Room Tour

           

All the sheets and pillows on my bed are from Shabby Chic. I love that countryside look! 

          

I use a Kindle and an iPad for reading. This handmade mask is from a mask shop in Venice. It reminds me of my trip to the Mediterranean! 

          

This rose lamp is made from scrap velvet and lucite. I found it at the Melrose Flea Market; it was such a good find!

           

My favorite thing to do is read, so I have always have a stack of classics. I love a good candle, so my Jo Malone one is a must. The photo is of my mom walking me in a carriage across Abbey Road in London! 

           

Perfume is really important to me because I think it represents parts of your personality. My favorite one is the Chloé!

These vintage bags, the backpack from Gucci and the bag from Balenciaga, are amazing and they add flare to my dresser. 

I have a collection of black and white photographs my dad took while he lived in Paris. I love how they give my room character and make the white walls look chic. 

My clear cube is a life saver for makeup; it stores all my lipsticks, shadows, and mascaras in organized clear shelves. 

I have a collection of antique floral teacups from a flea market in London; they're all from the Victorian era. 

                 

My bookcase is my favorite piece of furniture in my room; each shelf has a different style and it took my three weeks to finish decorating it! It incorporates antique jars, teacups, novels, and photographs.

balenciaga boots

These are the coolest boots in the history of the world. They are masculine, feminine, tough, chic, luxe, and down-and-dirty. I would wear them with everything from cuffed boyfriend jeans to a shimmery silver drop waist dress. Love these!

For fall, my favorite thing to do with jewelry is layer, layer, layer. During summer, I wear delicate daisy pendants on white gold chains, but for fall, it's all about piling on thick, chunky, gold. I love to paint my nails a dark oxblood red to make the jewelry stand out. First, put on a dainty pearl bracelet. Then add a chunkier leather wrist-band bracelet. Balance out all that gold with black vintage diamonds. A simple gold chain-loop bracelet tones the look down. Lastly, add a big, standout, look-at-me gold watch! (not blinged-out, or it looks tacky.) Then, I slip on two knuckle rings, one thin diamond and one thicker pinky ring that has my initial on it. You can dress this look down with a denim shirt or dress it up with a slinky LBD. There you go- a perfect fall look! 

Valentino DIY

 

I love Valentino and this past summer in France, I bought my first pair of Valentino motorcycle boots! They were from the Noir black Capsule collection, and I almost died when I tried them on. Anyway, I wanted to recreate a look from the Fall 2013 collection, so I layered a black cashmere Henri Bendel shirt over a chiffon Betsey Johnson dress, and then topped it off with a backwards black cashmere cropped sweater. For the model Julia's hair, I braided her locks and then used a black headband for the finishing touch. I lined Julia's eyes with black gel liner to get the 'doll' look. Then, the boots! This look is something I would wear to parties on the weekends!

I love Brandy Melville, and their dresses are adorable! I paired this babydoll dress with a bomber jacket from Miu Miu and boots from Fiorentini and Baker. To top it off, I wore a dream catcher Free People necklace. I would wear this outfit wandering around Italy!

the perfect leather jacket: AllSaints

A leather jacket is essentially the definition of a girl's personality. It describes her mood, the color in which she feels most confidant, and her character. I have three leather jackets that all individually exemplify my personality in different ways. The first jacket represents how I have a youthful, energetic personality, because of the versatile hood that makes an outfit more laid back. I would wear boyfriend jeans, a colorful, flowy tank, and high top converse with this jacket. The second jacket represents my modernistic take on fashion and how I'm always looking for a new and more exciting way to do things. I would wear this jacket with white jeans, ankle booties, and a ripped band t-shirt. The last jacket is the epitome of my personality in the sense that it is comfortable, stylish, luxe, wearable, and tough. It is the perfect leather jacket. I would wear anything and everything in my wardrobe with this jacket; it looks good with everything from dresses to patterned jeans to ripped shorts. My favorite thing about a leather jacket is how it really can tell a random person that you pass on the street how you define yourself.I love all my leather jackets, because they make me feel confidant and stylish.
