happiness, no more be sad

it's finally sweater weather in nyc! woot woot! i'm currently on the hunt for the perfect cabled ivory/cream crewneck... and even though there's a seemingly endless number of options out there, my new knit still alludes me... maybe it's because i want an impossible hybrid of softness and drape?? orrrrrr maybe because i'm convinced "the one" is a $700 isabel marant number?! woe to my much too small salary!!

when you turn your love my way

holy smokes i cannot believe the last time i posted was the end of august! actually it makes perfect sense given that september is my birthday month, fashion week and the busiest time of year at my day job... but the weather is slowly getting crisper and i am majorly longing for some new fall fashion goodies... and one of the most important investments each season is a bangin' pair of boots... i am so loving these ONE by matisse footwear presley booties (top) for every day fare and these most badass be&d textured leather ankle boots for more dressier occasions (bottom)... and since they're both under $200 they won't break my always-watched budget!

we all want to change the world
