last chance

ok so i've officially disappeared but i swear i have a slew of great reasons i cannot seem to remember all at once. we moved about 3 weeks ago, { pics of the new place coming up } and i've been so distracted by un-packing, decorating and like....actually owning something besides clothes and shoes. { crazy i know }. but i swear im not gone forever. as proof, here are some pics i took this weekend on a relatively warm day. { hope ya'll like my awkward smile }

fall is actually my favorite seasons because in some ways it's like a less gross, prettier version of intense summer heat. everything looks clean, bright and crisp, and you get to expand the wardrobe past dresses, skirts and shorts. i got these suede boots from DV by dolce vita. i would describe them as understated awesomeness. they are eye-catching without being over the top and very comfy to walk in {which for a flats loving girl gives them a million bonus points}
what are your favorite looks for fall? and it anyone else sad to see the blinding colors of fall fade away? { i mean honestly...how awesome is that tree? }

fish scales

fully embracing fall these days, and all the craziness that comes with moving into a new home, getting ready for my sister's wedding, and starting to plan my own...and, not to mention, PACKING! i've sadly accepted that my only earthly possessions are clothes and books, but i will say i think that's much better than any alternative i can imagine at present. wearing my usual uniform of black and white with some sparkle in between. utterly in love with my thread thin motorcycle jacket, which is so perfect in so many ways. 

how are you guys dealing with the weather change?

hurricane mimi

jacket- acne, oversized shirt- h&m, clutch- zara, boots -got them in amsterdam, watch- michael kors, necklace- vintage
after being trapped in the house like noah's ark, we were excited to take a walk around the supposed "wreckage" of hurricane irene. literally just rolled out of bed. my favorite thing about this is my tiny tiny eiffel tower locket which just helps me keep a little piece of paris with me at all times.

something to talk about...

pretty please don't kill me.....i've been an AWFUL blogger. almost a month since i got on here {ducks from stones} there has been a lot happening on my end and im looking forward to getting back in the swing of things {slash} catching up on what everyone has been up to this month. the boy and i went on a whimsical trip to costa rica { most beautiful beaches, animals and forests in the world if you like hiking for 9 hours and that kind of stuff }. we stayed at the most amazing ego lodge called lapa rios which is literally how i imagine to heaven to look.

did i mention we got engaged?!

{hence me falling of the planet for the last month} it was the most magical moment and he presented me with the most beautiful ring i've ever seen...tres mimi. im super excited and im sure ill talk about it at length at some point when i get stressed about finding charming place to get married in france.

for now i have a lot of new things to show you. raise your hand if you're excited for fall!

happy bastille day!! im back! summer is in full swing {to say the least} and we have over 40 cheeses we are giving away to our friends because we have so much! { i feel like im in kiki's delivery service }

on days like this it's so so hot i can barely think about putting clothes ON my body. i usually keep it simple during the summer because im just trying to get through the day without melting into a warm puddle.

what do you guys wear to stay cool in the summer heat?

sunshowers

dress-asos, bag-miu miu, wedgies- top shop, sunglasses-YSL

hi! hope you all had a beautiful weekend. i'm sometimes in the mood of keeping an outfit as simple and basic as possible {could also be due to laziness}. love this nude chiffon dress {if i were white i'd probably look naked} paired with some EXTRA high wedges and my newest miu miu bag. how do you guys dress when you just want to keep it simple?
