Does this outfit look familiar? If so, that’s because I lifted it straight from this inspiration picture. Little white dress? Check. (Faux) leather jacket? Check. Pointed-toe pumps that I scored at T.J. Maxx for 5 bucks? Check.
I wore this on my first day of NYFW and it also happens to be the outfit I got snapped in for Essence Magazine’s NYFW Street Style round-up! When I found the picture online, I showed my sister, who told my brother, who told my parents, which lead each of them to call me separately about it. My dad said he didn’t know that I was “internationally famous” (As if! But that’s cute dad, thanks.) and my mom asked me to get as many copies of the magazine as I could (It’s only online mom, but you can send the link to anyone you want!). Sometimes my family really makes me laugh!

More NYFW coverage to come from the shows/presentations I attended last week, so stay tuned! Hope you all have a great weekend!
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]
