As you guys know over the weekend I went to a wedding and had a blast. The day before the wedding, our friends hosted a welcome picnic for the guests to relax and get to know each other. It was at the venue, which was gorgeous, and the food was good and the company was even better. This is what I wore.

Sometimes, when you need to run errands and pack and just get stuff done, casual is the way to go. This weekend was one of those times. So I threw on a plain gray top, some trusty navy shorts, my leopard flats, grabbed my tote bag and walked out the door. An easy, simple look for when your day is not.
All of a sudden it feels a bit like fall. This was quite unexpected for me, but here we are. I’m wrapping up the week with some fall colors and patterns: black, deep yellow, and leopard.

I’m so glad it’s almost the weekend. Had a short week this week, and I’ll have an even shorter one next week. This weekend will be for last minute wedding prep–laundry, speech writing, and packing for sure. Happy Friday!
I’ve been looking for patterned pants for a while now and finally stumbled on the perfect pair from Banana Republic. I’ve been so into green lately, and these are green and gorgeous and have a cute, tiny pattern that doesn’t overwhelm. I paired them with a gray T and my blue blazer. I can’t wait to wear these with a thousand things–like Jack Donaghy I’m into power clashing.

Happy Labor Day weekend! I hope everyone has a safe, fun long weekend. I’m planning lots of relaxing and hopefully some fun in the sun.
Teal, orange, and yellow are a few of my favorite colors. And while it’s still summer, I’m going to keep wearing brights. (Though let’s be real, I’ll keep wearing them in winter, too.) Shoes from JC Penney, skirt from the Loft, sweater and bag from Target, necklace from H&M.
We are quickly running out of weekends in the summer. Luckily I got down to the beach for a few hours in the sun over the weekend. I’m not too far from Coney Island and Brighton Beach, and it’s one of my favorite summer spots. It’s easy for me to get to, a free public beach, and it’s full of people and colorful fun. There was a breeze the day we went, and we saw a ton of kites flying. I am so thankful I live close to the ocean. And this is what I wore (over my bathing suit, of course).
For weeks and weeks I’ve been trying to think of a good outfit that reflected Miss Blue Glass and Miss Green Glass. And though I’ve owned both of these pieces for a while, I didn’t think of putting together navy and royal blue until one morning when I was running late and trying on all my blazers to see which one I’d wear. And it clicked: a monochrome outfit I am really into. I did wear leopard print shows, though–I am still me.
So I wore it to work. And it was a hit at one of my meetings. Here’s the view from my floor, right by my cubicle. You could certainly do worse.
Happy Friday!
This weekend it was so beautiful outside. Lucky for me, I got to hang out in the gorgeous weather in some equally beautiful settings. On Saturday I went to the waterfront in Williamsburg with some friends for Smorgasburg, a sort of food booth fair. It was delicious.
And this is what I wore.

Breaking Bad comes back this weekend. On Sunday, Aug. 11, we will begin the final episodes. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I missed the boat on a lot of television until it was over. I love that I am watching this in real time and experiencing it with everyone else. People are buzzing, and I’m having a great time getting caught up in the excitement.
I was lucky to get tickets to a Breaking Bad panel last week at Lincoln Center, where I watched episodes that the cast chose, and then sat for a Q&A with some of the actors and the show’s creator Vince Gilligan.
To say it was fun and interesting would be like calling Breaking Bad mildly exciting.

I had a lovely weekend. A great friend came into town, I ate a lot of really good food, and I spent an inordinate amount of time on rooftops. This particular rooftop view is from the top of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In the summer, they open the roof for drinks and sculpture on Friday afternoons, and it’s really lovely. I ordered a fancy, boozy snowcone.
It was pomegranate flavored. While I was taking pictures, I spilled some of my pomegranate boozy snowcone on my new skirt.
