Rust and Bone

Skirt and Romper: Urban Outfitters 
Rings: Vintage  Necklace: Forever21
Leather Jacket: H&M
Bag: Urban Outfitters
Scarf: Forever21











After a crazy and ridiculously fun night with my friends, I decided to keep things chill the next day by spending time downtown and taking advantage of the slight warm up near the waterfront in Detroit. The sun was shining in its glorious splendor which was perfect for my full length velvet skirt from Urban Outfitters. I'm completely obsessed with the dark and rich colored pattern and the fit is marvelous- it perfectly frames the body and has such great movement. I decided to pair it with my black lace romper from Urban Outfitters as well- I have such a weakness for lace because it's so feminine and sexy. Adding a couple of vintage rings, my H&M leather jacket, a fringe bag and printed scarf from Forever21 gave me the perfect boho touch. After spending some time near the water, I went and ate at the amazing Grille at Midtown for a 4 cheese grilled cheese sandwich, roasted pepper tomato soup, homemade caesar salad, and calamari. Dessert was spent at my favorite spot Great Lakes Coffee for some delicious espresso and grapefruit cake. I live for little moments that feel so special, whether it's fun times with my friends or finding charming shops and restaurants- It feels all the more great when you do it in style.

She's Lost Control

Coat and Boots: Vintage 



High-waist Cutoff Shorts: Vintage Levis  
Graphic Tee: Urban Outfitters  Flannel: American Apparel 


Rings: Forever21 


Hat: Revolve Clothing
Decided to keep things casual though edgy with my favorite graphic Joy Division tee and vintage Levi cutoff high-waist shorts. Joy Division has to be one of my favorite bands, so raw and innovative, Ian Curtis's voice still gives me chills-their sound will never get old for me. The weather is still harsh here in Michigan so my 100% cashmere vintage coat was perfect to keep me warm. Adding my vintage boots, my Sir Robert flannel plaid shirt from American Apparel, and favorite wide brim velvet hat from Revolve Clothing were just the right touch. In whatever I wear comfort is key, so it's nice to have a stylish look that's also relaxed to go with a chill day. Think I'll spend the evening playing old records and dancing wildly though unapologetically to Joy Division's "Transmission." Nothing like losing yourself in music.

City Wanderer

Coat: Jones New York 


Purse: Vintage Coach  Boots and Skirt: Vintage  
Hat: Revolve Clothing  Belt: Thrifted  Top: Urban Outfitters 

 









There's nothing like spending time Downtown in the city. I'm so obsessed with my new crushed velvet wide brim hat from Revolve Clothing- it's the perfect fit especially for my head and hair, which can be problematic at times. Decided to pair it with my 1950s vintage plaid skirt and boots, while adding a white detailed blouse from Urban Outfitters. I've never really been a fan of velvet or plaid until recent and I love how perfectly they pair together. While downtown, I had to eat at my favorite Thai restaurant, Orchid Thai for clear noodles and spring rolls. Mochas and oatmeal cream pies from the Red Hook for dessert was the perfect way to end a great day.

Dress and Belt: BCBG Max Azria  Boots: Nine West




Necklace: Vintage




Decided to step out this weekend in my maxi high-low dress from BCBG Max Azria which I love! So sexy and comfortable, it perfectly drapes the body and I love the versatilety in how you can dress it up or down. I went for a more edgy look, pairing it with a chunky detailed leather belt and jacket as well as my vintage wide brim hat and bag. Set in one of my favorite locations, the meat packing district, I love the grittiness and old rugged brick buildings. I find myself discovering beauty in almost anything.
