Even though I feel like I got a lot accomplished, this weekend FLEW by.  On Sunday, Tracy and I woke up at the crack of dawn (literally) for an early morning photo sesh.  Walking through the city at 6:30 AM was a completely different experience — the bustling streets and crowded parks were almost completely desolate.  Only a few crazies (present company included) were out and about so early.  It was eerie, but delightfully serene.

By the end of the morning, we had made our way to DUMBO.  We walked our way through the cobblestone streets and down the waterfront park, taking in the “never-gets-old” views of the Manhattan skyline.  And even though it’s only August, my color palette over the weekend feels like the seasons are already changing.  Oxblood is back, balanced with lighter cranberry chevrons for an outfit that has me excited for cooler  weather and a moodier season.

I’m bringing back another one of those “everything and the kitchen sink” outfits.  Today’s outfit started with a crisp white skirt, which led to a cobalt embossed python clutch and lace-up heels.  I sprinkled a dash of leopard and toped it off with a statement necklace and voilà!  Another outfit jam packed with my favorites.  Too much of good thing can be wonderful, right?

There’s something about a touch (or punch) of sequin that adds instant glam to any outfit.  Wearing sequins during the day is one of my favorite ways to combine casual and chic pieces.  Because even though I don’t have any special occasions lined up, I won’t let that stop me from sprinkling in a little sparkle.
