whew... it's spring break! that means late night star gazing, drives with no destination, get togethers with favorites from home, and way...way too much delicious food. there may still be patches of snow on the ground here in massachusetts, but that didn't stop the sun from glistening all day yesterday, which allowed for a little spontaneous outfit shoot on one of my favorite roads in newbury. surrounded by this riverside town's breathtaking marshes, this winding road reminds me of summer, all year long. it's the route to boat rides, beach barbecues, and always offers the most mesmerizing view of a fiery sunset on the ride home.
it's been a little dream of mine for a while now to take this blog in a new direction, and one of those ways is to incorporate a little of my personal style. fashion is such a large part of my life, with this may marking my graduation from the fashion institute in new york city. so i've been thinking...why not share a little of my closet and style mentality? so here it goes... (fingers crossed!)

top: h&m (buffalo exchange) jacket: h&m (old) pants: adriano goldschmeid (buffalo exchange) boots: boutique in florence, italy
with high price tags on every street corner of nyc, i decided to be a little rebellious last week and check out a second-hand clothing store feet from my school. i walked in, and it was game over. within five minutes, my arms were weighed down by trendy tops, sheer tanks, and designer pants. and i'm still in awe over the prices. one-hundred dollars later, i had added a new sparkle to my tired wardrobe. a couple of the pieces i scored were these ag stevie ankle pants and fringe sleeve top...two picks i can effortlessly tie into my closet.

cowboy boots have always been an outfit staple for me (and twin!) they go with anything, and add a casual element to any look that can come off too dressy. my long affair with colored pants is no secret, either.
and twin.... i can't thank you enough for being the superstar behind the camera. you've got a real knack for this ;)
