chambray summer

The Steele Maiden: Chambray dress and Asos sandals

You all know my ~~unhealthy~~ well-documented obsession with my chambray shirt by this point (last seen here plus 6 ways to wear it here), but now that it’s really getting warmer (and officially Summer – woohoo!) I decided to try a different version. This dress has been in my closet for awhile now, and it’s the perfect throw on and go answer to looking polished but still feeling comfortable. And since I spent the past 3 days on a bachelorette party/bridesmaid-duty/out of town wedding whirlwind, an easy take on my security blanket of a chambray shirt was seriously all I could muster. Anyone else still in the trenches of wedding season? I’ve made it out alive – after 3 weddings in 6 weeks – and am really looking forward to just taking it easy for the rest of the Summer!

citron splash

Yesterday was officially the hottest day of 2014 – like mandatory after dinner ice cream truck runs kinda hot. You know the city has really heated up when everyone is wearing some version of the same exact outfit. It usually goes something like: lighter than air top, as short as work-appropriate allows shorts, and sandals. My spin on the look involved this new drop waist top in bright citron from French Connection (on major sale right now!) that conveniently happens to have a split back so I can catch a bit of a breeze on my walks to and from work. Now about installing some A/C in my apartment..

summer romance

I mentioned I’d been working on something pretty exciting lately and I’m thrilled to be able to finally share it with you. If you haven’t been reading The Everygirl then you’re totally missing out – you’ll find everything from career advice, beautiful home decor ideas and naturally, fashion styling – and you already know I’m head over heels (pun intended) with Sole Society, so when they wanted to team up for a feature on how to style Summer scarves I jumped at the chance. You can see the full feature here – but over the next few days I’ll also be sharing more of each look. This date night outfit with a scarf worn as an easy wrap (why is it so cold in restaurants these days?) was one of my favorites.

pink at the park

This week has been close to frantic levels of busy – between longer work days, putting in time of some really exciting blog projects launching very soon, and having been away all weekend and getting ready to leave again this weekend it feels like there just aren’t enough hours in the day/week/month. Anyone else out there feeling the same? I feel what helps is even squeezing in 15-20 minutes of sanity throughout the day. For me, that’s my walk to and from work – especially when Adam meets me and we can just talk and take in the city without worrying about life’s little stresses or checking emails. I’ve had this floral dress since the winter but it’s been begging for a pair of tan legs. And cute shoes, naturally. Can we talk about how good these printed, 1940’s pin-up worthy wedges are? They’re almost enough to make me forget all over that overflowing inbox. p.s. Don’t forget to enter my giveaway with Gloss48 here to pick up some Summer beauty essentials on us!

hot tropics

One of the things I love most about being back in New York (and the East Coast in general), is the shift in seasons. It’s as if overnight everything changes – cool mornings give way to hot nights and with it my Springtime obsession for pastels has faded. Now all I want is bold, saturated color. Marigold yellow, cherry red, grass green – this is the palette of Summer. These tropical printed shorts I picked up last weekend are the perfect base for playing with other colorful extras like these retro wooden sandals from my friends at Restricted, bright lipstick and sunny statement earrings. Chambray and loose waves (sort of a signature at this point) rounded out the look.

p.s. if you want to get ‘just got off the beach’ waves for yourself – be sure to enter my giveaway with Gloss48 here – 2 lucky winners will win a gift card to pick up hair products like this or anything else their Summer-loving hearts desire.
