In the mood: Bushwick Staycation on Hancock Street

3.1 Phillip Lim for Target skirt and bag // BCBGeneration vest // Enzo Angiolini flats 

This past birthday weekend I decided to run for hills (away from this crazy city) and escape to Bushwick for a peaceful staycation on Hancock street. With Bushwick on the rise for an up and coming art, culture and fashion scene, I thought I would give you a little taste of my Bushwick experience. No matter when I decide to hang out in this hood, I never miss a night at Roberta's for some amazing stone oven pizza and hot toddies on the side.

The Comic Book Club is calling all #nerds. Dare to wear your brightest ketchup & mustard colors without fear of rejection this fall season. Check out 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target, which recently hit stores on September 15 to discover hidden gems that remind you of the comic book tears that sculpted your imagination throughout your childhood. 

Followed by my photos is a glimpse of the WGSN Retail Collection Review for the launch of 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target, that I was fortunate enough to have published through assisting WGSN's Associate Editor of Retail, Aria Hughes! It was a unique opportunity that I am forever grateful for. Not only did this report have me on the edge of my seat in anticipation for the collection, but I gained valuable knowledge from an extremely reputable and experienced professional in the field of Trend Forecasting.

                                This post goes out to the wild-western side of my style that I do long for in this concrete jungle. Midwest bohemian with a cowgirl spin has been all the rage in various Vogue editorials and Free People campaigns. Adorn yourself with sequin and beading detail for that extra saloon-girl nostalgia and slip on your modern day cowboy boots.

         Whether it's cooking pancakes and omelettes for breakfast in my Lower East Side kitchen or brunching it up on the weekends, this meal certainly beats out lunch and dinner for me. The vast options not only inspire my hunger pains when I awake, but always my ensemble choice that day.  With the "food cult" and meal-image-curation obsession on the rise, I was inspired by these whimsical and artful breakfast photos. There is nothing more enticing to me than waking up with the sun bursting through my windows, and waiting to start a fresh new day with a hearty breakfast and power look to go along with it. The new 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collection features this pajama-like tuxedo shirt that keeps my day at ease, and my new Halston bag serves up swag from the breakfast table to business meetings. I added a bit of playful inspiration from trouble-makers' perspectives,The Breakfast Club. 

Time to rise and grind....
