HOTEL FEAT. ROCKSBOX

I've talked about hotels a lot on this blog and their relevance in a ton of literature and movies I love (ummmm, cue the Grand Budapest + The Shining, legit, the two stories I never shut up about). But my by far favorite representation of a hotel (and a creepy one at that) has to be Ryan Murphy's version in his American Horror Story series (duhhh). What I love specifically about this particular season is really simple: I love the transcendence of the hotel throughout time -- I mean you have everything from the classic art deco historical side, to Lady Gaga's sci-fi blood storing rooms. Not only is the juxtaposition really interesting, it's kind of a creepy and beautiful commentary on what a hotel even is -- a place where people of all different walks of life pass through.  

For this look I wanted to pay a little tribute to Murphy's production, by starting with this off-the-shoulder art deco-looking jewel toned top. Find it here on sale at Nordstrom's! It's kind of a very different color for me (which I weirdly like) and I paired it with these killer patchwork jeans I picked up at a Pacsun outlet in the Adirondacks this past week. I can't seem to find 'em online (weird because they're new I believe), but this is a super cute similar pair. To add some sparkle I added this cute choker also from Pacsun, and these gorgeous hoops I got in my latest Rocksbox. To be real guys, I don't think I'd ever wear hoops unless I got them in this Rocksbox... so shoutout to my stylist there for picking 'em out.

P.S I've gotten SO many questions about this bathing suit in one of my latest Instagram posts. It's linked below in the shoppable section (scroll right!) (; x
