Navy Stripes

June 16, 2014

After a week of ominous clouds and sporadic showers, we were rewarded with plenty of sunshine and a gorgeous summer breeze. It was the perfect weekend to sip a little rooftop rosé. Mother Nature must have gotten the memo: don’t mess with Saturdays.

Sadly, it looks like my little respite from rain will be short-lived. I’m headed to Chicago this week where the forecast is looking grim and gloomy five of the six days that I’m there (c’mon Chitown!). I’ll definitely be packing my new favorite trench coat (on sale now!) and trading in my high heels for some more appropriate footwear. In the mean time, just let me have my moment!

WEAR
Coat: Boden (c/o) (on sale!)
Top: Express
Jeans: LOFT
Necklace: Benevolent Jewels (c/o)
Bracelet: Sequin (c/o)
Bag: Coach
Shoes: Zara (similar here and here)

Summer Stripes

June 5, 2014

By now, you probably know that I’m a big proponent of mixed prints. It’s a fun way get creative with your wardrobe and if you haven’t tried it yet, you should! If you’re just starting out, start off with some stripes because they’re the easiest to pair: floral and stripes, leopard and stripes, random geometric patterns and stripes — you name it, you can pair it!

For something a little more advanced, try mixing two of the same prints in different (but complementing) sizes and colors. A little striped cami paired with a colorful striped skirt? It’s the recipe for a sizzling summer outfit.

WEAR
Top: Express
Skirt: Gentle Fawn (c/o) (I recommend sizing up)
Necklace: Sequin (c/o)
Clutch: Lulu*s (c/o)
Bracelets: Forever 21, Sequin (c/o)
Shoes: Zara (similar)

Aaaaand we’re back after a fabulous holiday weekend. My parents came into town (mom hasn’t been to NYC since 1994!), so we showed them a few of our favorite spots in the city and discovered a few new joints together. One of the highlights: finally checking out Ladurée on the Upper East Side. We went in for a box of macarons and came out with much more than expected.

As I’m sure you know, it’s not easy getting back on the grind after an extended weekend, but today’s outfit makes it slightly more bearable. I’m obsessed with this colorful bird print midi skirt from Chicwish. It’s a bit whimsy, slightly over the top and totally playful — what’s not to love? It’s the perfect piece to combat those post-vacay blues. Happy Tuesday my loves!
