One of my favorite things about where I used to live on the Upper East Side (pre-LA adventures), was my proximity to the East River and luckily in our new East Village spot we’re afforded the same nearby views. There’s just something about being able to take a late afternoon walk along the water that instantly relaxes you. With the longer daylight and warmer temps, I’m guessing this will quickly become a part of my weekly routine. Since it’s usually a bit breezy on the water I carried this color blocked cardigan with me, paired with one of my favorite dresses (last seen here). And even though we weren’t necessarily going anywhere, I dressed it up with these impossibly comfortable ankle strap heels, a touch of sparkle, and this new favorite clutch from Ever + Mi Crush. Pretty ruched leather and delicate lace in wear with anything neutrals mean this bag is sure to be coming with me on quite a few more outings this Spring. Whether it’s a real date night, or just a stroll along the river.
Breezy Spring days kind of just beg for a dress that can catch the wind, am I right? This navy maxi has gotten a ton of wear over the seasons and so with a light cardigan, vintage belt and bag and sleek peep toe booties, it was a pretty fail safe way to start the week. And maybe it’s because I was coming back from a holiday weekend or just the warm weather but I managed to get up early, go for a run along the East River, and take these pictures all before I walked to work in the morning. Hoping the rest of the week will follow in Monday’s productive footsteps.P.S. I’m taking you with me to work tomorrow – and showing you the essentials from one of my favorite brands that gets me through the 9-5 and beyond – so be sure to check back!
