Americana

Beanie: eBay 
Top: Sandro
Pants: Urban Outfitters 
Espadrillos: Ralph Lauren

Relivin' the days of our youth via good eatin', park frolickin', and funny face makin'. We're a lot calmer now (aka we are basically grandmas), but sometimes we bring out our teenage souls for old times sake. Although we are no longer dancing on cars/playing badminton in the Taco Bell drivethru/eating hamburgers on strangers' lawns, we've still got some vivacity in our feathered veins. Sort of. 

P.S. I've been forcing myself to write again and recently spilled these words onto paper:

Today the stars exploded confetti and you looked at me with your moth wing eyelashes and said “__________” but you didn’t mean it and we both knew it. Imagined closeness like acid tongues dissolving into pink puffball clouds that feel (almost!) tangerine. Raspberry fingers; indoor voices on the beach at 4 am. The sky was lavender and I thought I could see everything, but I really saw nothing whilst you sat right next to me thinking about the softness of stomachs. If curtained whispers didn’t exist behind your words, I wouldn’t perch on windowsills waiting for ghosts and the walls wouldn’t peel years & years. A road without headlights/throwing salt in colorless holes/ocean skin x x x. We swallowed piano pieces in monochrome to fill the vacancy. Then we drove&drove&drove; searching for eternity inside the pixilated letters the voice on the other end of the line the questions left unanswered. Because even satin-bowed lies look pretty from afar.

1989

Jumper: Target
Culottes: Miss Selfridge 
Socks: Miss Selfridge
Oxfords: Urban Outfitters 

Comfort is one of my priorities when it comes to fashion. I think it's imperative to feel comfortable in your clothes because you end up looking like an awkward claustrophobic otherwise. That being said, I have a weakness for snuggly oversized jumpers and voluminous pants (think The Row). And I was pretty proud of this look since I managed to pair oversized on oversized without looking like a potato sack wreck. So I snapped this photo in one of the bathrooms in Conde Nast like the shameless social media obsessed millennial I am. 

On the subject of fashion & style, this week has been a clothes-filled week. From lurking at the whimsical garb in Dover Street Market to going a little crazy at the private, invitation-only Sandro sample sale (up to 70% off on designer dresses/tops/skirts/jumpers/bags/etc!) to marveling at the cooly-clad humans at the YearOne Collective pop-up party in hip-tastic Hackney. 

Check it all out below!

1989 (Full Album) by Taylor Swift

**I finally found a crisp version of the album on YouTube! And I'm listening to it right now and, man, is it cathartic. I'm not gonna lie (Sorry Ronnie. Sorry God.), I totally dig this sound. Don't be like me and buy the album cuz these songs are addicting and the lyrics are ON POINT.** 

P.S. Thanks River Island & 5 inch and up for sending me these gorgeous ankle boot heels! Gonna wear these babies to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which is in TWO DAYS!!! Ahhhh, hashtag stoked.
