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.

Harlyn Look #2

 

 

Good morning everyone! Hope you all had an amazing weekend!

 

Lately I find myself spending my weekends in parks, breathing semi fresh air, looking at the pretty boats and the clear sky around me. After busy work weeks, it’s important to unwind and recharge your battery. Although I love the hustle and bustle of midtown, there is nothing better than coming home to a slower and quieter pace of downtown. This weekend was no exception, and I spend Saturday morning strolling by gorgeous piers looking into the beautiful rose meadows picking the perfect spot for a picnic on the grass. Doing so in a gorgeously light as air Harlyn  dress made it that much better. I can’t get enough of the colors and patterns, the perfect fit and cut of the pieces amazes me every time.  I plan to live in this dress throughout the summer, so don’t be surprised to see this on the blog a few times. Another favorite last worn here .

How was your weekend? Where do you like to go to unwind and enjoy your summer, aside from the beach that is?

 

PS.  As I was writing this, I came to a realization that I am two posts shy from a 100^th post mark and I can’t quite believe it. Has it really been that much? Coming close is also my one year anniversary of  anightinnyc and I couldn’t be more proud of my little baby. A huge thank you to all my amazing readers, new and old, you guys motivate me, inspire me and give me a breath of fresh air when I need it most.

Love,

White + mint + yellow

 

Good morning Dolls! It feels so good to be back (home and blogging) even though

 I came back to a pouring NYC, there is nothing like sleeping in your own bed.

 

 

I feel so rested, relaxed and somewhat tanned, but all it took this morning is a

 subway ride during rush hour to get my New Yorker self back.

 

Good thing I have these amazing memories to take me back to a

more relaxed palm trees state of mind.

For the next week, I will be sharing with you my Florida outfits so I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. This particular one was one of my favorite because it was so light and effortless. The shirt is actually mint, which you can’t really see all that well here. These shorts became an instant hit in my wardrobe and I tend to reach out to them more often than not.

 

PS. These pictures were taking in Mizner Plaza (one of my favorite neighborhoods in Boca Raton).
