<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Fall inspirations include a groovy floral dress from twenty-seven names, glittery Dr. Martens derby flats, a deep midnight blue polish from J.Hannah, and snapshots from a recent-ish studio visit at Catbird HQ.</span></i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Sometimes all it takes is a creative spark to dig you out of a rut. Trust me, you're not alone if the shift in seasons has left you feeling a bit disoriented. This "clinically depressed fall girl" longs for nothing but endless sunshine and sundresses… I'll refrain from <a href="https://twitter.com/NY1weather/status/1179155297706881024" target="_blank">calling the next six months trash</a>, but not NOT saying it either. <br /><br />< I'm surviving. Everything is <i>fine</i>. > <br /><br />As I struggle to find my footing in this season of change, I find myself dreaming up visions of fuzzy teddy fleece and heavy-duty stompers. A roadtrip to upstate New York or Vermont for spontaneous apple picking adventures wouldn't hurt either. <br /><br />To mark the return of fall, I've curated a mini-moodboard reflecting my current color obsessions, a new-to-me New Zealand label, and hopefully a fresh POV to get me through these next few months. <br /><br /><b>That new NEW:</b> Introducing <a href="https://www.twentysevennames.co.nz/" target="_blank">twenty-seven names</a>, an ethically minded brand combining childhood whimsy (a reminder to never grow up) with contemporary styling. (No joke: I now have a newfound appreciation for teaming all my dresses with <a href="https://www.shopbop.com/polka-dot-ankle-socks-ganni/vp/v=1/1515005624.htm" target="_blank">socks</a> + Docs!) The founders Anjali Burnett and Rachel Easting not only have quite the eye for playful prints and feminine silhouettes but their creative direction is pretty spot-on, too. I stumbled upon the label on IG and instantly fell in love with their ethos. Peep away at a few of my fall favorites below: <br /><br /><img height="480" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/qSFz35rg_uH2gYmf36U0exir5_jQW9TD7nNwIE5kSEutWKEftc0vJK7ukRfjjxcOKjSIkkzam-lSZoROZPFAQ2WnHTcJshE9EBnJPO4Dfj7gDwRpAGgQegJ2ae-kqgXu7NWX-wR9" width="640" /><b> </b></span></span><br />

I have my favorite sorbet spot, my favorite hotel rooftop, my favorite place to stockpile sheet masks, my favorite slice of pizza, etc. etc. etc. I honestly struggled with how to make this series a reality — I debated doing individual trip recaps vs. in-depth profiles of shops and businesses. Ultimately, I decided that bite-size roundups would work best.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><i>This must be the place. </i><br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">...my initial thought upon stepping foot into <a href="https://www.urbanbackyardnyc.com/" target="_blank">Urban Backyard</a>. Sure, I had seen snapshots on IG of this magical coffee shop located in Nolita, but photos simply don't do it justice. I arrived bright and early on a Monday morning (8 a.m. sharp!) to meet a friend, so we pretty much had first dibs on seating. Take note: The small "cozy" space adds to the zen atmosphere. But perhaps, it's the houseplants and adorable embroidery hoops lining the walls that entice you to linger a wee bit longer. As I like to say: "come for the cute aesthetic, and then stay for the succulent cupcakes." I sampled a few macarons (lemon + passion fruit) before moving onto a flourless chocolate cupcake (which was divine). The cushioned wooden futon couch accompanied by a goldenrod pillow beckoned for company, as did the open window. Last, but not least, it's the outdoor seating area in front — a dreamy tiled oasis, complete with gorgeous blooms and "cold water for fur babies" — that make passersby pause for a pic.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Bonus points for Urban Backyard's sustainable initiative. They have biodegradable hay straws, y'all. According to Yelp, they also offer a discount to customers who bring their own cup. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Pencil shops are rare. Pencil shops with *secret* sticker rooms are even more of a rarity. While I've known about <a href="https://cwpencils.com/" target="_blank">CW Pencil Enterprise</a> for what feels like an eternity, it wasn't until a dreamy (and long overdue) December 2017 visit to their Orchard St. shop that I became a true pencil devotee. ✏️ </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">A little backstory. CWPE was founded by Caroline Weaver, a lifelong pencil aficionado, in November 2014. A brick-and-mortar shop opened shortly thereafter in March 2015. Whenever I'm in the city, I make it a point to pop in, even if it's just to pick up a few Tombow colored pencils or a sheet of stickers. The store itself is an aesthete's dream. Heaps of natural light and a p-e-r-f-e-c-t-l-y curated wall of pencils (over 200 varieties to be exact) make it a Lower East Side gem. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Beyond everyone's trusty yellow No. 2 pencil, you'll find a slew of specialty and novelty pencils (from a baseball scoring set to toothpick-sized heart pencils) — plus notebooks, sharpeners, erasers, and other fun knick-knacks aimed to delight the creative enthusiast in all of us. Did I mention that there's a pencil sample station, complete with a notebook for doodles and notes? Yessss. Cuteness ensues.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Oh and certainly not least... ! My favorite part of the Orchard St. shop just may be the <a href="https://www.cwstickeremporium.com/" target="_blank">CW Sticker Emporium</a>. With so many <i>kawaii</i> Japanese and world-class stickers to choose from, you'll 100 percent feel like a kid in a candy store. I dare you to leave empty-handed.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Scattered all across the city, you'll find a plethora of hip hotel rooftop bars — many of which are charming — but it's not every day you discover a lavish + lush rooftop garden of this size. Enter the <a href="https://www.restorationhardware.com/content/category.jsp?context=Restaurant_NY" target="_blank">RH</a> (aka, Restoration Hardware) Rooftop Restaurant, located in the historic Meatpacking District, a mere stone's throw away from The High Line and the Whitney. The perfect spot for people watching, grabbing a bite to eat (come early, as they don't take reservations!!!) or sipping rosé. I know what you're thinking… "but isn't that a luxury home-furnishings store?" My thoughts exactly! Part swanky showroom, part gallery, part restaurant — no detail goes unnoticed as you take the excursion from the first floor to the 🔝. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">While I can't comment on the food — we were just checking out the space for the first time — the atmosphere is quite lovely. It's fancy enough for after-hours, but relaxed enough if you're just there to soak in the views and hang out with friends. The scenery, no joke, is "inspired by the great classical gardens of Europe." And they don't rush you out, so you can truly enjoy your experience. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">On level three, you'll find a Barista Bar (espresso + wine). Not at all an inconvenience for me (I don't drink), but just FYI, there's no bar service on the rooftop wine terrace, so you'll have to purchase your drink here and <i>then</i> take it upstairs. 🤷🏻♀️ </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Paging Alyssa Coscarelli, paging Alyssa Coscarelli... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Who's that girl? She fancies coffee shops in NoLIta + gallery hops on the LES. She's a burgeoning fashionista who favors emerging designers (hey, Sandy Liang, <i>hey</i>) and absurdly cool under-the-radar labels. She's <i>influencing</i>, but not necessarily an influencer. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">K, cool, now that we've got that straight… behold, ze dress of summer (this <a href="https://www.sandyliang.info/collections/dresses/products/apple-dress-1" target="_blank">puff-sleeve number</a> may be a close second in my book) courtesy of Sandy Liang. All hail "Chinatown grandmas" everywhere. I'd RSVP "a million times 'yes'!" to the white daisy print and easy-breezy silo — best accompanied by '90s-inspired jellies or <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/4kTg" target="_blank">designer Teva-like sandals</a> for a normcore vibe come the weekend. Bring forth a hit of sweet nostalgia with one of The Last Line's layerable BFF pendant necklaces. Angular pink glitter frames over teeny-tiny <i>Matrix</i> frames any day, please. Finishing touches include a minty fresh manicure and a vegetable-tanned leather daypack that successfully marries form and function. For the savvy adventurer, may I recommend a LOST iN travel guide? Vienna waits for you.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">H to the ello… I'm back. Without being overly chatty, I've missed this little corner of the internet. From the onset, I've always had a "no pressure" approach to blogging. It's supposed to be <i>fun</i> after all. A side hustle that triggers creativity and allows me to share my latest fashion obsessions, outfits, and travels. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I honestly couldn't have picked a more opportune time to mark my return to blogging. I low-key LIVE (insert praise hands emoji) for the summer months — <i>especially</i> the month of May. Just yesterday, I arrived at the conclusion that a blissful 62 degrees + ☀️ is the quintessential weather situation. Not too cold, not too balmy, but just right. Even though it's technically still spring, I can't help but reach for all my favorite summertime frocks, sandals, and straw bags (eep!). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />During a recent excursion to Washington, DC's <a href="https://www.wharfdc.com/" target="_blank">District Wharf</a>, I stumbled upon a mural that just screamed 'gram me. I also discovered Blue Bottle Coffee (my new fave) and ventured to the top of <a href="https://www.12storiesdc.com/" target="_blank">12 Stories</a> for rooftop views — accompanied by $8 fries, no less (paying for the view, y'all!). Milk Bar fans? There's one too, in addition to a <a href="https://dolcezzagelato.com/" target="_blank">Dolcezza Gelato</a> and <a href="https://www.districtdoughnut.com/" target="_blank">District Doughnut</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>The outfit: </b>Let's talk about THIS dress. It's Free People… a little bit more boho than my taste, but it's become a summertime staple (peep the sky blue embroidered details). Equal parts easy-breezy and effortless, it's the type of dress that you can toss on and feel like a million bucks. I accessorized with a millennial pink straw circle tote from Clare Vivier (<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/3VmS" target="_blank">similar</a>) and strappy coral sandals. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">We May'd it. Not only is it finally beginning to feel more and more like spring (err, summer), but it's also a bit of a whirlwind weekend with graduation (not for me, but it's that time!), the Kentucky Derby and Cinco de Mayo all overlapping. <br /><br />It took long enough, but I've finally abandoned the sheer nude tights for my bare legs. And with that, I celebrate the arrival of wrap dress + juice box season. Seeing as to how it's been 4ever since I've done an #OOTD post, I'm doing a quick rundown of one of my most recent lewks. The good news: The wrap dress in this post is still available (albeit, there's a limited size run) and it's on major sale. #WinWin</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIdqHjIc1EHePy9pOFUHT_PXwAkLDDsWgWOGnzgupOtfM85DXiFehtTIbq8vyhxb3hBsdkys15SnoVHuTJpepeiI8EC9b59u5DfAzOigc0DsRLowfoLN1CwNXi5MdDVOGhwyQHfd1NPLM/s640/urban-outfitters-wrap-dress.jpg" width="640" /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /><b>Ze dress: </b>Upon stumbling across this <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IFTX" target="_blank">long-sleeved ruffle wrap dress</a> at Urban Outfitters, I knew I had to at least try it on. Despite the somewhat mixed reviews online, I actually loved it at first try-on — with a few exceptions. As many have noted, the fabric is a bit on the flimsy side and will need to be re-ironed with each wear. I'll have to check, but I believe I purchased this dress in a size small, so it appears to run TTS (most customers said that it runs large though, so be sure to keep that in mind). With it being a wrap dress, it does take a bit of adjusting to keep everything in place, but it wasn't a deal-breaker. To avoid any potential wardrobe malfunctions, I knotted the wrap front skirt and added a set of <a href="https://www.garmentweight.com/" target="_blank">Dress Downs</a> (aka, reusable garment weights), should it be extra windy outside. What else? While the daisy motif is super cute, beware that it's only printed on one side which cheapens the dress a bit, IMO. I didn't find the dress clingy — if anything, I found it extremely comfortable and perfect for the balmy temps. Oh! My fave part just may be the subtle ruffled bell sleeves. Cue the heart eyes. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>The lewk: </b>On this particular outing, I kept it simple by styling my navy UO wrap dress with <a href="http://www.emuaustralia.com/us/All-Footwear/Lavinia/W11479.html?dwvar_W11479_colourName=ROSE%20GOLD#q=silver&start=1" target="_blank">metallic gold oxford flats</a> and a seafoam green crossbody bag. In case you were wondering: Trader Joe's has a v good <a href="https://www.traderjoes.com/FearlessFlyer/Article/3066" target="_blank">lemonade juice box</a> (I'm also partial to their apple juice.)<br /><br /><b>The verdict:</b> Whether you're looking for a carefree summer dress or want to test-drive the wrap dress trend on a budget, I would 10/10 recommend this <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/IFTX" target="_blank">UO ruffled stunner</a> that's currently available in three different colorways. For just under $20, this dress would be great for an outdoor sporting event, especially if you only plan on getting one wear out of it. Pro tip: Be sure to DL the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/urban-outfitters/id358821736?mt=8" target="_blank">Urban Outfitters app</a> for additional savings (maybe) or at the very least to rack up points with their somewhat new-ish loyalty program.<br /><br /><i>Should you want to splurge on a wrap dress (cough, Ganni, cough), I've rounded up a few of my favorites below:</i></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Spring is SO close, yet so far away…</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I can’t believe that I’m admitting this, but I’ve actually been enjoying the cold spell that's been wreaking havoc on most of the east coast. WHO AM I?!?! While I’m a self-proclaimed summer girl through and through, there’s something to be said about the final push of blustery, cold air before spring takes over. (Although, don’t be mistaken, Virginia has become notorious for its unsettled sprinter-like weather.) Not to mention that it legitimately gives me an excuse to reach for all my beloved winter sweaters at least a handful more times. <br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Speaking of #sweaterweather, can we please talk about this happiness-inducing ROYGBIV number? It was an Anthropologie find from a new-to-me brand called <a href="https://www.essentiel-antwerp.com/eu/" target="_blank">Essentiel Antwerp</a>, and it's basically the equivalent of a very stylish security blanket. While the oversized fits gives it a boho-chic feel, it's the <a href="https://www.brit.co/colorful-striped-sweaters-popular-on-instagram/" target="_blank">Instagram-approved rainbow stripes</a> that initially won me over. I kid you not — I can't wear it w/o smiling ear to ear. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>How I styled my trophy sweater:</b> Typically with skinny jeans and smoking slippers, but I've also teamed it alongside a denim zip-front mini and suede ankle boots for a girlier vibe. These snaps were taken post-bomb cyclone craziness, but trust that it was nippy out — hence the need to document this look on two separate outings. <br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I don't know how y'all feel about scrunchies (err, cringe much?), but I'm all about this resurgence trend. Literally the moment I caught wind that <a href="https://www.mansurgavriel.com/collections/scrunchies" target="_blank">Mansur Gavriel</a> was going to be making scrunchies — three words: vintage Italian silk — I knew I was on board. Though a far cry from MG's perfectly elegant and non-fussy styling, my inner '90s kid couldn't turn down the chance to rock an extra AF sequin scrunchie. And so, a high-ponytail, it was. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">It's been a while (to say the least!), but rest assured I haven't abandoned this little corner of the internet! Far from it, actually! When I created this blog, I did so purely with the intent of having a creative outlet to write about fashion and share inspiring tidbits along the way — and thus, that's pretty much eliminated the pressure to constantly have new content up (quality > quantity). Although, don't be mistaken, I really would like to stick to an editorial calendar one of these days…<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Before I get back to sharing my latest #OOTD (I actually have quite a few in the queue) and spotlighting my spring must-haves, I'm doing a rare career-related post. I finally bit the bullet and <a href="https://anjerikawilmer.squarespace.com/" target="_blank">created a portfolio on Squarespace</a> to spotlight my social media work (err, rather, case studies at the moment). As someone who likes to dabble in a lot of things, I found that having one digital portfolio wasn't enough. In addition to an <a href="https://about.me/" target="_blank">about.me</a> page (I prefer it over LinkedIn for networking purposes) and an account on <a href="https://pressfolios.com/" target="_blank">Pressfolios</a> to share my writing clips, I felt that it was time to add a visual portfolio to my repertoire. One in which I could share my personal aesthetic, creative direction and photography style (think: flatlays, doodles from Instagram Stories and stop motion animation).<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Below, I'm sharing five reasons to create a portfolio on Squarespace. Just as a disclaimer: This post is in no way suggesting that Wix, Weebly or any other website builder isn't as worthy. I'm just going off of my personal experience and what has worked for me. :)<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>1. Intuitive and Easy to Use: </b>Three words:<b> </b>No coding necessary. While other website builders may require a bit of a learning curve, Squarespace is easy to use from the get-go. Unless you're savvy with html, this is a MAJOR selling point in my book. Spend some time exploring all the features and customization options, and you'll 10/10 get the results you're looking for. And if not, there's always Google and Squarespace support, amirite? <br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>2. Professional Looking Templates: </b>Prior to using Squarespace, I often found myself feeling uninspired by the lack of aesthetically pleasing templates. They were either too cookie-cutter and bland or not dynamic enough to support the variety of content I was hoping to be sharing. Not only are all the <a href="https://www.squarespace.com/templates" target="_blank">templates</a> on Squarespace SUPER pretty to look at and easily customizable, but there's literally oodles and oodles to choose from. Seeing as to how there's a category for everything from "art & design" to "community & non-profit" to "travel & lifestyle," you really can't go wrong.<br /><br />I ended up installing the <a href="https://jasper-demo.squarespace.com/" target="_blank">Jasper template</a> (you can read about it below) due to its clean and minimalist aesthetic. I like how the landing page features hoverable photos that function as teasers to individual "case studies." It also included an about page and moodboard, which I really appreciated. </span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>Showcase your work and engage potential clients with <b>Jasper</b>. This portfolio template creates an enticing visual summary of your projects with a dynamic grid-style homepage. Page animations, scaling fonts, and page headers display your work in a bold and immersive way. The special Project Pages arrange images, titles, and captions into elegant layouts, giving your visitors a story-driven experience.</i></span></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>3. Caters to Creative Types:</b> Whether you're an artist, a photographer, a freelance writer or any creative type, Squarespace caters to the design-centric crowd with their dynamic page designs (infinite scroll, full screen + hi-res photos, etc.) and slideshow interface that is excellent for showing off your work. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /><b>4. Integrated Social Media Feeds + Tons of Add-Ons:</b> Those of you with a background in social media, PR and marketing will especially appreciate the social media integration feature. (Connect your accounts, add social media icons to the footer of your page and/or embed your Instagram feed directly onto your site). Being a visual enthusiast, I like to think that my snaps on Instagram serve as a visual representation of my whimsical nature and creative spirit. It's a way for potential employers and clients to get to know me prior to even connecting. <br /><br /><b>5. Just the Thing to Launch Your Side Hustle:</b> So you're ready to offer your services — now what? Squarespace <i>could</i> be the first step to bringing your dream career or side hustle to fruition. Perhaps you're launching an online shop (yes, there are <a href="https://www.squarespace.com/templates/online-stores" target="_blank">templates</a> for that!) or are in the process of creating your own social media consultancy business. Or maybe you're a self-taught photographer or freelance graphic designer looking to get the ball rolling. When you're branching out, getting your name out there is everything. Each Squarespace subscription includes a domain name (aka, the name of your website), so be sure to pick something that's SEO-friendly. Of course, you'll also want to add a contact page — something that's very easily achievable with Squarespace's <a href="https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206566737-Using-the-Form-Block" target="_blank">form block</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />**Bonus: Pssst: If you're a student with an academic email address, <a href="https://www.squarespace.com/students/" target="_blank">you can receive 50% off your first full year of Squarespace</a>. While Squarespace isn't a free website builder, I am so, SO pleased with the outcome.

<span style="font-size: small;">What if I told you that your lifelong dream of becoming a beret-wearing Parisian girl is finally about to be realized? Well, almost, anyway. Meet <a href="http://www.sezane.com/us" target="_blank">Sézane</a>: the first French fashion brand to function entirely online. What started out as an e-commerce store (formerly known as Les Composantes) for repurposed vintage threads quickly turned into a business plan for founder Morgane Sézalory. In 2013, Sézane was born. The ceaselessly chic brand releases four capsule collections per year — with femme blouses, silk dresses and tailored outerwear taking center stage. I imagine the quintessential Sézane girl being a cross between UK blogger <a href="https://whatoliviadid.com/" target="_blank">Olivia Grace</a> (isn't her polished tomboy style to die for?) and that of Parisian prepster, <a href="https://www.modeandthecity.net/" target="_blank">Daphne Moreau</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>"A reflection of the times, of elegance, of real life."</i></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">During my most recent trip to NYC, I had the pleasure of visiting L'Appartement New York (Sézane's first stateside location, natch) and can attest that it's just as elegant/charming/cozy as you'd imagine. Between the complimentary coffee + treats from <a href="https://www.mamannyc.com/" target="_blank">Maman</a> and the curated bookshelves (displaying the most dreamy selection of heeled pumps and satchels), this Parisian boutique located in the heart of Nolita doesn't fail to bring a hint of <i>je ne sais quoi</i> to the city that never sleeps. Take it from me — the storefront especially dazzles at night. I was fortunate enough to stop in during the holidays and it was enchanting. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Sometimes an outfit inspires the venue for blog post shoots or sometimes vice versa. In lieu of my traditional spots — a random street alley, an exposed brick wall, a charming stoop in Georgetown — I had the perfect backdrop for this particular #OOTD in mind. For those who aren't familiar with the Charlottesville area, the <a href="https://www.ixartpark.com/" target="_blank">IX Art Park</a> functions as a public-space-turned-art-park located just minutes away from the downtown mall. There are murals to be admired, restaurants and cute coffee (and cupcake!) shops to be enjoyed, in addition to concerts and events for the community. <br /><br />Can I just say that once again, Madewell came through with the quintessential cropped sweatshirt? It's the type of pullover you reach for without hesitation and somehow still look the definition of ~effortless~ chic. Team it with a snap-front denim mini or frayed hem jeans for a uniform that says "trying, but not trying too hard." Y'all know that's what I'm here for. My only complaint — and it's a minor one — is that Vienna wasn't included in the grand tour of cities featured. Womp, womp. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Now onto the details. Between my *wink* mani (which I'm still obsessed with) and assortment of pretty rings, it's the itty-bitty add-ons that really make this look my own. If you're looking for a streamlined timepiece besides Daniel Wellington, allow me to put <a href="https://www.linjer.co/" target="_blank">Linjer</a> on your radar. As of lately, the brand's minimalist rose/gold watch has been in heavy rotation (it looks stunning with both heavy knits and blouses alike). Throw in my favorite triangle opal ring and stackable kitty ring for instant eye candy. The heart necklace from Ban.do was a last-minute addition that I thought was fitting, given my love for travel (err, more like wanderlust).<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">You might have remembered when I blogged about these exact <a href="http://www.bitte-und-danke.com/2017/05/see-it-want-it-buy-it.html" target="_blank">Comme des Garçons x Converse high-tops</a>
at the beginning of summer. Well, said kicks have since been inducted
into my wardrobe, and they're easily a statement piece in their own
right. I especially love wearing them with denim skirts, which I've done
here for a high-impact look that requires minimal effort.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Fall, as we know it, is knocking on our door. The leaves are changing. Snaps of apple orchards and weekend excursions to the pumpkin patch have slowly been taking over my Insta feed. The only thing missing? In lieu of fall weather, we've been experiencing a bit of an Indian summer here lately. Although, to be fair, Virginia is known for its notoriously mild October temps.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Lemme tell you, these vintage Levi's cutoffs have been the real MVP as of late. Since the onset of summer, I made it my mission to uncover a pair of perfectly broken-in Levi's in a light wash with minimal distressing. (See inspiration a la the one and only Amy Stone <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BNKz5xOhKrL/?hl=en&taken-by=amy_stone" target="_blank">here</a>.) Don't ask me to explain the difference the between a pair of 501s or 505s (couldn't tell ya if I tried!), but best believe the scavenger hunt to find the quintessential cutoffs is worth it in the end. Seeing as to how I'm new to this thrifting business, I hit up Urban Outfitters' <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/kuyA" target="_blank">Urban Renewal</a> line for some reworked Levi's. I recommend checking in store for best selection and to ensure that you're getting exactly what you bargained for. Each pair is unique, so distressing and washes vary.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Can we talk about this rad striped blouse by College Town for a sec? It also just so happens to be a thrifted piece that I picked up at a local vintage shop. After not purchasing it the first time I saw it (despite trying it on and falling in love with it immediately), I knew it was meant to be when it was still waiting for me on BOGO Wednesday (yes, I also ended up snagging a granny-meets-Alexa-Chung-esque floral embroidered cardigan as well). Between the retro stripes and flouncy collar detail, what's there not to love? </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">As far as throwback trends go, get ready to cringe. And cringe hard. I'm officially back on the scrunchie bandwagon — and I have <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/hair-scrunchie-mansur-gavriel-fall-2017-show-new-york-fashion-week" target="_blank">Mansur Gavriel's fall 2017 presentation</a> to thank for that. Who <i>knew </i>an effortless low-slung pony could look so utterly elegant and, dare I say it, non-fussy? Not I. To add that extra zhoosh factor, I secured my ponytail with an extra AF <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/kuyF" target="_blank">sequin scrunchie</a>, and voila. Man Repeller status = accomplished. </span><br />

Apologies for the unannounced blog hiatus (yes, againnnnn), but my return to the blogging sphere couldn't have come at a better time. While I'm not one to worship the arrival of fall (full-fledged summer girl, right here), I am partial to transitional statement pieces that double for the nippy mornings and balmy afternoons that often characterize September/October. Be it a ceaselessly chic denim topper or a pair of lust-worthy calf-hair ballerinas, I'm rounding up a few autumnal staples in the latest installment of "the list." Happy shopping :)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">If you know me at all, then you’re well aware of my love affair with New York City. In fact, I just returned from my annual summer trip (and may or may not be plotting a return visit as we speak…), so the timing of this post couldn’t be more fitting. Today, I want to put <a href="https://www.modernmapart.com/" target="_blank">Modern Map Art</a> on your radar — a company that reimagines city street maps into contemporary wall prints, iPhone cases, you name it. <br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">One of Modern Map Art’s city prints could be the newest addition to your gallery wall <i>or</i> it could be the *perfect* gift for a BFF who’s currently living out her post-graduate dreams in a new city. Study abroad in Barcelona, Spain or Paris, France? There’s a map for that! Don’t worry, I’ve already checked and there’s even a print for <a href="https://www.modernmapart.com/products/vienna-austria-street-map-poster" target="_blank">Vienna, Austria</a>. <3 </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">The folks over at Modern Map Art generously sent over one of their <a href="https://www.modernmapart.com/products/new-york-city-ny-street-map-poster?variant=32034238339" target="_blank">8x10 NYC map prints</a> ($29.99), and I honestly couldn’t be more pleased with the presentation of the museum-quality matte poster. The design of the map itself is unique in that the print showcases highways, waterways, major landmarks and mass transit system lines (you really have to get out the magnifying glass to scope out all the minuscule details!). As far as customization options go, you have your pick of size (from 8x10 to 24x36) and color (I prefer the black/white, but you could go crazy with navy/orange if that’s more your aesthetic). Don’t see your city represented? Modern Map Art will work with you on a custom order to make your vision a reality.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">What to expect? Speedy shipping and safe delivery (your print will be placed in a tube for crease-free travels). Not only does my NYC print appear exactly as photographed online, but it has the feel of a commissioned print. AKA, it’s not something you’re going to stumble across at just any old street fair. While I still need to find a frame and matting for it, I imagine that my print will look super sleek in a minimalist <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/e3Sw" target="_blank">black lacquer gallery frame</a>. Speaking of which, the map print of your choice would be ideal for a curated gallery wall (you wouldn’t believe how many NYC-themed prints I’ve accumulated over the years!), an office or even a college dorm. </span><br />

Not by a longshot. In fact, the noticeably cooler temps this week have served as a reminder that I’m a full-time summer girl through and through. #TeamIceCream <br /><br />That said, Madwell’s fall/winter ‘17 lookbook was too g-dang good not to share. There were three looks in particular that stuck out to me (AKA, that I would buy and proceed to wear in a heartbeat if I had the unlimited funds to do so). Peep ‘em below and let me know which outfits (see <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/eF9j" target="_blank">full preview</a> here) have you feeling all weak in the knees. I digress. </span><br />

Amirite or amirite?! Truth be told, my ideal late-summer, pre-fall uniform would look a little somethin' somethin' like this — give or take some ankle boots or pretty ballerinas. While the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/eLTS" target="_blank">making faces pullover sweater</a> and accompanying flouncy polka dot skirt err on the romantic-femme side, it’s the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/eLT9" target="_blank">oversized black jean jacket</a> that lends just the right amount of tough-girl edge to an otherwise sophisticated look. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Ooh-la-la is right. And here we have the perfect juxtaposition between Parisian <i>It</i>-girl and sleek modernist.

I recently discovered the Swedish brand through Instagram, so it seems quite fitting that Madewell is now carrying their <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/eLTF" target="_blank">Mosebacke Raincoat</a>. I imagine that I would reach for it rain or shine, on-duty or off. And can we please talk about those cognac-hued Chelsea boots masterfully styled alongside striped socks (take note of how they peek out just a smidge)? WANT. NEED. For the sake of my wallet, it’s a good thing fall’s not here yet. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Also, side note: Are band-aids the new accessory du jour or did this model actually take a tumble?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Side note #2:<b> </b>I was at the Bloomingdale's in SoHo last week and had the chance to try on a Stutterheim jacket (see low-quality pic of me slouching above), and let’s just say it was love at first sight. As far as sizing goes, I noticed that it seemed to run a bit large (the x-small or xx-small would probs be my ideal fit). Not sure if the sizing of the Stutterheim raincoats at Madewell are TTS or not, but thought I’d share.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">YOU GUYS (all caps to get your attention)!! I’m pumped to finally be sharing this #OOTD with you. Every summer, there tends to be a rotation of dresses (some old, some new) that I gravitate toward for a slew of outings. You could say this lovely Free People frock is one of ‘em. Call me overly sentimental, but something tells me that this is a dress that I’ll look back at fondly for years (and years) to come. Yes, it’s obviously super femme and the definition of festi-cool — I think I could actually see myself frolicking in a field of wild daisies for a Free People-esque shoot — but there’s a certain <i>je ne sais quoi</i> quality about it that speaks volumes about my personal style these days. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Admittedly, the choker-neck style (it’s still growing on me!) and exaggerated sleeves were a smidge outside my comfort zone, but you only embrace your inner flower child once — amirite?! I proceeded to layer it over a <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/dyzD" target="_blank">lovely lace bralette</a> and toss on my go-to huaraches from Madewell for a considerably boho lewk. Other details to love: namely <i>that</i> airy open back (keep scrollin’ to see the details), the subtle pleats and of course the sweet floral print. <br /><br />Speaking of outfit snapshots, I started out at the tennis court before venturing downtown for additional action shots. Fellow bloggers (and aesthetes alike), take note: Tennis courts make for a v aesthetically pleasing backdrop. I could photograph the crisp white lines and blue/green asphalt (color palette of my <i>dreams</i>) for days. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">With July whizzing by, I thought I’d share a glimpse of a recent weekend that I spent exploring Asheville, North Carolina. In short, Asheville had a lot of character. Despite only being in town for roughly 48-ish hours, I was able to peep the downtown scene and check off a new place on my non-existent travel bucket list. (Note to self: It’s ‘bout time that I make one.) Keeping in mind my brief stay, I’ve compiled a visual photo diary of some of my fave snaps — namely, pretty buildings, street art and a v aesthetically pleasing dessert spot that brought much happiness to my soul. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I won’t touch too much on shopping, but I <i>did</i> swing by the <a href="http://www.shopashevilleoutlets.com/" target="_blank">J.Crew outlet store</a> where I managed to score a pair of Stubbs & Wootton smoking slippers for a fraction of their original selling price (can’t wait to wear ‘em this fall!). Besides an assortment of clothing boutiques scattered in downtown Asheville — not to mention an Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters — the <a href="http://www.historicbiltmorevillage.com/" target="_blank">Biltmore Village</a> is a shopping destination with retailers like Brooks Brothers and (another) J.Crew as well as smaller independent boutiques (Lilly Pulitzer devotees should check out Palm Village). <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Another architectural gem I stumbled across was Asheville’s <a href="https://www.grovearcade.com/" target="_blank">Grove Arcade</a>, an indoor mall that’s just as elegant on the outside as the inside. Bonus points, ‘cuz the skies were extra blue the day I was there making for some seriously pretty shots.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Fun fact: Asheville’s Jackson Building, rendered in Neo-Gothic style architecture, was western North Carolina’s first skyscraper. Too bad it’s closed to the public — I would’ve loved to have climbed to the top, which I jokingly referred to as “Rapunzel's Tower.” </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">While I didn’t make it to any donut shops (<a href="http://vortexdoughnuts.com/" target="_blank">Vortex Donuts</a> and <a href="https://www.hole-doughnuts.com/" target="_blank">Hole Doughnuts</a> were on my list), I’m not even complaining because I found something better. If you’re in Asheville, I 10/10 recommend making a stop at <a href="https://www.sunshinesammies.com/" target="_blank">Sunshine Sammies</a>. YUM. Here you’ll find some of the most scrumptious handcrafted ice cream sandwiches, waffle tacos and cookies. I ordered a scoop of their mint chocolate chip ice cream and had a nibble of one of their classic chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream sammies. Besides all the mouth-watering desserts, let me also just rave for a sec about their new storefront (just opened on June 23!) and cool urban space. From their wood countertops and paint-splattered floor to the bright yellow metal bar stools, Sunshine Sammies is made for the ‘gram. Oh, and they also have the cutest vintage truck (which I may or not have posed alongside post-treat). </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span></span></div>

Despite never having attended Glastonbury, I’ve come to associate the British music festival with a certain waxed field jacket (does Barbour ring a bell?) and a parade of rainy day wellies that come out rain or shine. Sure, there’s still your typical festival-going attire (OTT sequins! <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/glastonbury-2017-fashion-90s-nostalgia_uk_594cdaa2e4b0da2c731ad3da" target="_blank">Glitter-sprayed cheeks</a>! Shimmery piñata-inspired fringe!), but once again the Londoners have turned out in full force gracing us with their sartorial greatness. Have I piqued your interest yet? Keep on scrolling for a highlight reel of some of my favorite looks from the Instagram sphere.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">As of lately, Free People’s been my go-to source for one-and-done summer dresses that require (almost) zero effort. See exhibit A: This Free People x CP Shades plaid drop-waist dress featuring a flouncy hem does more than just “get the job done.” But <i>actually</i>. You can go ahead and file this bad boy under what to wear for a low-key coffee shop work sesh or a local museum outing. (Pssst: If you find yourself in Richmond, Virginia this summer, the <a href="https://vmfa.museum/" target="_blank">VMFA</a> currently has an amazing YSL exhibit that's worth checking out.) Team it with suede ankle boots or ankle strap sandals, and you’re good to go for an afternoon of errands. The slightly oversized silhouette and easy-breezy cotton-linen material convey a sense of effortlessness that I’m forever attempting to master on my own. Last, but certainly not least, I hereby dub my light blue <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/0Ok" target="_blank">Rebecca Minkoff Mini M.A.C.</a> the quintessential weekend bag for any and all aspiring <i>It</i> girls. You heard it first. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">When it comes to sunglasses, I find that I’m a bit of a style chameleon. Every summer, there tends to be a new <i>It</i> style that I gravitate toward. One year, it was ultra-glam tortoiseshell cat-eye frames — then mirrored aviators and Illesteva “Leonard” lookalikes (you know the ones) — and this summer I’m all about quirky, colorful frames. With rad brands like <a href="http://www.carlacolour.com/" target="_blank">Carla Colour</a> paving the way with their curated collection of mod geometric styles (available in a variety of vibrant colorways, BTW), flying under the radar isn’t even an option. Scroll on for five COLORFUL sunglasses that are guaranteed to get you noticed by the pool and on the streets of NYC.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Coco and Breezy Iris Sunglasses (<a href="https://shop.nylon.com/products/iris-sunglasses" target="_blank">Nylon Shop</a>) // </b>So.

your most ridiculous pool float (cactus FTW!). Any takers? If goldenrod
isn't your go-to hue, this <a href="https://www.bando.com/collections/crap-eyewear/products/the-tv-eye-sunglasses-white-glitter-sky-blue" target="_blank">sky blue pair</a> is actually pretty dreamy. </span><br />

Two words: millennial pink. The girly girl in me is naturally smitten
with these sleek frames that call for an eyelet white dress and lace-up
espadrilles. Major <i>swoon</i>.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">I know, I know. More stripes. How utterly groundbreaking for someone who depends upon stripes on the reg?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">But <i>actually</i>. For me, this look was new-ish. The addition of my favorite chambray shirt, the <a href="https://shop.industrystandardny.com/products/the-margot-highrise" target="_blank">best high-waisted jeans on the planet</a> (IMO, anyway) and some playful polka dot sneaks suddenly gave my typical uniform of stripes an anything-but-granola spin. Throw in my go-to bucket bag (still can't believe it's from Old Navy!) and some black-rimmed specs for a v Madewell lewk. No kidding, my stripes and minimalist ring necklace are actually from J.Crew's effortless-cool sister brand, so it's probably not all that shocking that I had a Madewell aesthetic going on. But I digress.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Another thing to note about this #OOTD is how casual and perfect it is for a weekend spent running errands. Thanks to my laidback kicks, it also proved to be ridiculously comfortable. < Praise hands emoji. > As for my black specs, I'm still getting used to them since they're merely an accessory at this point (read: I don't actually need glasses). I find that it takes just the right outfit and vibe to pull 'em off without feeling like I'm trying too hard. If *only* I could be Jenna Lyons' cool spectacle-wearing twin...</span><br />

Apologies for the unannounced hiatus, but sometimes a little R&R is absolutely in order. Like any other self-proclaimed fashion person, I’m constantly on the hunt for the latest fill-in-the-blank wardrobe essential to invest in for the upcoming season. But then, there are always those $$$ pieces that are pretty wow-worthy in their own right. Here’s the potential start of a new series in which I spotlight a few well-calculated splurges that I could definitely justify, especially when you factor in cost per wear and all that jazz. </span><br />

My inner prepster is swooning at the sight of this hands-free Cambridge Satchel saddle bag reimagined with classic blue Breton stripes (can you say MDW-ready?). Between upcoming getaways and weekend brunch dates, you won’t find a more versatile carryall to accompany you this summer. For #OOTD perfection, throw in an Audrey Hepburn-esque midi skirt, a streamlined blouse and some woven huaraches. </span><br />

Stutterheim on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stutterheim/?hl=en" target="_blank">Instagram</a>,
and let me tell ya, I’m obsessed with everything that this
aesthetically pleasing brand has to offer. (Their tagline, “Swedish
melancholy at its driest,” pretty much says it all.) Introducing the
millennial pink raincoat of my dreams that I would undoubtedly reach for
rain or shine. Non-femme crowd: There’s a slew of other covetable hues
(ahem, rubbery ducky yellow!) available for your sartorial pleasure. </span> </span><br />

But not just any old Chucks — I’ve got my sights set on Converse’s <i>It</i> girl-approved collab with Comme des Garçons PLAY. The black high-tops featuring the brand’s iconic peekaboo heart, to be exact. I imagine teaming these bad boys with everything from denim cutoffs and streamlined button-downs to carefree striped dresses for no shortage of downtown appeal (think: lower East Side meets Brooklyn). </span><br />

Today, I’m introducing a new series on the blog in which I spotlight some of my latest Insta style crushes. First up is Sophia Rosemary (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/sophia_rosemary/" target="_blank">@sophia_rosemary</a>), a fantastic <a href="http://www.sophiarosemary.com/" target="_blank">UK blogger</a> out of Manchester who I’m <i>always</i> happy to see grace my Instagram feed. (But seriously, is she not the cutest?!) Her style encapsulates so many elements that I love — she’s got the retro look down pat (give or take a little bit of a rocker ‘tude on occasion) with ultra-femme undertones. TBH, she could very well pass as Alexa Chung’s impeccably dressed twin. (Pssst: Her winged eyeliner is even on point.)<br /><br />I can’t tell you how many times I’ve swooned after one of Sophia’s chic jumpers (ahem, specifically <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BPLFOlVA4dh/" target="_blank">the one with the dinosaur</a>!) or pondered whether or not I could <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BSwK5yOgclr/" target="_blank">pull off denim dungarees</a> half as seamlessly as she does. And she’s got quite a few sartorial tricks up her sleeve too. I’ve never seen someone <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BN8-e0bAUNY/" target="_blank">style Doc Martens</a> so exquisitely alongside a striped knit sweater, a leather mini and a faux sheepskin jacket. Her off-duty uniform consisting of oh-so charming frocks (or my personal favorite, a sweater and a denim button-front skirt) is the definition of outfit #goals. And, she may or may not have influenced my current obsession with Chuck Taylors… Note to self: Invest in a pair of high-tops STAT in an effort to be a fraction as cool as Sophia Rosemary. Enough chit-chat — I’ve included a few of my favorite looks below (all borrowed from <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sophia_rosemary/" target="_blank">Sophia’s Instagram feed</a>) as a testament of this tastemaker’s A+ style. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">As you can probably surmise from the title of this post, a certain knit poncho will be taking center stage. If I ever attend a music festival (slim chance unless it's Glastonbury), then you best believe I'll be wearing some variation of this ensemble.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Initially, I bought this fringed knit poncho (still available and <a href="https://www.shopatduo.com/collections/sale/products/smokey-mountain-poncho" target="_blank">on sale</a>!) for winter, only to realize that I prefer it so much more when styled for spring (see ya never turtlenecks and bulky layers!). Teamed alongside a simple white tee, a denim skirt and suede ankle boots, the result was something along the lines of rodeo-ready — and I do mean that in the best possible way.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Particularly groundbreaking ensemble? No, not by a long shot. But for this classic prepster who swears by a uniform consisting of waxed field jackets (or Barbour) and Keds sneaks on the regular, this is as boho-chic as it gets. <br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">While this outfit may not be suitable for the most balmy spring days, it's perfect for moderately warm weeks when the temps are nippy in the morning and a perfect 70 degrees (insert praise hands emoji) come recess — AKA, fun in the sun time. As for additional ways to get the most wear out of your favorite knit ponchos (and wraps for that matter)? Try teaming 'em with denim boyfriend shorts, high-waisted mom jeans or denim button-front skirts for instant festival flair.</span><br />
