OOTD: Summer in the City

Image
New York City can get rather...gross during the Summer.  This entire weekend has been a mix of humidity and drizzles which resulted in a very sticky and curly-haired me.  Thankfully, I dressed appropriately.  This romper is a definite treasure I got from Isaac's sister's closet clean out.  A little TLC, a new button and a safety pin later it was ready to roll.  Matched with some Stan Smiths and the outfit was about as good as you can get when you're romping around downtown in the heat and humidity. Romper - Wilfred (old) / Purse - Kenzo / Shoes - Addidas Stan Smith I'm really digging rompers right now too.  They're so easy to just throw on and head out.  It's also a great non-committal way to try out the all-denim look.  Check out some of my favorite denim rompers below!

Slip Into Something More Comfortable: My Favorite Mules to Shop Now

I've been dragging my heels with the recent mules trend.  Ha! Get it? Dragging...heels...shoes...okay I'll stop.  In all actuality I haven't been a huge fan of mules.  It's taken me a while to warm up to it and honestly I'm finally considering getting a pair mostly because of the annoying blisters I keep getting on the back of my feet.  Is that a horrible excuse? Probably.  But! I can avoid these blisters in style. Check out some of my favorite picks that I just might be be scooping up in SoHo after work this week.

AW 2016 Zara Ballet

Image
My ballet career lasted about eight months.  At four years old, I was extremely uncoordinated and hated being told what to do.  I kept the outfit though! Tutus go with everything, especially when you're four. I've been completely obsessed with the Miu Miu ballet flats for months now.  It's like my new tutu.  Unfortunately, their $620 price tag is...well, that's more than my rent.  (I'll leave it there) This morning as I was scrolling through my bloglovin feed I read that Zara is releasing a ballet collection - so, of course I'm super excited.

Cloisters

Oh hey there blog! Been a while huh? It's been an interesting two months since I last saw you.  Started a new job, spent a lot of time making new friends and going on new adventures - with a broken camera nonetheless! Finally have a working lens so I'm ready to jump back into blogging and talking about life here in NYC.  It always gives me a heavy heart when I've been away for so long.  Even if there are no readers, I still have a commitment to this blog and a commitment to myself to keep it up. Living in NYC is really a wonderful experience.  I love this city with all my heart - there's so many different facets of this world and so many new places to discover.  Today I traveled up to visit the Cloisters with my cousin and a few friends.  The weather was gorgeous - not too hot but plenty of sun - and we were able to enjoy the view and the fresh air out of downtown.  It was my first time visiting the Cloisters and it was an absolute treat.  Even if you are not speci
