Blonde Panache

This is another of the many posts to come from my New York trip! These were taken throughout our day wandering. The whole trip was kind of a blur. One of those where you have to stop and think what day it is and what you have done even that day, let alone the previous day. The only thing that sort of connects the dots is by looking at the outfits in your pictures. That's what I love about family trips. Everyone is so caught up with making the most of their time together, seeing everything they want to see, visit everything everyone else wants to see, and try to eat at every restaurant possible. It ends up becoming insane, but such an amazing kind of insane. I could not tell you what day this was, for the life me, but I can tell you that it was a really great day. It was a great day because did you look at my jeans? There very pretty. Thanks Anthropologie for that incredible sale, by the way. Also, that jacket thing that is all sorts of soft and fuzzy and comfy. Well, here's another outfit brought to you by the Suitcase Packed By A Big Loser. Another thing to point out is the bag. It's my mom vintage Coach that we found digging around a random thrift store in Las Vegas. That day was maj. (Courtesy of Rachel Zoe). 

The bottom two picture are of my and my brother at the MoMath, Museum of Math. When the website said that it was designed for ages up to 8th grade I was so excited to spend a day being nerdy. No luck. The only thing my brother and I found interesting was this tricycle with square wheels. I probably only thought it was fun because it's the only type of bike I could ride. Better luck next time.

For those of you that celebrate Passover, Easter, or both, I hope you're having a fantastic healthy and happy holiday. This is an outfit from a seder at my family's apartment in New York City where I got to celebrate with the whole family, many of which I haven't seen since last Passover. It's always such a happy time of year. These photos are kind of dark which counteracts the mood of the holidays; however, I loved the background so much that I couldn't resist. You'll never guess where these pictures are taken. Okay, you twisted my arm. They were taken in the elevator at The Standard Hotel where we stayed!! This hotel was very modern and everywhere you turned there were new amazing details.

This skirt is one of my favorites. I bought it on clearance over the winter holidays and it's moved on up in the closet ever since. Fast! It's very comfortable and its so easy to just throw on. I paired it with this navy cowl neck top from Gap. It doesn't quite give the look I was going for with this skirt, but I wasn't thinking when I decided to pack for this vacation, so this was one of the only options. Over the night, I became very fond of the combination because it brings out the dark lines in the skirt which are questionably blue or black. Going with a simplistic look, I didn't think jewelry was necessary and I love it without anything on my wrists.

 PS Something about that girl's jacket, topknot, structured bag and bootie was so in spirit of what I was going for this day. And she was adorable. So, that's that.

Here's typical Syracuse class attire. First, throw on your comfiest jeans. These comfy pair are from H&M of all places. And were only $10?? I was shocked and thought I read it wrong. Especially after I tried them on and never wanted to take them off. Apparently, it's a real thing and that's not just a major markdown. Go get on that. Next, we have the flannel. Remember how I mentioned that I went to Bass Pro Shops while I was in Vegas. Well this was a score from Black Friday there, so you know its legit. Then, we have the vest. Which, honestly, I'm not sure why I have two vests here. The weather man must get a tremendous laugh at my wimpy closet. I guess I just felt tough with a flannel and vest? The important part of this outfit are the Hunter boots. See, I had never heard of them until I came to the East Coast, but who would have known I would live and die in these suckers. Well, hopefully not die, but definitely stay sane in these things. I also notice in the bottom picture that My boots look like they have taken some battle wounds to them. It's just the salt from the ground when there's snow out. It, too, makes me look really really tough. So here, I present you my not so fabulous college-girl-wakes-up-and-throws-on-whatevers-closest attire. Enjoy.
