Cheery Cherries

Hello again! Six months later and I'm a college graduate, living in Brooklyn, and working at J.Crew. 

The weather in New York is sweltering, so lately I've been reaching for easy, fun, swingy things to wear. I picked up this skirt at a vintage shop around the corner from my apartment (too close for comfort, knowing my addiction). I couldn't resist the summery print and vibrant colors.

My apartment for the summer. I'm absolutely smitten with it. 

Casual Colorblock

I've always loved the colorblock look, but have never quite found a way to incorporate it into my own outfits. Enter: my discovery that this almost-cobalt silky top pairs quite nicely with my tried-and-true navy schoolboy blazer. Worn with this does-it-all navy leather tote that I carry 24/7, my new favorite shoes (I just adore that eye-popping green),and light wash boyfriend jeans, this was an easy yet stylish look that was perfect for a day at the office.

In other news, this post has probably set a record for most hyphens used in two sentences.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Recent Snapshots

My camera's decision to quit on me entirely has been the major culprit in my lack of posting photos since coming to New York- but all that's going to change soon enough, as I'm getting a new one!

In the meantime, I've been documenting what I can of my adventures in Manhattan, and above are a few pictures that sum up the past three weeks: touristing, food crawling (so many restaurants, so little time), shopping, and exploring. I'm constantly blown away by how inspiring this city is.
