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.

summer refresh.

July 25, 2013

You know how you can suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder from lack of sunlight in the winter? Well I’m pretty sure you can get it from too much humidity in the summer. Last week was quite possibly the hottest, muggiest week of my entire life and the extended heat wave affected my mood, my energy and my motivation to do anything.

Thankfully, blogging keeps me inspired to get dressed in the morning — against all desire just to lay in bed by the air conditioner. So when it comes time to pull together an outfit, the creative juices start flowing, leading me to refresh an old top (last seen here) and an old skirt (last seen here) into a revamped outfit with a rejuvenated outlook on the day.

WEAR
Top: Tobi (sign up for 50% off your first purchase!)
Skirt: Forever 21 (similar here and here)
Necklace: Sequin (c/o) (similar)
Bracelets: Brighthouse Baubles (c/o), C. Wonder

gramercy glam with lulu*s.

Skirt The Rules Blog; NYC fashion blogger; style blog; summer outfit photos; Lulu*s Go With The Bow Little White Dress; Hello Fab Gold Glam Sequin Clutch; J.Crew Pave Square Link Bracelet; Derng Rose Gold Chain Bracelet; Brighthouse Baubles Chain Bracelet; Zara Neon Snakeskin Heels

It’s round two of my Summer in the City with Lulu*s series and this time, I’m taking you into my neck of the woods: Gramercy. It’s a gorgeously historic area, complete with a beautiful residential buildings and a private park that requires a key for entry. And even though I am not a keyholder, I still love taking a casual stroll through the area on my way to brunch — soaking up the quiet little ‘hood and plotting a way to gain access into the exclusive park.
