Street Art & Street Style

Black and Navy Faux Leather Outfit

One of my favorite things about living in NYC is that the entire city is basically an outdoor art gallery.  From the constantly rotating mural on Bowery to the month-long stint by the famous artist Banksy … you can get a feel for the creative energy running through the city just by walking down the street.  So today, I’ve partnered with Perrier to celebrate my city’s street art and show off a little bit of my own street style.

The only thing is … I was visiting friends and family back in Arizona during the time of my shoot and I ended up finding my favorite piece of outdoor work in my second favorite city: Phoenix.  I know, it’s not the first place that comes to mind when you think of street art, but as it turns out, it’s a huge hub for local artists.  Roosevelt Row in downtown Phoenix is home to dozens of murals and one larger-than-life structure.  Crazy curves, colorful shades … you know it was love at first sight.

And while I prefer my street art as bold and bright as can be, I’ve actually been gravitating in a completely different direction when it comes to my style.  I’m talking a little bit of faux leather, a dash of leopard and whole lot of black.  I guess you could say I brought a little bit of New York street style back home to Arizona.  It’s like having the best of both worlds and that’s something I can cheers to!

The Long & The Short of It

Striped Cropped Top & Cobalt Blue Maxi Skirt

It’s Thursday, which means we’re one step closer to the weekend team.  Tomorrow, I’m heading back to Arizona for a week and I can’t wait to bask in the 80°F weather.  Poolside in November?  I think yes.

Striped Cropped Top & Cobalt Blue Maxi Skirt

I’m not gonna lie though, this fall has been too good to be true and New York has actually been giving the West Coast a run for its money.  I thought I’d be loading up the layers by this time of the year, but I’ve been skating by on breezy maxi skirts and the occasional crop top.  The long and the short of it?  We’re on borrowed time and there are a lot of grumblings that this winter is going to be a rough one, but let’s worry about that when we get there.  Until then, you can find me dining al fresco and wearing as little layers as possible/socially acceptable.

Happy Friday!  After a few gloomy days of rain in NYC this week, I’m looking forward to a weekend with a little more pep, despite what my very neutral current color craving might suggest.  I’ve been gravitating toward muted tones lately.  To me, their as refined as your traditional neutrals (black, white, gold) but much more relaxed.  On the top of my last: a cozy funnel-neck sweater, chelsea booties with a chunky heel and the most darling quilted shoulder bag.  What’s on your radar this weekend?
