Getting an IUD.
You're seeing the face of a woman who is on cloud nine. You wouldn't know it just by looking but this version of Ally took a pretty huge step in her life. I owe no one an explanation but I felt like sharing in case others may end up here and wanted some insight or an opinion on it. Even yesterday I got a few DMs about it.
maybe ally...sees "Back to the Future: The Musical”.
If you've been here a while you knew this day was coming. Finally got to see Back to the Future The Musical on Broadway! It was a nice Sunday matinee at the theatre & the perfect way to end my solo weekend.
This Outfit is Heavy!
It's hard, to sum up what these films mean to me. Escapism was very real in my household. My life growing up was hard. I always imagined traveling with Doc to times I’d always wanted to see. The creation of the pyramids, the first flight! You name it I wanted to go. They helped me. They inspired me.
Hi Barbie. Hi Ken!
Did you hear the news? @heruniverse has a brand-new collection inspired by the one and only Barbie! The collection debuted last week and is so fun, flirty & PINK! The collection features iconic looks inspired by everyone's favorite doll!
Feelin’ Lizzie.
What dreams are made of!
You all know I love to wear lots of colors as the weather gets warmer so when you get gifted the most colorful dress around you frolic around Manhattan with it.
DISNEY100 AT THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE.
Oh, what fun! Headed to Philly and more specifically to @franklininstitute to see Disney100: The Exhibition. It was a real treat for fans of Disney looking to see rare costumes, learn about how some of the most famous characters in Disney history came about & much more!
TRAVEL: Philidelphia.
Once again Philly brought us joy, good food & a good time. It’s always a short but good time here.
LONDON FASHION: WHAT DID I WEAR?
I was so happy in London. My goodness, I was so pleased in London! Please remind me that if I ever leave New York I will move to London. What a city. I could go on and on for hours about how much I loved it there but instead, I will focus on fashion!
The Sharpest Coat I’ve Ever Owned.
A little commotion for the coat, please.
It broke my heart to leave this incredible Italian wool jacket at home. I had to leave it at home for our Paris/London trip because it’s a thick boy! & we had a lot more important things to bring. Alas, it was the first thing I wanted pictures of when we got back.
TRAVEL: Disneyland Paris
It felt like home, to be honest—3 years of waiting to get to a Disney park again. The last one I was in was out of the U.S. and Japan. Maybe that’s my new thing? Whatever it is May always involves a little magic & lots of travel.
TRAVEL: LONDON
I mean it when I say that. London really did change my life. The thing is that I don’t know if it’s for the good or bad yet. It remains to be seen whether or not my world spins around because of it. For context, I’d been trying to convince myself to leave New York City for some time, and while I always dreamt of San Francisco I found London to be a very close second. This trip decided me that I’d love to live there one day.
BACK TO STONEY CLOVER!
Headed back to Stoney Clover Lane! Why? because I needed a few things patched! & also if you’ve been living under a rock they’ve slowly become one of my favorite places to shop at,
WINTER FAVORITES: HATS.
You know how much I love a good hat. A quick search of the word on the site & you’ll find a plethora of blog posts all about them.
NEW PIECES IN MY SCL COLLECTION.
I haven’t been able to go back for some time now, and I need some things patched (i’ll write about that in December) but I want to show you all that I’ve been buying lately & give you some links so you can shop it as well!
BAUBLEBAR X DISNEY HOLIDAY COLLECTION
it’s really the cutest! Make sure you check out @baublebar for the latest holiday collection featuring all your Disney favorites! I got the cutest Mickey Santa Bag Charm & beautiful Christmas Tree Drop Earrings.
maybe ally…Tries Gigi Pip.
Honestly, where does one begin with my love of hats. Even before I worked at that hat shop years ago I loved hats. I always felt like they were the perfect accent to any outfit.
FAVORITE FALL JACKETS.
When it comes to a jacket you wanna spend the money. I consider them to be legacy pieces that you’ll keep (sometimes) for a lifetime and deserve the chance at life so to speak. So with that in mind I love Everlane for jackets, J.Crew has fantastic jackets & coats (for colder weather). L.L. Bean is great for all weather coats (think rain & snow).
FALL FASHION: WHAT TO WEAR THIS SEASON
Here’s a quick breakdown of all the colors & trends to try for the season. It’s a lot of the same players with browns, soft prints and dusty pastels but other colors and trends gave me a bit of a surprise. check through everything and shop fall favorites below.
WE ARE GOING TO PARIS!
So now that you know about the next vacation. Here’s what i’m doing to prep for it. Because I know it’s our first international trip since covid began, Parisians have specific standards, and I’d like to not look like a complete idiot
TRAVEL: LAS VEGAS
I wrapped up my vegas content on IG but had to bring some of it to the blog. I just wanted to say I had a pretty amazing time in a place that a lot of people say is just for a weekend. If you dig deeper there is plenty to take up more than a weekend. It really depends on what you’re there for.
