8 pairs, 8 days, 8 ways // Day 1







Top and cuff- H&M | Skirt- c/o mmddyyyy | Shoes- c/o MyHotShoes.com 
Fin Black sunglasses- c/o Giant Vintage | Necklace- giveaway Lucid NY  
Slave bracelet- c/o Miss Viss 

So I told you in my last post that I'd recently added an plethora of new sunglasses to my closet. Well, I more than doubled my current collection with 8 new pairs, to be exact. Never again will I wear the same pair two days in a row!!!! Now I've got tons of options. Where did I get 8 new pairs of sunglasses?? GIANT VINTAGE OF COURSE! Don't let the name fool you--while yes, they do have an amazing selection of vintage, they've got new pairs too! And by no means does 'vintage' mean outdated. This shop has the coolest, most eclectic mix of modern, funky, retro, and yes, vintage, that you'll find anywhere!

Since I was sent 8 pairs of sunglasses to test out, I figured it was ample time for another feature like the one I did with the Echoing Waters galaxy shirt back in August. So here you have 8 pairs, 8 days, 8 ways: Day 1. Today's pair are the "Fin" glasses in black. They're $20 and they come in tortoise too!

When I wore this outfit to school, I actually wore it with the white version of this top. But I wish I'd worn it with the mint! Looking at the pictures now, I love how the mint compliments the purple. Also, this is literally the best t-shirt ever. So comfortable, chic and loose. Hence why I bought two of the same one :)

Last thing I want to talk about are my new flats from MyHotShoes.com! If you didn't know, purple is my color. My closet is painted purple, I have 4 purple dresses....but, (until these) I had no purple shoes. That's where these came in! They remind kind of of the Tory Burch Reva flats that are so cute and oh so expensive. I'd say for $14.99, these certainly rival TB's Reva! I might have to scoop them up in the 5 other colors, too....

Chambray- Love Culture | Top- Forever 21 | Skirt- Urban Outfitters | Shoes- Kenneth Cole Reaction @Marshall's | Sunglasses- c/o Firmoo | Necklace- Forever 21 | Watch- gifted

I had already associated these glasses with John Lennon when I got them in the mail from Firmoo (Google 'John Lennon Sunglasses'--you'll see what I mean), but when my friend Ali posted a look with the SAME glasses from the EXACT SAME place (and made it about John Lennon), it affirmed that these are indeed Lennon glasses. They are so unique, so uncommon in the world of women's sunglasses. That's what makes them special! I've become somewhat of a sunglass hoarder these past few weeks since summer has ended (weird, I know). And these are one of my new favorites! If you love them as much as I do, GET A PAIR FOR FREE HERE!

Also, I wore this top for school picture day this year! It's hard to believe that I only have ONE picture day left...and ONE first day of school left...

Guys, it's only the start of junior year and already I feel like high school is nearly over!!!

p.s. WANNA SEE HOW ALI STYLED THIS PAIR IN BLACK? See her post here.

Starcatcher Style







Top- Forever 21 | Button-up- Sheinside| Skirt- H&M | Shoes- Tahari | Necklace- c/o Marcella Leone | Bracelets- gifted, c/o Starry Groove, c/o Lobby | Cuff- c/o Cosmorones

I am very excited to announce that I am going to be guest blogging for Camp Broadway! You may have seen my outfit for seeing Chaplin. Well, Camp Broadway saw it too! And now I'm a monthly blogger for them, focusing on what to wear when you go to the theater. Theater has always been a passion of mine. When I was younger, I danced, acted, and…attempted…to sing. While my calling is no longer being in the spotlight, I love to see a good show. In the past seven years, I’ve seen nearly 20 Broadway plays, ranging from Wicked to Hairspray and most recently (thanks to CB!), Chaplin.
As a New York City regular and frequent show-goer, I am going to theme outfits around particular plays and musicals. I absolutely love to get all dressed up, and seeing a show is one of the best times to do it! Why not take it a step further, and dress like you’re part of the show? Or dress according to a spin you take from the name of the play or one of its characters?
One of the most popular Broadway plays showing right now is Peter and the Starcatcher. Winner of 5 Tony Awards, it is a spin off of the classic Peter Pan that we all knew and loved in our childhood. The play also gets inspiration from Peter and the Starcatchers, a wonderful book that takes you further into the depths of Neverland than the original story does. As a lover of both the new and old versions of Peter, I would love to be able to see Peter and the Starcatcher. And when I do (inevitably) see the play, this is what I'd wear! I sort of went along with the name "Starcatcher" in dressing in (double) star prints. What do you think?

Black + White + Pink All Over

Back to the swing of things with school, and just as I predicted, I'm counting down the days til summer.  At least I have my first day off next Monday, for a Jewish holiday. And then the week after that I have another day off for another Jewish holiday. Not too shabby, eh? And then from there we have a day off in October for something but I can't remember what....5 days in November for Thanksgiving...16 days off for Christmas...Martin Luther King day...President's Day weekend...16 days for Spring break...3 more days for Easter/Passover...and then BAM IT'S SUMMER AGAIN!!! When I put it like that, it seems really really close. But in actuality, it's a whole 273 days left until I go on Summer Vacation again....

*sigh*

Double Overtime







Top- Forever 21 | Shorts- c/o Sway Chic | Shoes- Call It Spring | Pink bracelet- c/o Sway Chic

So the game on Friday was intense. We played double overtime, and still ended in a tie. The score was 2-2 and my team played absolutely AMAZING. Soccer is so much fun this year--the competition is better, but so are we. I love my team!
This week, we play the hardest team on our schedule on Tuesday. I'm ready!!!! We have three games total this week. I also have school pictures on Tuesday....what to wear????
