The weather has been making it decidedly difficult for me to incorporate spring styles. Basically a flash of ankle is all I’ve been able to manage these past couple of days. Lucky for me, these bold cropped trousers and gingham flats make that sliver of ankle way more exciting.
As evidenced on this blog countless times, a denim jacket is my go-to when it comes to lightweight jackets. Sure, there’s been a blazer or a cargo jacket here and there, but for the most part I stick to the basics. But sometimes you want something that feels a little more interesting, something cooler than the usual suspects. Enter – the kimono. The spring jacket you definitely don’t already have in your closet, and definitely need.
I’ve said it before – but sometimes the most simple outfits turn out to be my favorite. The first day we arrived in Miami I quickly threw on this off the shoulder top, perforated midi skirt, heeled sandals and metallic clutch and we ran out the door to explore our neighborhood and hit up happy hour.
Between April and September I’ve got 3 weddings, 2 bridal showers and at least 1 Spring party to attend. Not to mention Easter in a couple of weeks. In short, I’m going to need a pretty, flattering, wear to any/all of them dress. And this one is a definite contender.
There are very few brands that I consider an equal match for my beloved New York. A brand that embodies the American spirit of it, the downtown fervor, the street style cool, the uptown elegance, and the tried and true classic-ness that is this unmatched city. Coach however, is one of them. I’ve loved Coach since high school when it was my first ‘designer’ handbag purchase. In my early twenties, I picked up an appreciation for their heritage and scoured thrift stores until I found the perfect vintage 70s backpack. And in the past few seasons I’ve watched as Coach has injected an altogether modern take on their traditional brand. So when they asked me to take a few pieces from their Spring line on a day through New York, I couldn’t have been more excited to show them the town.
