was super excited to find out about the opening of the co-ed co-op floor at barneys. super cool concept with the most stylish finds. here’s me with the lovely chris white (court & hudson), inspiring casey carter (caseyculture) and tell-it-like-it-is eileen dautruche (misswhoeverur).
not only did i have my numbers read by a super accurate numerologist, but the bumbys gave me a fair and honest appraisal of my appearance. they gave my look a 9.4, hopefully that’s out of 10 
Thanks to our fearless leader, we had took some time out of our day to celebrate Casey Carter’s (of Casey Culture) birthday with some sugar Sweet sunshine treats. My favorite cupcakes in town, the icing is perfectly sweet, fresh, and not too sugary while the cake is moist and balances the sweetness of the icing. Look at the fantastic job they did on the script and fun colors. I highly recommend bringing sunshine to any occasion with these morsels.
These images are from a photo shoot with Casey Carter of Casey Culture on Bond Street at Lafayette. I love the charm of the brick streets and how the color of them matches the gray Calvin Klein dress. I’ve had this dress for some years now and it’s become my go-to when I want to be comfortable yet stylish. I like to pair muted colors with a pattern and lately, I’ve become fond of animal prints — the Charter Club cardigan was a perfect match. I purchased it for under $20 at Macy’s. The wellies are from British company, Wedge Welly. They’re incredibly comfortable and have a cute little wedge that makes you feel a bit sexier than the average rain boot does. The necklace is one of my favorites – a smart $50 purchase at the J.Crew outlet store, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve worn it. I pair it with just about anything when I want to spice up an outfit and feel a bit more sophisticated.
As I walked down the romantic cobblestone streets of Florence, Italy six years ago, I wandered into a small boutique and laid eyes on this white tank. Tissue soft, delicate and finished with a ruched flower, impulsively, I purchased the 60 euro shirt. I have to say, after all these years, the shirt has held up and it is still one of my favorite pieces.
Purchased for no more than $20 at the J.Crew outlet, I adore the yellow and white pattern and the short crop of the pant’s hemline.
While on a business trip four years ago in Florida, I discovered Dillard’s. A well-kept southern secret, Dillard’s has stylish, well-known and obscure brands at affordable prices. The shoes, exclusive to Dillard’s were a mere $40 and have stood the test of time.
Thanks to Casey Carter of Casey Culture for taking these pictures and for lending me the cruiser. The splashes of yellow, green and teal make me feel happy and content in my life on Lafayette.
I tend to rarely purge my closet. Reasoning being, I am notorious for pairing oldies with new gems. I purchased these white bermuda shorts a few years ago for under $50 at Nordstrom, scored the top and Coach heels at Macy’s for $40 and $100, respectively. Both fantastic, smart purchases, the shoes can be worn from spring through the end of summer and when paired with gray pants and a casual blazer, the shirt will take me into the winter.
