color blocks.

clinging desperately to the last days of summer, i had to break out my spring/summer burberry dress one last time. i paired it with my favorite yellow blazer and finished the look with my black patent leather sandals. in my mind, this outfit successfully straddled the two seasons.

anywho, you might be wondering about the cheese grill.. well this was taken during my team’s outing at shake shack. and you know how i feel about my amazing team. oh, and color blocking, too :)

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.

I’m not usually an animal print-type gal, but when I spotted this J.Crew dress at the outlet for $50, I had to have it. The texture of this linen is thick, tight-knit, and structured, making it a great fit for my body type. The black ribbing down the front elongates my frame and the shorter length highlights my legs. I chose my Kenneth Jay Lane alligator watch bangle as my main accessory as the gold accents the beige within the dress and the subdued color of the shoes. Thank you to Casey Carter for lending me the fabulous black clutch. The leather is smooth like butter and perfect for a night out on the town. As for the sunglasses, I don’t leave home without my Marc by Marc Jacobs aviators.

I have a thing for well-preserved, classic cars and when I saw this teal Thunderbird parked on Lafayette at Great Jones, naturally, I had to have a moment.
