what to wear to a bridal shower

I wore this to a recent bridal shower on a day that I wasn’t really feeling another of my summer dresses. Over the past few months I haven’t posted very many outfits, and part of the reason is that I’ve purchased very few things. Spring 2015 trends didn’t have much to offer me both body type and personal style-wise.

Modern Vintage Summer Style | Outfits

fashion blogger modern vintage summer style in soho

Dear Katha,

It’s taken me a long time to settle into my style. And I’m actually not even sure that I’m done settling in yet.

I used to want to be on the cutting edge of modern fashion– geometric shapes, unusual silhouettes, shoes that border on the absolutely bizarre, etc. I bought tons of black clothing and sprinkled it with a bit of neon and some bold, bright trendy colors.

But… as much as I loved it, it didn’t quite fit. I like it so much on other people, but not quite as much on me. Something was off.

On Fridays We Wear Black




Dear Caitlin,

So apparently bloggers get together and wear black to celebrate blogiversaries. Or maybe that’s only blogiversaries in New York? In any case, on Friday evening some members of the Blogger Social Club (Hope, Jamillah, Kim, Kristine (who has a blog but does not update it), Luz, Nnenna, and me) got together to celebrate Nnenna’s Two-Year Blogiversary for Star-Crossed Smile.

If you’d like to join our social club, email, tweet, leave a comment, etc. so I can let you know when we meet.

When Bloggers go to Blue Owl





Dear Silvergirl,

On the 11th Nnenna, Lala, and I met at Blue Owl for a mini blogger meetup. And Kim is definitely coming next time! I love getting together with my friends– it’s a very big part of what makes New York so great. And we live very near each other, so we should definitely be seeing each other all the time.

Nnenna and I were together during daylight for the first time in so long and we chose the church courtyard for photos again. Lala met us later and has been camera shy lately, but I’m determined to get her in photos soon. I’m such a creepy photo stalker. …

North of Thirty Fourth

Stylistically a little bit different than my usual appearance, right? That’s because I had a photographer and two other people yelling direction at me. I seldom find myself this far uptown as well. Different feel to the neighborhood….
