OK, so I am definitely experiencing the honeymoon phase with my new home. Today I had another one of those ethereal moments — it’s like, spring is in the air and I am in the exact place I have dreamed of being for years. Ok, cheeseball alert, but there really is no place in the world like New York City.
Another thing that happened this weekend is I decided to seal the deal on my annual handbag splurge…this 3.1 Phillip Lim badboy on my arm being the result. It really is an awesome bag — somehow managing to fit everything I need without being ridiculously large. I must confess, I miiight have put this entire outfit together to match the bag. :)
*head to toe: puffball beanie from Urban1972, NARS lip crayon in Damned (this product is life changing, btw), Karen Walker sunglasses, Zara striped shirt, ASOS sheer blouse, bangles from Threadsence, YSL arty ring, 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Satchel (available here and here), H&M faux leather pants, Zara pumps
mate do you have a twitter?
Love this look! Great job with the layering. I am probably the last blogger in the world to buy a pair of leather pants but I finally did. Will definitely be re-creating this look :) Thanks for the inspo!
Great outfit – I like the layering!

Ahh, that bag! Congrats on that purchase – totally an investment. Also, I’ve been living in New York my entire life and I still experience those “oh my god.. I really live here” moments. Especially on my aimless walks exploring this city.
Simply chic! I’m so glad you are loving your new place!
