Spring Florals in Central Park

Spring is finally in full bloom over here in NYC and I couldn’t be more excited! It seems like forever since my last blog post, but I’ve been busy over here with an art show I’m preparing for my students and I had the lovely surprise of my family visiting for my 30th Birthday recently. (Sigh)  For the longest time it felt like we’d never see spring, so when I was finally able to put away all sweaters for good.  I couldn’t wait to transition to spring and summer months!

Living on the UES makes Central Park so accessible and I try to take full advantage of it’s beauty.  There’s always something going on whether it’s a concert, summer movie night,  or Shakespeare in the Park I love being able to explore all of it’s different spots. The conservatory gardens make for a great spot for strolling and gorgeous photos!  There’s also a few favorite cafes and restaurants along the way there I’ll be sharing this season that are perfect for taking a break from the park for a quick bite or cool down drink with friends. Although my favorite is just having a picnic setup and now there’s ways to make a reservation for one to be setup for you upon arrival! No fuss or bringing anything with you. 

Now with all of the spring blooms it’s also a crazy allergy season right now ! All of the trees were in full bloom the first warm weekend of the season and the park was unbelievably packed so I can’t wait until the school year ends so I can take advantage of it during the weekdays. 

I snagged this cold shoulder top on sale recently and hadn’t paired red and pink together in a while, which is a new combo I’ve been into. This top has the perfect ruffle that falls on the chest and sleeve and could be paired with black pants for an office look with a blazer or even with shorts for something more casual. I try to keep versatility in mind when styling different pieces together.  

What are your favorite places to adventure to in the spring ? I’d love to hear about them!

Eyelet Tank & Denim

On my recent trip and first trip to Charleston I took to sightseeing right away...even before checking into our resort. It was way hot for denim so this is the only day I was in it thankfully, though I am obsessed with this Joe's pair and have to order more since they can be hard to find! I love the stretch to them and light distressed knee area. 

These Sam Edelman sandals are super comfy and my go to each summer and the new versions for this season are gorgeous. They're easy to travel with and can be paired so many ways!  Below I've linked my casual look for walking around. More to come on a recap from this little vacation getaway soon! 

On this first day I loved walking along the Battery swooning over the old historical mansions and then catching shade under the gorgeous oaks in the parks. There's just so much I loved about this quaint yet vibrant historic area and I couldn't get enough. So many adorably colorful streets with shops and restaurants.
