My long awaited week of relaxation had arrived, and I was bursting with excitement. I was on my way to Martha’s Vineyard, a small island located in Massachusetts, just off the coast of Cape Cod. Martha’s Vineyard has been my family’s vacation destination, since I was a child, and I have many wonderful memories there.
Afternoon parties, delicious hors d’oeuvres, and champagne under the sun are some of my favorite ways to celebrate the summer. With so many events to attend, summer is in full swing and I am finally able to wear some of my lovliest outfits and accessories for the season.
While attending New York designer, Von Vonni’s Rooftop Event, I was introduced to one of his most popular styles, the Transformer Dress. Von helped me choose a gorgeous Sky Blue dress, which I couldn’t wait to try. The fabric drapes beautifully and is flattering on any figure. The dress can be worn multiple ways, and the color selection is beautiful. It was tough to pick my favorite. This dress is perfect for a special occasion or a night out on the town. It transforms into a lovely daytime dress as well.
On a blazing hot New York afternoon, we went for a walk through Riverside Park. With picnic blankets scattered, New Yorkers enjoyed food with friends, yoga by the water, and iced drinks under bright umbrellas. The summer sunshine inspired my sleeveless, tangerine top by Parker. I paired it with white jeans and a gold envelope clutch.
While attending Von Vonni’s Rooftop Event in Chelsea, I couldn’t resist taking advantage of the city’s glowing skyline. Here are a few of my favorite photos taken during the evening.
Soho is one of my favorite shopping destinations in New York City. It has a great combination of designer stores and lovely boutiques. There are charming coffee shops and trendy restaurants around every corner, if you need a break from your retail therapy. My shopping trip to Soho was the perfect opportunity to wear my new Yumi Kim, Hawaiian print romper, which I found at Wink NYC, one my favorite boutiques in the city. I love all of Yumi Kim’s styles, but above all, I adore her gorgeous, vibrant prints.
On a sunny afternoon, I decided to take a walk through the East Village. The East Village has a quirky mix of qualities. You’ll find walls of graffiti, vintage shops, dive bars, as well some of New York’s swankiest restaurants. The East Village is where the hipster meets the trend setter. I love this about New York City. I find a different adventure in every neighborhood.
On a beautiful, sunny Saturday, I took my usual stroll through Central Park. The excitement of the warm weather, was ideal for my new sundress. I fell in love with this printed beauty, during my shopping trip to Los Angeles, the bright colors and gorgeous florals caught my eye.
I took a quick trip to LA, for some inspiration, shopping and a change of scenery. While New York is always my love, I felt the need for some beachy sunshine in my life.
One of my favorite jewelry pieces is a heart shaped charm with a jeweled ballerina, passed down from my parents. It was one the first gifts my dad had given my mom, when they began dating. My dad carefully chose this beautiful piece, and added an inscription of love on the back of the charm.
