DON’T RAIN ON MY PARADE

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

(BCBGeneration surf top and bikini bottom, DANNIJO choker (similar) and cuff, Quay sunglasses, The 2 Bandits arrow cuff (similar), Ax + Apple earrings)
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.

HOLLYWOOD DREAMING

You get this funny tingling feeling when you wake up on the Sunset Strip, to the perfect glowing sunrise. I put on my glasses, and headed towards the window. The tiny houses perched on the hills. The sun so hard in your face you have to squint. Hollywood is well, Hollywood. I know it all too well. I grew up in LA. Everyone wants to make it. The Sunset Strip is known for it’s glitz and glamour, studios, and movie sets. The parties, the rock n’ roll. I was just in LA for a shoot, and checked right in at the Sunset Tower Hotel. I was so jetlagged that I woke up at 5am tossing and turning, wishing it was my calltime already so that I could hop in the car and go to work. Instead, I waited till the sunrise, did some stretching, and started to unpack. 
I have a brand new travel bag. The GUCCI bamboo tote.
It’s seriously my life. And it’s GORGEOUS beyond belief. Your friends will just want to hold it and stoke it all day if you let them. 
Then, there are the heels. Carlos Pazolini platforms.
I’m very much a boots girl, but these are SO beautiful that I love them just set on my drawers to look at. 
Oh, and did I mention the bougainvillea. I stop and take a photo everytime I spot a beautiful lush corner off Melrose Boulevard. 
LA, I still love you.
