I’m finally beginning to settle into my NYC apartment. And even though there’s still plenty of clothes to be unpacked, I’m looking to add a few finishing touches to the place that I’m subletting for the next 2 1/2 months. I never really invested in much home decor while in school, but now that I get to call NYC my home, I headed to West Elm to get inspired. My current place is fully furnished, but when I find a more stable location, I plan on incorporating plenty of color, patterns, and texture.

My first day living in NYC was a success! I’m still in the midst of unpacking, settling in, and getting a feel for the neighborhoods, but there’s one thing I am familiar with: NYC style. It’s the perfect balance between classy, edgy, and forward thinking. It’ll be interesting to see if my style will change as I adapt to the city life, but I will definitely be pulling inspiration from my favorite NYC style icons: blogger Kelly Framel of The Glamourai, Poppy Delevigne, Lindsey Calla of Saucy Glossie, Blake Lively, and Olivia Palermo. Any other stylish New Yorkers that I should add to the list?

I’m so excited to share a style collaboration that I’ve been working on with three beautiful bloggers: Jessica of Bows & Sequins, Tara of Mix and Match Fashion, and Sara of Glitter & Grace. Every other Wednesday for the next two months, we’ll be taking one trend and styling it four ways. It’ll be a fun way to challenge ourselves and hopefully give you inspiration on how to incorporate trends into your own looks.
For the first round, we’re showing you how to wear white after Labor Day. While many people still hold onto the belief that you shouldn’t wear white after summer is over, we say break those rules! They never made sense anyway!
For me, this challenge was the perfect time to break out the white blazer that I bought during Zara’s online summer sale. I paired it with floral pants and black accessories for a sharp, yet flirty look. For more, check out how Jess, Tara, and Sara will be wearing white after Labor Day over at their blogs!
