carrie moment.

August 28, 2013

Today marks the completion of my first year in New York City! It’s been a year full of challenges and adventures — with a bit of glamour and a whole lot of grit. Still, I’ve been lucky enough to have experienced a few magical moments in NYC and I couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate my first year here than by having a little Carrie Bradshaw moment of my own.

Walking the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time was a special moment for me. It took me nearly six months to actually do it, but once I did, I realized how for the first time, walking from Brooklyn to Manhattan felt like I was heading home. So now I return from time to time — not usually dressed in a fluffy tulle skirt and lace up heels — but always in awe of incredible city I get to call home.

Skirt The Rules Blog; NYC fashion blogger; style blog; summer outfit photos; H&M chambray sleeveless button up top; J.Crew Kids Crew Cuts polka dot skirt; C. Wonder crystal necklace; Linea Pelle Grayson Bar Clutch; J.Crew turquoise stretch bracelet; J.Crew square pave link bracelet; Zara white beige colorblock heels

My outfits so far this week have been decidedly moody. Darker, richer colors are seeping their way back into my wardrobe as it feels like fall is just around the corner. And even though temps have been significantly cooler than usual, I have to remind myself that it’s still summer! I need to stop dwelling on how fleeting the last weeks of the season feel and start enjoying all the adventures there are left to be had. So today’s cheerier attitude calls for a much peppier outfit — and nothing says summer summer summertime than chambray, sandals and polka dots.

denim denim.

July 29, 2013

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.
