Sea of Shoes

MORE FROM MEXICO!

 

I wanted to share some shots I didn't post from my trip to San Miguel de Allende in July. Such wonderful memories!!

What a week!! I am so sorry I haven't been updating over the past few days. I got sick, I had pink eye, and the things keep piling up! Yeah, my boyfriend gave me his case of pink eye. If I am not looking directly at the camera in my next few posts you know why. The truth is ugly and gross!! Sorry guys. Sunglasses are saving my life right now. I'm actually headed to Charlottesville, Virginia for a conference tomorrow, hope I get to share some shots!

GRAPHIC

The graphic check print on these H&M pants was so cool, I had to get them as soon as I saw them!! The leather sleeve tee is from Zara and the Balenciaga shoes are borrowed from my mom (they are my favorite shoes in history perhaps..) The sunglasses are a gift from Toms...the 'Sandela' sunglasses! The necklace is from Ippolita. Wearing pants is a nice change, I am a die-hard jeans girl. (as you can probably tell from my recent posts...jeez) Have to get out of your comfort zone sometimes! I am also trying something new with my hair, it feels nice to slick it back and not worry about it.

MORE FROM NYC & THE MANDARIN ORIENTAL

This picture brings back wonderful memories. This was at the Mandarin Oriental's beautiful restaurant Asiate, where my boyfriend and I were treated to the best food of our lives! The view from our corner table overlooking Central park was breathtaking. I'm so grateful to have had that experience-I'll never forget it!

I was given a tour of the Mandarin Oriental's presidential suite--just look at the bathroom! The suite dwarves my apartment and the view was something not to be believed.

Wearing a Zara blouse, Allsaints leather shorts, Rugby brown belt, and Marsell boots.

We did some touristy things this time too--the Natural History Museum was so much fun!

 

Romeo the long haired Chihuahua was my favorite thing I saw in New York. His dad was so proud to show him off! Haha...so cute.

655 MADISON AVENUE

If you've been following my blog for the past few weeks, you'll see I was in Brazil with some of my blogger friends for an exciting project with  the Brazillian footwear brand Schutz. During fashion week they opened their first U.S. store on Madison Avenue. The store was beautiful and the opening was a blast! I fell hard for these suede cap-toe ankle boots. I love the pointed toe! I had to go back the next day and get them. Wearing them with my favorite Dre jeans by Rag & Bone, StyleNanda sweater, vintage scarf, and wet hair..haha.

They created tons of new styles for their Madison avenue store, so fun to see them all!

So happy to see blog friends Caillianne and Samantha of Beckerman Bite Plate and Jamie of From Me To You!

 

Don't you love Samantha's newly blue hair?? Had to snap a photo of it!

Aimee, Shea, and I designed some shoes when we were in Brazil, I'll keep you updated! Can't wait to see them in real life :D

NY FASHION WEEK REWARDSTYLE MIX

 

I have been so excited to share the recorded mix of what I played at the rewardStyle ASOS party in NYC last Saturday! Thanks for the feedback I've gotten so far, what a fun night! Hope you like it old school, it's pretty disco!

CHEAP THRILLS

I found this skirt in the kids section at Target and had to get it--very Isabel Marant, right? You never know what you'll find! Worn with a Madewell belt and a thrifted sweatshirt I cut up.

Photo from my Instagram (follow me at @seaofshoes :))

LEATHER & ROSE

Pearl snap button downs and leather shorts...that's an easy recipe that even a lazy dresser like me can follow.

Vintage western rose shirt found in Tulsa, AllSaints leather shorts, black ankle boots by Marsell, and Rugby double prong men's belt.

Fun fact...we found a pair of underwear and a whole entire dog bed floating in a creek when we shot this. Must have been our lucky day.

 

NEW YORK MINUTE

Above is my favorite snapshot I got in New York--poor babies are all tuckered out. I am too after a whirlwind trip! Here are some Instagrams from the trip, so happy to see so many friends!

We were so fortunate to be hosted by the Mandarin Oriental in New York. What a spectacular view we had!

We were treated to a chef's tasting at the beautiful Asiate restaraunt in the Mandarin Oriental. It was certainly the highlight of the trip, if not the highlight of my life ;) You cannot believe the food we had! I will post more pictures soon.

When I said these were my favorite jeans, I wasn't kidding. I wore them 5 days out of 6. The cap toe pumps are from Schutz! I also got my new favorite pair of shoes from Schutz. More cap-toe perfection below.

Suede black and white cap toe ankle boots! That's what I've been dreaming of. I'll post more of these and of the Schutz opening soon :)

With my beloved Aimee before the Schutz opening <3 ;)

I finally met the Beckerman Bite Plate sisters!! We have been Instagram friends for so long, I feel like I've known them forever! I love the Beckerman family!!

I jumped for joy when I saw these girls!! I wish I could do IRL with my internet friends all the time. Andy and Nicolette are the best.

One of the highlights of the trip was when I got to DJ the ASOS Rewardstyle party on Saturday night. Here I am with Leigh Lezark who DJed after me and Amber of Rewardstyle. So great to meet so many bloggers that night!! I will be posting a mix of what I played soon--keep your eyes peeled.
