t-minus an #ootd

Counting the last couple days of my work contract, the days till Kate's Birthday, for school to start, for August to end and Fall to begin. Trying to savor the last of the summer nights.
Enjoy these sassy photos of me on a rooftop. I should really just invest in a camera.

New tune I'm digging. This and Frank Ocean (duh). All the Frank Ocean

Just my luck an #ootd

And of course, after I shoot Michelle, Kate and then Sierra's outfit pictures and begin to get some of mine, it starts to rain. Also, bad idea going near industrial irons after a long day when you're tired and stressed, I now have a swollen hand and a damp scarf.

On Wednesdays an #ootd

Today was long. Mass Manufacturing class was even longer. Sewing tech samples are an ongoing battle. At least I could hide under my cape.

Boots, XXI Forever

Earlier this month I helped out with the 1st yr Fashion Design Orientation at my Uni. I wanted to keep it simple and comfy because I was going to be moving around all day doing different activities. I also went with a very simple face, just clean and fresh!

Watch it

Marc by Marc Jacobs Baker 36.5MM

Michael Kors Silver Color Stainless Steel Blair Glitz

The Marc Jacobs one is amazing daytime/night casual watch. It's light, it's soft and you can practically wear it with anything. The Michael Kors one is much heavier, it can make an outfit look more put together, more expensive and more glam. It is pretty heavy, so make sure your wrist can hold it up. It's fabulous and compliments any arm candy that you wish to pair with it. I feel like the Marc Jacobs looks better with out any other jewelry on the wrists but that's just my personal taste.

Are you guys into watches? What's your favorite?

ASOS Shirt Dress, XXI booties 

I found this ASOS shirt dress at Beacon's Closet in New York (an amazing designer-esque, discount thrift store). I bought it for a couple different reasons, uno being that I loved the color and deux being I've never owned anything from ASOS. But I must say, without high heeled shoes this outfit looks very incomplete. The size is in a small but it kinda fits strange. I was impulsive when I bought it that's for sure. As I was saying, with some booties this dress/thing looks great. It was somewhere between 18 and 21 dollars and I just didn't want to pass it up.

I'm actually tossing these shoes out at the end of summer because they are SO scuffed. Really, I could write a tragedy on how much these shoes were my night and day. I basically out wore them in 2 years, and i'm not much of a shoe lady, but I think 2 years for a pair of XXI shoes is pretty damn good. XXI booties are always comfy and the perfect height. I've owned a couple pairs before this one and they have all lasted a great amount of time. These boots were all that I wore, I need to expand my horizons this year. Maybe even invest!

Any brands you recommend for good boots like these that are going to last a while?
