The official start of summer is just days away and I’m aching for an adventure. With the coziest cami and a punchy pair of printed shorts, I just need somewhere fitting to go. The honeymoon is still a few months out, but I’m feeling the need to escape the city pronto … so James and I are taking a quick getaway down to Asbury Park in New Jersey. Have you ever been? It’s going to be our first experience “down the shore” and I can’t wait to explore.

Around the Waist

June 17, 2015

Socialite tank dress (only $30!) // Madewell oversized chambray boyshirt (on sale!) (c/o) // Ann Taylor necklace

Sole Society ‘Joesy’ block heel sandal (more sizes here) (c/o)

My favorite thing about getting out of NYC is seeing it from afar. If you follow me on Snapchat (username: skirttherules), you saw that I was in Brooklyn on Sunday evening to watch my husband play soccer (and maybe to take blog photos… #multitasking). Williamsburg is only one stop out of the city, but it feels like a world away. Things are a little quieter and a lot more laid-back, so I followed suit and embraced those off-duty vibes.

Shop Tank Dresses:

I wish I could say I was cool and always tie a button-up shirt around my waist with ease, but I’m not. I haven’t rocked this look since the 90’s, but have been meaning to give it a whirl again. I recently got this turquoise tank dress for summer, which I love because it’s so soft and simple! Still though, something felt like it was missing so I grabbed the coziest chambray shirt in my closet and voilà — extra cool points and an extra layer to keep me warm when the summer breeze rolls through.

Navy as a Neutral

June 15, 2015

Lush blouson chiffon skater dress (similar here) // Clare Vivier leopard flat clutch // Kate Spade ‘Sailors Knot’ hinged bangle // Kendra Scott ‘Arden’ bronze druzy cuff (50% off!) // Pour La Victoire ‘Yaya’ heels (similar here)

It’s Monday again and I’m dreaming about two things: a double shot of espresso and this navy dress that I recently got from Nordstrom (it’s almost sold out, but this is another great option). I wore it with a floral skirt when James and I went to the courthouse right before our wedding, but I’ll save that outfit for another day. Right now, I’m loving navy as the perfect summer neutral — from this botanical print cami to this flared skirt, you really can’t go wrong … even if you get dressed before having your first cup of coffee.
