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.

Easy Breezy Summer Tops

The choking heat continues here in NYC so my eyes are constantly peeled for light breezy clothes to help me cope.

I saw a girl on 5^th Avenue yesterday sporting this sweet pink top and it is so much prettier when it’s on an actual person rather than crammed into an overstocked clothing rack. She looked so comfortable and chic and I totally regretted not trying it on my previous marathon J. Crew shopping extravaganza.

I am a sucker for all things ombre so this silk charmeuse tank really leapt out at me. Since there isn’t a Dillards anywhere nearby I haven’t seen it in person but this picture really makes me want to whip out the ol’ MC and give it a whirl.

Some of my best purchases were made this way and I’m feeling a little lucky. Would you buy something online sight unseen?
