Float Away

As school ended, I started having more time on my hands to explore the city. After some shopping on a dewy day, (I scored some boots for ~$20 at Nordstrom Rack), my friends and I hit up Brooklyn for some famous soda floats at the Farmacy. 

Diner style straw holders resting on a chess board. (One of many available vintage board games).

(L to R: Root Beer Soda Float, Sundae, & Pink Poodle Soda Float)

     

Outfit: NastyGal moto, UO Ouija muscle tee, AE velvet skirt, Steve Madden boots.

So far, Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain has been my favorite stop off the F train. These were the best soda floats I've had, though I'll be honest.. I've only had a few in my lifetime. The menu is HUGE which would normally overwhelm me, but I honestly just want to keep going back to try all the flavors. (Which I definitely plan to do.) I had the pink poodle, which I liked because the fruity soda didn't make the ice cream too heavy. Be careful not to order too much though! My group got a soda float per person and a sundae, and we definitely underestimated 1. the size of the sundae, and 2. our available ice cream take for the day. Moving on, another thing to note is the adorable decor. I'm a sucker for vintage things, which was all around the venue, from the fridge to the table settings, and even the Farmacy's history. 

Be Mine

As Valentines Day approached, I made a video encompassing some outfits inspired by the holiday. ♥ 

Bitter Hearts: 

You could say this first outfit is more of an "anti-valentines" day outfit. The way I see it, Valentine's Day is a day to celebrate love and relationships, but it's also a day to celebrate being single. So I commemorated my independence and told the boys to dream on and get lost with this shirt from Drop Dead Clothing. 

A White Affair: 

Usually my outfits encompass lots and lots of black. I stepped a little out of my comfort zone and into the territory of my sister's closet. What resulted actually made me feel incredibly empowered, feminine, and just all around good. The white dress gave way to a simple, sophisticated, and pure look. Oh, how I underestimated this color. 

Choke Me Softly: I coordinated this outfit based on my black heart choker, with the goal of toning down its edginess. While the choker adds a little bit of a kinky edge, the pastel floral skirt tones gives the outfit a girly touch.

 

You Blue It: 

A blue themed outfit with a sassy name. The name basically says it all. This one is for the one who won't be spending Valentine's with me. 

Warm Me Up: 

This cutesy outfit is perfect for a coffee date. I wore a bold red lip and toned it down with a salmon pink dress. I'm usually not a huge fan of pink, so I threw on my favorite cardigan to make myself more comfortable. Plus, this soft additive will make your date want to hug you even more.
