Black, Brown and Grey Winter Outfit

Sweater // Top // Leggings // Sunglasses // Necklace // Bucket Bag // Booties

Maybe I’m just in one of those moods, but I’ve had monochrome on the mind in lately.  I’ve been gravitating toward all things minimal, usually in the form of a chunky sweaterleather leggings and an oversized pair of sunglasses. It’s not often that my only “pop of color” comes in the form of a brown bucket bag, but I’m feelin’ it.  What’ve you been craving lately?

Striped Dress & Leather Boots

Having lived in NYC for two years now, my appetite for exploration has expanded beyond the five boroughs and up the East Coast.  There’s just so much to see and so many little towns to visit, it can get a little overwhelming.  But this past weekend, I checked one destination off my list: Wesport, Connecticut.

Striped Dress & Leather Boots

It was just a little over an hour-long train ride out of the city, but once we got there, lt like a whole new world.  Charming houses overlooking the Saugatuck River.  American flags strewn across the bridge.  And the epitome of what every Main Street should look like: local restaurants, cute shops and the absence of any hustle or bustle.

Tall Chelsea Leather Boots

I did a little damage at one of my favorite stores before heading to brunch with the boyfriend and our darling friend Ellen.  Even though we were only up there for a few hours, it was the perfect little respite from the daily grind (and grime) of NYC.  I can’t say that I’m ready to move out to the ‘burbs just yet, but I’ll never say never … Do you guys have any recommendations on where else I should visit up on Connecticut?

Black Ikat Striped Dress

You guys … I can’t even begin to explain how giddy all your sweet words about yesterday’s post made me feel.  It’s only a mini-milestone in the grand scheme of things, but I’m so thankful that I get to call it mine and then be able to share it with you.  Also, damn.  I read over what I wrote and realized that I need to speak from the heart/drink and blog more often.  They’re basically one in the same, right?

Casual & Loose Black Dress

To sum it up: it’s the Friday going into a three-day weekend and life is good.  I’m headed upstate for a day at the Saratoga Racetrack tomorrow, but besides that, I have no other plans but to soak up the last weekend of summer, catching up on some reading and wear the loosest fitting clothing that I can possible find (case in point: this dress). Happy weekending friends!
