You've Lost Your Muchness


It's only 39° in Bristol, Rhode Island and I'm curled up under a snowflake blanket enjoying an evening showing of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.  There's something intensely bittersweet about leaving Montreal for the holidays and traveling to see family and friends.  I've spent the last two and a half weeks in North Carolina, New York, and New England running about and enjoying the surprisingly (concerningly?) warm winter.

As the Mad Hatter and crew are enjoying their tea and contemplating words that begin with the letter M, I'm contemplating the ideas of new beginnings that always arrive at the new year.  I've never been a huge fan of new year resolutions - most people don't even fulfill them! Instead of setting specific goals, I believe my goal will to be more comfortable and more creative in my life.  Hopefully this will reflect on this blog and my own personal style.  And hopefully I won't lose my head this coming semester... (ok, enough with the Alice in Wonderland jokes)

Here's some photos from my recent trip to New York City where I spent 48 hours with two of my best friends.  48 hours jam-packed with shopping in Soho, dining in midtown, sipping coffee in Brooklyn, and twisting my ankle as I ran through Penn Station.  That last part I could have done without.

OOTD: Oversized Stripes

Image
Montreal has finally experienced the inevitable drop in temperature (one of many) that signals the beginning of fall.  During the summer, it's not necessarily colder in this city than it is in New York or Boston - but once September rolls around, the temperature takes a nice swan dive into autumn.  Not the dreadful dive it takes in November, though.  That is when Montreal suddenly becomes ten degrees colder than my hometown in Rhode Island and remains that way throughout the winter (unless it's twenty degrees colder, in that case please kill me.) So, I decided to try out this outfit combination the other day thinking that I wouldn't freeze my legs off.  I mean, they stayed on.  But I was itching to go home and throw on some pants, or like twenty blankets.  I have a low tolerance for these kinds of things - don't ask me why I moved to Canada. Speaking of my legs, were they always that white? (thanks, mom and dad) Also, can I just say - why is it that when oth

OOTD: September Sun

Image
It's good to be home.  I'm happy to be back in familiar surroundings and settled into my old apartment that I left for the Summer.  Being back with Isaac is obviously a plus as well.  I've actually been back for a while but unfortunately came down with a terrible cold so the first days here were spent in bed binge watching Netflix and sipping tea.  Anybody else really into the TV show Gotham right now? Today was absolutely gorgeous as well so Isaac and I ran out to do some errands and shot some photos while out.  Also! I've decided to start vlogging (just like...every other blogger out there at this point) so stay tuned for my weekly vlog! It'll be coming out sometime next week.  I'm also spending time rearranging my apartment a bit so I'm hoping to get out some content related to that soon. I'm totally loving this outfit too right now.  This shirt is vintage and needed some major TLC (missing buttons, a few holes) but I was able to fix it up and it

Best Cross Body Bags for Fall (That Won't Break the Bank)

Image
Net-a-Porter has just kindly informed me that cross body bags are in.  Fantastic! I own several of these, and now I have an excuse to buy more! I click through to the ~shop the editorial~ section and see a glorious array of Gucci to Loeffler Randall and Fendi.  With much reluctance, I update my preferences to price low to high, because who am I kidding, I don’t have hundreds to drop on that Gucci bag.  No matter how beautiful it is, or how perfectly it would go with that one dress I own.  Okay, page is loading up.  My eyes slowly roll to the back of my head as I am reminded that in the world of Net-a-Porter, cute cross body bags do not exist below the $300 mark.  You know what does exist below the $300 mark? Like, hundreds of cheap yet acceptable bottles of white wine. I do not have $300 to spend on a bag, and if you’re like me then maybe you’re frustrated by the desire to obtain gorgeous bags without..the means.  My disappointing cross body bag encounter sent me scavenging the i
