Southern New Yorker Turns 1!

Southern New Yorker Turns 1!

One year ago today, my very first post was published on Southern New Yorker, and the journey began. From figuring out what to write, how to manage social media, and learning what a widget even was, I have loved turning my passion for fashion and beauty into something that I could truly be proud of, and I want to thank all of you for supporting me this past year! 

On this blog-aversary I wanted to take a look back at some of my favorite, most popular, and maybe not-so-good-but-funny posts, as well as share some of my favorite blogs that have inspired me!

Back with my favorite looks of the month! This is my first lookbook done in Texas, thanks to my gorgeous friend Lauren (who makes a cameo towards the end!) I'm about to head back to NYC soon, so stay tuned next month for February's lookbook!

I am lucky enough to have a grandmother with impeccable taste, and she has slowly passed down a few gorgeous vintage items to me, including this cream and brown silk scarf. I'll admit, at first I wasn't quite sure how to work this little gem into my wardrobe.

Taking cues from effortlessly chic Parisian style, I simply knotted it over a burgundy button-down, light brown leather jacket, pixie pants, and ballet flats. I made sure to keep the makeup simple, with just a touch of brown shadow and light-pink lipstick by Jouer in the color Meredith.

The last lookbook of the year! Some of my favorite outfits from this past month, as well as a cameo by my hilarious and adorable roomie, Julia (Hey Jule). As this goes up, I'm finally back home in Texas for the holidays (watch out for a Christmas vlog!).

This morning I was greeted with a deer-in-headlights stare from my roommates, as I walked out of my room wearing JEANS. Actual denim pants. To be honest, the main reason for it was that none of my usual trousers or pants looked quite right with this J.Crew Vest (which I'm obsessed with). 

The vest is red and navy, so I threw this navy sweater (similar) underneath, and added a little sparkle with this crystal statement necklace (similar) from J.Crew Factory. Finally, I cuffed up the jeans and threw on my favorite brown ankle boots (similar)!

If I had to wear one outfit everyday, for the rest of my life, it would be this dress! It is the most comfortable and flattering dress I've ever owned. (SO many compliments!) Plus, it looks a bit more chic than your average maxi dress. I paired it with my favorite gold sandals from LOFT, earrings from Target, and DVF Micro Milo bag!

I have always been a bit of a bookworm, and I love tons of different types of books. Today I thought I would share a few titles that I have been particularly loving lately!

If you're a The Bachelor/Bachlorette fan, you will freak over this future-meets-fairytale novel! Dangerous love-triangles, conflicting feelings, and dystopian influences made this novel a huge hit in my view. I just finished Book 3: The One, and I can't wait to start Book 4! Kiera Cass has quickly become one of my favorite authors! (Also, can we take a moment to mention the covers? They're STUNNING. I have them all on my Kindle, but I almost wish I had them all hardcopy just for that!)

I absolutely adored these two reads by Lauren Conrad! Her effortless yet chic style has definitely become one of my inspirations. I swear I've read them both cover-to-cover 3 times!
