Winter White / Frayed Denim


Wearing: Nordstrom vest, F21 denim and shoes

Denim has been an essential for me this season thus far, be it distressed or high rise. If these jeans could speak, they would most definitely attest to my obsession because I have worn them outright. Only a year I ago I was refusing to wear jeans on a daily basis and, now, I cannot help but constantly roam sites for the latest denim styles. My favorite aspect of this pair of jeans are the frayed bottoms. Raw hems have become a fixation of mine recently and it has taken a whole lot of will power to keep from snipping off the hems of every pair of jeans I own. I paired them with this comfy, white v-neck and threw over this snow white vest; the contrast between the blue denim and all white top-half seals the outfit in my opinion.

Shades of Cool


Wearing: SheInside sweater, Topshop top, American Apparel pants, Adidas sneakers, Asos purse, Quay sunglasses, Zara necklace

In my attempt to steer away from wearing blacks and grays , I have quickly adopted an affection towards blue tones. Be it navy or pastel blue, you best believe that it will wind up in my closet. These pants from American Apparel and powder blue crop top from Topshop are a prime example. Because the weather was verging on bi-polar on this particular New York day, this long-lined sweater was the perfect option to throw over. To top everything off my superstar's were a no-brainer, whenever I am in doubt of what shoes to wear these babies always seem to be a go-to.

Suitable Sweats

AWxHM and Uniqlo

Because the urban-sport trend has been going strong for quite some time, it seemed inevitable to fade out sometime soon. But, thanks to two widely acclaimed designers, this trend is clearly not moving anywhere fast. Alexander Plokhov launched a collection for Uniqlo titled "Urban Comfort" this September and as you are probably familiar with-most likely thanks to your Instagram feed-Alexander Wang for H&M will be coming out early November. Plokohv's collection reinvents the concept of loungewear by creating sweatpants with cool cuts and sweatshirts featuring high necks. Socially acceptable sweatshirts? What could be better? While Wang still pays homage to the sport trend through a colorless (color) palette, leggings and shirts plastered with "Wang" on the front and puffer jackets (hey, even a sports bra was thrown into the mix). Congratulations. Your gym attire is now Wang-ified.
