Blogger Meetup: Simone East Village


Dear Lydia,

I know I definitely don’t have to tell you that blogger meetups are the best, right? We always have so much fun together. Kimberlee, Nnenna, Luz, Jamillah and I decided to try to have them every month. Since I’m a member of Connecticut Bloggers without actually living in Connecticut, you can totally be a member of our little untitled blogger group and come to our next party time meeting.

The non-crazies did not come outside and stand in the street for photos– which I may or may have not made Nnenna do… with promises to yell if any cars were coming, I swear. Somehow I didn’t get any photos of Luz, but all the photos in this post were taken by Luz, Nnenna, or me. …

Raspberry + Neon Pink in the Forest


Dear Nnenna,

Sometimes you just have to wear a relaxed blouse and four inch heels on your forest bathing expedition, right? And bug spray, definitely need bug spray.

Despite the swarms of mosquitoes, this is a nice photo location. Quiet, secluded, and with a tiny river on one side of the path. …

MomTrends + Tide Coldwater Party



I spent a steamy Wednesday evening on a rooftop in DUMBO. MomTrends and Tide Coldwater put together an intimate soirée for New York bloggers. I got the opportunity to connect with bloggers I’d never met before and learn about pomme and Brooklyn Industries, two local clothing retailers.

Vintage and Vintage-Inspired


Dear Dotty,

Of course, right after I took these photos the sun came out. Story of my photography life. I’ve been in a bit of a vintagey mood lately and wanting to wear big skirts all the time. The ones that come right to my knees are so much easier to wear than my miniskirts.

Leopard Pleats


Dear Caitlin,

So this is a fairly new Forever21 find. I got it at the same time as my sheer leopard maxi and peach eyelet dress. Generally I don’t buy things at Forever21 too often because the clothes tend to shrink and not fit as soon as they’re washed, but the Love21 racks at Forever21 Union Square have been coughing up some good things lately. And Love21 is sized a little larger than the regular line.

Sun Showers | Alexander Wang & Cole Haan


Dear Katha,

I don’t know if you’ve noticed or not, but the weather’s doing something crazy in these photos. They’re actually from before Memorial Day when it was constantly storming and I thought mid-Atlantic was about to become the tropics. This Alexander Wang dress is great during humid and rainy weather. The jersey breathes well and tends to dry quickly unless totally and completely soaked. And when it rains, black is always a better choice than white! …
