BALLERINA OFF DUTY

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.

THE RAIN COMES KNOCKING

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.

FARM FRESH

My 4th of July weekend was extra refreshing. With the rain, and beautiful lush of Sag Harbor, I went with all of my “farmer” favorites. The perfect sun hat for picking sun dried tomatoes…a silk jumper so light it feels like air…and plaid to keep me warm during the cold downpours in the late evening. A look I’ll wear over and over again. Shelter Island and Sag Harbor had me feeling granola (yes, I said GRANOLA) because organic everything really does taste better, and rosé on the house porch just that much sweeter. It’s the no makeup, “WHAT DAY IS IT?!” lifestyle. I’m back home in the city fresh faced, tanned, and ready to take on the week full force. Sometimes the low key life, is the best life. I’m still dreaming of those cozy wooden homes and quiet street corners. It’s true, nothing really beats a good ALL AMERICAN getaway.

THE BODY SUIT

I am madly and deeply in love with this 6 Shore Road one-piece. The color blocking, and the fact, that it’s exactly something my mother would have worn in the 80’s. It’s that high cut on the hips gives it that sexy, vintage vibe. I took this swimmy on a morning run in Montauk. Yes, Montauk Off Duty doesn’t end until about September so stay tuned! Sunsoaked adventures are the best. Here we are at the super cool Gurney’s Inn! The best private beach in town.

And YES to CROCHET. That and the highest of a waist denim short  that it’s SO HIGH that you can’t see your belly button. Though my weeks are totally jam packed with work, I love the feeling of packing from Friday to SUNDAY and wearing just about anything that I want. Barely legs and all. Letting it all let loose till Sunday.// Cleobella crochet tank, James Jeans shorts, H&M kimono, Vanessa Mooney necklace, Dorothy Perkins sandals //
