Mood Board, Vol. 3 | July 2013

In my Pinterest-curated fairy tale, July is all about green grass, gingham picnic blankets, firework-watching and summer brew.

In New York, I’m learning, it’s actually about unbearable humidity, inevitable pit stains, dropping way too much money for a (worth it) weekend in the Hamptons, and, well, summer brew. As a result, I’m working a variety of simple shapes and no-fuss frills into my wardrobe this month.

It’s all about Aloe Vera and a laid-back aesthetic for the next few weeks. Cheers!

Mood Board | May 2013

Happy May! Although, wasn’t it just Thanksgiving? Feels like it on my end.

Truth be told, we East Coast’ers have been chomping at the bit for a consistently daily dose of spring. (More on Mother Nature’s unpredictable manner here.) I’m ready to don my delicate tanks, white jeans and floating maxi dresses.

As a result, this month’s mood board entails a lot of transitional separates — pieces you can purchase to take you from spring to summer (and soon enough, summer to fall). Among my inspirations are structured separates, monochromatic pairings and a touch of tough-girl. These low-maintenance looks have lept off the screen in the form of a few recent personal style posts, too.

Ironically, I’m writing today’s post about my last night in New York during Fashion Week (a mere three weeks ago), as I’m now back in New York, sitting in a Starbucks between apartment-hunting appointments.

I’ll update you more on my living situation/NYC adventures next week, but, side-bar: My feet hurt.
