OOTD: warm winter day

The other day it was warm in New York. During the winter.  

I love Union square.

NYC fashion week OOTD

It's been a boring week. It snowed every other day here in not so sunny NYC. I love New York but the winters are brutal. I bought rain boots and let me tell you; that those things have saved my life and feet. It was fashion week here in New York City which I spent in class. (I read through every fashion bloggers' account of fashion week in class.)
So here's what I wore inside. Outside you can find me as a walking marshmallow of warmth.

Sweater: H&M  | Jeans: Bullshead  | Sneakers: Converse | Beanie: Necessary Clothing | Messy bedroom/mirror selfie: DIY 

 By the way, the Hudson river in the middle of winter is, I swear, the most beautiful thing ever. The way the whole thing ices over then cracks and melts. Then all thats left is chunks of ice and snow just floating there. Plus the mountains are just breathtaking. I will always love the city but, sometimes the rest of the state is pretty cool too. 

Trend report: dressed up ripped jeans

Are ripped jeans back? According to street style bloggers, tumblr, lookbook, etc. they are. I guess they never really went out of style but ripped jeans seem to be so chic and stylish lately. I can't get enough. Ripped jeans have come back in a new way. Everyone has or had a pair that was worn super casually. Those ripped jeans were the boyfriend jeans: long, over sized, baggy, and ripped. I was never a huge fan of those because well, I never really loved the whole menswear trend. Call me and anti-feminist or something but I kind of like dressing like a woman. Sorry.

I love this trend because its no longer a casual piece. I love these with heels and leather jackets and a pop of color on a leather bag.

This is something great because you can still wear these while it's cold and winter is ending but they can't be transitioned into spring. I, myself love normal ripped denim but simple black ones are super chis too. I think my ultimate pair or ripped jeans would be skinny, black, and ripped just on each knee. I'm still on the hunt for a pair of those.

Let me know what you think of this not so new trend.
