Rain, Rain Please Stay.

The rain continues here in the Big Apple, and yours truly is without a slicker, umbrella, or wellies, natch.

I trolled the web for some chic options and was surprisingly pleased with what I found:



I like the Kelly Green color and retro preppy vibe of this Priorities Phoebe rain jacket. You can find it on sale at Shop Intuition.



I trekked out to the Target in Brooklyn this weekend to ogle the new Richard Chai collection and was disappointed to find most of the racks picked clean. I did find the dress in this pattern but I think I like the trench even better. Order it online before it sells out.




Part of me thinks that a short sleeved raincoat is as useful as flip flops in the snow but this Guess trench is so chic and wearable that I think I could overlook it in this case. Get it online here.



The "Bond Girl" trench from Yoana Baraschi is just that: sleek, suave, and sophisticated. Plus it totally feeds my rock star fantasy. Get it at Bluefly.

New York Street Beat: True Colors

You know it’s officially summer when city residents shed their murky colored wardrobes in favor of more vibrant options. Estelle, seen here in SoHo, won us over with her electro-Kool-Aid inspired ensemble – the vintage jacket from Disney World (believe it or not) perfectly accents those bright bangles and Carmen Ho flats. Her brilliant mix of old (she’s had those adorable shorts since the age of 14) and new (tank from Victoria’s Secret Sport) injected a bit of tropical chic into the urban landscape.
