eBay vintage fur coat, H&M black mesh top, Rumi Neely x RVCA triad tank, thrifted leather backpack

These are a couple post-shots of last week's much-anticipated Alexander Wang sample sale in NYC. I was anxious to take the most sporadic photos walking along SoHo with Lucas, but the frigid, almost face-knawing cold climate made it nearly impossible to whip out the cam. I don't even know how I managed to queue up for over an hour just to dive into those blessed sale bins and racks. I'm so happy I did though because I not only scored a tan cocoon cardi, gray knit romper and maxi dresses, but was also shot and interviewed by street style photographers like Sarah Cates of Refinery29 (here) and Marie Claire Andrea of AM New York - it was quite surreal. Ended the shopping trip early at a Starbucks on Spring and Crosby just cozying up with a warm cup of peppermint mocha and my trusty laptop. :)
