Urban Outfitters halter top (similar here, here, and here $8!), American Apparel high waisted jeans, Adidas All Stars.

This outfit formula is one that never steers me wrong. The weather in NYC shot back up to warmer temps so I got to wear my crop tops without a motorcycle jacket. When the weather gets chilly again i just layer a jacket over and either wear Adidas or boots. I seriously wear my All Stars everywhere so I should probably buy a new pair soon! I love this She Inside crop top, plus it’s only $8! And if you can’t tell already, I love to play up my lips and line the crap out of them 🙂 I use MAC and Laura Mercier lip pencils. My secret weapons are: spice, soar, whirl, dervish. NYX also has great dupes, btw they just opened a NYX store in Union Square so I will definitely go check that out today and probably come out with GOBS of makeup!

The vintage crop top with the grey and pink tones was on sale at Urban Outfitters a month ago. I wore it shooting a new movie for Netflix last week! I have taken a small break from acting (sort of), I more am putting my focus into honing in on my blog and what kind of brand I want to build. Acting is fun don’t get me wrong, but I also crave being creative and contributing to the fashion world.  Hopefully you are enjoying my outfit posts as of lately and I definitely am always eager to get better at it. You already know my motto: there’s always room for improvement!

Speaking of improvement, tomorrow is November 1 and the start of a new month is always a refreshing time for  me to set a new goal. I am going to be giving up sugar for the next 30 days, it’s honestly my vice and I loveeee cookie dough! If you want to try the sugar free challenge with me, stay tuned as that will be the next blog post that I’m about to publish 🙂

How would you spice up this outfit combo? Let me know in the comments! Oh, and I almost forgot to tell you, this look is on LookBook as well. I love using LookBook for outfit inspo and finding new bloggers. Feel free to follow and connect there.

Dogs Before Dudes

Outfit: 

Urban Outfitters Burnt Orange Cami, Levi's Vintage jeans (also worn here) similar pair here, Adidas All Stars, Zara Bag. 

Is this heaven? I dragged my friend with me to puppy stores in West Village and Chelsea the other day and you can pick out any pup you want...and HOLD IT. I'm not ready to buy a dog (Danny, my yorkie, is at home with my family..mom don't let him read this!).

Shiba! He was super shy and quiet. 

This little morkiepoo fluffy ball is exactly what I will probably get. I love Yorkies and darker haired pups like Danny. Plus they are super playful and want to be loved up. 

Posted up at By Chloe in West Village! My favorite place in NYC for vegan food. I get the kale salad and gluten free fresh baked chocolate chip cookies of course. 

Laying out at Washington Square Park. I'm super happy I had time to blog and restart up my blog. My roommate was gone for the past week and it was sooo nice. I got a lot done and finally got to work on my blog and website. Normally she is always here so it's hard to get work done! It definitely motivates me to get my own place and puppy in the near future. I'm not ready for a dog yet, but they definitely win over my heart way more than any dude ever will. The real question is, what would I name my puppy?

Fall Mini Skirts For Badass Babes

The leaves are changing and I love it! No signs of me missing LA. I love the change of seasons because it gives me an excuse to hit the refresh button. Instead of complaining about things, I always want to find a solution and way to make it better. I love to give myself a concrete goal that is defined as much as possible. I'm working on commitment- more to the things that I commit to than to people. I am not a relationship kind of gal and I like to keep it that way. Failure is a habit and I consider breaking commitment a form of failure. Lately I have been in limbo and moved into a new apartment, broke up with someone, working nonstop, lots of excuses I know. So when I commit to something I want to be able to see it through. The reason I haven't been able to follow through lately is because of things like my new apartment being far from the train, for example. I ended up bailing out of a show because of how long it would take / I didn't give myself enough time. Since my goal is commitment, the steps I will need to take is basically to weed out the excuses that I make so that I can fully commit to my decisions and passions. 

Furry black crop top from Urban Outfitters (I also have this one from American Apparel), Zara fringe mini skirt (similar here), Adidas sneakers, Necessary Clothing choker. I also love this leopard one ($7!) 

It's now a little chilly so I would have to wear this outfit with a jacket. But I love mini skirts for fall. Like this lace up one is sooo sexy I need it! This distressed dark denim is one that I would wear casually in the day. And this one with the studs would look so cute for a girls night out with thigh high boots.

Crushing on Chloe

I've been wanting to splurge and buy a Chloe "Faye" bag for a while now. The design is striking and timeless. It definitely represents my style with it's feminine features and gorgeous color options. I stopped in Barney's yesterday to stalk down my dream bag- i found it in mustard yellow which is fun for spring and timeless black. But I had my eyes and heart set on this oh-so gorgeous tan version.

The "Drew" bag is also another option that I've seen on style blogger's Instagram feeds. It comes in so many beautiful variations: this python and blush // black and pink // and adorable giraffe! 

I can't wait to bring home a new Chloe bag for spring! Which one is your favorite?

Nautical by Nature

I am a sucker for stripes, and anything nautical. Wearing nautical elements will always be "in" but these  boyfriend jeans help keep the outfit looking too costume-y. 

Hair and makeup is always one of the most fun parts of a look. I love flipping my hair over to the side to create a messy but sexy look. Try Oribe Hair pumping mousse if you need help creating body... us bombshells say "the more body the better!" (Also Kim Kardashian raves about the stuff, so I had to buy it!) 

A t-strap leather sandal creates a long line in your silhouette- which will make any look fluid from head to toe. 

:: Shop the look :: 

A striped shirt (red is my favorite stripe color for brunettes) and a pair of boyfriend jeans is a fashion forward outfit without trying to hard. Relax and enjoy the compliments you will get. 

QUESTION: How do you keep nautical stripes from looking too costumey? Will you take your boyfriend jeans with you into the summer months?
