Nowadays you can spot trench coats everywhere wether its a classic, leather, denim, more light weight, or duster-like. The trench coat is always an impeccable choice – simply because it’s functional and trendy at the same time.

Trench




One of the simplest questions "What's your favorite color?" I never have an answer until now. This color has been everywhere advertising campaigns, clothing, instagram. This pale pink, a little different from a baby pink, but not quite sure what to call it pink? I've been aware of it but now I'm in love. After visiting Sicily this summer all the colors were so inspiring and included this pink, tans and yellows, earth tone pinks, and that was the tipping point for myself and Millennial Pink. 

"Remember when pink was déclassé? Pink used to be Malibu Barbie and Bubble Yum and all the bright plastic items that many of us in this particular group were steered away from as kids. And that specific shade of pink is not the one that’s resurfaced. Instead it’s ironic pink, pink without the sugary prettiness. It’s a non-color that doesn’t commit, whose semi-ugliness is proof of its sophistication." -Veronique Hyland, NY Mag

Included in this post are a few of my favorite new products. I finally decided to try out some Glossier and they definitely live up to the hype. My favorite is the Stretch Concealer and the Boy Brow. I've been looking for a brow gel that holds up throughout the day for a long time, and I've finally found it, most days I don't even feel the need to fill in my brows along with the gel. The stretch concealer has medium coverage and you don't even feel it on your skin, I use a beauty blender with it on my cheek bones and it gives a nice dewy look, I don't even need a highlighter.

While my friend Giulia came to visit NYC from the UK, I think it's the most creative I've been in a long time. Really encouraging me to go out and shoot and just explore the city while showing her around, activities that become very rare during the school year. I'll be posting some photos I shot of her soon, in the meantime here are some photos she took of me!

I've been back in New York for about 2 months now, school has started and I am back in the swing of things. If you follow me on Instagram you will know that I was studying and working in London this summer! and traveling Europe a bit. My plan had been to blog about my journey each week but work caught up with me as well as enjoying the new city a little too much and I accidentally went MIA from That Denim Purse. 
My time in London was amazing but I was also a bit relieved to be back in New York. I'm ready to keep taking on this city but I will always have London in the back of my mind. I hope to return there as soon as I can. 
I have some new posts lined up for the blog and I am super excited about it! This summer has definitely been eye opening and I want to start incorporating more of my interests and what I do into this blog rather than simple personal style posts. So stay tuneddd. ..

I think everyone who reads this blog by now knows that denim is always my favorite trend whether it be jackets, pants, or overalls, etc. Cropped denim has definitely been taking over the world of street style and I love every minute of it. With the raw frayed bottoms they just look so relaxed and casual. I'm loving this pair I got on ASOS with the wide leg, culotte like silhouette and frayed bottom they are likely my favorite thing in my wardrobe at the moment.
(I've provided links to items still in stock or similar items above!)

With this new spring weather comes warm days and chilly nights. The key to pulling most outfits together I'd say is to have the perfect jacket. Light jackets like long blazers, dusters, and trenches are some of my favorite pieces and always key to finishing a look. 
  This Bellfield Opulus blazer has been perfect for this weather and so versatile for any look, school, a day off, or even work. Bellfield is a great womens and menswear brand that is really light and minimal, they have so many great pieces I can't wait to get my hands on. You can check out their womenswear here, and find the Opulus Blazer on this page here. You can use this code BLOG20 for 20% off full priced products!


Took these photos the other day walking through Nolita with my best friend Jordyn Ferriss, She's truly a great photographer. I'm so excited that she will be coming to visit me in London this summer :)
