This Dream Child

Alas, the time has come. Packing. 
I really, really, really hate packing. With a passion.

So, to make myself feel better about having to do this mundane and stressful task, I thought I'd make it into a blog post and share a few things that I'll be bringing to NYC with me!

First things first. What I'll be wearing on the plane tomorrow.

(Wow this photo is really terrible)

Photo quality aside, this is what I'll be wearing on the plane tomorrow sans the tights and my white flats. I've recently rediscovered this tulle dress (that I bought from Target) and I'm downright obsessed with it. It's so cute and puffy and twirly and it's the softest shade of pink, and I feel so beautiful wearing it. The bodice is also lace-y and I feel like a ballerina prancing around in it. That's also my thrifted scarf, and I'll be toping it all off with this long beige coat I got from Forever 21. I love long coats.

So here are the products I'll be bringing for my face/makeup. My favorite dark purple/red lipstick from Urban Decay, a shimmery blue/green/gray/silver eyeshadow from Sephora (it's called Mermaid's Tail), my LUSH moisturizer and toner, my eyebrow creator pencil from Benefit, Bobbi Brown Gel Liner because it literally gives me life, and my Rosebud Salve that I bought yesterday and now swear by. It's FANTASTIC and it smells SO GOOD and it makes my lips SO SOFT. 

Wow, I love everything in this photo.

Here are a few accessories that I'll be bringing. There's the red scarf (again), my beautiful, lovely, royal (and hella expensive) necklace + cuff set, my Karen Walker sunglasses that make me look like a chic insect, and my trusty Daisy Perfume. It'll make me smell like spring so I can at least pretend the weather's going to get better.

Ok but can we talk about the jewelry for a sec.

This necklace and cuff set cost $189. This is probably the most expensive thing I own, but holy shit do I not regret purchasing this. I love, love, love, this set so much. It is beautifully handcrafted, and the wire is so sturdy. It complements literally all of my outfits. I know that out of everything I bring to Teen Vogue, this will get everyone's attention. (Which I want because I need a summer internship.)

Finally, since I'll be dishing out $369 to stay two nights in a four star hotel, I might as well dress myself the fanciest outfit I own, aka this silk slip dress. It is so beautiful and comes with a matching silk robe, and I will sink into the fancy bed in my fancy slip and fall into a fancy sleep. I intend to make the most of my night in that hotel. Maybe I'll even spritz myself a few times with my Daisy perfume before bed. Who knows. It'll be two wild nights.

Anyways, this is all I've managed to take photos of. I'm really not sure what else I'm going to bring (which is a problem since I'm leaving tomorrow at noon--oops) but look forward to my first BLOGGING POST tomorrow night!!! Hopefully I won't get lost in New York.

Until then.💕💕💕
