boy meets girl

Sometimes I like shopping in the mens or little boys section. I've been looking for a easy shirt for work day and weekend. I found the perfect one in the mens section at J.Crew.

J.Crew shirt, Club Monaco skirt, YSL shoes

I've been looking for these YSL shoes for awhile. Luckily, for me this past Spring I found them at the YSL outlet for an extra 50% off. I totally scored! 

fall back

It's been awhile since I've done an outfit post.

Fall is officially here in NYC. In a blink of an eye, the summer is gone. The cold weather and grey skies have brought on a slight seasonal depression. The only thing I do love, is layering! I'm still loving my grey sweatshirt from last season.

Gingham shirt from J.Crew, sweatshirt from American Apparel, skirt from Amanda Uprichard, tights from Club Monaco, necklace from Forever 21, shoes from YSL.

Been obsessed with this perwinkly blue color from Essie called Lapis of Luxury. They have the cutest names. It would be such a fun job to think of nail polish color names all day long.

 The return of the pointy toe shoes this season.

American Apparel top, Uniqlo jeans, Gap necklace, H&M bracelet, Gucci watch, Seychelles shoes.

I just dug out my American Apparel raglan pullover and forgot how much I love it. Its so comfy! I need to get more colors. I always have trouble finding jeans. Uniqlo's straight leg and skinny jeans fit perfectly and you cant go wrong with free hemming!


I found this bracelet at H&M for $5! I love its chunkiness.

This necklace was a steal from the Gap last summer. They have some really cute pieces in stores right now!

Lately, I've been gravitating to the jewelry section more and more. There's nothing like a big statement ring or necklace to pop an "old" outfit.

no. 6 black hole sun

I cant believe we're already in October! Time sure does fly and the temperatures have dropped accordingly. During the fall and winter months, my closet usually looks like a black hole like most New Yorkers. I've always been drawn to black and any shades of gray. Hence, my blog name.


Sisley blazer, Aqua sweater tunic, Gucci scarf, American Apparel leggings, Seychelles wedges.

Excuse the blur mark on my face. In the blogosphere, I like to stay somewhat anonymous.

The other day, I passed a consignment store near my work. They have an amazing shoe and bag selection. My two weaknesses. I scored these brand new Seychelles wedges for $45! I love the curve of the heel. They don't break my feet, which is always a plus!
