As told by Jessica Steele. Based in NYC.
I’ve been sharing quite a bit of casual, weekend style these days on the blog. And while I like to fantasize that this blog could be my full time gig, the reality is that if you catch me midweek I’m much more likely to be dressed like this and on my way to the office than like this and on my way to Central Park.

I grew up a few hours from the Poconos Mountains and had always gone in winter to ski, but had never visited during the Summer until meeting Adam. His family has a cabin on Lake Wallenpaupack there and we are lucky enough to spend plenty of Summer weekends there now. For those in the New York area, it’s just a 2+ hour drive (car or bus are the easiest ways to get there) and a blissful escape from the city.

In case you haven’t noticed.. I’m a pretty big fan of hats (latest evidence here and here). I’ve especially upped my Summer hat game in the past couple of months and this red and white floppy version is my newest edition. On major sale and just in time for Fourth of July.

I originally thought I’d be able to break out this fringe top over the weekend as a swimsuit cover-up, but the weather had other plans. Luckily it works just as well thrown on over denim in part 2 of what is apparently becoming a Seventies, Americana theme here on the blog (check out part 1 here).

As far as holidays go, fashion-wise, the Fourth of July is kind of my high holy day. Red, white and blue, stripes, denim. It’s what I wear year-round anyway so I’ll take any further embrace.
