The height of summer.

8.9.2013

I’ve been obsessed with the mini buns lately.  My new signature look for summer.  Along with the new red glasses which I am not so sure about yet.  It is taking sometime : ) When I tried on this skirt from Tibi it was instantly a winner. First because it was hight waisted and second because it was A-line. All I want lately is A-line skirts, must be part of the 90’s addiction I have had recently.  It hasn’t been much of a summer for me yet…..I know, but work has been intense. I have been taking a bit of stay-cation though here in the ‘burg. And on this particular day I started it out with a swim at the pool and lunch at Mothers with a dear blogger friend Michael of mine. There were a few other adventures that happened that day and you can see it here in his recap of the day. In between all of that I did a little redecorating of the apartment. Which to be honest has taken all of my free time lately. So much for a stay-cation!

I call this my Bill approved dress.  A thumbs up by the cutie Mr. Cunningham is always a good thing.  I just wish I was the one taking a photo of him that night at the Brooklyn Museum instead of me, he was painfully adorable!  I am obsessed with this Sonia by Sonia Rykiel dress that I got on ShopBop. The print is so arty and 60’s, and I love that it is just slightly a-line so that it is still fitting but yet very breathable for a hot summer day. I stopped for an Iced Coffee at one of my favorite little places on Graham Avenue here in Williamsburg.  They claim to have the “best ice coffee” in New York.  Whichi’m sure is true, but what I adore about it is that it doesn’t look like it has changed since the 1950’s.  Total mom and pop!

Ever since I moved to Williamsburg I rarely make it to Central Park.  It was a bit chilly this particular Sunday, but I definitely am planning to be back more this Spring/Summer to sketch in the park. Outdoor sketching is one of my favorite things to do in the city.  This outfit is a little bit inspired by theGrimes video Oblivion, with my own twist. Love the sweatshirt look over a tutu inspired skirt. Super obsessed with these holographic sneaker wedgies from Urban Outfitters. My friends made a note I am like that girl Zenon (a teen movie from the 90’s) in these shoes, ha ha yes!
