As told by Jessica Steele. Based in NYC.
There’s something about this city in the heat of summer that makes everything pulse with energy. Days are longer, nights are later, and everyone is running around everywhere with just an extra ounce of sass. I live for it.

Since spring didn’t exactly feel like spring here in New York, the fact that Memorial Day is this upcoming weekend comes as a bit of a shock. But since it promises three day weekends, warmer temperatures and the clothes that go with it.. I’m all in.

The interesting side effect of having a blog is that you also end up having a sort of visual diary of your life. A way to scroll back through nearly every week of my life for the past 3 years. I particularly like to do this at the end of each season to reminisce through where Adam and I went, and naturally, what I wore. Above are some of my favorites and original posts are linked left to right, below. And because another thing I like to do at the transition into a new season is shopping – I’ve included a few of my favorite Labor Day sales too. Hope you’re all having a fun long weekend!

Anthropologie: Extra 30% off sale items – these lace-up heels would make any outfit instantly elevated
French Connection: Extra 50% off sale items + free shipping w/ code 50SALE – a striped top because.. never enough.
LOFT: 30% off Fall items like these slim boyfriend jeans or this knit pencil skirt
Nordstrom: Up to 40% off select styles – I have this sweater in beige but may grab a few more colors
Madewell: 30% off Fall essentials – time to stock up on plaid button-down shirts
Ruche: 30% off sitewide w/ code FUNSUN – this dress is so cute for a casual date and this one is perfect for a dressier occasion
Sole Society: Up to 60% off select styles – I’ve carried this bucket bag with me everywhere this summer
Talbots: 25% off full-priced items – I’m obsessed with this wine-hued crossbody bag for Fall
As we start to bridge the gap between Summer and Fall I’ve been reaching for materials like suede and calf hair that are perfect for Fall, but in pieces that work for the last of Summer’s heat.
