All my life. I went to college in upstate New York but came back after graduation.
NYFW: SEEN: Rachel Zoe
Bananas! Remember this?
NYFW Bill Cunningham
Everyone always gasps and picks up their cameras when they see the iconic blue jacket with Bill Cunningham in it, at fashion week.
I, was no different. Remember last time?
Miami: Big Hair and High Heels
Spotted on Lincoln Road, Miami, FL
San Diego: Seersucker
Something that's perfect for the hot summer months is seersucker material, a light-weight cotton with a ripply texture. A great example is this gentleman spotted at Chocolat in San Diego.
Also perfectly paired with loafers sans socks.
Is this something you or your man would wear? Seersucker works for women, too.
Greece: Santorini, More Stripes
As seen in Santorini, stripes galore!
Boston: SOWA Blogger Meetup
Location:
The South End Buttery + SOWA Market, Boston
I'm always up for any blogger meetup ops, or meet-ops, and one such opportunity arose when Elizabeth from Miami tweeted that she was going to be in Boston this past weekend. A glorious plan to meet on Sunday morning at the Southend Buttery, then head to the SOWA market, was born.
Here's how Anna, Natalie, Melissa, Elizabeth and I spent our Sunday morning. We even ran into Anne from Adjewelry who has a jewelry shop at SOWA. I purchased a pretty bracelet for my niece's upcoming birthday.
And thank you Anna for the following Instagram:
Here's the item I purchased for my niece from Anne's SOWA shop:
And here's Anne at SOWA (via Instagram)
Greece: Santorini, Stripes
You know how the Greek flag has stripes on it? I gravitated towards that but switched up the colour.

Boston: Marathon Style
Spectator style at the Boston Marathon 2012. Trendy neon. Other inspiration here.
Greece: Mykonos: Stripes
As seen in Mykonos. I love the simple black flats with the striped dress and the brown bag.
Other summer stripe inspiration on my Pinterest, here!
Greece: Acropolis: The Parasol
As seen, here.
Greece: Athens, The Acropolis, Hat
I thought this little girl was adorably dressed for the BLAZING HEAT! There was literally NO SHADE to hide under over the entire spanse of the Acropolis. I didn't have my trusty straw fedora with me on this trip, like I did in Paris.
In the heat a hat is a smart idea.
Here's more summer hat inspiration on my Pinterest.
Greece: Athens, Shift Dress + Happy Spring!
I'm digging her bright yet simple shift dress. As seen from across the Acropolis, Athens.
This has me thinking about buying something as simple, modern and timeless as the shift dress.
More inspiration, here, in Spring's hottest trends:
Yellow, Florals, Colourblock, Stripes
Happy First Day of Spring!
Greece: Red Pants
It's time to move on to GREECE! Spring's here and it's feeling like Summer, so it's time to break out the cottons and linens and dream about tropical vacations, sandy beaches, and crystal blue waters.
This man has red pants AND red shoes.
What sunny destination are you dreaming of today?
Spring Forward in Peplum!
Say it with me, "Spring is NIGH!"
In preparation for some rainy days and the warmer weather, a light spring jacket or coat is in order. I prefer to wear a trench coat, although I will also be wearing my PEPLUM jacket from a few seasons ago! I never thought peplum would do a hippy girl justice, but this Ann Taylor LOFT jacket is subtle in its peplum ways and I'm glad I'll get another season out of it.
These were seen on the streets of NYC in late February! For more outerwear inspiration, check out my Pinterest board.
What's your go-to Spring Outerwear? And are you hopping on the peplum band-wagon?
NYC: Over the Knee
Now that the weather's so warm, I'm thankful to be able to put away my boots. Although I have to say I'm really thankful to not have even had to bring out my SNOW boots!
What do you think of the over-the-knee boot and thigh-high boot trend? Are we ready to put them away forever?
As seen in Soho. Also in Soho, Bread.
NYC: Oxfords
As seen on Madison Avenue, New York.
NYC: Fur Hats
These ladies wore their faux fur hats really well and although I purchased a trapper hunter's hat while in NYC, it wasn't quite so luxurious.
What are your thoughts on fur hats? Real or Faux?
New York Fashion Week: SEEN: Garance + Scott
Was excited to first catch Scott Shuman passing by unnoticed and waiting in the hallway...for Garance? Then I caught sight of her greeting some friends. All before the DVF show.
New York Fashion Week: SEEN: Red
There sure was a lot of red below the belt at NYFW. Remember when we first saw it?
