Happy Hour

-
This is me at my local, Destination on 13th and A. Today to celebrate being back in NYC I opted for all black. Shirt is Trina Turk stretch cotton with white stitching ($160), skirt is Banana Republic silk chiffon ($75), orange shoes are (surprisingly) Aerosoles ($79). I like this look. I feel New Yorky, which is when i feel my best! Thanks Kim for the great picture!

Business Meeting

Had a client meeting today and needed to be conservative and professional. This blue faux wrap dress by Merona (Target, $40) has done me well over the years. Looking at this picture though I'm wondering if it wouldn't benefit from a slightly shorter hem. What are the rules on hems anyway? I think "they" say just above the knee is the most flattering. I'll have. To look into that.

Added a pop of color with my green, two-tone Marc Jacobs heels ($298). Tried to make my ponytail more professional by wrapping it in an Hermes Twilly scarf ($98).

Did I Eat A Wild Boar? Am I About to Give Birth?

Tried to do something different today and just ended up looking F.A.T. Ugh.
Full skirt + Full top = Full figured. I really should have known better. Cest la vie, noting I can do about it now.

Ann Taylor Cardigan, $58
Kimichi Blue Embroidered silk Tunic, $80
Banana Republic pocket skirt, $68
Cole Haan Bacara Flats, $138

A sleek black fitted tee tucked in with a colorful belt would have saved me from this disaster.

Can't win them all! Even though I want to.

Friday's dress.

Today's dress is another easy cotton number to beat the heat. This black dress is by Kimichi Blue and I got it at Urban Outfitters last year for around $80. Shoes are my Enzo Angiolini Gladiators, $89,

I LOVE this dress. It's modest and comfortable, and the neck and sleeves have a little retro flair. Coincidentally, Kim has this dress too.

Yay - Weekend!

Band Of Boys

Kim's dress is by Band of Boys - super cute with the saddle shoes.

Confetti Hat

Kim's Confetti Hat from Barbara Fineman Millinery. Loves it!

Super Cute Suit

I love me a retro swimsuit. Saw this in the window of Old Hollywood at the Limelight Marketplace. Toooooo cute!

PS. Limelight is a new fave of mine. Interesting mini-boutiques, bars and cafes and it's in a gorgeous old church. If you're in New York - it's a must see, and shop!

Don't need, but want

Flip flops from Hunter with a big H on them. $198 is just too much for flops for me. Especially since mine always take a beating on the streets of NYC!

In love again with Louboutin

HOT. DAMN.

$2095 at Neiman Marcus. Sigh.

Tried to do a High-Low

Basically the High Low is taking a super basic piece of clothing - in this case the low priced Grey Tee (Gap, $25) and mix it with higher cost pieces - linen skirt and jewelry, colorful shoes.

I like it - I think it works. But I'm actually not wearing anything technically "High"

Skirt (Banana Republic, $35 on sale.)
Heels (Seychelles, $95)
Lovely stone necklace that was a gift...
Cartier Roadster watch - ok - that's high.

What do you think? Have you ever tried a High-Low look?
