St. Patty’s Day Parade

No sense it getting too dolled up on a holiday where you may or may not be thrown up on, but at the same time, make sure you come ready to kiss an Irishman.  Basically- net-net- Go green or go home!

Prep Club

It’s time to take the Prep Club to the next level.  This season it’s all bending the rules a bit, getting creative, and exploring that unexpected mix of  bright colors and bold patterns.  It’s a loud trend, but it can be done. Pick out some eye-catching denim, a spring colored oxford, and an unevenly striped shirt and you’re on your way to creating a perfectly preppy looking number.

Somewear: Happy Hour!

Somewear: 4th of July Rooftop Party

I bought this dress months ago with this very occasion in mind.  It’s patriotic without being obnoxious.  And you can’t tell from this picture, but it’s backless which will keep me cool while I’m waiting on the rooftop for the fireworks to begin!

Somewear: Batali’s Beer Garden

I’ve been dying to go to the new beer garden, La Birreria, set on the rooftop of Mario Batali’s Italian marketplace, Eataly.  High quality beer, great food, stars, and the NY skyline- I mean, it just sounds divine.  I need to wear something comfy, but chic, incase my “after work beer garden” meet-up, turns into “dinner with friends” which then turns into “late-night cocktails in TriBeca”.  A romper, messenger bag, and a solid wedge are the perfect combo to get me through the evening with ease and grace.
