farm day

J.Crew denim vest. J.Crew Factory top. Zara faux leather shorts (old, but alternative). Converse Chucks.  H&M clutch (old). Target watch. FACE Stockholm lips in Pink Peony. 
O' happy day loves! I hope there is lots of sunshine wherever you find yourself today. I wore this little ensemble two weekends ago while out at the Farm with my little family. I was hoping for a cool enough day to wear this cute striped top and it looks like I got my wish. Now you all know I love a bargain. Not only was the tee already marked off, but J.Crew was running a sale promotion that weekend plus with my rewards card all I had to pay for was shipping. I love good deals! 
If you're into NYFW (New York Fashion Week), follow along with all the daily happenings here or watch it live here.  
Happy Hump Day!

summer crop top

American Apparel Crop Top. J.Crew Factory shorts. Zara sandals {similar here and here}. ASOS foldover clutch {old, no longer available}. J.Crew necklace and H&M bracelet. MAC Candy Yum Yum lips. Essie Hip-Anema nails. 
Crop Tops: you either love 'em or hate 'em. I am with the former. This particular crop top I picked up at the AA outlet and I love it so much I want it in a few other colors. Luckily, AA has no shortage of tube, tees and crop tops.

i heart ny

J.Crew Top. Current/Elliott denim shorts. L.A.M.B. wedges {old}. J.Crew belt {similar}. H&M crossbody clutch {old, but am coveting this one). J.Crew Factory necklace and bracelet. Ray-ban sunglasses. MAC Candy Yum Yum + Maybelline Electric Orange combined. 
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love street art, and New York City is full of them. They are constantly changing so multiple visits is necessary. This time around, we ran into one of Nick Walker's stencil graffiti pieces in the Lower East Side and I was more than happy to pose. This particular art piece forms my sentiments exactly: I LOVE NEW YORK. I TRULY DO. I'm elated that I live in a place where the city streets constantly inspire me. Empire State of Mind says it best. 
Hope you are all having an inspiring day!

stepping out

Zara blazer {old}. Forever 21 faux leather shorts {similar}. H&M camisole. Urban Outfitters bandeau bra. BCBGMAXAZRIA shoes. J.Crew necklaces. Zara sequin clutch {similar}. Essie 'Blanc' nails. MAC Amorous + Rebel lips. 
TGIF! I wore this outfit out the other night to party with my girlfriends. I'm one of those girls that has to dance in heels. It's how I've always been and I'm sure always will be. 
I always jump at the chance to take photographs with an unexpected background, such as this one. One that's not overly perfect because let's be honest not every photoshoot is. I don't know about you, but I much rather look at a blog where the photos are not ideal and the background is less than perfect and different. I find it's more "real." But that's enough gabbing from me. I'm off to enjoy the weekend! 
See you back here on Monday. Enjoy!

girl in chucks

J.Crew Factory top and crystal necklace. vintage diy Levi's boyfriend shorts. Zara sequin clutch {old, but similar}. Converse chucks. Ray-ban sunglasses. 
This look has become my summer uniform; boyfriend shorts, an easy top, chucks or sandals, and simple accessories. It's easy to throw on especially when running on 4 hours of sleep on the morning after a late night, like this past weekend. Easy breezy outfits are just one of the many reasons I love summer. 
Hope you have an easy, breezy carefree day.

beach style

Victoria's Secret wrap cover-up {old}. J.Crew panama hat. Havaianas flip flops. beach necessities: a good book, Ray Bans, coconut water, and havaianas. 

A few weeks ago, my little family went to the beach to soak up some rays; the ocean water was way too cold to go in at the time but as you see in some of the pictures it didn't stop others from going in. Maybe it's my old age but when I inserted my foot in to test the water, it felt like the type of water that gives you instant arthritis. Ouch! It typically takes a few weeks of warm weather for the water to warm up so we are planning another trip out soon. The beach is most definitely my happy place! 
Hope you are all staying cool today.

Happy 4th of July loves! How fitting would it have been if this necklace were red huh!? What are you all up to for today's festivities? We have two places to stop for BBQ's and if you know me, I love me some barbecue! I'll leave you with this outfit I wore last week when Larry and I went to The View. Out of the talk shows I've been to, The View is my favorite. Could be why the wait to get audience tickets is 2 years! Plus the gifts you get are not too shabby. ;)

Happy Friday and Summer Solstice, bloggies! Yes, summer is officially here! It feels like we've been waiting forever for it to arrive. Hope everyone had a pleasant and productive week. I have been wearing these leather shorts on repeat. They are just so easy to throw on and can be worn dressed up as seen here or casual with some chucks. I love versatility. One thing I will promise you is that these shorts will be on repeat this summer. Trust me. 
I know you are all looking forward to the weekend, as I am! It's going to be a busy weekend and week up ahead too, but a 'good busy' so I'm not upset. We have a party this weekend, some fitness planned outdoors, and lots of fun stuff planned next week but I'll definitely be popping in here on the blog as well as here, if you want to follow along. Hope you all have a wonderful 'start to the summer' weekend filled with ice pops, sand, and fun in the sun :) 
See you back here on Monday! 

P.S. Zara is having their Spring/Summer Sale! Don't walk...RUN!!

pop of style

J.Crew Collection Blazer {last year}. H+M striped tank {similar}. Zara faux leather shorts {similar}. Zara heels {old, but similar}. Bauble necklace via Etsy {last worn here}. Vintage necklaces. Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid in Electric Orange. Essie Saturday Disco Fever nails.  Happy Tuesday loves! Hope you are all having a great day, so far. Can we just stop for a moment and have a moment of silence for these faux leather shorts? *cue elevator music* If I told you I loved them, it'd be an understatement. They are perfect in every way but then again isn't everything Zara makes?! I am a self-dubbed Zara whore, seriously. If I wore everything I owned from Zara on the blog it would take the element of surprise out of every outfit post. I checked and they don't have these shorts on their website anymore, but these are similar. Now let's talk about these sandals. I've had these sandals for well over a year and I just realized this is the first time I've worn them on the blog. I'm a bad girl! When they first came out, I think every blogger in Blog Land scooped them up. That's what usually happens when you mix shoe-a-holics and a gorgeous shoe at a great price point. Naturally, I gravitate towards colors like red, black, animal print, and brown but these stood out to me moreso than the other color choices because of the great color combo. So these sexy green and blue sandals were a perfect pop of color to add to my collection. I'm getting sassy in my old age.
