Black and White Summer Essentials

It looks like New York might finally be rubbing off on me.  This summer, I’ve been gravitating toward more neutrals than neons.  I’m especially loving the high contrast between black and white.  I know it’s not earth-shattering, but in a season full of brights and bolds, it’s refreshing to tune out the noise and keep things simple and sharp.  I recently picked up this black and white striped dress and have my eye on these crocodile print shorts.  What monochromatic pieces are you currently craving?

How to Wear a Flared Mini Skirt

Teal isn’t usually the first color that comes to mind when you think of summer, but I recently snagged this fluted skirt on major sale from J.Crew and had to take it for a spin.  I decided to keep the rest of the palette on the same side of the colorF spectrum, mixing a navy printed tank with this gorgeous leopard clutch.  I’m feeling more like fall in this outfit, but don’t you worry — I also just scooped up the skirt in bright red and poppy, so we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled bolds and brights soon enough!

White Dress & Pastel Accessories

Hey friends — I hope you had a wonderful weekend! My parents were in NYC for weekend adventures #2.  This time around, I took them to my office to see where I work (guaranteed recipe for embarrassment!), then we wandered and ate everywhere from midtown to downtown.  We also catched our very first Manhattanhenge — one of four days out of the year where the sunset aligns perfectly with the city street grids.  I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend.

So when it came to weekend wear, a whispery white dress was the name of game.  Just like the LBD, the little white dress is the perfect blank canvas for any outfit.  You can let it stand on its own or throw on few colorful accessories.  I obviously opted for the latter with a pastel palette.  I’m all about this powder blue scarf (um hello … pom poms!) and a yellow perforated bag for the perfect pops of pastel.
