Hi everyone! Hope you are having a fabulous Thursday! I spent the past weekend in Chicago, a city that I love fondly. When I was in college, I went on an exchange program to study at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign. Although it was only a short semester, I really enjoyed every moment of this unique and invaluable experience. I used to drive up to Chicago every now and then to spend the weekend there. Years later it's easy to tell that this beautiful city never lost any of its charm. I like to think of visiting Chicago as catching up with an old friend that I haven't seen in years. It's familiar and comforting, just like the good old times, as if nothing's changed :)

Blue My Mind

Rockaway Beach Getaway
Hi everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful long weekend and are recharged for the week ahead. I went away to Rockaway beach over the weekend for a little getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Some times it's just nice to be able to take a break, free your mind and get away on a little adventure :)

Summer Chambray
Hi everyone! Hope you are having a great day! Despite the sad fact that summer is soon coming to an end, I am looking forward to transitioning to fall. Fall is one of my favorite seasons of the year. I love watching the leaves turn to a brilliant shade of burnt orange, and the air always smells cleaner and fresher for some reason. It is also the perfect season for layering on jackets, light sweaters, scarfs...endless options. But for now, I am still loving my roof top garden cocktails, outdoor dining and my summer chambray.

Flower Power
Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! What I thought was going to be a miserable day turned out to be great. I love it when that happens :) On gloomy days I often like to put in the extra effort to make up for the shortfall in weather, mood or circumstances. I always believe that how you dress directly influences your mood, thus, a happy outfit ensures a positive outlook for the day no matter what it may bring. To ditch the rain this morning, I thought some flower power was much needed.

Going to Great Lengths
Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! Hope you are having a wonderful day! Since the start of summer (and even spring) I have wanted to try a maxi dress/skirt. Today, being a cooler day and accompanied by a gentle breeze, I thought it would be the perfect day to sport one :)

2013 Summer Favorites!
Hi everyone! Hope you are enjoying your week! As we settle into summer, I thought I would share with you my current summer favorites. These are all items I've been using non stop, on repeat :)
- Healthy Sexy Hair: Soy Touchable Weightless Hairspray - This baby holds your hair without the "crunch", the potent hairspray smell or the nasty chemicals...what's not to love?
- Twistband: "Raspberry", "Navy blue" - No more painful pulls, awkward dents or damage to the hair! I also have their head bands which are great for workouts.
- Vaseline: Spray & Go in Pure Aloe - Light but moisturizing, perfect for summer. Just spray on and it's quickly absorbed, making your daily routine so much faster and efficient.
- Simple: Cleansing Facial Wipes - Removes makeup, cleanses my face, plus it's gentle and kind to the skin.
- H&M: nail polish in "Norwegian Sky" (similar) - A fresh dose of minty color to pretty up your nails this summer :)
- Maybelline Color Whisper Lip Color in "Petal Rebel" - Such a pretty shade of translucent baby pink. Yes please!
- Revlon: lip butter in "Pink Lemonade" - A beautiful mixture of light pink and coral (just as the name suggests), goes on buttery soft and super moisturizing.
- BaubleBar: Cerise Jumbo Bloom Bib - Such a happy and cheerful necklace! Adds a nice pop of color to any summer outfit.
- Avene: Thermal Spring Water - Absolutely in love with this! Any time I need a refresher in the heat, this baby soothes and hydrates with pure water from the French alps.
- L'Oreal: Sublime Sunscreen Oil Spray SPF 50+ - This summer, I am all about the sprays :) I love how it dispenses so easily from the spray bottle. It's non-greasy, has a high SPF protection and the best part?...It smells great, not your average sun block!
- BaubleBar: String Fling bracelets - Too cute and so great for layering. Bring on the arm paaaarty....yay!
- DVF: Sun glasses (also loving this) - this pair is an oldie but a goodie. My everyday go-to sunnies that goes with literally any thing I wear, and a great shield from the bright sun.
- VitaCoco: Pure Coconut Water with Pineapple - I don't love drinking water, but thanks to the infinite supply at work, this baby has been my go-to drink for the summer. It's all natural, incredibly hydrating, nutrient packed and tastes delish! What more could you ask for?
I would love to know what you are currently loving :)
Thanks for dropping by!

Soft Lilac & Blushing Pinks
Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! Hope you had a fabulous weekend and a great start to the week! My weekend was super relaxed, filled with shopping in the village, a picnic at Battery park with great company and an awesome home cooked seafood brunch. For easy weekends like these, I love to match it with a cute outfit that's also comfortable. I layered on a touch of glamour just cos I cannot resist a beautiful floral bib :-P

Summer Romper, Short & Sweet
Hi everyone! Hope you are having a great Tuesday! Over the weekend, I went to check out Williamsburg. Williamsburg is a culturally diverse and colorful neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. Even though I have been there a number of times, previous visits have always been hurried, leaving no time to do any decent exploration. So, this time I made sure I did just that! I walked, I saw, I tasted and experienced to my heart's content :) In the heat of summer, this cute little romper was the perfect acompaniment to stroll around town.

Strappy Neon with High-Low Dress
Hi everyone! Hope you all had a fantastic Independence Day long weekend, and enjoyed taking some time off to relax and unwind. I went to see the Macy's fireworks and would highly recommend getting there early if you are keen to get a great spot, and don't fancy starring into the back of some tall guy's head. We didn't manage to leave the house early enough, so we were trapped in a sea of bodies, which at this time of the year, is really not a great idea. But, I was still happy just to be part of the action. I love a good show, and fireworks usually tops the chart! :)
