Thanksgiving in Barbados

I mixed it up this year by spending Thanksgiving week on the beach in Barbados instead of at a table covered in turkey and stuffing. It was an amazing place, and a much needed break from the freezing cold of NYC! I brought my ruffled Merritt Charles shorts which I lived in all week long if I wasn't wearing a bathing suit!

Olive

One of my favorite colors to wear is olive green. Some people can't stand the color, but I find it to be subtly beautiful. I think it is such a great neutral, and especially ideal for Fall. This drapey olive dress by S.W.F. Boutique is so perfect as we transition from summer to fall. It's length offers slight warmth, and the style looks amazing when paired with a fringey suede Ralph Lauren belt and western-style hat (although I generally think most things pair well with a western-style hat ;) ). I also look forward to wearing it even into winter, perhaps with some thigh high boots and a cozy over-sized coat to keep warm. I highly recommend checking out S.W.F. for their great selection of simple styles of dresses, tops, and pants with cool necklines and silhouettes that are so easily styled with everything.

Monochromatic Summer Looks

As I was going through my photos on my computer, I came across some from the archives of summer that I never posted. There was a strong monochromatic theme throughout, so I thought I would go ahead and throw them on the blog before Fall weather fully sets in and we officially make the transition from crop tops to coats. I have a feeling we still have a few good days of summer dressing left of the season, so here are some muted outfits to serve as some warm weather style inspiration while we still have it!

Powder Blue

One of my favorite things right now is anything off-the-shoulder. In this case, it makes this otherwise classic blue button down a little more dressed up and unexpected. I kept things casual with faded black denim and sandals, and my trusty little Phillip Lim pouch.

Bullwhip

 

  

 

I was so excited about the arrival of my Stone Cold Fox sale score- the bullwhip romper. I have worn it multiple times since receiving it in the mail, and finally was able to shoot this look in it on my way to wine night with the girls last weekend. It is such a perfect summer staple, and so easy to just throw on and go! I can dress it up or down, for night or day, and even plan on wearing it well into fall with jackets, socks, and booties.

Graphic Floral

This look is one I shot on the streets of SoHo for Cream Style App, wearing clothes from the designers they carry. Cream is an app that makes shopping super easy- we post street style photos in the clothing, and the user can purchase the item they like directly from the app. Everyone should check it out!
