Paradise

Vanessa's Dumpling House in Williamsburg

Brooklyn Bridge Park is always going to be one of my favorite places to go to especially during the summer. My friends and I grabbed some ice cream and just chilled on a nice lawn for a few hours. For dinner we took the L train to Bedford Ave and got dumplings and beer. Nothing beats cheap food with good company and we were so full believe it or not!

I spent all of Friday at Sweet & Shiny Bakery in Brooklyn since a good friend of mine works there. I had tons of iced coffee and delicious cupcakes, it was such a bliss. I headed to SoHo later that night to have dinner with my mom and we passed by this stunning street so I had to get a picture.

Blonde Summer

American Apparel white crop tee (here), Urban Renewal Polka Dot Denim Shorts (here)

Surprise! I've gone blonde for the summer (: I thought it would be fun to have a lighter hair color but I didn't ever think I was going to go this light. I'm still trying to get used to it but I'll probably keep it for a little while before I go for some shade of red. Now that it's officially summer I've retreated to my usual go-to which is the high-waisted shorts & crop top combo. All I need is a jumbo slurpee and I'm good to go!

Easter Sunrise

(Forever 21 watercolor dress, Grey pumps, Forever 21 mint bag, H&M necklace, UO spike bracelet, Michael Kors watch)

As ya'll can probably tell, I dip-dyed my hair. Well I used kool-aid but yeah. I automatically fell inlove with this dress

when I saw it at Forever 21. It reminds me of watercolor paintings, cotton candy, and pretty clouds. Those are 3 really

awesome things, plus it looks gorgeous so I had to have it for an Easter dress. Also, I love to paint so the dress was just 

undeniable. I hope you're all doing well! I've been busy this spring break hanging out with family and catching up with friends.

Oh and if I haven't mentioned it yet, I'm working now...at Urban Outfitters! ^____^

It finally reached 50 degrees in NYC this weekend so I was able to use my new "Spring" jacket for a couple of days. I had some free time on friday so I was able to do my nails. I'm totally inlove with the tribal print, but it took me almost an hour to do it.

Sunday Attire

(Details: Thrifted white cardigan, Forever 21 polkadot turtleneck croptop, Gold chain, Navy blue circle skirt, Studded ankle boots)

It just dawned on me that I rarely wear white, or patterns. But behold, I really liked this outfit. I wore it to church today and without a doubt, this is something I would repeat wearing again. Yep.

Barely Warm

(H&M sweater, H&M cross pants; Forever 21 collar necklace; Urban Outfitters Deena & Ozzy platform boots)

Real friends take pictures of you despite the freezing temperatures. I think my friends have gotten used to my whining

and insisting to take a few shots of my outfits. "It's for your blog. I know, I know..." That's friendship.

I also tried Bareburger for the first time at Forest Hills. They have other branches throughout NYC too. Let me just say,

I never thought organic burgers would taste so good. The onion rings are the bomb.  It's better than Shake Shack!

Week 2: Collective Winter OOTDs

Daily OOTD posts on my instagram @c0nquis (:

Camouflage

I fall inlove with this camo jacket every single time I wear it. I just wish it was warm enough to last all winter long.

I also tested out this new app called VSCO Cam on my iphone. I love how it makes photos look like film!

Let The Hunger Games Begin // Black Friday Shopping!

My family and I headed out bright and early to Tanger Outlets in Long Island. It was 6 hours of
straight shopping / work out. I'm pretty satisfied, but I'll probably get more things on Cyber Monday.
I'm a certified card abuser, oh well! :x


( Dad's jumper, Forever21 black skinny jeans, H&M bag, and Target boots)


Exhaustion took over at this point.

The overall damage my family and I created.

Some of the stuff I got. Maxi skirt, cheetah cardigan, black satchel, and bits & bobs from Victoria's Secret.

Smooth November

( Blazer - thrifted, Dress - Forever21, Laced tights - UO, Shoes - Necessary Clothing )

Taking advantage of 60s weather before we plunge back into the deep cold for the next few months >.< Sighhh. Honestly, the only two seasons
I want to exist are fall & spring. My wardrobe is only geared for those two! Excuse my flat, boring hair. I have no idea what else to do with it anymore.
 I want to dye it ginger and get a perm because I just want wavy hair. Ok, I'm done rambling now. You guys can expect more frequent posts now
(hopefully). I'm pretty much in love with my iphone 5 and the camera quality is pretty spiffy in my book.

Floral blazer // Studded ankle boots

(Thrifted floral blazer; black jeans; Urban Outfitters structured bag; Studded tassel booties here)

Look how derpy my face is in the second picture. But more importantly, this bag was on sale at UO from $60 to...wait for it...$20!
I can't even express the amount of satisfaction & joy I have when I got it. Also, I'm just oh so happy that blazer season is at its peak.
I thrifted this floral blazer over the summer and have been waiting for the perfect moment to wear it. I know the pattern doesn't
exactly scream autumn but I'm sure it'll make a re-appearance by next spring. (:

Weather-confused

( Topshop burdgundy crop tee; Forever21 printed maxi skirt; thrifted black cardigan ) 

Last saturday, the weather was tugging & pulling with warm & cold. When I was out during the morning I had a thick chiffon shirt and black jeans and I was sweating. I went back home before heading out again and decided to switch to a crop top & maxi skirt. It was perfect, until the temperature dropped to 55 degrees by 6pm. Good thing I had a cardigan just in case.

OOTD: Thai Food & Thrifting

I just realized, my entire outfit today is thrifted.

Bought this cozy knitted sweater for $3.99!
