It’s not every night you can dress up in all white, bring your own tablescape to the park and revel under the summer sky with a few thousand people. Suffice it to say, this past weekend was one for the books.

This past Saturday, I got together with my partner-in-crime Roxy and our respective loves for PopUp Dinner Brooklyn. The rules were simple: dress up in all white, bring your own food, drinks and table décor and let the magic unfold.

So … maybe it was easier said than done considering how much we had to transport from Manhattan to Brooklyn. After a morning of outfit, food and décor preparations, we ended up bringing a multi-course meal, homemade sangria assembled on site and a spectacular tablescape that included Roxy’s wedding china (would you expect anything less?). All that was missing was one of her signature bar carts — but hey, there’s always next year!

Once we settled in and sangria’ed up, the evening was ours for the making. We wined, we dined and we danced to a guest performance by Ben Folds. I couldn’t have created a better evening if I tried. It’s unexpected, awe-inspiring, over-the-top moments like this that make summer in the city truly spectacular.

Of all the directions that my personal style has been headed lately, I feel a particular pull towards scaling back. I’m completely drawn to uncomplicated outfits like this grey swing dress, a simple chevron necklace and my favorite tasseled bucket bag.

Don’t get me wrong, I will always be a sucker for neon skirts and pretty prints, but sometimes, it just feels good to simplify because then it makes those show-stopping numbers feel even more special. What’s your style strategy this summer?

While we’re on the subject of season-appropriate jackets, allow me to introduce you to my new summer showstopper: a bright red anorak jacket. You know I love this good utility jacket, so it’s no surprise that it was love at first sight with this bold-colored beauty. I promise you, summer storms feel slightly more bearable with this little nautical-inspired topper.
