Summer is all about the perfectly prim TWIN SET. This one by the super chic, Sea New York, is just tailored to perfection. The way it slimly fitted on your hips…yet with a boxy top and hem. It’s sublte luxury. With anything so feminine, I always end up slinging a backpack over my shoulder…and slipping into a great pair of zebra creepers, a custom shoe designed by my boyfriend. Just to feel more ME. The DIOR sunglasses are just the icing on the cake. So incredibly large, they take up half my face, but I love how much of a STATEMENT it is. It’s my ultimate night look anyday of the week. Hopping from one get-together to the next. It’s MONDAY, and because I’ll be traveling later this week (HEY MIAMI!) I’ve got loads on my agenda to take care of here in NYC…in between jumping past puddles, and hiding beneath my umbrella.

After days of working on set, and being thrown into hair and makeup…there are times when I literally get up, toss my hair in a loose bun and wear absolutely no makeup in rebellion. These are my days to refresh, and wear anything that I want. This time, I went for something super ecclectic. I’ve always wanted to sport this gorgeous tulle skirt by Alexandra Grecco, but haven’t had the moment to wear it, until now. I went the black and white route with it…giving it a city vibe in my favorite sporty sweater (yes, it actually spells “shiiiiiiiiiiit” across the entire front. Thanks to my sister who pointed it out…making me love this sweatshirt even more). And with perfect black and white brogues…the most superb shoe for dancing. It may not be your typical dancing look, but I sure felt like a lot more like a BALLERINA OFF DUTY. Ya know, just trading in your pointe shoes, and leotard for your streeteasy favorites.

I’m currently expanding my lingerie collection, and I’ve fallen madely in love with Gooseberry Intimates, amongst many! This white lace underwire bodysuit is just the right piece to wear under a dress or alone…for the night. I stick to the basics when it comes to my intimates. The beautiful and luxurious basics of course. I like this white demi with my vintage Versace black shorts for a lazy weekend…. on a hot, rainy day in.
