New York Ephemera





What I'm Wearing: Zara Coat & Shirt, Topshop Sweater, Levi's Jeans & Office Shoes.

The highs, the lows, all lasting for a matter of moments. I often feel like a mayfly in this city. One day dining in New York's finest restaurants rubbing shoulders with the likes of Leo DiCaprio in TAO Downtown and the next sitting in Starbucks for an entire day fully utilising the unlimited wifi and free refills. Sometimes it's hard to keep up. What seem like days pass by in a matter of hours and every mere morsel of time here is spent keeping busy. Perhaps that's why I love this city so much. The never ending list of things to do. With nothing but a moment wasted. 

'YOUR eyes that once were never weary of mine
Are bowed in sotrow under pendulous lids,
Because our love is waning.'
And then She:
'Although our love is waning, let us stand
By the lone border of the lake once more,
Together in that hour of gentleness
When the poor tired child, passion, falls asleep.
How far away the stars seem, and how far
Is our first kiss, and ah, how old my heart!'
Pensive they paced along the faded leaves,
While slowly he whose hand held hers replied:
'Passion has often worn our wandering hearts.'
The woods were round them, and the yellow leaves
Fell like faint meteors in the gloom, and once
A rabbit old and lame limped down the path;
Autumn was over him: and now they stood
On the lone border of the lake once more:
Turning, he saw that she had thrust dead leaves
Gathered in silence, dewy as her eyes,
In bosom and hair.
'Ah, do not mourn,' he said,
'That we are tired, for other loves await us;
Hate on and love through unrepining hours.
Before us lies eternity; our souls
Are love, and a continual farewell.' 
William Butler Yeats

Tweed Sweater



What I'm Wearing: Zara Tweed Sweater, MissGuided Skater Skirt & Office Flatforms.

Is it correct that black, well, is the new black? You can never go wrong with it. It flatters like everyone and matches with everything. Black is so totally a winner. After stealing this  tweed-esque sweater from my sister thanks Jesse, I couldn't wait to team it with some monochrome accessories for a dinner with the girlies. Found these absolute bargain flatforms in the Office  sale. I am not one for sale shopping in the slightest, elbowing women out the way in order to get your hands on whats about to become last seasons stock - no thank you, I'll pass on that. But popping into my local Office branch to pick up a pair of classic Van's for my Dad I know what a style icon, I spotted these for a mere £8 - ridiculous I know. Heading off to one of my absolute favourite restaurants in London & NYC tonight, Balthazar - be sure to follow me on instagram @georgiabenj to check out some of the delicious dishes.

Friday

Slouch



What I'm Wearing: ASOS Coat, Zara Knitted Tee, Topshop Cardi, Dorothy Perkins Skirt & Converse High-Tops.




Ridiculously comfortable in this casual slouchy ensemble. Been feeling a bit under the weather recently, cold, flu the usual drill, this dissertation malarkey is really getting me down, but only 14 days till hand in. I feel as though I should just bring an overnight bag to the library and move in for a week till this dam thing is done. I wish I could say thank god its Friday, but sadly no good news for me as the library is open all weekend. See you tomorrow Brotherton Library. Hope you all have a great weekend (of which none of it should be spend in nor anywhere near a library).
