As my birthday approaches I'm starting to get a bit more nostalgic about being home. These photos were taken on my last trip to Biarritz just a little over a month ago. This will be my 2nd year in NY celebrating my b-day....Im excited just a tad sad. 

Took these photos after a day at the beach with Morgane and Fanny.  It's funny how some people you just stay friends with...and you're stuck with them, haha. I've known these ladies as well as all the PM's since I was 14 (yes we have a group name for each other and have had it since we were little...). 

I use to cheat off of Fanny in class and I was an english translator for Morgan when she needed to know a word...she specks perfectly now and is probably even a better speller than me. Leeann was there for me when my mom got into a fight with my principal and almost punched him...(my mom is from Columbia South Carolina....nough said...) 

I'm turning 25 soon, and I don't think I'd be the person I am today without all the friends I've had in my life in from NY to BTZ

A day with Gucci

Dress: Asos, jacket: BB Dakota, shoes: Gucci, bag: Rebecca Minkoff, hat: Rag and Bone

Not long ago I spent the entire day hanging out with Kim & Christine. If you follow me on Instagram you might have been following our "Day with Gucci" adventures. I think the last time I was at the MoMa was back in September, so you can only imagine how excited I was to go again. I should really visit museums more ofter (note to self). What a perfect way to spend a rainy day!

Berlin

Here I am Berlin. I couldn't be any happier or sicker for the matter...apparently being sick is not all in your head it's also in your nose and mouth and ears and back, who knew!?...
Regardless of how many times I've excused myself to blow the Niagara falls out of my nose I'm having an amazing time with Friends. We ended up going out, but calling it an early night (I may or may not have had something to do with that) Emila made me some homemade throat southing tea that worked for a while and Douanne & Alan put on my favorite movie (Harry Potter).
A perfect ending to a first night.
Happy New Year to you all! Follow me on Instagram

{Paris} Bumming around Paris

Outfit: Topshop

I don't see how yesterday could of been any more perfect. I hung out with one of my best friends Alicia. We grew up together in Biarritz..Oh those high school years. She lives in Paris now so of course I made sure to call her as soon as I got here. We talked..okay maybe gossiped a tad about things going on in our old town and I gave her the 411 on my whole life. 

I found so many awesome thrifts stores, bought some gifts for friends back home and insisted that my parents meet me at the Eiffel Tower. It was bitter cold, but worth every second. We ended the night with dinner at a local restaurant near my parents apartment. That night I feel asleep to American Horror Story playing on my laptop (I'm SO obsessed with this show) I leave for Berlin in two days, can't wait to see my friends...I might be going to London to see another friend, who knows. I hope everyone is having an amazing holiday!!

Style and the Gang

Blouse: (x)sml (similar), jacket: Blue life, skirt: American Apparel, coat: F21 (similar), shoes: Nine West, bag: Frye, hat: Rag and Bone, necklace: Vanessa Mooney.

Sorry guys about deleting and posting again I had some problems on my end with the layout. And comments were not coming up etc... 

There is so much to love about these girls. Don't know what I'd do without Bonnie and Claire in New York. I love that we are all so different yet mesh so well together. You'll always find Bonnie in Union square on weekends just soaking in the holiday sprit, when Claire is not being arty farty at Parsons ( haha ) then you'll find her nose deep in a record store and 90% of the time I'm bumming around soho at my favorite coffee spot. Obviously when Nine West  asked us to team up and re- create the Nine and the Gang campaign we were all super stoked.

We wanted to do something a little different, so we decided to style and re-create the sneaker look from the campaign. This style was super fun to play around with, so much room for imagination, plus isn't it nice to step outside of your comfort zone once and a while? I really like how Bonnie found the balance between edgy and feminine while Claire went for a more 90's grunge look, a simple white t-shirt is also my secreat  weapon! I really wanted to compliment the others with my grey tones and leopard jacket and duh I had to pull out the token pencil skirt..I mean who doesn't love a good pencil.
