WARWICK, NEW YORK: BOYFRIEND JEANS AND ANKLE BOOTS

The Steele Maiden: Fall foliage wearing cable knit turtleneck, boyfriend jeans and ankle boots

On Sunday, Adam and I took advantage of a rare day without plans and took a drive out of the city. We ended up in the town of Warwick, New York after stopping at a nearby pumpkin patch/apple orchard – because apple cider donuts.. obviously. It feels like the trees have barely changed here in the city, so it was fun to see the all out explosion of color happening just an hour north of us. I picked up these boyfriend jeans (or ‘Mom jeans’  as Adam lovingly calls them..) earlier in the weekend and paired them with these slip-on ankle boots and cable knit turtleneck sweater that I got for our trip to Maine.

BACK TO SCHOOL STYLE: ANTHROPOLOGIE FRINGE SWEATSHIRT AND OXFORDS

Back to School Style: Anthropologie Fringe Sweatshirt and Tan Leather Oxfords

No matter how many years pass since I’ve actually attended classes, I can never shake that ‘Back to School’ feeling this time of year. Not only did Back to School shopping mean all new supplies (don’t get me started on how much my sister and I loved picking out freshly sharpened pencils and blank notebooks) but it also guaranteed a few brand new outfits for that last week of August when we begrudgingly caught the bus again. A lot has changed since I went back to 1st grade, 5th grade, 10th grade or even off to college.. but my love for a cool sweatshirt, leather oxfords and great bag has remained firmly in place.

CENTRAL PARK PICNIC: SUMMER STYLE STAPLES UNDER $50

Under $50 Summer Style: Gingham Top and White Midi Skirt in Central Park

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.

TRENDING: PANTONE COLOR’S OF 2016

Pantone Colors of 2016: Rose Quartz and Serenity

It’s always around this time of year that shiny new Spring clothes and accessories start creeping into stores.. just when temperatures start dropping to below freezing. It’s like a cruel joke. One of the things that always helps me, is starting to work in Spring colors – in the form of a cozy sweater or even just a fresh manicure. This year, Pantone is making that easier than ever since they’ve dubbed ‘Rose Quartz’ and ‘Serenity’ the colors of 2016 (the first time they’ve ever had 2 picks!). I’m loving both of these mixed in with my predominantly neutral winter wardrobe. Rose Quartz plays nicely with grey or camel (how nice would this bag look against your winter coat?) and Serenity looks great paired casually with denim (these booties and boyfriend jeans is a winning combo). And both will likely be a much needed dose of Spring contrast against this weekend’s winter whites.. aka impending blizzard!
