Hi there! 

I can’t believe the beautiful warm weather in NY this weekend, we have been needing this sunshine. It brings me back to my Mexico resort vacation recently and this Nectar Clothing romper ensemble I put together that I can’t wait to re-wear this spring. I styled this fun boho bell sleeve romper with oldie but goodie Aldo gold sandals and my vintage 1920s gold clam shell purse. The starfish necklace and earrings are from JCrew accessories (unfortunately not a recent buy/collab but they do sea-themed jewelry often as does Lilly Pulitzer and more). The belt is 12th Tribe. 

Enjoy the Spring air and throw on a fun romper to celebrate! Prints are really in right now and I’m always drawn to a boho ensemble:)

Hi there! 

I was able to recently have an end of summer beach day on Coney Island in Brooklyn, and this beautiful hoodie by Ocean Drive, a subsidiary company of Vintage Havana. I started working with this brand after discovering them at Christina's beachy store in Watch Hill, RI while on a beach day there. Christina's has the cutest fashion ever and it's always been a favorite of mine in Watch Hill. Be sure to check them out if you're ever in that area (and Taylor Swift's house lol).

I love how this sweater is comfortable and cozy while still being fashion forward with the striped neon pink and cream, beachy by design, and perfect for a windy day at the beach! I paired it with an oldie but goodie pair of H&M lace shorts and my Aldo gold berkenstock-style espadrilles sandals.

Happy Indian Summer like we are currently having in New York! I'm loving it!

Hi there! 

I was recently at Watch Hill beach in Rhode Island since I'm spending a lot of the summer on the CT shoreline at my family home. My look was one I picked up in Positano, Italy on the Amalfi Coast (see my last photo for one of my favorite Positano looks)! It was from a Beachy boutique they have there as well as in Capri exclusively and it's a gorgeous off the shoulder white dress with tassels on the borders. The straw bag with colorful tassels is also from another small boutique in Positano but these bags are everywhere this season!

White is so much fun to wear in the summer and is so perfectly Beachy with or without a tan. My gold Aldo sandals accentuated the look providing an updated neutral and a pop of metallic. I love how the straw bag can be very versatile from beach to going out as can this dress: it's a beach coverup or out to dinner dress with a wedge or dressy sandal.  

Happy Summer!
