Happy Independence Day!  As you’re reading this, I’m probably lakeside in North Carolina sans wi-fi, which is just fine by me because I’m probably off attempting yoga on a paddleboard or trying to stand up on water skis (both major fails when I tried this last year).  If you’re still connected to the Interwebs this weekend, I highly recommend you check out all the holiday sales going on  this weekend because there are some major deals to be had!  Happy 4th of July and happy shopping!

Scuba Green Midi SKirt After taking my new berry midi skirt for a spin last week, I had to share the love with this kelly green number.  I snagged them both at the same time and they’ve only fueled my love for long, lovely hems.  Since I’m on the petite side, I let the bold color and the voluminous shape take center stage by pairing the skirt with a neutral palette and simple strappy heels.

This past weekend, I participated in Santacon, a bar crawl where what seems like all of NYC dresses up as Santa for a day of debauchery and shenanigans in the snow.  So glad I got to check that off my bucket list, but after an entire day of red, green and tons of bubbly I was ready to don more subdued shades (and oversized sunnies).
how to mix leopard and sttipesI know, black and brown isn’t a color scheme that I usually gravitate to, but I do dabble in neutral looks from time to time.  It’s really hard to go wrong with a classic combo, but it’s even better when elevated by the playful pairing of stripes, leopard and a bold red lip.
