Irene

WISH blouse; Current/Elliott jeans; Marc Jacobs rainboots; Vintage necklace; Burberry sunglasses

Hey East Coast-ers, how are you guys doing after Hurricane Irene? Manhattan managed to get by with very little damage, but I know other places got it much worse than us. I hope you're all ok!

I took these pictures on Sunday afternoon when we were still getting giant gusts of wind from the hurricane. It was pretty intense down on the Hudson River, the waves were bigger than I've ever seen them! There was also a few tree branches that had fallen down, but all-in-all the Upper West Side escaped pretty much unscathed. The question now is, what am I going to do with all of these flashlights and gallons of water I've stockpiled?

I also want to draw your attention to the shirt I'm wearing - it's the Sevier Blouse from WISH's summer collection titled "Smokey Shadows". WISH is an Australian brand that has been around for 10 years, but only recently came to the US. If you're like me and you love beautifully designed bohemian pieces, be sure to check out the WISH website!

Working for the weekend

LC Lauren Conrad for Kohls dress; Burberry sunglasses

Hi guys - I'm still alive! I'm a bad blogger, yadda yadda yadda, but I do apologize for neglecting you all. I just started an internship at Lovelyish (which has been nothing short of lovely!) and I'm spending every other minute trying to find a job. So far, I've been unsuccessful... if you all have any suggestions for places to look for work, I'd love to hear them!

Despite my troubles with finding work, I still love New York! I can't blame this city, I couldn't when it is so beautiful. Just check out this sunset from Riverside Park!

Missoni for Target wishlist

Ballet flats ($29.99)

I haven't have time to read my fav blogs for the past few days and guess what happens? The Missoni for Target lookbook drops, Karen gets married (congrats!!), and Jeffrey Campbell releases about 20 more styles I can't live another day without! I'm going to be spending the rest of the night catching up on everything else I've missed, but for now, check out my picks from the upcoming Missoni for Target collection (available September 13).

Jersey bra ($19.99) and pants ($39.99)

Floppy hat ($24.99)

Cardigan ($49.99) and pleated skirt ($49.99)

Blanket ($39.99)

Poncho ($49.99) and tote bag ($34.99)

Ladies bicycle ($399.99) - so amazing!

Sample sale-ing in Soho

H&M tank; Tracy Reese skirt; Mossimo for Target sandals; Burberry sunglasses

I snapped a few pics while in Soho for the Alexander Wang sample sale this past weekend. It was my very first sample sale, and soooo crazy and overwhelming! I only ended up buying a blazer, but I learned a ton about sample sales - mostly that if you see anything you even vaguely like, grab it and never let it go! Or just shop online, because the deals are just as good on ebay and it's much nicer to shop in your PJ's and not get trampled by deal-seeking models in stilettos, lol...

Currently Craving: Black and White and Red all over

Alexander Wang dalmation-print bag; Jeffrey Campbell Right On wedges; Nasty Gal Beach Club blazer; Misikko Hana Air Premier Hair Dryer; Low Luv x Erin Wasson Double Triangle earrings

It has been so long since I've done a Currently Craving post! I haven't had the time to sit down and go through my favorite online stores in way too long, so there was a lot to choose from to crave this week. Luckily one of the items above I am no longer craving, because the lovely people over at Misikko sent me a Hana Air Premier Hair Dryer to try out! The Hana hair dryer is lightweight, easy to handle, and works quick - which is necessary for someone like me who doesn't have more than 10 minutes to spare styling my hair! It has a bunch of different settings, both hot and cold, so if you don't want to fry your hair with hot air you can choose a cooler setting (or if it's 100 degrees out and you can't handle blowing even hotter air on your head!). This hair dryer is definitely the best one I've used, and I recommend it if you're in the market for a new one.

On to fashion, I am currently *way* obsessed with these Jeffrey Campbell Right On wedges, which come in black and white or solid black (and probably soon in every color and pattern you can imagine - just like the Lita's). I can't imagine that they'd be very easy to walk in, but I'd manage the pain! And the Alexander Wang bag was spotted on Eva Chen's Tumblr, which you must follow if you don't already. She's the beauty editor at Teen Vogue and one of the chicest people I've seen on Tumblr! While you're at it, follow my new Tumblr too if you'd like!
