PLAY BALL!!

Style
PLAY BALL!! The leather skirt is making a major comeback in my life…along with stripes and trench coats. The classics. I’m constantly throwing out pieces in my wardrobe, and replenishing it with the fresh basics that I only just realized I didn’t have. Yes, I’m normally a statement piece type of girl. Oh, and sandals. Something I’m rarely in. It’s getting so hot that I kind of have to slip into these badboys. They’re like BIRKS, but 10x more comfortable. Best for sunny days down in Chinatown at the local football field. Black and white stripes, burgundy, and navy blue. Talk about one of my absolute favorite combinations. Take me back to this moment PLEASE.

This week, I’m constantly on the go. Everyday new excitement and new projects in the works. When do I get a vacation?! HA. Right now, I’ve got a super fun INSTAGRAM contest going on with Toni & Guy called #ToniGuyCreative. Yes, you will see my hair transform into creative looks daily. (And do use the hashtag on images of your hair to win gooooodieeesss!) Take a peek inside my latest Toni & Guy shoot here on VIDEOFYME.

DON’T RAIN ON MY PARADE

Style
Nothing beats a good ol’ pair of leather sneakers to beat a rainy day in the city. That, and loads of grey, white, and leather. I’ve just discovered AYR, and I fell madly and deeply in love with their slightly cropped skinny denim (ankles are coming back ya’ll) Not to mention, the perfect white button downs and cashmere and alpaca knits. Major OFF DUTY essentials for the NYC girl. Next I’ll need their classic and ankle length duster coats. That…and along with my trusty VEDA pebbled leather jacket and oversize tote. Neutrals win me over on gloomy drizzly days downtown. When you’ve got nothing to wear, wear this.
AYR alpaca sweater, easy white shirt, and cropped ciggie jeans. VEDA “punch” leather jacket. VANS leather sneakers.

LET’S GO SURFING NOW

General

There is seriously so much I love right now about the classic surf top. It’s a bit tomboy, but in this adorable floral print…it’s got a feminine, RETRO touch. With festival season, I’m trying to find as much time as possible by the pool. I’m still counting my bikinis, attempting to book a beach getaway for each pair. So far I’ve got Montauk on my list! This two-piece will surely look better with a surfboard and a tan. Here, I was shot in Palm Springs with all my galpals, at Coachella (where else?!) just before the festival madness. Nothing beats breakfast by the pool and the smell of chlorine on a sunny Saturday morning. 
NYC is finally warming up. Today felt like summer, and after my meetings, I sat in Central Park on the grass in nothing but a denim romper, and let the sun bronze my shoulders. I can officially smell HOT summer in the city. The sweat, the sunscreen. Time to get bikini ready my friends.
