park hopping with lulu*s.

July 31, 2013

It’s the last installation of my Summer in the City series with Lulu*s. So far, I’ve taken you to two of my favorite ‘hoods: East Village and Gramercy. Today, we’re heading uptown (just a smidge) to Bryant Park. It’s tied with Washington Square Park as my favorite places to kick back and do some major people watching.

Bryant Park was also the home to NYFW for over fifteen years. And although the tents have moved further uptown, I still can’t help but feel the need to look my best every time I stroll through the area. Bright colors and a bold statement necklace capture the boisterous spirit of the park in the summer.

Thank you for following me on this little journey throughout the city with Lulu*s! I fall more in love with NYC everyday and can only hope you’ve enjoyed a little slice of my heaven!

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.

WEAR
Blazer: H&M (similar)
Shirt: J.Crew Factory
Shorts: American Eagle
Belt: J.Crew
Bracelet: C. Wonder
Bag: Coach
Shoes: Dolce Vita (on major sale!)

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.

Skirt: Forever 21 (similar here and here)
