I turn 27 years old today and as I teeter on the brink of my late twenties (my friends and I agreed that I’m still in my mid until next year!), I’ve realized that as much as I have already accomplished, there’s still so much left to do and experience. This year, I’ve created a list of goals — both large and small — to accomplish by the time the next birthday rolls around.

You know how you can suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder from lack of sunlight in the winter? Well I’m pretty sure you can get it from too much humidity in the summer. Last week was quite possibly the hottest, muggiest week of my entire life and the extended heat wave affected my mood, my energy and my motivation to do anything.
Thankfully, blogging keeps me inspired to get dressed in the morning — against all desire just to lay in bed by the air conditioner. So when it comes time to pull together an outfit, the creative juices start flowing, leading me to refresh an old top (last seen here) and an old skirt (last seen here) into a revamped outfit with a rejuvenated outlook on the day.

It’s round two of my Summer in the City with Lulu*s series and this time, I’m taking you into my neck of the woods: Gramercy. It’s a gorgeously historic area, complete with a beautiful residential buildings and a private park that requires a key for entry. And even though I am not a keyholder, I still love taking a casual stroll through the area on my way to brunch — soaking up the quiet little ‘hood and plotting a way to gain access into the exclusive park.
WEAR
Dress: Lulu*s (c/o)
Bracelets: Brighthouse Baubles (c/o), Derng (c/o), J.Crew
Bag: Hello Fab (c/o)
Shoes: Zara
