So we’ve got a real FAUX FALL happening here. It’s grey, and it’s rainy but it’s oddly humid and my hair is in a perma-Gilda (but like, not cute).So I do what I can; I wear a jacket, I keep the leg bare, I wear shoes high enough to keep me out of puddles and I look for color combinations that keep me findable in the monsoon.ARMY JACKET: Forever21 // TANK: Tucker x OfAKind // Patent Leather Belt: Gap // Perfect Neon SKirt: ADAM // Triple Sole CreepersThese are favorite items …

breakfast for dinner
hello! last night i scurried all the way to the upper east side, to an event thrown by decades to benefit sloan-kettering hospital’s cancer center. basically, i got to sip champagne and feast my eyes on some of the most beautiful designer vintage clothing i’ve ever seen in person – none of which i could afford, of course. still, it was fun, and i got to catch up with a long-lost friend, which is always a good thing. top: thrifted vintagescarf: thriftedboots & skirt: madewellearrings: c/o charming charlie …

Last week we took a family trip with my Dad and Stepmom to California. It’s one of our favorite places to take the kids. We have been taking them every year since they were about 2.
