price points. I am going to start with macys.com, urban outfitters, and forever 21. If there are any other places you would include let me know. Obviously, it will be from most expensive ($$$) to least ($). Here is the first!

New Name

So I'm brainstorming on changing my blog's name and having some writer's block....if you have any ideas throw them my way! Here are a few of my summer favs! Enjoy :)

FREAKING OUT

So I'm just catching up on all the fashion blogs I read and if you know me you know I LOVE The Satorialist. Of course, he was in Florence lately and was at Pitti Uomo (the men's fashion trade show I went to in Florence), and ya know I'm looking through his pictures and what do I see.....

And I'm like HOLD ON.......above was his pic.....now look at my pic......
.....So I was literally standing next to him and had no idea....pissed. but at the same time excited b/c I took the same pic! ahhhhhhhh
