As told by Jessica Steele. Based in NYC.
This weekend’s escape to Ocean City, NJ was hard to describe as anything other than perfect. Weather hovered at exactly 75 degrees with nearly cloudless skies and we balanced long lazy hours on the beach with pancake breakfast dates and bike rides down the boardwalk.

Happy Memorial Day! I’m in the midst of a 3-day staycation here in New York so I’m going to keep this short and sweet. Kicking off Summer in double denim and white on white for an easy weekend or casual date night look.
SHOP THE STORY
Memorial Day weekend is one of my favorite times of year to shop. By this point in the season I’ve done my Spring cleaning and have been able to truly assess what I’m missing in my wardrobe (a pair of white jeans, black sandals and another office-ready skirt are currently topping my list) and the weather has turned so that all those cute Summer items I’ve been staring at online are now actually wearable. Oh, and it just so happens, all my favorite retailers have major sales. So aside from having an NYC staycation this long holiday weekend, I’ll be scooping up some deals. Below – my top picks:
(20% fully priced items w/ code LONGWKND – how cool is this denim pinafore?)
(40% off site wide + free shipping w/ code FCMS40 – this midi skirt has been on repeat lately)
(40% off sitewide – just picked up this sleeveless chambray top)
(Half Yearly Sale up to 40% off – these printed pants are perfect for weekends)
(Entire site up to 50% off – this tote bag is begging for a beach day)
(30% off sitewide with code BESTSALE – just ordered this cute panama hat!)
(Up to 50% off select styles – this lightweight scarf is perfect for chilly A/C)
(Up to an extra 50% off sale items – love these silver sandals)
This past weekend, Adam and I took a quick trip up to Boston to explore another city, work on an exciting project (launching this Summer!) and visit with some friends. Since it was a short but sweet trip, I packed only the essentials seen above (in this chic woven weekender bag). But truth be told, even if I had spent 3 or 4 days I wouldn’t have packed much more. By sticking to classic silhouettes, a similar color palette and just a couple of statement accessories you can easily mix and match for anything from sight-seeing to dinner and drinks. Where’s everyone headed for Memorial Day weekend? Not that I’m counting the days until Friday or anything…

I knew that once I picked up this white denim jacket there would be no turning back. And especially now that the weather is nothing short of glorious, I’m more than ready to swap out all my darker colors in favor of bright whites.
