So far, summer in the city has been an unpleasant mixture of heat waves and thunderstorms.  Luckily, the skies cleared up over the weekend for a casual stroll through the Flatiron District.  Lightweight tops and colorful shorts will probably be my essentials this season — that and an AC to stand in front of all summer long.

leopard & lace.

I’m bringing back another one of those “everything and the kitchen sink” outfits.  Today’s outfit started with a crisp white skirt, which led to a cobalt embossed python clutch and lace-up heels.  I sprinkled a dash of leopard and toped it off with a statement necklace and voilà!  Another outfit jam packed with my favorites.  Too much of good thing can be wonderful, right?

I’m a big believer that a high quality handbag is always worth the splurge, but you don’t need to shell out thousands for an “it” bag.  I always wait until there’s a sale before I begin the hunt for the perfect purse — and just my luck, CUSP is offering an additional 25% off all sale items!  Check out a few of my favorite investment pieces and let me know what bag you have your eye on.
