Did we just get an inkling of an indication that spring may actually be dead set on arriving soon? As the slushy streets give way to a more watered down iteration, Puffy coats can be stashed, at least for the moment, and give way to more shapely outwear and adventurous footwear. For me, it’s all about my fitted, shrunken moto jacket, coupled with these awesome fur peep-toe booties, which are certainly a bit of an oxymoron (fur, sandals, wintertime…) but so utterly fantastic and fabulous, nonetheless. From the ankles up, I certainly look like I’m on my way to a day at the office, but one glance at these shoes prove that I’m actually enroute to a more extraordinary destination…
I’m Bahamas-bound at the end of the week, and can’t wait to feel the sun glaring down on me while my freshly pedicured toes wiggle freely with excitement! Don’t worry: plenty of SPF 50 and “pale girl essentials” like a wide brimmed hat and SPF clothing will be in tow too! In the meanwhile, I hope you enjoy my urban take on enjoying the 40 degree weather in New York City.

I’m so thrilled to share that I was quoted in The New York Times this week! Please click through to the feature, “Spray Deodorants Are Rehabilitated, With Help From Europeans”, which is quite an interesting read on one of my favorite thing — spray deodorants from Italy! See the very bottom for my quote, and post in the comments if you’ve tried Unilever’s new line of deodorant sprays (Dove, Degree, etc).

Athleta showcases, in my opinion, one of the most colorful, pattern-rich collections to-date for summer 2015, which feels perfectly in line with the propensity for outdoor activities in the warmer months. The hypersonic print is a fresh take on tie-dye, while complimentary tops and sports bras come in a sophisticated neon palette. In recent seasons, the brand has broken away from built-in bras, which has enabled them to add wonderful detailing and ventilation options to bras and tops, visible mainly in the back, and functional for a variety of movements that will get your pulse going.
Swim is a strong category for the season, with super cute and functional bikinis, tankinis, and one-pieces alongside high performance pieces like swim capris and rashguards. And let’s not forget about those coverups! Athleta always has great options that transition perfectly into other occasions, with some favorites for the summer including the mesh pullover, kimmsa tunic, brilliance vest, and aspire ankle pant. See the slideshow above for my top picks from Athleta for summer 2015!

There’s no denying that boho is playing a very strong role in summer 2015 fashion, and over at American Eagle Outfitters, the trend is manifesting itself via crocheted dresses and shoes, maxi dresses, paisley print, tie-dye, and all things slouchy and breezy. Naturally, there’s a beach element in the collection, with stylish coverups, bikinis and retro patterning abounding. The sandals this season are simply divine, largely with completely flat, leather soles granting them convertible power of easily moving from the sand to the streets.
Last, in the underwear department, aerie is partnering with tween intimates start-up Yellowberry with a line of comfy and colorful intimates starting March 26th and priced from $29.95-$35.
See the slideshow above for a handful of my favorites picks, including loads of sandals!
