Top: Forever 21 | Skort: Zara | Shoes: Zara (recent) | Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim (similar) | Sunglasses: Ray Ban I was kind of completely accidentally patriotic with this outfit - red, white and blue is just such a great color combination! I know this particular skort has been all over the blogosphere, but it's such a great piece. I love wearing white in summer, and it's cut so flatteringly! I also love the sheer back and faux-leather shoulder patches on the top - which I found that one time Jackie & I went on a midnight shopping...

Top: Tibi | Jeans: 7 for All Mankind | Belt: Gap | Shoes: Zara I fell in love with this bunny top pretty much the moment I saw it - I mean, black & white, stripes, and a bunny? (And a cute, non-cartoony one at that!) How could I resist? I didn't realize it was cropped until I tried it on, but then thought it was still pretty cute anyway, especially with the jeans I was wearing at the time (the ones pictured!). I ended up naming the bunny Lucy, only because she's too adorable to not have...

Who can believe it's already Memorial Day weekend? The official kickoff to summer...and I still feel like the weather hasn't been consistently hot enough to really call it summer yet! If you haven't already seen it...yesterday I received the awesome news that yesterday's post is one of the featured looks on Lucky community's homepage! (In the rotating banner.) I was so thrilled to see that! Check it out here, although I did capture a handy little screenshot too. Image via This Friday is happier than most for me - Lauren and I are off to Paris to meet...

Jacket: Tinley Road (similar & a steal!) | Tee: Manifesto (c/o) | Clutch: H&M (similar) | Skirt: Milly | Shoes: Zara | Watch: mark. I fell in love with this skirt as soon as I saw it - the swinginess, the colors, the pleats, oh my! I think Milly is quickly becoming a favorite. The hem is one of my favorite details - the fact that the curves of it are actually stiff and stays that way gives the skirt movement without me even moving! I also love April's Manifesto tee - the gold foil is so super...

Today's post is short and sweet - I did a semi-reveal on Friday about how I'm Girl Around Town's newest contributing editor, and today my first post went up! Check it out here and let me know what you think! (Thanks for the adorably sweet welcome, Leigh & Mary!) ...

Top: Ann Taylor | Blazer: Silence + Noise (similar) | Pants: Zara (similar) | Shoes: J. Crew Factory | Purse: Chanel | Nails: Essie Mint Candy Apple with Julep Matte Top Coat I was having one of those "I have no idea what to wear" days, and decided to stick with an absolute classic color scheme - black and white. (You really can't go wrong with black and white!) And, I decided to use my Julep Matte Top Coat for the second time ever - I love the look of it! The matte effect is perfect for pastel...

Image via TGIF! This week kind of flew by for me. I: -Found out on Monday that I won a $1000 shopping spree at Topshop - amaze, right? Who knew that people actually win these things? Kidding! I actually won to meet Fifth Harmony that same night, but since I confessed that I'm not a huge fan (not that I don't like them, only that I know very little about them, having only watched like one episode of X-Factor when they were on it), they said they'll let someone else meet them and I can just pick up...

So I've mentioned Keaton Row quite a few times on the blog, but have you ever wondered what an actual Lookbook looks like? I created my first public lookbook to be able to share with all of you! This is the front cover: And here's a glimpse of the first page: When you're on the actual page, you can scroll down to see all the item details. And if I've written a comment or tip on a specific item, there's an underlined " mark in the top left corner of that item.  After scrolling through each look, you...

Now that the weather is finally warming up, I've been hyper-aware of how pale I am after this long, longgggg winter. Some of the effects of winter was a dryness I wasn't accustomed to - my skin normally behaves pretty well, but this winter was harsh on my cheeks in particular, and really drying! Here are a few products I've found to help me recapture that summery, warm-weather glow: Elle has sang the praises of Boscia's Tsubaki Oil (#1) so I gave it a try during Sephora's Chic Week. Not only does it smell amazing, but it really did give...

Sunday was a gorgeous, albeit really windy, day, and after brunch on the Upper West Side we rather spontaneously went to check out Smorgasburg in Dumbo. I was too full to eat anything after brunch, but tried an Arnold Palmer slushie with white peach mixed in. It was delicious!  I fell in love with these leaf-print shorts when I saw them, and the moment I touched them I knew they had to come home with me. They're super soft and light, and will be perfect as the weather heats up! Checking out the view - pretty amazing huh?...

Image via Happy Friday!  How was your week? Mine was kinda nuts. I worked at Intermezzo, the accessories & clothing trade show that went on at the piers this week, and it was my first trade show. It was tiring, but cool to see more of the industry and how it all works, which I always love to find out more about! This weekend a friend from HK will be in town, and I'm going to SELF's Workout in the Park tomorrow, which I've always wanted to attend but never did, so I'm excited!  All right, I'm off...

Blazer: mark. | Top: Topshop | Pants: ASOS | Necklace: Chanel | Shoes: Zara I really love high-waist pants, and don't own enough of them! They are perfect for my body type - it raises my waistline and therefore makes my legs look longer, which I obviously love. In this particular outfit, the blazer made me feel very slouchy, 80's and early 90s business woman!  Photos by Ruby Chow ...

I love pesto sauce, probably even more so since I found out I was allergic to tomatoes a couple years ago and therefore have a limit to how much I can eat. (I'm only mildly allergic, luckily!) I'd never made it myself, but when I came across this recipe for a healthier, "skinny" version, I decided to try it! It's surprisingly easy, and tastes so good! Then, continuing the theme of eating healthily without sacrificing taste or your budget, I'm going to share a recipe for a pesto chicken wrap! Ingredients for the pesto: 3 cups basil leaves...

Shirt: Gap | Jeans: Zara (similar) | Belt: Gap (similar) | Bag: Louis Vuitton (new version) | Sunglasses: Ray Ban | Shoes: Zara (similar) I love this oxford shirt from Gap so much that I literally have it in 3 colors - white, a brighter, more vivid medium blue, and this light blue. It's so soft and comfortable, like a chambray but even softer! And I love pairing it with fresh, clean white skinny jeans and brown accessories to keep the whole effect light and summery.

Image via Happy Friday!! Who can believe it's May already? I certainly cannot, especially since it still isn't quite hot here in the city yet. I'm trying to enjoy it though, as Spring never lasts very long before we dive head first into a hot, humid, and lonnnnnggg summer! This weekend I don't have a ton of plans, which is something I actually value a lot. I mainly plan on sitting outside this weekend to enjoy the sunshine (just like the girl in the photo above, except I think I'll have to do some work - blog posts,...

  Blazer: J. Crew (similar) | Tee: Topshop (similar) | Skirt: Club Monaco | Shoes: Zara (similar) | Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters | Clutch: H&M It was finally warm enough for a miniskirt this weekend! I normally live in minis in warm weather and was psyched to finally wear one this year. Plus, I love this particular one because it's made of a thick, soft knit material, and hello - look at the colors and print! It was love at first sight.  Photos by Lauren ...

Coat: Lilly Pulitzer (similar) | Bag: Alexander Wang | Shoes: Zara (similar) | Sunglasses: Oliver Peoples There were a few things that attracted me to this particular coat:  1. The collar. It's so...royal! 2. The pink lining - I love little details like that! 3. The A-line - it's practically a dress when worn completely buttoned up like I am here! 4. The material. It's the perfect weight when a trench is too stuffy but it's still somewhat cool out. In other words, it's the perfect spring coat! 5. And last but not the least, the bow. It...
