feels like fall.

As an Arizona girl born and raised, I’m amazed that it already feels like fall in September.  I’m so excited for thicker layers and darker hues, but it’s probably a little early to completely switch out my wardrobe.  So while the seasons transition, I’ll be mixing both summer and fall elements into my outfits.

first week.

The view from my bedroom window.

It’s nearly been a week since I’ve been in NYC and today it finally hit me (during the most mundane activity) that I live here.  I’ve been patiently waiting for that moment to hit and when it did, I could not stop smiling.  For the past few months, I’ve been anxiously anticipating the big move, but for that one moment today, I felt overwhelmed with elation.  I’m so happy to be here and so lucky to have a few amazing friends that have taken me in during my first week.  I can’t wait to share all of my adventures with you, but for now, check out a few stunning views of NYC from my Instagram account.

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?
