Dress and Necklace- Forever 21 // Sunglasses- H&M // Shoes- Very.com
(all photos above taken by Alex– thanks lady!)
As you may be able to tell, these pictures were taken last month during fashion week. I picked up this little leopard print dress from Forever 21 and then wore it to Lincoln Center that weekend. I actually went on a bit of a leopard print shopping spree around that time; I remember when I had zero leopard print pieces, then in the span of like a week I bought this dress, leopard print flats and leopard print loafers, to add to my leopard print iPhone case. Yep, I think we can safely say that I went through a phase!
How was your weekend? Mine was very low-key, just like I wanted it to be. My room is coming together a bit more and I was so excited when the nail polish rack I ordered arrived on Friday. Now I finally have somewhere to house all of my polishes! I’m planning to do a dedicated post soon and show you you guys my stash ;)
The next thing I have to look forward to is my housewarming party! We’re throwing it this weekend and the theme is unsurprisingly Halloween. I still have tons to do before the party, including figuring out what snacks we’ll serve, choosing decorations, and figuring out my costume!
Tell me: Are you dressing up for Halloween? If so, what will your costume be?
![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?

I was definitely the same with leopard, like 0 to 60 (or probably more like 12) in only a few months.
Love this dress, everyone just looks so good in leopard!
Thank you Lydia! Yes, I remember you seeing you rock lots of great leopard pieces and I thought “I need to jump on this!” :)
OOh can’t wait to see your nail polish rack! I’ve been looking for a pair of leopard flats FOREVER… can’t go wrong in leopard :)
I got mine at Payless- under $20!
One can never have too much leopard, rawr indeed!
