{ normalcy } restored

as much as i love to travel, i more adore being back in new york with my bunny dog and most-beloved ones. there's no place like home!! celebrated this weekend by wearing a new york city-designed dress and seeing all my favorite friends.


{ juicy couture sunnies (also seen HERE), rag + bone dress, j. crew belt, helmut lang jacket, rebecca minkoff shoes }

{ that dress }






{ karen walker sunnies, kelly framel jewelry (the tangerine tiki necklace is available now!), helmut lang jacket (last seen HERE), alythea bra courtesy of modcloth, chloe sevigny x opening ceremony dress, rebecca minkoff clutch (last seen HERE), alexander wang shoes (recently seen HERE and HERE) }

remember that dress i mentioned yesterday? well here it is, in one of the many, many ways i've worn it so far this summer. incidentally, this ensemble simultaneously features the same sunnies, blazer and shoes i wore HERE ~ as i get older (and more assured of my own style) i feel like i'm getting better at predicting which pieces i'll get a ton of wear out of, and are therefore worth investing in. this outfit's full of them!!

{ everything }





{ karen walker sunnies, kelly framel elephant necklace, helmut lang blazer (it's nearly identical to THIS ONE, but in linen!), maddy ...k blouse courtesy of modcloth (favorite thing ever from them?), chan luu wrap bracelet, alexander wang shorts and shoes, rebecca minkoff clutch }

do you think it would be acceptable for me to wear this outfit every day for the rest of my life? because it's already been three times this week. it's essentially the summerized version of THIS ONE, but even more comfortable. #seriousfave

as you can see, i've totally succumbed to this season's obsession with pink jeans. picked these puppies up in miami, which at least partially explains this temporary lapse into trend-victim territory. surely no new yorker of sound mind buys this sort of stuff ~ at least not in new york. right?!

oh well, i'm not sorry. but give me six months ;)

{ costume of the day } easy // breezy

as evidenced by my recent ode to ikea, lately my life has involved a lot of running around between furniture, lighting, paint and hardware stores. not super glam, but fairly fun in its own way. if only it weren't so darn hot outside! this is the time of year when, if i manage to find something breezy and cool, i tend to wear it every. single. day.

this slouchy, silken shirt is one such piece (i also had it on here) ~ and as i write this post, i'm going on day three in these über-louche harem pants:



{ tom ford sunnies, vintage jewels, rachel rachel roy top, logo pants (gifted), rebecca minkoff bag, miu miu shoes (previously worn HERE and HERE) }

{ nighttime day }





lately i've been swamped with work and thus just want to throw on light, easy layers that feel like pajamas but function well outside. you've seen these shorts already (HERE and HERE), but this thus-unseen shirt has been appreciated almost as much.

{ vintage sunnies from brimfield market, kelly framel earrings & necklace (coming soon!), ALC blouse, f21 camisole, jf + son shorts, rebecca minkoff MAC, ash sandals }

{ floating off }






{ lanvin for h+m sunnies, kelly framel butterfly leaf earrings (NOW ON SALE!), gifted white + warren cardigan & kimberly taylor dress (available in white HERE), eryn brinie belt, TOV skirt courtesy of modcloth (last seen HERE), vintage clutch, bvlgari + vintage rings, rebecca minkoff shoes }

white + warren (makers of both this pretty cardigan, and the yummy lovelies i wore HERE) are sending me out to montauk for the weekend, with a trunk full of their spring clothes to photograph by the beach. tough life, huh?! make sure to follow this twitter link for updates from the front. i'll *try* not to tweet too many expletives after the sure-to-be-disastrous surfing lesson they foolhardily signed me up for!! terrified (in a good way) for that one.

{ vintage sunnies from brimfield market, banana republic heritage vest (i found ONE for you on ebay), thrifted blouse from beacon's closet, jf & son shorts (read about the brand HERE), rebecca minkoff MAC, badgley mischka shoes }

i spent all of the long holiday weekend doing two things: helping my sister get settled in to her new home in new york, and wearing these sublime silk shorts. i stumbled across them in a shop window on friday, wore them out of the store, and haven't taken them off since (okay, except to shower and go to the gym). they're laidback, loose and lightweight (everything i want when it's hot outside), with just enough detailing that i don't feel as if i'm running around town in nothing but tap pants. dear jf & son, do they come in other colors?!

{ the realness }





this pair of shorts + any soft top + these too-comfy-to-be-so-cute shoes = my really real everyday uniform. it's been updated of late by these cashmere wraps, which are perfect for these in-between days when it's not exactly cold anymore, but still not yet warm. schizophrenic seasons are best combated with baller basics. { michael kors sunnies (similar pair HERE), gifted white + warren cashmere wrap (worn in another color HERE) and sweater, juicy couture leather shorts, primary | new york clutch, rebecca minkoff shoes }

{ snakeout }





my uniform of late// gifted nine west sunnies (worn in clear acrylic HERE), scarf & pants courtesy of portmans, kelly framel necklace, theory blouse, rebecca minkoff clutch (last seen HERE), stuart weitzman shoes

{ simplicitee }







lately i've really been loving the perfect simplicity of classic white tees.

{ costume of the day } sending out an SOS


changing my hair has launched a reexamination of my fashion habits ~ a renovation of my personal style. some things just don't work any more, and some things seem better than ever! among my newfound neccessities: super-strength skin cream (no hair to hide a blemished face behind), all-over-the-ear jewelry, dramatically collared shirts, massive necklaces, and boyishly tailored pants and jackets. of course, high heels and statement sunnies always have been and always will be de rigueur.

also, every spring i silently celebrate my manicure's release from the clutches of gloves by piling on many more bracelets and rings than i probably should. i'd like to think of it indulgently, as a stubborn case of SEASONAL OVERCOMPENSATION SICKNESS. SOS! any other sufferers out there?

{ vintage yves saint laurent sunnies, rachel rachel roy gremlin ear cuff, erica weiner earrings, the glamourai sand dune necklace, vintage rings & bracelets, reworked vintage jacket, free people shirt, rag+bone pants, prada shoes, rebecca minkoff bag }

{ costume of the day } beer and bobby socks


believe it or not, i wore this ensemble to a biergarten birthday party over the weekend. now that's an occassion i find dressing for difficult. on the one hand, it's a festive gathering; on the other... there's beer and sauerkraut. i can do cocktail attire ~ even black tie ~ at the drop of a hat. but what does one wear to toast steins on a saturday afternoon? it's certainly not my usual destination ~ so the only thing to do was get INTO IT.

channeling the germanic venue, i looked to lederhosen for my outfit inspiration ~ which ultimately led me to don mushroom suede boots and pouf-bauble socks. you see the connection, right? of course a grey vest and mustard trench made it all a bit more bavarian ~ and some jewelry made it more ME!

{ vintage yves saint laurent sunnies (from eBay!), erica weiner earrings, the glamourai rosé braided bib, miu miu brooch (on coat), verameat knuckle ring, vintage trench (last seen HERE, and oops ~ i haven't changed the buttons yet!), go international vest, theory shirtdress, vintage slip, anthropologie socks, coach boots, rebecca minkoff bag, random cashmere scarf. whew! }
