sabo skirt

On one of the coldest days of January, a new photographer friend and I set out to get coffee and then Central Park to photograph the cutest pieces from Sabo Skirt. I've pined over their clothes for ages; their brand is the perfect mix of luxurious summer yet trendy streetwear. To be able to photograph for these babes was an absolute pleasure! Though I wish I could've been taking pictures on a beach in their lace up shorts and tops, sometimes a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do and make bitter cold NYC work.

Hopefully you can't tell how cold I actually was while taking these!!!!

december favorites

With a new month and therefore an end of a month, I have my December favorites for y'all! December had a lot of simplifying and gift-buying, therefore not leaving me with a lot of time to myself, which honestly is just fine sometimes. Therefore, my favorites for this month are very basic and nothing too over-the-top, but I still wanted to share some of my most treasured and used items in case you need some pick me ups or just some ideas to keep warm/keep moisturized/keep glowin!

In winter it's so fucking hard to look nice. Seriously, it is. That's why I love being able to smell nice because with smelling nice.....comes....feeling nice?? I'm a huge rose fan so don't listen to me if you're not, but smelling like a rose makes me feel fresh, vibrant, and not like I'm dying from being chapped in places I didn't even know I could be chapped. The Mario Badescu spray literally makes you feel reborn. I also added the Chanel powder because it's great with keeping your makeup in place, and, of course, my Nars duo because I'm obsessed and it makes me glowy, even in the winter.

Winter I think is the best time to keep everything simple; therefore, my wardrobe is the simplest, coziest it can be. Tons of turtlenecks, sleepwear, and knitted lingerie. Think Brandy Melville on steroids...that was the goal of my closet this month. Really, it's all about being comfy yet cute and not looking like a hobo. Maybe a cute hobo.

Going along with the whole coziness idea of December, I've been drinking tons of tea (green tea and peppermint are my favorite) and writing poems. When I have nothing else to do I literally crack open my journal and take at least 20 minutes to write about something...most likely a favorite moment with my love. Of course Kinfolk is one of my favorite reads and, since I've been too busy to read an actual book, it makes me feel 500x better since I'm reading at least something that is educating. A blanket and records are also necessary.

Yes this category was extremely necessary. Like I said before, I've been so dry this month it really has me :'( so I went to Lush to make my skin (and myself) feel a little bit better. Lush has tons of masks for dry skin specifically, but I decided to pick up the Cup O' Coffee one because my obsession with coffee has controlled my life. I'm in LOVE with the Bubblegum lip scrub because my lips were unbelievably chapped, but with this and my rose moisturizer it worked like a charm :") Now Adam doesn't have to suffer making out with gross lips hehe always good

That's it for this month loves! I hope you liked this and again if you want me to actually do this every month I sure can! Though I have a feeling December and January favorites will be very much the same. Thank you babies for reading!

some january outfitting

As the weather really buckles down to bitter cold and sometimes with crisp, snowy mornings, getting dressed for winter can be like layering the shit out of yourself and your wardrobe. It's turtlenecks, gloves, a jacket, and then another jacket. It can feel endless, annoying, and ultimately...uninspiring. In the winter I'm so inclined to just throw on a pair of thick leggings and an oversized sweatshirt and call it a day. That's why I created this baby post to hopefully get some inspiration inside of all of us...no matter what style you might prefer ;-)

And that's that! Many different vibes but I love all of them very much. Also, just as a disclaimer, what I listed with the outfits doesn't mean you have to follow it cookie-cutter, or limit yourself to being these exact 'looks' and 'girls'. You can take from each and make it your own :-) That's the beauty of fashion and creating your own style. If you want to know where everything is from exactly, go to my Polyvore here and click on the outfits/hover over the pieces.

Happy Sunday and hope you all have a great day today! Let me know which look is your favorite, I'd love to know.

Xoxo,

Kiki

2016, here we fucking come

It's going to sound corny, but I can't believe its the New Year already. I'm almost scared for it because I think that this year has been so good to me, I don't even think it's possible that it'll be even better next year. All a girl can do is hope and dream and feel it. Honestly, I think 2016 will be an amazing year for all of us. What are you wishing for?

Here are some of my favorite adventures from 2015, starting from the beginning up until now. I'll save the last one for the end ;-) Some of these pictures you might have seen before, some I've never posted. Either way, all of them hold a special place in my heart. Friends, opportunities, collaborations, my new love, fashion, traveling, birthdays, events...I can't help but look back on all of these and shed a couple tears just because of how amazing it's been.

The opportunities I've had this year make me so thankful for all of you supporting me and just for how blessed I am. Moving to Manhattan and going to college meanwhile with keeping on blogging and working part time at Free People was difficult but it was the best decision I've ever made. It's hard work, but it pays off so much. I can't believe I found a guy who is so amazing, supportive, handsome, and who feels the same way about me. He truly is the love of my life. To say that I've been to fashion week and have collaborated with brands like Free People and For Love & Lemons and even working with Cole Sprouse on a photoshoot for Brandy is way too much to handle. I dyed my hair white, then brown. I rode a horse, I learned the subway. There was a new puppy and a 1975 concert. It's unbelievable the amount that has happened. I can't thank you all enough for still sticking with me even though sometimes I can't post/get new content out. I love you all so much and thank you for that.

As far as resolutions go, I don't have any. If you want to make a change, you don't have to wait until midnight with confetti to do it. That's the beauty of life; you can change anything you want, all it takes is the right attitude.

I hope you all have an absolutely beautiful New Years Eve tonight and a wonderful New Years tomorrow. Tonight I'm going to a house party with Adam, but hopefully I'll have my outfit up somewhere! If not, feel free to scold me. :-)

Xoxo,
Kiki

5 Things I've Learned In 2015:
1. Love will come when you are confident and secure in yourself.
2. Those who are meant to be in your life are those individuals who will always keep in contact and make sure to hang out with you.
3. Family and your hometown are where the heart is. Remember to call them and let them know that.
4. Working hard will pay off, I promise.
5. Even when things feel like the end, it's never the end. Just a bad day.
