H&M Blazer / Piko 1988 (thrifted from Buffalo Exchange) / Forever 21 Shorts / Forever 21 Shoes / Sa Sa Heartstring / Sa Sa Horseshoe Pendant / Laney’s Gold Chain Necklace

The other night, I got all dolled up and headed out to a party at the Santos Party House thrown by StyleCaster, for a night of music and fun with one of my best friend’s, Liz.

To be honest, I am not quite sure how this outfit came together, besides the fact that I’ve been wanting to wear this tank and blazer for some time. I picked the top up for a very reasonable price at Buffalo Exchange and the blazer at H&M, back when I was in Seattle, and due to these two pieces, the ensemble just emerged. Needless to say, I got dressed quite quickly and efficiently.

As for my accessories, ever since my Sa Sa Horseshoe Pendant showed up in the mail, I’ve been pairing it with the gold chain—thanks Laney, for letting me borrow it!—and I have to say, I am really digging the mixed metals look. Other than that, I stuck to black and neutrals to keep the look simple and clean.

HAPPY FRIDAY! xoxo

Back in 2005 I purchased the perfect pair of Rock & Republic white jeans (on sale!) from Bloomingdales for $60. I wore them into the ground literally—the pant hems were basically black and chewed up—before I finally decided it was time to take the scissors to them and grant them new life, as brand new cutoffs.

And, I was going to wait a few days before wearing my new cardigan again, but I don’t know who I thought I was kidding. I tried on a couple different outfits before succumbing to picking it up off my bed and creating today’s outfit around it.

{My Heartstring from Sa Sa! I chose to wear it as a dainty bracelet today, but think it would be super cute as a necklace too.}

I’ll admit that this remix isn’t drastically different from yesterday’s outfit, but I do like the girly twist going on here. I think it’s the pink striped tank, lavender nails and high ponytail that made me feel all shiny and new, ready for a day of fun in the sun! xoxo

Yesterday was a great day. I spent the afternoon wandering around the West Village with my lovely friend, Laney, and caught up on each other’s lives, as we pondered various potted plants, sipped Grey Dog iced coffee, and treated ourselves to yummy gelato (me at PopBar, she at Grom).

It was, once again, quite hot outside, but I managed to wear this lightweight peach cardigan that I picked up for cool $12 (on sale!) at Madewell over the weekend. I am officially in love with it and can’t wait to layer it, belt it and remix the heck out of it.

On another note, I would like to take a minute and showcase the silver necklace I’m wearing in these photos. The lovely Sarah of Sa Sa sent me this cute Horseshoe Pendant. I used to be a girl who only wore silver, but I will admit, in the past few years, I’ve slowly migrated over to wearing just gold accessories. Yet something changed when I pulled this dainty little chain link necklace from it’s cloth bag—very cute packaging by the way— and I found myself warming up to silver once again.

She also has these super cute Heartstring Necklaces (only $12!) available—I’m wearing mine tomorrow—so head on over and check out her stuff! Thank you so much Sarah! xoxo

Saturday proved to be insanely hot, and I didn’t wear the airiest of outfits—wrong move on my part to wear anything on top besides a strappy tank—but at least the hat did a great job of keeping the sun off my face. We started out the day by visiting the New Amsterdam Market, which was held where the old Fulton Fish Market used to be, down in the South Street Seaport. We quickly began to melt and decided it was high time to hop on the Water Taxi and head to Ikea in Redhook, BK. It was a successful shopping trip complete with Swedish Meatballs and Daim cake and the airconditioning was unbeatable. Let’s just say, we ended up staying a whopping 5 hours before heading back to the city.

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and managed to say cool! xoxo

On Tuesday night, I had the extreme pleasure of attending a celebratory dinner for Erin Fetherston, who is Juicy Couture’s new creative consultant. I got to meet the lovely Miss Fetherston herself, as well as drink pink champagne and catch up with some of my favorite blogger girls, Audrey, Carolyn and Kelly. The rest of the evening was filled with eating, drinking, chatting and shopping…they let us loose in the Juicy store for an after-hours mini shopping spree! I felt very lucky and was floating on a cloud all evening.

Yesterday, I briefly mentioned that on Saturday I went out to Governor’s Island for the Jazz-Age Lawn Festival. It was loads of fun to watch everybody dance the day away, all dressed up in their 1920’s finest. The live band was really wonderful, and so was the tangy pulled beef on a bun. Afterward, we wandered out onto a nearby pier and played around with my camera. It was so nice to finally have someone behind the lens instead of setting up my tripod. By the way, I credit all these photos to A, who was my wonderful photographer.

When I was back in Seattle, I went to Forever 21 with my Mom. As we wandered around, we quickly noticed the”shirt wall” they had going on, which covered an entire back wall and consisted of many bright colors and styles. At that same time, I happened to be holding this exact polka dot skirt in my hand, and and that’s when the chartruese tee began calling to me. We both immediately agreed it would be a fun contrast against the dark blue dotted skirt, so I snatched it up and whisked away into the dressing room. Needless to say, I walked out with both items, among a few other gems, and had a little hop in my step as I exited the store.

I was originally going to pair these shoes from Steve Madden with this ensemble, but then at the last minute, decided that these vintage Ferragamos would be a nice contrast with the primary-esque colors. Et, voila. Remix #3 of the polka dot skirt…I wonder how many more there will be?! Stay tuned to find out!

HAPPY WEEKEND! xoxo

With summer in full swing and park picnics and beach days ahead, my go-to outfit includes a lightweight, breezy sundress to make sure I stay comfortable and cool all day. I also look for simple accessories, such as a classic pair of shades, a cute straw sun hat and some open-toe wedges in order to remain stylish and fresh, no matter the temperature. In order to create my dream outfit for the warmer months, I hopped onto Beso.com and came up with this bright and cheerful ensemble.  xoxo

Yesterday was muggy, then rainy, then muggy all over again, which meant that I spent most of the day in front of my airconditioner doing work. But thanks to one dear KeikoLynn and her Makeup Monday post, I became inspired to put my “face on,” get dressed and step outside of my very comfortable apartment into the thick, humid air. Despite the dewy glow I received seconds later, I bucked up, continued on my way, and had a good time snapping outfit photos.

As for where I wore this ensemble…I attended a movie preview with my lovely friend Becky. I lugged my rain boots along for back up, just in case the weather turned, but in the end, they lent themselves as a fun prop.

Lastly, I give you the polka dot skirt remix, just two days in. For those of you just joining, I have decided to take this on as a mini challenge, so stay tuned this week to see what I come up with! xoxo

Yesterday, I ventured out, new camera in hand, along with a much better tripod—thanks Dad!—and wandered around until I found a spot to snap some shots. I finally found what I was looking for and went about setting up shop.

I picked up this kicky polka dotted skirt from Forever 21 while I was in Seattle, and am loving the lightweight material, especially during this sweltering heat. As I was thinking about what to wear with it, I remembered Kelly’s polkadotorama challenge and decided to pay a little homage of my own to pairing dots with dots.

***On a more personal note, I would like to wish one of my very best friends, Liz, a HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!***
