Graphic






I am so sorry I've left you all for so long! I finally am all moved into my little nyc apartment and finally have wifi (thankfully!!!) I am working pretty long hours.. so in between all of that it has been a struggle even to get a second to sit down and edit my beloved blog.

However, I think I've got a decent routine/schedule going now so I should be able to update as frequently as I used to (I hope!). This post was shot a week or so ago before I left cincinnati, and I was picking up on some major graphic & athletic vibes right before I left. I paired a simple graphic 5Preview knit slub sweatshirt with my laser cut leather skirt and some Wang-esque Calvin Klein sneakers. I liked this look a lot, and even left my hair up for those of you who said you loved it that way! 

I'll be bringing you a new post soon!! But for now, off to the NYC grind I go !!!

Daisy

 






Hey guys! I can't believe this is my last post until NYC.. crazy how time flies. I'm moving in wednesday and couldn't be more excited. Hope i'll be able to meet some fellow readers while I'm there!

Today was a simple white look with my favorite emblem of the season.. the daisy/ sunflower. It's everywhere right now! And I love it because they are my favorite flowers. I love the detail of the blouse with the little yellow sequins and the collar tips.. I just paired it with some simple comfy white shorts and my super fun sparkly flats and called it a day. I pulled my hair up (which is a little unusual for me) and pulled out my FAVORITE new bag from 5Preview. They sent it especially to me because of my French ties, and I feel like the luckiest little chica. I can totally see myself bouncing around flea markets filling it up with little trinkets (one of my fave past times).

I've got two more suitcases to pack.. will it ever end/ can I hire someone to do this?! Love yall and the next time we speak I'll be a Brooklyn resident and will probably have to drop the "yall" (:

Casual Camo







I really love camo print. It totally brings me back to the 90's. I love it even more when it's updated with an amazing pair of coated black skinnies and glitter pumps. Yea, you heard me, glitter pumps..

Ok so it's not everyone's cup o' tea but I totally love this combo. It's like rock n roll glam barbie. I couldn't have done it without the amazing skinnies from Articles of Society! I mean, I had been searching for the perfect pair forever.. and then they just came to me ! Amazing. Did I mention I'm obsessed with this brand?

I just paired them with my super comfy camo tee and my bone necklace. I added the glitter pumps because we were going out with some friends and I found them "going-out" appropriate. They are so fun but super high and slightly dangerous. I opted for a pair of classic strappy black sandals during the day.

 My move to NYC is getting closer so I appreciate your patience with me while I get all situated and ready to go !

Walk in the Park

 




So the time is nearing for my big move to NYC! I found a little place in Brooklyn and can't wait to move in. I am so excited for this venture & and I'll now have SO many more blog opportunities! I know you guys are going to love what I have planned.

I've been in such a great mood lately with life flowing smoothly (knock on wood). Anyway, the good mood has sparked some good mood colors and I'm wearing less black and more soothing cool tones. I Just love the way this double peplum top is inspired by free form nature, yet has such a strong pattern. As I'm sure you notice, I was heavily inspired by my lush little garden surroundings.

I love the way vintage levi's stick out under long tops.. there's just something about it that it so cool-casual.. lame wording, but I think you can see what I'm sayin'. Plus my vintage inspired leather peep toes made the look all more likable and nostalgic.. ahh

Prowlin'






Pardon my goofiness, but all the quirky cute colors in this outfit had me unable to resist the temptation..kind of like a little kid on the playground! This outfit is totally something I can wear on a day-to-day basis.. comfy quirky essentials that you can mix and match with just about anything. 

I'm actually obsessed with this Volcom colorfully striped cardigan and I believe I wore it 4 out of the 5 days last week.. (exaggerating slightly). But really. It goes with everything and it totally brightens up my dark wardrobe. I paired it with these adorable Chambray Volcom shorts, which I have been lusting after for the impending summer season right around the corner. Volcom is just really great at creating effortless california fab.. is it ok to put it that way? I think so. I paired the two staples with an original feather hearts tee and my adorable new daisy sandals gifted to me from the lovely folks at BC footwear (they're so 90's and I LOVE it).

Do you guys like wearing throwing a bunch of eclectic pieces together? Sometimes it works out (like so) and yea .. I get it.. sometimes it doesn't. But when it does work out, it makes for the perfect outfit to rock on a casual summer day (:

Sheena is a __

 



Soo here's a little switch up for you all. If you have been following my blog since the beginning back in November of last year.. this type of style is probably pretty familiar to you. It's definitely my comfort zone.. which may strike people as odd. I know my comfort zone is a little out of place with most other people's.. Anyway. Dressing a little rocker/punk/grunge/ whateveryouwannacallit is kind of my "thing." It's totally where my soul feels at ease (although, I totallyyyyyy also love to play with other styles, too).

The jeans are probably one of my new favorite pieces. I'm DYING over the black and red acid wash..they have a perfect in-between middle-high rise, make my butt look great, and are absolutely perfect in every way. Articles of Society may be my new favorite brand of denim, and have I mentioned how affordable they are..? I'll let you check out the brand in the link below for yourselves. You don't get a much better mix of style savvy and affordable than AOS denim.

I paired my amazing denim with an adorable tie-dyed crop tank from inlovewithfashion and that really cool bone necklace I got last week. The jacket I've worn on numerous occasions and it was handmade by moi. Thinking of adding some sweet patches to it, say circa '96 ? What do you think?

Smile



 

These smilies totally take me back to growing up in the 90's (you all remember joe boxer and lisa frank.. all about smiley faces). I'm so glad they're being plastered on clothing again. Something about it is so cute and grungey at the same time, which I love.

I paired this seriously rad smiley circle skirt with a simple cropped gray sweater and some combat boots, along with a bright yellow beanie. I don't wear beanies that often, but I thought this ensemble was screaming out for one. 

Overall I like keeping it simple and black with a touch of trendy. It's generally a fail-proof way of creating an on point outfit. Hope you guys like it!!

The Girl with Kaleidoscope Eyes






I'm not really sure how you can get chic-er than a light pink satin trench coat.. I've been waiting for the perfect day to make something beautiful of it. Now, it looks gorgeous with just a slip underneath and tied at the waist with a nice peep toe heel.. but I wanted to make it more fun, more exciting.

So when I received this amazing kaleidoscope print dress from inlovewithfashion I was like.. AH HAH. I know what I'm going to wear with that trench! It's a quirky outfit and I am in love with the colors. I added plenty of fun accessories like my new fave necklace with bones cascading down like chain mail (interesting description, I know!).

What do you all think about pairing a statement dress with a classic jacket? I think i'll have to try it out with some other things I have stuck in my closet, since I loved this one so much! Hope you all have a fabulous Monday (:
