City Limits

This past Sunday was a stunning day to be outdoors. My friend Cassie and I escaped for a few hours and took the short ferry ride over to Governor's Island for the Fete Paradiso (photos from that to come, I promise!). 

I'm a little ashamed to admit, I've lived here in NYC (well, Brooklyn, but I work in Manhattan, so close enough) and I had never been to Governor's Island before this past weekend. A beautiful parkscape a short *free* ferry ride outside of the city, perfect for picnicking and wandering and forgetting, if only for a few hours, that the concrete jungle is just beyond that short gap of the East River.

Rained Out

Why let rain stand in your way? It may have kept everyone else indoors today, but a cute umbrella and busting out my "new" vintage boots were the perfect excuse to skip out into the cool weather and do a little wandering. The slight chill in the late morning air was hinting towards autumn, so my excitement and desire to be outdoors was heightened ever more. August is here, which means that my favorite months are just around the corner. It's almost time to get the booties and long layers out of storage...

Out of Focus

I am so relieved that the infernal heat wave has broken. 

What better way to celebrate than by sneakily frolicking in the ivy of Bryant Park? 

Most of the photos, unfortunately, came out blurry, but then I just decided, 

'Hey, screw it! It looks kind of fairytale-y.' 

Vintage dress, "Phoebe", going on sale  tonight, I promise, I'll list it, finally. Had to take some photos first!

Rockin the Weekend Away

Spent this warm weekend with Taylor Scott at Jacob Riis Park in Rockaway. Perfect weather for a beach picnic and a little dancing around in the sand. Hula hoops and headstands in the hot sun :)
