Boyfriend Chic

Shirt: Similar // Undershirt: T by Alexander Wang // Jeans: Blank Denim // Shoes: Loeffler Randall // Belt: Linea Pelle






When in doubt, steal your boyfriend's clothes. Especially when he picks your outfit out. Garrett has a habit of picking out my least worn items in an unexpected way, so I always appreciate his input.

I also forgot my glasses in my car today, so I feel naked and blind.

It's My Pink

Top: Betsey Johnson // Skirt: Bop Basics // Shoes: Ash

I've been a fan of Betsey for many many years. She was one of the first high fashion designers I was introduced to. I love that she makes fashion fun. She just designs what she likes and doesn't care what the critics think. 

My four favorite things: Lipstick, Diamonds, Champagne and Rock & Roll. 
P.S. Matching your nails to your lipstick, definitely a do.

Born Free

Top: Similar // Skirt: Prada // Sandals: Splendid
 I'm a little late to the game, but a couple months ago, Shopbop did this cool line with 22 designers called Born Free. Each designer came up with a mother and child piece and 100% of the profits went to benefit
Born Free’s goal to end mother-to-child HIV transmission at birth. You can see what's left of the collection here

I work for Shopbop so I got to watch the collection go live and some pieces just sold out so fast. It was great to see so many people really get into the cause. This skirt was on my list immediately. Designed by Prada, it's such a great summer piece.

The Angels Take Manhattan

Happy Doctor Day! Though I don't have a way to watch the new episode today when it airs, I'm still totally stoked for it. I'm excited to see the new Doctor and how he brings his personal quirk to the show. In honor of the new season, my look is inspired by the best companion in my opinion: Amy Pond.

The Angels Take Manhattan is one of the most heartbreaking and romantic episodes and definitely one of my favorite. 

Top: Similar // Jacket: Current/Elliott // Jeans: 3x1 // Shoes: Similar



I decided this was a good time to break out my Tardis Blue polish as well. I hope everyone else enjoys the premiere!

Kimono

Tunic: Free People // Kimono: Black Milk Clothing // Boots: Sam Edelman

I've been admiring the kimono trend from afar for quite some time. I'm a big fan of being comfortable so I picked this one up from Black Milk Clothing. It's so soft and just adds that extra omph to any outfit. 


This Free People tunic comes in 408394302 different colors (or more like 8). I grabbed the white to be more versatile. It's my go to for comfortable and bohemian.

#carselfie. Yea, that happened.

An Intro to Hair

Today was a good hair day. See?

This is a rarity, since I'm in the middle of the awkward growing out process. So I thought this would be a great time to talk about hair and my routine...or lack there of. 

I used to be the hair dye queen. I was partial to reds, but I dabbled in blondes, blacks and shades of brunettes as well. At one point in college, I had gone from black to blonde, and then red (which was actually an awful faded red/pink, not a cool edgy red/pink) in that order, in a matter of 2 months. My hair was fried. I had tried every trick in the book for making my hair healthy, but at some point, my hair had become beyond repair. Time for drastic measures.


Last October, I chopped it all off. Start over. Virgin hair. (Whaaaat?) The pixie cut was fun - I recommend every woman try it at some point - but I was finally ready to let it grow. Healthy and happy. And natural.


I generally stick to shampooing (no conditioner, my hair is still too short) and then letting it hair dry. These are products I use as needed. I don't have a routine. I don't have a system. Just whatever I need, when I need it.

Coconut Milk Hair Oil: I put this on the ends of my hair to smooth them out if needed. Since I'm growing it out, I'm avoiding the salon as much as possible. This helps seal my ends without weighing my hair down.

Big Sexy Hair Hairspray: Perfect for some volume without weighing my hair. I try not to go overboard, otherwise it does get too stiff.

Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Spray and Cream: My hair is naturally wavy. These are perfect for the mornings I wake up with bedhead to extenuate my natural waves. 

Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Dry Shampoo: Because sometimes I just don't want to shower. Self-proclaimed lazy girl, remember?

Breakfast


I love matching my clothes to my food. That's not actually true. I just really like donuts. The Sincerely, Jules line is actually really cute and I've been lusting after the Circle of Life tee for forever (aka a few months).

T-shirt: Sincerely, Jules // Donuts: Dunkin Donuts
This is my it's-my-day-off-but-I-have-to-leave-the-house outfit. Truthfully, it looks like all my other I-have-to-leave-the-house outfits.

Will The Real Kate Please Stand Up?

After years of attempting self-discovery, soul searching, and most recently, a quarter-life crisis, I'm finally ready to be myself and be perfectly blunt. 



I am lazy. I start a lot of projects and never finish them. (This is blog #3.) I do not have a competitive bone in my body. I don't have a make up routine. I don't have a hair routine. I barely even have a wardrobe routine. (I was really into the printed legging trend - thank you Black Milk Clothing - because it was just too easy.) I like to be comfortable. I like to be casual. But I still like to look good. I don't believe in wearing sweatpants or pj's in public. I like getting dressed in the morning. I just don't like putting work into it. 

T-Shirt: T by Alexander Wang // Pants: Current/Elliott // Sandals: Splendid
Tree Necklace: Thrifted // Long Necklace: Tiffany & Co
I show my outfits in the form of a selfie, usually in the giant mirror in the bathroom at my job. #sorrynotsorry. I spend most of my time on Instagram and I'm really bad at other social networking. Why am I here? Well, the third times the charm! I think I finally found my niche.

In the words of my mother, I give you the world according to Kate. A lazy girls guide to fashion.
