Bebe in the Upper West Side












     I had such a fun time with one of my best friends Bebe this week in the Upper West Side! We're organizing a group of amazing and talented people to submit a video for the Macy's Acapella Contest to win $25,000 for our school (I strongly suggest everyone checks it out because it's a great way to raise money for your school as well as get together with your friends and make something amazing)! After we came up with some voice parts, we decided to go to this really nice thai food place and tried some really delicious stuff (like the thai iced tea pictured above). It was so great getting to do this photoshoot while hanging out and just playing around with light and shadows!

     Get Bebe's Look: White Tank Shirt from Topshop, Lilac Mesh Shirt from LF, BDG shorts from Urban Outfitters, Socks from Champion, Sneakers from Adidas, Sunnies from Warby Parker, Black Shoulder Bag from Blue Lemon Paris, Bracelets (were made by Bebe herself!), Gold Digital Watch from Casio, Gold Chain Necklace by Robin Landau, and all of Bebe's rings were collected over time from Paris and family members. 

     Style Inspiration: "Cosette Style!! I'm kidding! Kylie Jenner! I'm kidding. I actually don't exactly have a specific person I look to for style inspiration but I like to wear neutral things and a lot of rings and bracelets but keep everything very chill. Almost every morning before school I text my squad of friends who are all hype beasts and into the latest trends to make sure that my outfit is wearable, and we'll all go shopping together to pick out outfits, which is always really helpful."

     What are some of your favorite things to do? : "After school almost every day (when the weather permits it) I meet up with my group of friends consisting of six boys that wear Supreme, Kith, Bape, etc. and we all get ice coffee or a snack after school then hang out for a bit. On a school night, I'd go home and do homework then go to Taekwondo at seven, but on a Friday, we'd go down to Soho for a meet up or just to check out the latest Supreme drop. I love living in the city because you can get anywhere anytime with the train, you don't have to depend on your parents to drive you places. The independence is like no other, and I'm thankful I get to experience that with such a great group of kids who influence my style ;) ."
