Summer in the City

As you are reading this, I’m either in a taxi on my way to the airport, at the airport, on a plane or sleeping in my bed. My goal is to make it into my bed this afternoon and sleep until tomorrow morning! I spent the weekend in NYC (specifically, Chelsea) with my friend Krista and we had a blast… I had never been to NYC in the summertime (always the fall or winter) so it was a lot different to see the city in warm weather. Everything is much more laid-back, the sun is shining and people just seem to be in a great mood. 
I wore this outfit on Saturday… we had brunch, went shopping around SoHo and even made a YouTube video (coming soon!). You can’t really see the detailing on these embellished shorts in the photos but it’s beautiful! There are small jewels and beads sewn onto the shorts. I also used my Tory Burch Robinson bag for the first time this weekend! I picked it out for my birthday because I thought it would be the perfect bag for fall… I can’t waiiiiiit to wear it with riding boots when the weather turns a little cooler.
We did not get much sleep this weekend… I think we averaged about three hours per night… so I am going to bed probably as soon as I get home this afternoon. I can’t think well when I’m sleep deprived and I’m sure this whole day is going to be a struggle! Anyways, don’t forget about the Nordstrom sale going on. I blogged about my picks here 🙂

  20. Love these beautiful pictures!! Isn't NYC in the summer so fun? For my 15th birthday, my parents took me to the city (my birthday is in early September so we went at the end of August) and it was wonderful!!! Although my shopping tastes have definitely changed- at the time the highlight of the shopping for me was visiting the Hollister flagship store. 😉

    Can't wait to see your video!
