RUCHE ROMPER AND PLATFORMS

The Steele Maiden: Summer style wearing Ruche striped romper and platform heelsI’m back in rainy NYC, but still dreaming of this weekend’s sun soaked days. There is nothing easier to throw on and go in the Summer than a no-fuss romper and this one is definitely going to get a lot of wear over the next few months.

SUMMER STYLE WITH RESTRICTED SHOES

The Steele Maiden: pink bike on the OCNJ boardwalk wearing Old Navy white eyelet shirtdress, striped flats and panama hatThis 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.

BEST OF: MEMORIAL DAY SALES

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:

ASOS

(20% fully priced items w/ code LONGWKND – how cool is this denim pinafore?)

FRENCH CONNECTION

(40% off site wide + free shipping w/ code FCMS40 – this midi skirt has been on repeat lately)

LOFT

(40% off sitewide – just picked up this sleeveless chambray top)

NORDSTROM

(Half Yearly Sale up to 40% off – these printed pants are perfect for weekends)

OLD NAVY

(Entire site up to 50% off – this tote bag is begging for a beach day)

RUCHE

(30% off sitewide with code BESTSALE – just ordered this cute panama hat!)

SOLE SOCIETY

NEED IT NOW: SPRING SKIRTS

The Steele Maiden: Spring Skirt Shopping

After an early Spring that kept my legs under wraps, I’m on a serious kick over skirts right now. There’s about a million good options out there right now.. but if you’re only going to get one (or, hey, why not make it 9), make sure it’s one of the above.

p.s. French Connection is 30% off sitewide this weekend, making it the perfect time to pick up this floral midi and black mini. Plus, all skirts (and dress & accessories!) are 40% off right now at LOFT meaning you could pick up this pink jogger for a dime.

PASTELS AND PRINTS

The Steele Maiden: Pastel Pink Jacket and Printed JeansKeeping it short and sweet today because, well, it’s Friday (and apparently I’ve got my party pants on). Yesterday it was unexpectedly cold in the city yesterday so while I was forced to bundle up – nothing could stop me from wearing all the Spring colors at once.
