White Out

Warm weather means that summer is near, and one of my favorite things to wear in the summer is white. It always manages to show off a good tan! White shorts, a colored tee, and a denim jacket, and flip-flops...pure beach-side summer perfection. Take me to the shore now!

Since I can't justify wearing white pants or shorts just yet (no shame to those of you who do, it's a personal thing!), I've decided that a white handbag is a close second to channeling your inner summer goddess, without getting too beachy, too early in the game. Here are some of my favs...now if only I had the paycheck to afford them all!

I Run Because I Can

Yesterday I completed my second half marathon, and I have to say, it feels so good to say that. Nothing compares to the feeling that you have when you cross the finish line after pounding the pavement for 13.1 miles. Joy, pain, excitement, and most of all accomplishment.

I ran the More/Fitness Women's Half Marathon for the second year in a row (the largest women's half marathon in the country!) and am so proud of myself for finishing, yet again. I didn't train nearly as hard I did last year, but I made it through alive and still pumping! The course is through Central Park, and anyone who is familiar with it, will know that the hills are killer. A+ for me and everyone who ran yesterday morning! My body completely hates me today, as a consequence. Buuuut I'm treating myself to a massage later at Bliss...can't beat that!!

Congrats to all the amazing women out there who finished yesterday. Whether it was your first, or your 20th race, you rock! So proud to have taken part in this amazing event. Until next year...

Here are some insta pics from yesterday. What a perfect day for a run in the park:

Wardrobe Wednesday

This look is actually my outfit from yesterday, and I really loved the way the chambray and dark denim looked together. I wore a leopard belt and my fav dvf nude/leopard flats, to give the blue hues some punch. With an army green jacket and my orange michael kors bag, I totally loved my complete look!

Color My Life With the Chaos of Color

It's no surprise that I have an obsession with color, but what I love even more, is pairing bright colors with neutral pieces. I love when color pops against a neutral palate, especially in accessories--specifically shoes. I've been addicted to these hot pink Michael Kors flats all season, (seriously can't get enough) but I'm obsessed with how they kick a normal every day outfit up a notch. It makes for a fun and unexpected punch of color...a great conversation piece too! That being said, I'm totally loving all of these neutral shoes that have just the right amount of color. They are perfect for brightening up a gloomy day, or just adding to an already cheery mood :) My favorite pair ? The Loeffler Randall wicker wedges with the neon trim. Sexyyyy!

Nothing like posting this at 5pm on a Friday...if that's any inclination as to how crazy this week/today has been! I'm looking forward to organizing my life a little this weekend (i.e, my incredibly messy room), as well as partying a little tomorrow at a friends BBQ. Hoping for a fun and relaxing weekend before the craziness hits with work again next week. Heading down to Miami for another week of shooting...insanity strikes again! Happy weekend everyone!!

UGG Australia Fall 2012

I thought this week was going to be a quiet one here in the office, but it has proved to be otherwise. I've been busy working on some market work for an upcoming Miami shoot, but I've also been hitting up some previews to see Fall 2012 collections. I visited the UGG showroom yesterday, and fell in love with just about everything. They've totally branched off from the typical UGG boot circa 2000, and have created some awesome pieces that I'm DYING to get my hands on for the fall. So cozy, so lux, and so me! Here are some of my favs:
