Leather Up

Nope, dont care how hot it is. I love leather, even in the summer! Actually I just couldnt wait to wear my newly thrifted fave. Happy July 4th everyone!!!

Purple Haze

Purple is my frienemy. For some reason I never liked the color, possibly because of my aversion to all things grape flavored. But on this hot, summery New York City day, it just felt right! I know I said I don't like to match, but some things just go so well together. Like coffee and milk. Bagels and cream cheese. Bloody mary and olives. I'm ready for brunch!

Floral Arrangement

Wearing floral pants is a bold move, even for me! But I have to say, it felt really fun and carefree to strut around town in these floor length trousers. I love experimenting with color and throwing things on that don't necessarily "match." Matching is almost like an unspoken rule - but Im ruling it out!

Naughty-cal

In the words of the wise Carrie Bradshaw (SJP, who by the way lives around the corner from me!), "these shoes pinch my feet, but I love them!" This outfit, courtesy of the thrift industry, includes your basic white blouse and skinny jeans. But add a splash of color and splurge (these shoes=NOT thrifted) and you've created the perfect marriage of boring and crazy! Whoever said "dont judge a person until you've walked a day in their shoes" must have been a very stylish lady. With really sore feet!

De-layering

Got this summery ensemble in hopes that it actually arrives sometime soon, but apparently just wishing things into action doesn't really work. If it did, however, I'd be covered in Chanel, live in an awesome townhouse in a posh NYC hood, and eat all the carbs I want without packing on the pounds. For now I'll just settle for the posh NYC hood. And that aint too bad
