Simple and Concise
Hello my fellow Stylegazers! I won't bore you with a lengthy introduction, because this time around I've decided to keep it simple, both when it comes to style and writing. I usually wear this dress with a pair of heels, however for this specific blog post, I wanted to try something different and wear it with sneakers for more of a "street style" look. The dress is from Mystique , currently one of my favorite retailers; the sneakers are from ASOS; crop top was a hand-me-down (American Apparel) and the bag is from Furla. The sunnies are from American Eagle Outfitters.
Deff “Leopard”
Hello my fellow Stylegazers! I have taken advantage of the only nice day this week, to visit the heart of Williamsburg, also known as the Berry Street. According to the Forgotten New York: Berry is named for Abraham J. Berry (1798-1865), Williamsburg(h)’s first mayor after its incorporation as a city in 1852. A physician by trade, he aided in an 1832 cholera epidemic and later was the surgeon for the NYS 38th Infantry during the Civil War. Williamsburg had its ups and downs, changed names, but the remnants of its rich industrial history can still be seen today. However this time around in a form of whimsical art stores, biergartens and restaurants.
Pastels in September?
Happy Friday my fellow Stylegazers! I don’t know about you, but I feel like one way to describe this week would be – WEIRD. To start off - I went through so many emotions this week, went to the both ends of the emotional spectrum, hit the highs and the lows and then finally reached the equilibrium. Yay. If you were to ask me: “Giiirrrlll, what happened?” I would have to say that I really don’t know. I do not know what happened there…
Sassy September
Hello my fellow Stylegazers! So September is here and honestly – I’ve been ready for it for a while now. Pumpkin Spice Latte is back, not that I particularly care. I’m more of an apple cider and black coffee kind of gal anyways. So… that’s that. I do however, very much care about Bath & Body Works - maybe too much even. (My bank account knows.)
My Travel Diary: Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia
They say that to live is to travel or to travel is to live – something like that… And guess what? They’re right. Every now and then, we need to break the routine, get away, explore, get lost, because trust me – the unfamiliar changes the perspective by making us adjust to the new surroundings, situations, people and culture. It’s easy to get lulled into the familiar, but every now and then your bones need to be shaken up, your mind should be wild like ocean waves and your soul set on fire. Sometimes you just need to reawaken that childlike curiosity that you buried deep in your heart and look at the world in novel ways. You just need to remember that caged birds don’t really sing, so why cage yourself? Go! Do something for yourself for once! Leave your gilded cage! Let your soul soar!
Little Black Dress
Oh, the little black dress... A classic staple of every lady. A timeless piece in your closet. Always so perfect for any occasion and always so "upgradeable." Add different jewelry/accessories, different shoes and bag and voilà! No one will remember how many times you've actually worn it.
Father’s Day Gift Ideas
To the fathers in our lives: Thank you for working so hard to support our dreams. Thank you for working so hard and setting an example that things in life don't come easy - you have to work for them. Thank you for working so hard that we realize that time spent with you is so valuable. Thank you for believing in our dreams and always helping us improve. Thank you for teaching us how to change a tire, fire up the grill and all of the other things that we never thought we needed, but soon enough we realized that we actually really do. Thank you for being our biggest fan.
Advice to Graduating High School Seniors
Collage by me. Yay! You've made it! Well, you still have four more years of college ahead of you, but you have just closed a one long chapter in your life. Hopefully, your high school experience has been a positive one and hopefully one day you'll look back at those days with that nostalgic feeling. Graduating might seem like a catastrophe right now, because you're so sad about leaving your group of friends behind and afraid of stepping into unfamiliar, maybe even moving away from home... But, you know what? You are going to love college.
Flowers and Fringe
Hello my fellow Stylegazers! Yet again, I have decided to take my photos on the beautiful grounds around the Cathedral of the Incarnation. Of course, if you remember – I have taken some pics there before? (Here and here.) However, this time around the post is all about the flowers (notice my backdrop) and fringe ('cause I just can't get over the trend).
Visual Diary: Argyle Park
Hello my fellow Stylegazers! This time I have decided to take a walk in the Argyle Park – a gorgeous lake park in the heart of Babylon Village. It was a beautiful day for the most part, until the dark clouds rolled in, but hey – that’s just life. The dark clouds come and they go… All we can do is try and make the best of the situation.
