AUTHENTIC EMBROIDERY

Helena Tewolde November 3, 2016

Happy weekend! Its time to trade in your work pants for some comfortable jeans, I've been living in this pair from Gap since I got them! This season has been huge on embroidery and flower prints on everything to bomber jackets, bags, shoes to denim. We can blame Gucci for their fabulous embroidery, floral touches and old fashioned style and I'm not complaining. I now want all my jeans to have embroidery on them since they released their pre-fall collection. We cant all afford Gucci, but Gap definitely satisfied by crave for them! Shop here

GOLDEN AUTUMN

Helena Tewolde October 19, 2016

I've been loving mustard yellow lately in sweaters, dresses, bags and really everything that it comes in. Just when I thought it was getting cooler and summer was officially over, we get 80 degree weather in October! This dress has short sleeves which is perfect for the warmer fall days and I paired it with this lightweight kimono and felt hat to tie the look together.

BIRTHDAY BOTANCIAL GARDEN OOTD

Helena Tewolde May 21, 2016

To begin my birthday celebration, I joined my dad for breakfast at Ted's Bulletin at the Mosaic District. I chose the french toast with sides of hash brown and eggs, which was amazing! It was my first time eating here and can't wait to go back to try more of their food! They play classic television shows like I Love Lucy and old-fashioned songs which gives the place a timeless feel. After breakfast we headed to D.C to visit the US Botanical Garden!

SUEDE AFFAIR

Helena Tewolde December 9, 2015

Suede have been very big this season and a trend that will carry through winter. I thought I would incorporate it to my outfit for this look. I have chosen a suede draped vest from Max Studio and has a beautiful a symmetric style. It can be styled with many other outfits but I wanted to do an everyday/casual look also featuring my go to shoes to dress up any outfit.

FUR & LEATHER VIBES

Helena Tewolde November 26, 2015

This week has been pretty cold for fall and as November comes to an end I thought I would put together an autumn outfit before I have to wear layers of sweaters and jackets. This look incorporates leather which is a fall staple and fur which is a great transition piece from fall to winter.

Happy holidays and have a great week!

BEHIND THE LENS: GEORGETOWN

A few days ago, I headed to Georgetown in DC to do some shopping and explore the city. It was a cold day especially for this time of year but it was still beautiful and people were out and about doing their things. Here are some shots I took on my DSLR.

NEW YORK: DAY 1

Helena Tewolde April 3, 2015

Early on Wednesday morning my family and I made the 4 hour drive to New York City for 2 days during our Spring break! On this day we went to Manhattan and walked through the Financial District, SoHo and went on the Staten Island Ferry where we got a beautiful sunset view of the skyline and the Statue of Liberty.

In the City

Helena Tewolde March 29, 2015

It's the first day of my spring break and I started it off with a good old fashion shopping day. Its still cold here on the east coast but hoping for some warmer weather before break ends! Its hard to pick out what to wear when the weather starts changing and become stuck on wearing a light outfit but then have to hold a coat in case it gets too cold!So today I initially went for black tee with gold detailing, a leather jacket and jeans but then threw on my coat because it was a lot colder than I expected!

I actually bought this scarf while shopping to keep me warm!

Shake Shack

Helena Tewolde October 15, 2014

On Monday which was Columbus Day weekend we headed over to DC to try Shake Shack on F Street which has been getting a lot of news. The restaurant was packed when we entered and the employees were all very friendly.

I ordered the 'Shroom Burger which was the only veggie burger and is made out of mushrooms. I would definitely recommend it, its fried with mushroom and cheese cooked inside of it. The fries were also really good and I can say its the best veggie burger I've had in DC.

Black&White Shake(Chocolate & Vanilla)

Thanks for giving it a read!
