Flower Child

Good morning everyone! Mondays are always rough, especially coming from a long weekend 

(if you are in US than you are probably still recovering from the heat wave we have been having, 

too much beer and barbecue and some nice July 4th parties).

So let's gather ourselves together and conquer this week. A little breeze wouldn't hurt 

either NY. It's safe to say that this weekend, I stuck to the shortest/lesser amount of clothing 

humanly possibly as to avoid immediate melting.

I love rompers with a serious passion and wipe them out as soon as it gets too hot and I can no longer function to actually put together an entire outfit. Throw in some heels and a flower crown and there you go, a bohemian look worth 20 seconds of prep time.

What do you guys think?

romper: french connection (other options) here// shoes: prabal gurung for target// 

clutch: kate spade// flower crown: The Market NYC pop-up

PS. Flower crows are actually super fun if done right. Pare it with either a romper or a maxi dress/long skirt. But keep it simple and don't overdo with jewelry as it may look too forced on.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Love,
O

Sea breeze

 

Living by the water has it's perks. One being the constant inspiration to wear
colors, particularly sea related colors. After my morning run I went in search for
some blues that reminded me of the sea breeze and the blue skies and I guess
 it’s safe to say, the task was achieved.

 

The top was the starting point and the rest just worked itself out. I clearly couldn’t

resist piling on colors this time around and just went for it. I kind of liked the result

even if I do resemble a sea breeze quite literally. What do you guys think?

 

A huge thanks to CARO Marketing for gifting me with the perfect

summer bag and I just couldn't resist this color.

Officially my first purple bag!

The golden chain adds the perfect touch glamour.

Enjoy your weeklend lovelies!

Harlyn - Look #1

Happy Monday! Hope your weekend was sunny and relaxing!

Who’s excited for a short week? I know I’m counting the minutes, three day

work days have a much greater appeal than five, am I right?

As promised, here is look #1 from last week’s CARO Marketing showroom visit (read here).

This dress immediately caught my eye because of its butter soft fabric and light array of

summer colors that work in perfect harmony. Sunflowers were the natural choice

and are now comfortably resting on my windows.

 

A basketball court seemed like the perfect idea for pictures.

Always game for something different and creative.

 

I fell hard for the brand, Harlyn, the super soft fabrics, gorgeous cuts and patters and

 must admit it is now one of my favorite brands. The collections are just stunning,

feminine, chic, yet comfortable and versatile.

 

 

 

Thanks again to the amazing team at CARO Marketing for letting me take

this beauty home. It's the perfect go-to dress for those sticky hot NYC days.

Happy 4th of July week! Lot's of sunshine, barbecue and family time!

Playing Dress Up

(Look #1/ dress by Aryn K.)

 Good morning dolls. I have officially moved and questionably so am still alive

 (though bruised and scratched. I wonder if people on the train considered

if I have a feisty cat).

 

(Look #2 blazer by Aryn K.// pants by McGinn)

 But forget all that because nothing could tamper my mood. A Cinderella moment happened this week and my head is still spinning from all the gorgeous pieces I was able to view  

 at CARO Marketing’s NY showroom. So when someone contacts you asking if you’d like to come view collections of a handfull of amazing designers, what do you do? Well naturally, you break into a painfully jolly grin and make a very exciting/questionable glee-like sound. Followed by days of delicious memories of garments you secretly wish to take home. Thanks to the amazing team at CARO Marketing I was able to snag (yeah I’m that cool, there goes that jolly grin again) a few stunners and I’m anticipating some serious shooting over the weekend so please stay tuned and check back in on Monday for look #1. It means so much to me to be able to share these gleeful moments with you guys because really without you, these moments would not exist.

Here are just a few teasers that we shot in the showroom of the pieces that immediately

caught my eye. Like a kid in a candy store I went for all the delicious, colorful,

stand-out pieces. Which one is your favorite?

 (Look #3/ jacket and skirt by Paul & Joe) love this option

 

Ok stop. How darn cute is this? Take a swirl and come back again. Yeah it's that cute.

 

PS. A little about Caro Marketing- they represent a lot of amazing brands (Aryn K., Mcginn, Paul & Joe, Me Char and one of my newly favorites Harlyn. Be sure to follow them on facebook/ twitter/instagram for updates on sample sales and more.

 

Thank you so much for being with me on this fashion obsessed journey of mine.

 

Love,

Color me RED

 

Morning dolls!

 

Here is what I wore this past weekend while strolling the South Street Seaport.

Distressed jeans and a tee was a no brainer, the statement necklace and heels

just tied everything together for a more polished look. Love a good striped tee.

What do you guys think?

 

Just when I thought I would have some free leisurely weekend time, we are on the move to a new place (still in the city) and my days are now filled with packing it all up. What can I say? We like to keep ourselves entertained. Next week is going to be pure chaotic madness of packing, lifting and unpacking so I'm just looking forward to getting through with minimal nervous breakdowns and putting it all behind me. After this, I’m putting my feet up on the coach for a few consecutive days.

London Highlights

(1) Parlament

 

Happy Monday! Hope you had a lovely weekend and enjoyed all the

sunshine NY had to offer, as it is back to rain.

 

(2) London Eye

 

Following my Paris highlights in the previous post, here are my most

fond London memories. An equally breathtaking city.

 

We were met with some wind and rain but we made the

most of it and quickly covered the basics.

(3) Change of guards at Westminster Castle

 

 

From then on it was nothing but sunshine and we had such an amazing time

exploring Westminster Castle, the city of Bath and Stonehenge.

Afternoon tea at Alice's Mad Hatter, in the city of Bath.

 

(4) Buckingham Palace, a nod to the Queen.

 

(5) Hyde Park

 

This one is easily my favorite shot of all thus far. I think it's the perfect description of London - gorgeous blossoms all around, bikes, and quint white colony houses just a few stories high. It's one of the most gorgeous cities I have ever visited. Can't wait to come back.

Hope you enjoyed my travel diaries and maybe I have inspired a few to visit these amazing places. I love traveling and always love to hear everyone’s travel stories. Which places inspire you and make you want to come back for a visit? Would love to hear!

 

As always, thank you so much for reading and for all your lovely comments!
Love,

O
