new york city.

Ok so this past weekend, Allie and I went to New York City where we shopped, shopped, shopped! We started downtown hitting up our two favorite stores, All Saint's (Allie) and Topshop (Catherine). Though we looked around and tried things on, nothing really caught our eyes. The stores where we bought things surprisingly were the cheap stores. This of course was good on our credit cards :)

We first went to Chill where Allie got this really cool sweater that she was dying to have. It's a sweater but it has a long piece of fabric hanging down that turns into a scarf! I got a really cute black and white houndstooth jacket that I loveeee.

The other cheap store we went to was Exstanza. Allie had been there before and had gotten some great things so we of course had to go. The store is nice because it has some really good looking outfits other than the cheap looking clothes. Shopping there was definitely a success. Allie got two adorable tops and I got a top and a little black dress.

Now when you go to New York, you of course have to go uptown to stores like Bendel's, which is just what we did next. Allie got her fix of Nars so that she can make an Old Hollywood look for homecoming. I got a creme blush from Per-fekt, which I love! I also stocked up on YSL.

Out to dinner with Allie

New York Film Festival

so a few weekends ago i got to attend the world premiere of the film, The Social Network. It was a fantastic and glamorous night. When we got to the city, i went for a quick bite of sushi. Made a quick run to CVS for black nailpolish, and headed back to the apartment to get ready. I ended up wearing the new BCBG Runway Collection, Red chunky heels, and a matte embellished gray clutch. I went for an Old Hollywood look with my makeup, and a roll-out-of-bed hairstyle. 
The Social Network is probably the best movie i have ever seen. I HIGHLY recommend it. 

Homecoming. (Allie's P.O.V)

okay guys, heres the deal. To me, homecoming and most other dances are pretty darn gross. I go because it's an occasion to wear a fabulous fall outfit. Including Chunky earrings, Chunky cardigan, simple black dress, and phenomenal shoes and accessories.

I got my dress this year at an online store called Nasty Gal. My absolute favorite. I plan to wear it with my leopard topshop coat, red suede clunky heals, and vintage jewelry EVERYWHERE!

some advice from me to you...
avoid the shiny Jessica McClintock dresses that belong at 7th grade bar-mitzvahs with girls who don't know Vuitton from Versace. Go with something simple, timeless, and somewhat casual.

I have really gone head first into the vintage look this season and i think that it is so important for every girl to have at least 3 pieces of vintage clothing!
       PLEASE comment or email your homecoming outfits to me!!! i would LOVE to see them.
 i am also always around for style help and suggestions.
