When not glued to my computer, on a call, or simply just trying to build the agency, one of my favorite pastimes of the summer includes spending it with my close friends and family. There’s nothing like going to a gathering where everybody knows your name. It doesn’t happen often for me these days, but when it does, I like to take full advantage of it.
Whether it be a swanky rooftop soiree, backyard BBQ, or loud luau, I like to keep my look casual since it is summer and a time to let loose. With that said, I’m a sucker for anything bold or shiny. From colors, to prints, to accessories, this season is all about making a statement.
Personally, I can’t walk by anything metallic without checking it twice. When I ran into these high-tops by Hugo Boss resembling dorothy’s slippers a couple season’s ago, I knew I had to add them to my collection. Since then, they have given me nothing but joy (and a bit of attention) when on my feet.
I’ve also recently added another pair of Ray-ban aviators with a green metallic finish to my sunglass collection that are just pimp. When I noticed these puppies in the window; they had my name written all over them. I’m sure they’ll be glued to my face all summer long.
The shorts I’m sporting are by Parke & Ronen. They can be doubled as swim trunks which is great for those summer parties with a pool nearby. Hey, I’m an aquarian and love the water.
The clutch is by Lacoste which I picked up at the outlets in Woodbury. I love fashion, but I also love it at a discount. One thing you should know about me is that I never pay full price for anything.
Lastly, one of my favorite looks for summer is a cardigan and shorts. It’s casual, simple and effortlessly chic. This one I picked up at Club Monaco a couple season’s ago at a sample sale.
Anywho, enough about me! Drop me a note and let me know what looks you like to rock to your favorite summertime social.
Spring Flurry
Spring has finally sprung in New York City and I couldn’t be happier. Here in Williamsburg where I reside, the streets and parks have turned into a flurry of white flowers, blooming from tree-to-tree. In keeping with my environment, I’m excited to be sporting a spring favorite-white-on-white. Turning in my bold black looks for something a little softer sounds like a great idea.
