Well guys, it happened. I've officially joined the normcore club. First birks and now short overalls. WHO AM I?!?!! In my defense, I don't think I've ever worn a comfier outfit in my life. Seriously. These denim shortalls are soft, lightweight cotton and I haven't taken off the birks since they arrived at my front door three days ago. Hey, at least I didn't get slides.

A few days ago I ran around on a rooftop with my little sis/blog photographer extraordinaire in my favorite high tops, sunnies and new little swing dress. This funnel neck dress has quickly become my go-to. It's perfect for day to night looks with a shoe change, although let's be real. I wouldn't even bother with a shoe change...mainly because I hate heels and I'm obsessed with these sneakers. Kept it simple with sunnies and a little ninja topknot action. Obviously ready for the weekend.

Another striped tee? Yup, yup annnnd yup. Paired this cool linen tee with a pair of classic denim cutoffs and leather high tops to go run around in a dirty alley. Hair whips galore to hide the sweat dripping down my face. Have I already told you I kind of hate summer? #hurryupwithmydamnAC

July. The thick of hell summer. From now until September, I loose all hope in my own sense of style. It's too hot for skinnies, intolerable in all black and too muggy for my favorite fabrics (enter leather.) I'm a total AW girl but thanks to the inter web full of inspo, specifically pinterest, I think I may have just saved myself from summer-dressing woes. These dark wash cutoffs by One Teaspoon are a clean base for every summer outfit. As far as tops go...the less fabric, the better. Layer a baggy tank over a cute bralette for a hint of scandal that also keeps you cool. Finish off with ankle booties, light-framed sunnies, a delicate  hand piece and a spritz of your favorite scent. BOOM. You're all set for looking cool in the summer sun. Just don't forget that SPF.

It's the 5th of July and my (semi) patriotic garb is still goin strong. A striped chiffon tank with my favorite pair of levis cutoffs. I know, I know...these shorts have been in every post recently. Sorry,  they're just THAT good. Although I'm not a watch girl, I'm super in love with this minimal one by Daniel Wellington. It's slightly oversized with a rose gold face on black leather strap. Chic, minimal vibes all day. Major dig. Oh, and PS get 15% off with the code at the bottom of this post. You're welcome.

Yenny Seo gets it. Since stumbling upon her perfectly curated inspiration on instagram, I've followed suit and now stalk her findings on pinterest, tumblr and the old fashioned way, url. Yenny pulls the best of editorial, lookbooks, art and photography so I don't have to. Just a minute-long scroll on her blog is enough to make one feel more cool-girl. Her post "short cuts" juuuust might have inspired my chop.

Don't mind me, just pretending to be a new yorker in my new rag & bone jeans. A little crop top action and leather high tops to go with my new downtown cool girl haircut. I look the part, right??

Oh, what? Another lacey, boudoir-worthy tank?? What can I say, I like a hint of scandal. The key to rocking a nightie-like top in the day is in contrasting with super laid back pieces. Here I wore a slightly oversized pair of vintage levis and leather high tops to tomboy up the sexy tank. A simple, delicate necklace keeps the look fem, without looking like I might have worn this last night. Aviators & bedhead ooze cool girl vibes. #lace4ever

Change is good. For me, change came in the form of a fresh new wallet. Although I'm a black freak when it comes to my leathers, something about this classic beige color just made me say yes. The perfect little zip fold wallet by A.P.C. Great for holding my starbucks gold card and stash of copper change, because who carries around actual money anymore?? Psssh.
