Now that New York is finally becoming warm again, I can finally dress in the way I was so accustomed to in California and that makes me feel a lot more at home! (Perpetually going to be at conflict with dressing practically in a New York winter and dressing how I want were it a California winter!) Now layering is no longer required for the sake of warmth and I can bring out my favorite lightweight coats, like this textured coat from Zara. I love the raw finish and tattered feel of the fabric—it reminds me of terry cloth but with much more of an edge.

I coordinated it with this peach colored scarf for a subtle variation in color and wore this long sleeve white bodycon dress underneath, both pieces which are from Tobi! For jewelry, I am wearing another gorgeous set of jewelry from my favorite jewelry designer, Susanna Galanis <3 This it actually two necklaces layered together and I love the contrast in the pairing of this more textured necklace against the purer and softer elements in the crystal and cameo necklace. And lastly, I wore my black patent boots to inject a bit of toughness in this very light colored look.

There's only 2 more weeks left in my semester until I get to come home for the summer and everything is crazy and hectic as usual but I'm quite excited to share with you guys some photos of my work from this semester in my Creative Tech class (which is a fancy name for fashion construction.) This semester we've been working on 6 garments which we coordinated as a mini capsule collection and since we are shooting a lookbook for it, I'll have really nice photos of each piece to post, so look out for that pretty soon ;) Thanks for reading and I hope you guys all have a wonderful week!
