One of the things I love most about being back in New York and at my new job is the commute. A stark contrast to the 45 minutes of LA traffic I used to endure, my new trek to the office is just a 20 minutes walk through beautiful Gramercy. This means I can take my time walking in the morning, but in the evenings I’m back to the East Village in time for Happy Hour. To make the transition even easier, I headed straight to one of my favorite accessory brands Sole Society. My office attire is what I would call ‘creative casual’ so even if I’m wearing a more understated outfit, I like to have some fun with my shoes. These lace up heels in a go with everything nude are chic enough for the office, but equally flirty for an after work date. Since I’m walking now, I needed a neutral bag that was big enough to tote the day’s necessities – sunglasses, lunch, emergency umbrella.. – but not so oversized that I look like I’m carrying my life with me (even if I am). And come 6 PM I simply leave the bag in the office, transfer the real essentials – wallet, keys, cell phone, lipstick – to this sleek red clutch and am off to enjoy the city. Thanks to Sole Society my commute is looking pretty great these days.

Thanks Charlotte! And my thoughts exactly.. can’t wait to wear them with a dress next 🙂
I love the simplicity of this outfit! It allows your beautiful accessories to shine. I think simple outfits are often the most elegant.
