OH MY LANTA, this heat that ensued this weekend. Let me advise you not to attempt to cross the Brooklyn Bridge for a leisurely sightseeing tour, but to instead, stick it out with fun activities within an AC’d building. Needless to say, I had a successful jaunt with the above combination of airy chambray, and a headscarf to keep the hair out of my eyes, and with the help of a hair-tie, off my neck.

Now to get through the rest of this week without melting on the sidewalks …

Here we go again (Summer bring it)

Excuse my absence – I’ve been out living my summer life, going to concerts, down South for a quick vacation and just generally being busy and refreshed. Above is a realistic compilation of all things I’ve been into recently. It’s so easy to keep things simple with a clean white dress, white sneakers and some denim.

It’s pretty brainless, but I think it works (especially on those days where you have like 20 minutes to get dressed before your daily adventures begin).

Style Tip: I’m not a fan of wedge sneakers, but I can really get behind a pair of Keds, Converse, or Supergas with a summery dress. Give your sandals a rest and kick on your trainers for a playful look.

Hope everyone has a great week!

For those of you who know me personally, “tomboy” would be the last word used to describe me, or my style aesthetic. I’ve always preferred the more classic, and sometimes romantic approach to dressing. This is not to say though that I can’t appreciate what some of our favorite male looks have inspired – clean lines, classic materials, and worn in fabrics. Nothing is more appealing than someone who really feels comfortable in their own skin (in some cases, this can translate to a good pair of jeans) and recently I’ve been testing the waters with some of these more masculine looks.
Top of mind are a white pair of converse and a leather wrist watch … Who else is feeling me on making a little corner of your closet dedicated to boyish looks? It may make the men in our lives more happy if we stop “borrowing” their t-shirts (aka stealing them).
