bonjour 2020

after a quick train ride from london, we arrived to the city of lights! paris has always been my favorite city (did you know i studied abroad here!?) and i was so excited to be back…especially to ring in the new year! while we opted for a more low key itinerary compared to london, we did have a few highlights on the schedule! the first being our “big” plans on new years eve - we went to go see swan lake! i know…the provost are crazy party animals haha! and our big meal of the trip was to le jules verne: restaurant in the eiffel tower by michelin-starred chef frédéric anton.

there's no place like chrome

while i’m not really a fan of halloween…i know shocking because of how much i love fall…i couldn’t resist getting in the spirit when the invite to caroline’s wizard of oz themed bash came around. while i had the dorothy shoes already in my closet, i opted for put on a silver sequin suit and go as the tin man! …well if the tin man and carrie bradshaw hung out on a regular basis haha!

is it too late to say happy new year? haha!

after taking nearly one month off (with the exception of yesterday’s post), i’m finally back and ready for action! the end of 2018 was quite the whirlwind by closing out the year with a trip to africa and 2019 has already been jam packed with so many exciting things! i promise i will be posting all about my trip to africa soon but i seriously needed to post this sequin cape because the christmas trees behind me already date these photos…oopsies!

rockin' around the christmas tree

as i briefly mentioned here, the days leading up to christmas, i was surprised with the news that the camp we were staying at in africa did not have wifi (like i was initially told). but i’m clearly not still bitter about it….nooooooo haha!

this was the one post i was extra excited to post this year because it is my annual lotte palace hotel christmas tree shoot! this is by far my (and every other blogger in new york’s) favorite christmas tree in the city. one reason why i love this the most is that the crowds are manageable and you are able to go right up to the tree - no barricades! oh, and of course i always have fake wrapped christmas gifts…duh!

so in any case, merry christmas! i hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday with your families!

golden girl

one of my favorite things about the holidays are the opportunities to dress up! even if you’re overdressed for the dinner party, people just get it during this time of year! while i won’t officially be wearing this dress until an event back in michigan in january, this dress initially caught my eye for the annual met holiday party. i ended up re-wearing this dress from over the summer with a turtleneck underneath just because i wasn’t able to get the dress hemmed in time (but i obviously wanted to keep it long for these photos because #drama).

faux real

faux fur is for real this season! with the temperatures hovering over freezing, i knew i couldn't beat mother nature for spring to get here so i'm compromising and strutting around town with this faux fur coat in my favorite color! perfect for the days when i want it to be spring, but it's still frigid. paring this coat with a little sequined blouse and purple pants (because duh) and i was out the door!

'tis the sequin

i can't believe 2018 is just around the corner and i'm sharing my last outfit post of the year with you all! of course, in new year's fashion, it needed to involve sequins, and in true "allie" fashion, it needed to be pink! so let's all have a big "pop, fizz, clink!" and have the most amazing new year's yet!

rain or shine

whenever i travel or have an outdoor event, i check the weather obsessively. as in i whip out the radar and become the female al roker. so before leaving for london, i knew rain was going to be inevitable...it was just a matter of when it was going to happen. the weather predictions seemed to change every 10 minutes so we left a lot of our planning up to fate. aside from the crazy winds our first day there (anyone remember the snap of dana's hat flying off!?), the weather seemed to be on our side. but there was one morning where we weren't so lucky.
