Central Park

I’m a Central Park groupie. I can spend every day leisurely laying on the grass

or discovering new hidden gems or having picnics at one of the gazebos. It seems

so big, so endless in the middle of such a busy, chaotic city. If you ask me to describe

 the perfect day, it would be getting breakfast at Café Gitani or

 Alice’s Tea Cup and heading to Central Park for the rest of the day.

Crop Top

Living in the moment and enjoying every last bid of summer. Picnics

in Central Park, date nights outdoors, drinks at the rooftops, family

barbecues and lazy Sundays. I hope you're enjoying your summer!

Distressed White Denim

Excited to head into April and finally brush off the winter coats. First signs of spring

are always a favorite of mine and I’m eager to see it all come to life yet again
(including me). Haven’t spotted any cherry blossoms yet, but my guy has been rather
 spoiling me with pink roses and for that I’m even more grateful. I hope you are all
enjoying warmer weather and are just as happy for winter to be finally over
as I certainly am. And with that, Happy April guys!

Not all who Wander are Lost

 

 

It's freezing in New York and I still  haven't gotten all the sensitivity back in my toes

and fingers so I'll keep this sweet and short. These were taking in Longwood Gardens a

few weeks back, right after Christmas on a sunny day (my guy was holding my jacket).

 Living in NY, you don't get much chances to lose yourself in the woods, so it was

really nice to see all that greenery and not a soul in sight.

Elephants + new hair

Good morning lovelies!

I’ve been a bit absent in the past week simply because I wanted to enjoy these bits

 of summer and take a break from shooting, posting and so on.  Just a little almost

technology free time-off. But I wanted to say a quick hello before I disappear for

just a little while longer.

This is what I’m currently craving and packing as my guy and I head out for our last 2013 vacation. As you may recall we took a trip earlier this year to London and Paris (still can’t believe I finally got to visit these amazing places, such a bucket list check-off). But it was hardly a summer vacation, as it was cold, rainy and involved an insane amount of walking (which I don’t regret for a second). So we decided to stretch the summer a bit more and this time around do nothing but indulge in sunshine, sunsets and beautiful beaches. Algarve, Portugal seems like the perfect place to do just that.

PS. As you may have noticed, I chopped off my hair, new season - new look.

Felt really liberating to have finally taken the plunge.

Hope you had a fabulous Labor Day weekend and are ready to take this fall by storm. Fashion week is days away and that in it of itself, is enough to get me through the end of summer! I will be back in a week and can't wait to share with you my Portugal discoveries.

The perfect jumper

 

Good morning dolls!

 

 

Thank you so much for your well wishes on my last post. I am feeling a lot better!

Your kind words truly make my day and always put a smiley on my face.

You guys are the best.

 

Here is my 3rd Florida outfit. This was one of the casual day-time looks I sported

while shopping and soaking up the sunshine.  

 

Did your mom dress you in one of these when you were younger? If she did, she is the coolest. I remember how much I loved jumpsuits/jumpers when I was younger (currently on the lookout for the perfect denim one). Granted they were less fashionable for sure, but the comfort level was still the same.  I don’t know what it is but I just love them. It seriously reduces my getting ready time (put your feet and zip) 30 seconds later I’m out the door and still feel put together. The soft fabric is like a blanket and I wish I never had to take it off. Perfect for day of shopping paired with flats and after a quick change of shoes, the easiest transition to night out wear and a dinner date. Can’t beat that during those hot, humid summer days.

All in all, one of my favorite go -to-outfits come summer. What do you guys think? Have you fallen into the jumper bandwagon craze or are you still holding out? In retrospect, silk and printed shorts are just as in right now, giving us plenty of options to stay comfortable and chic all at the same time.  Yay to that.

Love,

It's all in the details

 

Happy Monday my lovelies! I hope you had an amazing

and relaxing weekend.

This was my Saturday outfit for a mimosa filled brunch at Agave followed by some bar

hopping to catch the Knicks game. All in all, an amazing day filled with lots of drinks, great

food and great company, couldn’t ask for more.

 

I went rather simple with my outfit, but used accessories for a fun and colorful look. A

statement necklace and colorful shoes are all you need to makeover any outfit. And I couldn’t

wait to show off my new bag that my guy recently surprised me with. He really is the best.

Flower Child

I am so excited that it is finally getting warmer in NY. I desperately needed some

Spring in my step (after a cold and wet previous week) so I ended up reaching for

my Spring must have blazer sooner than expected.  Although I still had to pair it with

a sweater, it felt good to leave my winter coat behind, my toes were less lucky.

I automatically reached for this blazer as soon as it caught my eye. I tend to gravitate

towards colors  and girlier patterns and this happened to embody all of the things I love,

or maybe I just wanted something that screamed SPRING. What are some of things

 that you're craving this season?

My favorite pass time is hiding out in a café by the window with a  cup of green

 tea and some yummy macaroons (pistachio and coconut are my favorite).

Instantly brightens up my day and makes me feel relaxed and happy. I love

popping into Financier, as it is just a quick spring from home.

What are some of the places you go to unwind?

Happy Monday dolls,

Brooklyn Bridge is one of my favorite places that always lifts my spirits and yes I was the only one wearing pink in January. It’s safe to say I’m easy to spot, which is what I tell my guy all the time and I’m sticking to it. What are the spots in your city that you keep on coming back to from time to time?

PS. On a completely unrelated note, has anyone started planning their vacations for 2013? Please tell me I’m not the only one roaming the pages of travel magazines & websites? Must be the winter blues!

 

Love,

O
