July 2013 – Skirt The Rules | NYC Style Blogger

Month: July 2013

It’s the last installation of my Summer in the City series with Lulu*s. So far, I’ve taken you to two of my favorite ‘hoods: East Village and Gramercy. Today, we’re heading uptown (just a smidge) to Bryant Park. It’s tied with Washington Square Park as my favorite places to kick back and do some major people watching.

Bryant Park was also the home to NYFW for over fifteen years. And although the tents have moved further uptown, I still can’t help but feel the need to look my best every time I stroll through the area. Bright colors and a bold statement necklace capture the boisterous spirit of the park in the summer.

Thank you for following me on this little journey throughout the city with Lulu*s! I fall more in love with NYC everyday and can only hope you’ve enjoyed a little slice of my heaven!

now & later: sam edelman wedges. 2 Replies

Sam Edelman Sutton Wedges — $87.99 (on sale!)

Whenever I go shopping, I make it a rule to only buy pieces that I can imagine myself wearing in at least two or three different outfits — a standard that helps me to prevent impulse purchases and saves me from buyer’s remorse later down the road.

Well, when I saw these these Sam Edelman wedges on sale, I immediately conjured up two different outfits: the first look still very much in a bright, summer mindset and the second being slightly toned down for fall. I love the looks equally and have pretty much convinced myself that these wedges pass the test! Leopard, after all, is a neutral. Which look is your favorite?

SHOP
1. Forever 21 Twist Cutout Cuff — $8.80
2. Gap Colorblock Leather Envelope Clutch — $35.95 (on sale!)
3. Urban Outfitters Silky Scallop Hem Dress — $59

This past weekend, the boyfriend and I drove up to Rhode Island for a little birthday getaway. We ate and drank our way through Providence and Newport, laid out by the sea, and hung out with the Vanderbilts. It was a quick trip, but packed with plenty of exploration and sightseeing.

For our stroll through the Brown University campus, I put on my version of the summer suit: a double dose of denim topped with a light gray blazer and cognac accessories. A little bit casual, a little bit collegiate and a whole lot of chic.
