Hi my lovelies! So on Saturday I had the pleasure of going to Chelsea to look at a few galleries and I thought I'd share with you some of my favourites. The first one showcased the work of Swiss artist Claudia Comte in an exhibition called NO MELON NO LEMON. I absolutely loved the wooden sculptures on display and the space itself made you feel almost delirious, it was amazing.
The works of Erik Van Lieshout really caught my eye too. Entering the exhibition entitled "I am in heaven", you go through a dark tunnel (it was reminiscent of the scene in one of my favourite films Coraline where she crawls through to the alternate world) and you encounter a film (which I won't spoil for you incase you decide to go yourself!) A lot of his work explored consumerism, censorship, and the current social and political sphere so I'd definitely recommend going to see it if you're in New York or checking out his work online.
Finally, my favourite of all has to be Titus Kaphar's work. His exhibition Drawing the Blinds, examines a forgotten history and the whitewashing of history through his manipulation of what first appears to be classical and canonical imagery. It was so incredibly striking and left me lost for words.
If you ever happen to be in Chelsea I would most definitely recommend spending the day looking at some of of the 150+ galleries there and then popping over to Chelsea Market to get a bite to eat!

Hey everybody! It has been an incredibly long time since I last posted on the ol bloggy wogg and I have to extend my sincerest apologies! I have been a) super busy and b) considering the fact that is on average around -10 degrees celsius pretty much everyday here in New York, I haven't really been too keen to go outside and take outfit photos! However I thought I would do a lil update post for you guys! So it's my second semester studying here at NYU and I have to say that I feel like I've found my footing a lot more this semester; I'm feeling a lot more settled. I have been absolutely loving the courses I'm taking at the moment and have firmly decided that I'm going to major in Anthropology and minor in History which is really exciting as it feels really great to have a clear picture of where I want to go in life and I feel so much more calm when I think about the future (although it is still very scary to think about life in the real world). What I know, however, is that whatever I do in life, I want it to have some element of creativity. I realised this when was in the MoMa the other weekend; being surrounded by art is one of my favourite things.
I do have to admit that I miss home a lot, England will always have a special place in my heart, considering the fact that my family and some of my best friends are there, but I'm going home for spring break which is pretty exciting!
I'm currently scouting out some indoor places where I can take outfit posts that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye so watch this space! Also I have a mixtape in the works too!

JACKET TOPSHOP JUMPER AND TROUSERS AMERICAN APPAREL SHOES RUSSEL AND BROMLEY BAG ZARA
Hello my lovelies! I thought I'd share with you a lil outfit post, as it's been an eternity since I last posted one! As they say in Game of Thrones, Winter is coming (I cannot wait till it comes back in Spring by the way), and as the temperature descends, I have been layering up! This jacket from Topshop is probably one of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe at the moment, I haven't taken it off since I bought it, and although it's relatively light, it's still keeps you warm if you layer, layer, layer! Of course, I had to put a turtleneck underneath, and this one from American Apparel did the trick perfectly!
What are some of your favourite pieces to layer with this AW? Let me know down below!

Hello everyone! It has been way too long since I last spoke to you and I am so so sorry! As many of you may or may not know, I go to university in New York now, which is super exciting but also very tiring and hectic (hence the lack of outfit posts) but I promise I will get better at managing my time i.e. will post more blog posts. As a way of showing you a few things that I've bought recently for the big freeze here across the pond, I thought that I would do a little post about winter in New York and a few of my essentials. First of all, I bought this really cosy coat from Topshop; what I love about it is not only is the big fur collar warm but it's also detachable, and the sleeves are tapered in, meaning the cold will be kept out. I bought a pair of Uniqlo's heat tech gloves and not only are they warm, but they were great value. Of course, you need a pair of heavy duty boots and I decided on this pair from Dr Martens as they have great grip and are really chunky which I love. You may have noticed this from my instagram (find here!) but I have a new short 'do and with all this crazy wind, I've need grips to keep my hair out of my face, hence these ones from Madewell. I'm short-sighted and with all the extra darkness and snow I need all the help I can get to see (as I'm already incredibly clumsy), and was feeling a pair of new frames, so got these ones from Warby Parker; I love this brand so much because not only do they have an amazing range of frames at great prices but for every pair you buy, they donate a pair to someone in need! A lipstick which I'm in absolute love with is this one from MAC in Love Forever! And last, but by no means least, I have this jumper from American Apparel, which is fab at keeping you warm and looking good!
