Downtown Vibes

Location: Lower East Side, NYC

Wearing: Zara cami, Rag & Bone mini skirt, IRO sandals, 3.1 Phillip Lim tote, Barbara Bui belt, Prada sunglasses

Back in the city for the SS16 NYFW collections and I couldn't be happier about it! This was one of my #OOTD's from earlier this week running around to appointments. LES was the perfect backdrop for this one. Home to some of my favorite digs from shops to restaurants, this neighborhood holds a special place in my heart always! Fashion still has to have functionality to some degree in my opinion, especially during the hectic schedules of this particular week.

This is a great, go-to look -which can be easily imitated in a style thats perfect for you! I'll be posting more of my looks from the shows + reviews of some of my favorites I saw this week!

The Revival of Penny Lane

Location: Midtown, Manhatttan

Wearing: All Saints suede + fringe biker, American Apparel shorts, 3.1 Phillip Lim bag, IRO sandals

As our summer days are coming to an end, it's time to prep for another seasonal transition. Our love affair with all those skin baring pieces are outnumbered. Before you know it, leaves will be fluttering, and fall will be calling. I've already started the beginning of my FW2015 shopping...with this beautiful biker jacket from AllSaints! They are the GO-TO for all your perfected leather goods. I can't seem to put it down. I'm screaming bohemian for the new season (again). But every time the 70's make a  comeback, it's BIGGER AND BETTER. From higher waists, to wider legs, dramatic layering,  and suede + fringe everything on the streets...NYC is about to taken over by the groovy vibes of the modern Penny Lane.

Stripes on Stripes

Where: Magnificent Mile, Chicago

Wearing: Zara body-con, IRO sandals, H&M jewelry, Acne Studios bag, Celine sunglasses

Another day, another look in this beautiful city. I've really began to embody my inner-Carrie as I get older. My style has simplified as the years go on, and i've fallen hard for accessories. These IRO sandals have been a major staple in my wardrobe ALL summer (along with my Acne bag) and I couldn't imagine my easy-to-go looks without them!! I'm a huge fan of the French based label and can't wait to see whats in store for Fall.

Like Mother, Like Child

Where: Magnificent Mile, Chicago

What: 3.1 Phillip Lim Soleil large tote & mini flap bag

Mr Lim has always been a cult favorite in my closet for modern twist on beautiful, ready to wear classics! I fell in love with the Soleil at first sight. The chain strap gives it the perfect feminine touch to an otherwise gender neutral accessory...So when I found the pinstripe baby recently at Barney's, I couldn't say no! This may be the beginning of a small Soleil fortune brewing in my collection

Beach Buns

Location: South Beach, Miami 

Wearing: UNIF crochet top, RVCA bottoms, Ray Ban sunglasses

Itty bitty bikini season is almost over, so I couldn't go without posting at least once with one of my favorite mix-n-match combos from this summer! The days of uniformed sets are in the past. Everyone loves to play with textures and make it their own! With the 70's on the runway (again), I figured i'd incorporate this powder blue crop with my palm-tree printed cheekies! Who says beach days can't be fun?

High above the Headlands

Location: Muirwood Beach, Marin Headlands

Wearing: H&M plaid, Topshop knit, Barbara Bui belt, Joe's leather pants, Zara slides

Surrounded by bliss in one of my favorite places on Earth...This is where I come to reflect and manifest when I need a little guidance in life. I'm so thankful for the world around me. I've been traveling a lot this summer..I feel so blessed to be able to experience a nomadic physical and emotional state of mind for awhile. Up next is DC, Chicago, and SF, and back to NYC for the SS16 Women's collections. Time flies when you're having fun!

Slides by the Sea

(Zara slides, Topshop tank + choker)

Spent the most amazing day with a close friend in the Muir Woods before I left SF to go back to NYC last week. As much as I love globetrotting constantly from city to city as often as possible, it is SO important for me to stay grounded spiritually, physically, and emotionally. So by taking time to self reflect immersed in nature, I'm able to cleanse my aura of the past, and bring positive energy and vibes into the future. Life is a beautiful concept with daily experiences to expand the mind & body infinitely. This is THAT place for me. Hiked to the top of the Marin Headlands to capture the serenity up close..Where the ocean meets the horizon..There is nothing in the world like NorCal!

FULL LOOK coming soon!
