As told by Jessica Steele. Based in NYC.
New Yorkers take brunch very seriously. But on a Sunday roll-out of bed and go kind of morning I don’t have time to take fashion very seriously. Insert here a dress that feels like pajamas and an armful of accessories that I grabbed on my way out the door.

It’s hot in New York City. Like walk a block, sweat a gallon kind of hot. Secretly, I love it.. but it definitely makes getting dressed a challenge. This outfit was a beat the heat winner over the past weekend.

Just when you think you’ve seen it all in this city (and trust me.. I’ve seen some things), Manhattan goes and blows you away all over again. This weekend, 166 blocks north of our apartment (plus 18 subway stops and about a mile hike later) we tracked down the last standing lighthouse in the city. And it was well worth the trek.

These photos feel like a sunny day in Spain to me. The old church, the colorful door, the printed shorts and wide brim hat. In reality, we were just south of Union Square and I was on my way to work. But a girl can dream.

If you’ve dropped by already this week than you already know I spent the weekend soaking up the sun at the beach, but I wanted to give you the play by play on exactly what I had in my travel bag. We were there just shy of 48 hours but managed to fit in everything from bike riding to relaxing on the beach to a Saturday dinner date. Which meant everything I packed needed to be super versatile. I wore this striped chambray top for the car ride and also out to breakfast Sunday morning and this cute cotton romper went from a beach cover-up to happy hour with the addition of heels and a swipe of lipstick. And most importantly – it is the beach after all! – I packed a cute high-waisted swimsuit (seen up close here) which I custom designed on the Surania site (you pick your own colors, prints, and cuts and the sizing is really personalized for a perfect fit).
p.s. If you love those striped slide-on flats from Restricted as much as I do – you can get 25% off sitewide with code STEELE25 in the month of June!
