My life feels like an absolute mess; my days are filled with errands, packing, and organizing while my nights are spent saying bye to some of my best friends. Today finally felt like my day off so I decided to go on a more casual route with my outfit. I have been itching to go shopping but know that the shopping in New York City is not even close to comparable. My wallet and closet will thank me for waiting.

The Perfect Blazer

I'm not one to wear blazers. For my petite 5'1 frame they always seemed like I am a little child wearing a blazer that is two times too big for me. If that wasn't the case it then look liked I was trying too hard to be a business professional (something that I am not - not yet at least). Is was never something that I would grab to throw over a top or dress until I found this one from DVF. The style fit me perfectly and the silk jersey makes it both casual or dressy. Finally a (lonely) blazer for my closet.

New Year, New Hair

I've been itching to chop all of my hair off for a while now, but I have never had the courage to go through with it. The weather pushed me to face my fears saying goodbye to my dead hair and leaving me with smooth, light hair. While picking my cut options I channeled Olivia Palermo's new shorter-do and made it my own with some long angles and layers. I do miss my long locks, but for now I am having fun with my shorter hair.
