West Village: Anthropologie Mural Maxi Dress | Outfits

Dear Chrissy,

Like many other things in New York, I’m involved in a love/hate relationship with the Anthropologie Mural Maxi Dress by Vanessa Virginia. Well, maybe not love/hate. Maybe it’s more like love/ehh.

Things I love about this dress include the pattern, the colors and the fact that it’s a long dress that has sleeves.

Thing I don’t like so much? The length, which kind of hits me in an awkward place. And the fact that the dress is so recognizable– I’ve seen it on the street on two different women in the past month. …

#GiveMeAMackie at Screaming Mimi’s | Events

fashion blogger outfit of the day forever 21 ikat dress and coach molly black cherry satchel

Dear Christine,

On a breezy day last week I popped down to Screaming Mimi’s to take a look at the amazing prize of the #GiveMeAMackie Instagram contest. I grabbed a cupcake from Butter Lane and sipped a gorgeous rosé — and I’m actually a professed rosé hater — while taking a spin around the store to browse the clothing. …

Tracy Negoshian Pink Seahorse Dress | Outfits

IMG_6179

Dear Kelsey,

Head-to-toe crazy pink seahorses on a chevron background– full length photos from this outfit snippet post have finally been caught on camera. This pink seahorse dress is my favorite dress of the summer. It feels like the clothing of my younger years, back when I used to wear old school J.Crew every day.

The pink seahorse and blue chevron pattern is really intense, though. Wearing patterns sometimes makes me feel very conspicuous so I don’t have very many of them. However, this one was just too good to pass up. …

Swiss Dot Dress + J.Crew Sunflower Necklace | Outfits

blue cotton dress and stuart weitzman sandals

Dear Chrissy,

This feather light cotton dress is one of my favorites for hot, humid days. It’s really only appropriate for summer, so I try to get as much wear out of it as possible during the season. It helps that the color goes so great with just about anything, and that I can dress it up or down as long as the occasion isn’t too fancy. …

Independence Day Weekend Photo Diary

Dear Laura,

I hope you had a nice weekend! Usually I leave the city for other pastures, this year a tiny beach town.

I wore my crazy maxi dress on July 4th because the pattern actually reminds me of fireworks. What do you think? Festive? I usually wear blue and white on Independence Day along with my brightest red lipstick. It was both hot and extremely windy on the 4th, so this is my only halfway decent photo. My hair is blowing around like crazy!

I carried my 5D around a lot over the weekend, so I took a ton of photos. Lately I haven’t been taking so many (or tagging my camera along) and I think I may have actually been suffering from withdrawal. Need to remember to take more photos! …

Summer Silk Paisley in Times Square | Outfits

Dear Kelsey,

Despite the freezing spring, we’ve had quite a few scorchers already. You can usually tell how hot it is by the size of my hair, which is out of control. I tried a new hair product that actually gave me really nice, defined curls… right up until I went out for the day. Keratin and a cut are in my future. …

Patterned Maxi Dress for a Wedding Weekend | Outfits

IMG_2965
Dear Laura,I love attending weddings, especially when I know the bride and groom well. You might remember this dress from the last wedding I attended in Mexico. I’m wearing a few different accessories. It was definitely cool enough for the jacket, but I spent nearly the entire evening without it as I deemed it not quite formal enough to wear until the afterparty.
