Not quite haute couture, but breathtaking design nonetheless.

My dear friend Rosemary, brought in her 28th birthday with a “Nantuck in NYC” party on the rooftop of her East Village apartment. To complement the popped collars, boat shoes, Lilly Pulitzer and madras prints I wore a paisley print J.Crew dress, which has pockets, obvs. Paired with strands of J.Crew pearls, a green linen blazer, and a white Banana Republic bag made of luscious leather, I was ready to paint the town red.

Dress: J.Crew
Linen Blazer: Zara
Flats: J.Crew
Bag: Banana Republic
Pearls: J.Crew
Alligator Watch: Kenneth Jay Lane
Rings: Heirlooms
Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs

When I came across this totally 80′s number on the H&M rack, I got super excited. I made a beeline to the changing room and the reflection in the mirror gave me a two thumbs up. While the torso could be a bit longer to accommodate my needs, I couldn’t pass up this fun print and the happy colors – I mean, this is H&M, not Hermes. For $70, I added this dress to the collection and partnered it with my flat J.Crew t-straps. Can’t you see Kelly wearing this on her date with Zach? Totally rad!

As Casey of Casey Culture and I strolled through the Flatiron district on Saturday afternoon, we decided to stop in at the Kate Spade store.
Upon entering, a rainbow of patterns and textured pulsed through the space. Pops of bubblegum, coral, and teal were adorned by gold and silver hardware. Complemented by buttery, structured leather bags and belts, I thought of chicskates who would love these accessories. Oh, and the shoes! We can not forget the shoes! Beautifully structured and plenty of flats for this 5’10″ gal, you can not go wrong! Besides the fabulous white striped dress, the rich, royal baubles caught my eye. I was literally drooling over these jewels – Ugh, I want ALL of them! And EVERYTHING in the store!
Hope you enjoyed the images from the refreshed Kate Spade!

Absolutely nothing! I punched up the first warmer day this season with my bright Tucker for Target dress and amped it up with a brown hounds tooth stocking, brown metallic shoes from Aerosoles, a blue wool cardigan from J.Crew and wool animal print cape from Target. You dig?
