Pool Shark

Gifted free people shirt, bcbg pants, boyfriend's flannel, denim jacket from New Mexico, target shoes

These pictures are from earlier this week, I've been meaning to get them up, but alas...laziness. This day was spent in and around Central Park. After a birthday lunch with my dad in midtown, I walked up fifth avenue and found myself lost in the Central Park Zoo. I spent time watching seals swim effortlessly through the water, always popping their heads above the surface in the same spot. Even when it started to rain, Central Park was more beautiful than ever.

At this point of fall, I pretty much always have a flannel tied around my waist. Not only does it play into my current fashion style, titled 'disney grunge,' but it's also great for the massive temperature changes throughout the day. I'm obsessed with this shirt, given to me by a friend. I wore it to work alot this summer because it's perfect for an office or class (with a sweater) or for going out to drinks. Francescaand I met up near Central Park after class and found ourselves at a happy hour on the Upper East Side, an area where I've never spent that much time. After a few drinks, Francesca and I started playing pool, something she claims she's never done, but she was suspiciously good for a beginner....a pool shark in disguise. 

We later joined a couple guys while they played pool, not contributing much skill-wise and refusing to tell the truth. They asked us what we were doing there, we said we were hired to exterminate the poltergeist that was haunting the bar, but were killing time until the witching hour. They asked us what we liked to eat, we said raw meat. Maybe it's because halloween is around the corner, but we were in a witchy mood with no interest in playing into their flirty game.

Fall Break

F21 jacket, H&M tank, free people pants, vintage bag, thrift Jeffrey Campbell platform creepers

Yesterday was one of those perfect fall break days where you think you're going to go to the library to do work and then somehow end up miles from where you expected to be. Chloe and I decided to take advantage of our day off by doing some work and then heading over to Williamsburg. It's so close, but it's somewhere I rarely ever think of going for a bite or happy hour special. Our first stop was the thrift store Fox & Fawn. I snagged these Jeffrey Campbell platform creepers for cheap! I've been coveting creepers, basically forever, and decided I couldn't pass up on this deal. I left the store 6 inches taller with my sneakers in my bag and these babies on my feet. I quickly made Chloe snap some photos of me in my new shoes before heading to a random bar for happy hour. 

Next we went to Union Pool. I bar that has been on my Brooklyn to do list for a while. With cheap beer, a photobooth and an outdoor taco truck, I was one happy gal. We had planned to meet up with friends and head out for dinner, but ended up staying there the whole night and eating some chorizo tacos from the El Diabolo truck. We talked and played games in between trips to the photobooth. They had free music at a tiny venue that we had to check out. I danced to an awesome jazz band featuring an older lady playing the sax in a sweet poncho and a bassist wearing no shoes. All the while, my feet were comfortable as can be in these shoes!

This morning Chloe and I went out and bought a couple little pumpkins. We sat on the floor of the deck carving them while our halloween cat investigated. A successfall break....get it? Nevermind.
