friday night l i g h t s *

Driving down to Boston to party with all my favorite girls. I'm rather excited as this past week has been filled with nothing but honors advanced algebra and trigonometry, which is hardly my cup of tea (saying I don't like math is an understatement). So, what are my plans for the rest of the night? A dip in the pool, dinner with the girls at my favorite little Italian restaurant, roaming the city streets and hopping around to some of our favorite hot spots. After that, who knows? The night's still young ;) Surely tomorrow will be filled with various spa services, breakfast in bed, hot green tea, and shopping excursions. Then I'm back to reality.

I'm ready to party ♥

What are your weekend plans darlings?

Topshop, please

Yes, these are indeed the Topshop purchases I made while in NYC! I will tell more about the trip later, but I figured this was the most important part of my trip :) So to begin, Topshop = heaven. After saving up all summer, you can imagine these purchases were tough to make. It's not often that I'm in the city, once a year (twice, if I'm lucky). So after much debate, these seven items ended up on top. They seemed as if they would fit right in with the other items in my wardrobe, yet also add to it.

Floral Bodycon. I love this dress. Ever since I first laid eyes on it online, I knew it had to be mine. This dress + my trusty grey cardigan + tights/stockings equals a winter outfit, that is perfect for autumn in school. I don't own many patterns, or florals for that matter, so this purchase was very important to me.

Plum Cardigan. I adore the color of this cardigan. Plum, has always, and will always be one of my most wanted colors for fall clothing and nail polish. I own loads of grey, and black cardigans, but never have I bought one in plum.

ANIQUE Stud Toe Ankle Boots. I cannot put my adoration for these boots into words. They may be an impulse buy (seeing as I cannot really wear them to school). However I will get quite a bit of use out of them. I have been contemplating if these ankle boots were a wise purchase, but I've finally decided not to second guess myself, and simply rock the boots.

I HEART NYC Tank. This one is easy to explain. I really do love NYC. And I have always longed for a tee or tank that would express that. Plus, Topshop has fabulous tanks.

Knitted Cowl Neck Top. Not to grungy, yet not to girly. This top was definitely on the top of my list. I will get plenty of use out of it.

Lace Dress. Lace is ever so lovely. I simply had to buy this. I'm infatuated with that classic type of look. With this dress, I will be able to achieve that, but also put my own spin on it.

Bodycon Dress. My mouth waters at the sight of this dress. I will wear this to the next party I attend. Trust me, this dress will be in constant rotation in my closet.

My Favorite! THE Grey Leather Studded Jacket. I did not own a leather jacket until I purchased this. Now, I officially own a STUDDED leather jacket! Ah, a dreamy combination & a wardrobe staple.

So, which purchase is your favorite?

New York, I Love You

I know I have been absent from the blog for the last week or so, and it is due to the fact that I took a little trip to Boston. Hopefully I will have a post to come about that trip in the future. Maybe you're wondering, if Laur took a trip to Boston, why do a see a picture of NYC? The reason is this: I have quite a few relatives that live in Alpine New Jersey and I'm leaving tomorrow to stay with them for the rest of the week. This, my darlings, means I will be able to visit the city, which is only about a 15 minute drive from Alpine! I am very excited as I haven't been able to visit Topshop yet. When I return, I promise the frequency of my posts will return tomorrow.. Hopefully the second installment to my Gossip Girl Style Series. However school starts this upcoming Tuesday, so who knows :(

Anyways, goodbye for now! I'm off for a short weekend in the city (:

Oh, New York

If you have been wondering where I've been for the past week, well, I've been walking to streets of NYC! The band and chorus at my school always goes on amazing field trips, and this year it was to New York. Ahhh perfect timing. It was quite fun strolling around the city with the majority of my high school. Definitely unforgettable. Oh, and we competed in a music festival. Lots of big New Jersey and New York bands were no match for our little New Hampshire band; we got first place! :D I hope everyone had a fabulous week!
