Halloween, the one day you can be anyone or anything you want. A sexy seductress, whimsical fairy tale character, frisky black cat, or even the classic witch; no matter what you are, have fun with it. Halloween only comes once a year ;)

There's nothing quite like a steaming cup of cider, a bag full of delicious treats, or crisp air filled with blowing leaves. All of these things give you a feeling that you will only come across on this one day. Halloween brings back childhood memories of sticky candy corn and the visits to the dentist that followed. You remember running down a chilly street, ringing countless doorbells.

I have thousands of Halloween memories, but one that stands out among the rest. After a long night of trick-or-treating my younger sister and I would come home and watch Tim Burton (one of my favorite directors) movie marathons. Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, and Sweeney Todd were among our favorites. As you must have guessed, this is why I posted this Tim Burton editorial; for your viewing pleasure, and my reminiscing.

So, what am I going to be, you ask? Well you'll just have to wait and see ;) I made my costume all by myself and I am actually very proud. It turned out much better than I expected. Previous costumes of mine include the likes of Little Miss. Muffet, a flapper, a lion, a witch, and Audrey Hepburn.

What are your Halloween plans, or memories? And what are you planning on being? :)

pretty please;

Mmm. Christopher Kane for Topshop. I need this dress ASAP.

one short day in the city;

Ah yes, the city. Of course my heart belongs to New York, but when you live six hours away that can't happen every weekend. So Boston, being only about two hours away, will have to do. I spent a rainy Sunday shopping around the city, sipping hot coffees, and to top it all off, dinner at a small (yet delicious) authentic italian restaurant. What better way to spend a Sunday? I've posted various pictures of one of my best friends and myself. We found an adorable picturesque park and decided to do some modeling. Now of course, we are not in any way professionals, nor were any of the shots good quality (mostly due to the rain). But we had fun. Guess which one is me ;)

I heart Vena Cava

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 (:

perfection.
