pink leather: urban outfitters jacket + american apparel top and jeans

Friends. It has been too long. So much has happened these last few months! I moved to Brooklyn (like JayZ is practically my neighbor), I started a new job at The Estee Lauder Companies (beauty products as far as the eye can see!), I went to Peru for two weeks (photos to come!) and most recently, realized that this pearl necklace was actually put on this Earth for me to wear every day. Hizah!


With all that being said, I can't wait to start blogging again. Note: I'm hoping my New Year's resolution of blogging consistently will take affect before the New Year starts so as to gain momentum going into the New Year and thus, make it a lasting human trait. Done.

Love,
JaKenna

holy jeans! topshop jeans + madewell shirt +urban outfitters leather jacket

FULL DISCLOSURE: THESE jeans did not come with holes, they created themselves. Why? Because I wear stuff. And I wear stuff I like... A LOT. Alas, they now serve 2 purposes:

1) Strategically placed air-conditioning vents now provide much needed circulation. We walk a lot in NYC and it's natural to sweat. IT IS.

B) 90's grunge holy jeans and plaid shirt + 80's hair band rocker curls strangely = 2011 NYC gal. You do the math.

And S/O to the cropped leather jacket! The Urban Outfitters sale rack will forever have a place in my heart for this one. You + Me = Us. 


Leather Jacket: Urban Outfitters

it's the colors that get me: yumi kim blazer & maxi

SOMETIMES, WHEN YOU know, you know. I walked into the Yumi Kim flagship store in the LES and my mouth dropped. To the floor. 


Oh, hello there. Why aren’t you a perfectly sculpted maxi dress with an ohmygod color combination. The print is Pucci-esq, but this price tag doesn't cause my hand to momentarily pause (just for a second) as I hand over my credit card. #lifechoices
I tend to stray from too-girly (the tomboy in me actively shrivels), so I boy’d it with these suede boots. The chains jingle when I walk. Because they were made for walkin'.
Maxi dresses make me wanna frolic. Especially this crazy print and this muted tone. Aaaand now I'm lusting.

And The Skull says HI. Isn't she key-uuute?
