Spring is officially here and the temperatures have warmed up a bit, though when my friend and I shot this look a week or so ago, it was still quite cold. It was in the upper thirties and I was freezing my tukus off the whole time. This ensemble is great for that in between time of year such as early spring or late fall when the temperatures vary.
The garments are all locally made by the designer who owns the boutique
The sweater has a semi lose fit so it won’t be to warm, yet it will keep you warm with it’s long sleeves and light knit. This is such a fun sweater with it’s stars and strips, I love the statement it makes. I picked this up at a local boutique called NU New York. I have written about this shop before, and wore another piece from this shop on one of my Vlogmas videos. The garments are all locally made by the designer who also owns the boutique. How cool is that?
I paired it with these distressed jeans from H&M which you may have seen on my Paris Vlog. And the kicks are from VEJA. Ironically, I bought these in New York about a month or so before I went to Paris, they were on sale for %50 off. But I saw them all over Paris.
VEJA launched in 2005 is a footwear company that makes environmentally friendly sneakers
In fact, one day I stopped in to one shop while wearing these sneakers, and the sales assistant was also wearing them! Though in a different color. VEJA, launched in 2005 is a footwear company that makes environmentally friendly sneakers from raw materials that are organically sourced and produced. Made without chemicals or pollutants, they are also produced in dignified conditions respecting both the people that make them, as well as the people who wear them. With all the negative stories in the news today and the impact of fast fashion, it is refreshing to see a company make a difference.
The necklace which I have featured on the blog before is from J Crew and the gold bag is from Parisian company Max&Enjoy. Some of you may have seen this on my Fashion Week vlog. Then, I wore it with a gold metallic pleated skirt, but this time I went for a more contrasted look, going for a high-low effect. Plus I liked how it picked up the gold in the sneakers. Finally I threw on this camel coat from Tommy Hilfiger. How do you handle the in-between seasons? What is your go to piece this season?

April 16, 2018I feel like the weather is teasing us at this point since it felt like summer almost for two days and we went back to winter. This is such a chic look! I’m usually not a fan of anything with stars and stripes but that sweater gets it right without being OTT. You got such a great deal on your Vejas! I purchased a pair of silver Vejas a few years ago before the brand was really known. I’m so glad to see them all over now because the brand philosophy is really good.

April 16, 2018Hello Allie, hope you’re doing great!
It is great to see more of your outfits in your blog, is good to see who is behind the articles and the amazing shots from Fashion Week. This is definitely the perfect outfit to say hello to Spring, actually I really like Spring and Autumn season because we can create unexpected combinations and still adding layers. I really love the sweater, definitely the star of the outfit but the thing that caught my attention are the shoes, it is good to see that many new fashion brands are trying to do something for a more sustainable fashion industry and hope we can see those initiatives in more fashion projects!
Have a great week ahead and thanks again for all your comment on my site!

April 30, 2018This is such a look! Perfect for the weather as it is gradually getting warmer, it suggests spring but also insinuates that winter is still lurking (although what a horrible thought! summer please!). This look is both casual and chic, and it comes together really well. I hope you are doing well, I’ve just been remedicated which is fuuuunn.
Have a great week!
