FLORAL MIDI DRESS IN CENTRAL PARK

The Steele Maiden: Central Park in Summer - Floral Midi Dress

There is something about Central Park in the summer that really is magic. New Yorkers bumping past tourists, picnics on the Great Lawn, entertainers buzzing through Bethesda Fountain… I love it all.

SHOP THE STORY

I love that Central Park has remained virtually unchanged for the past 150 years. Meaning a century’s worth of New Yorker’s have similar summer memories. I’ll always remember Summer in Central Park like it was this past Sunday – a perfect 80 degrees, filled with the sounds of happy voices, wandering about in the most perfect floral midi dress and then pitching a blanket on the hill beside the lake (mainly so that Adam and I could laugh about the people rowing their boats backwards and bumping into one another). Speaking of this dress – I love it too and filmed ‘how to wear it 3 ways’ for IGTV. Thinking this  could be a fun way to show things easily that I otherwise don’t have time to photograph quite as grandly as when the Plaza Hotel is looming in the background.

It’s officially summer, which in New York means Central Park picnic season. And while anywhere else that may mean shorts and a t-shirt (and it can here too if you want) – it’s also an excuse, if you want, to dress like a picnic itself in gingham, a sun hat and a crisp white skirt.

GINGHAM SHIRTDRESS IN CENTRAL PARK

Gingham Shirtdress in Central Park

There’s something fairly magical about watching the season’s change in Central Park. So on Saturday, Adam and I went to take in a bit of that magic in the late afternoon light. Since we did quite a bit of walking, I kept it comfortable in flat espadrilles and a classic shirtdress.

CENTRAL PARK: BLIZZARD OF 2016

Winter Style in Central Park: Cardigan and Joules Boots

Helloooo snow. After hiding out in the apartment for most of Saturday while a record-setting blizzard swept through the city, we woke up early on Sunday morning to go exploring. While well over 2 feet of snow blanketing the streets looked pretty incredible, Central Park was something different altogether. It was pure Winter magic.
