As told by Jessica Steele. Based in NYC.
I’ve been talking quite a bit this summer so far about wedding season. And for good reason since I’ve RSVP’d ‘yes’ five times now. Tomorrow kicks off the first of the set and I’m pleased to know I won’t be scrambling for a last minute look.

If I’m being completely honest, I’ve been in a bit of creative blog slump for the past few weeks. While lots could be to blame (being busy at work, conflicting travel schedule between Adam and I, life in general…) – the result was that I was turning out posts that I felt less than excited about. Which has never been the point of this little space. It’s meant to be a place where you turn for inspiration to get out there and explore your own city (and beyond!) in style. Not a guide for to how to stand in front of a wall and smile… but there it was. Lucky for us all – on Friday I had the day off work (all hail Summer Fridays) and so I picked myself and headed to one of my favorite happy places in the city. The Met’s rooftop. With sweeping views of the city and a glass of rosé in hand, I felt inspired all over again and by the time Adam caught up with me that evening I was brimming with new ideas. A change of view will do that to a girl I guess. So stick around, we’ve got lots coming your way these next few weeks that I’m truly excited to share – starting with today’s post shot on one of my favorite streets in Greenwich Village.

Friday! We made it! These first 5 weeks of 2016 have sort of wiped me out work-wise and as we lead up to NYFW I don’t see things slowing down. And while I’m lucky enough to enjoy my job, I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t leave me dreaming of a beach vacation and a nice large cocktail at the end of most weeks. In the meantime, I’ll take a casual Friday outfit like this one to celebrate making it through another busy week. And maybe still a nice large cocktail (like this one).

While I still can’t quite believe that Christmas is this week, I’m having an even harder time believing that the end of 2015 is just around the corner! But before the year slips away, it’s time to pull out some sequins, dust off your dancing shoes and celebrate the last 365 days. Adam and I hid out in his family’s cabin last NYE but this year feels like one to go out and sip champagne with the rest of New York. Here, a few outfit ideas to get you in the mood. I’m loving this sequin shift (40% off right now!) with tassel earrings and embellished heels – or this cutout lace mini with metallic clutch and a pair of strappy heels.

It kind of goes without saying if you leave anywhere along the East Coast – but the weather we had in New York this weekend was pretty spectacular. It was almost hard to believe that we were Christmas shopping without being weighed down by a winter coat, but by some fluke we got a mid-December weekend in the 60s and so I dressed accordingly.
