Performance Wear

Only a few more days until pounding the pavement for the #airbnbbkhalf!

Training these last few weeks have been rough schedule-wise. You got your AM runs, yoga classes, showroom visits + events, and let's not forget what pays the rent - a 9 to 5 job. Trying to look semi-presentable throughout it all is tough but doable since athlesiure is huge right now - can I get a hallelujah!

Which brings me to Lucy's latest spring collection. You can basically go (#lucyletsgo) from sweat to work to cocktails in it, although I'd recommend having some sort of base under it to do the sweating in and later peeling it off. Otherwise things can get a little stinky (if we're being honest).

I'm living in these Dance Workout Capris from Lucy and if the time calls for a dressier look - strappy heels work wonders. As for the jewelry, I've been skipping necklaces and earrings and opting for gold midi rings from local designer Jewels of June instead. The gold plated rings look best when stacked so make sure to get more than 1 from her site or mix and match with what you have at home.

Madison Square Eats has returned which means outdoor lunch is always a must. 

If you're in NYC during the month of May (or just plain live here) - #MadSqEats brings much needed variety to the bleak food options we have around here. Not to say I don't love my Bread & Butter (I really do love them at times) but sometimes you just need a sangeria and sloppy tacos.

Whenever I head out to that wonderful oasis of food and dranks I tend to go as is. That means: no laptop, my purse (currently obsessed with this one from Ora Delphine), a light convertible jacket from Mo-Ka, and my Timex watch for keeping track of time.

Yes, I do still have my phone on me - but if I'm lunching with friends or solo I try to keep the hour to detox from social and relish in the moment. Hour of zen if you will.

This was too good I had to share. Me having a hangry moment pre-lunch #bloggerbloopers.

Shirt: American Apparel  Skirt: American Apparel (similar style)  Jacket: Mo-Ka  Necklace: Custom  Purse: c/o Ora Delphine  Shoes: c/o Elliott Lucca  Watch: Timex  Sunglasses: Asos (similar)  Lipgloss: Buxom Full-On Lip Polish in Megan

But let's get back to the Mo-Ka jacket. It's been on my person non-stop (insta-proof ova here) for its light-weight feel and is perfect for that in-between spring-to-summer season. You know the type - hazy misty mornings, humid lunches, and breezy night walks. Bonus points for all the extra pockets in all the right places. It might be there for aesthetic purposes, but I like to think they had bag lady syndrome sufferers in mind - i.e. me.

Are you a fan yet? Lucky for us Mo-Ka has given all of us an additional 20% off any purchase from their e-store here by using code STYLEBORO20. Not only that one lucky reader has the chance to win a jacket of their choosing from Mo-Ka or their sister brands.

Full Bloom

Remember when I mentioned a few months ago how I was saving up for a few investment pieces? Well here's the Equipment silk shirt and I am straight up in love.

It took me about two months to save up - I even found it for way less on eBay! So ladies, if you're ever looking to add a few designer pieces always shop around. Shopstyle is like the google of shopping and eBay will always surprise you with something wonderful.

And it arrived just in time to clean up real nice for my dear sweet mama. She always been a fan of me in florals - well, anything that makes me look femme basically. Now the question is, can I avoid spilling anything on this shirt with my niece around.

Let's hope so (fingers crossed).

I actually wore this entire look to work last week - the weather has been so uh-mazing for bare legs across the island. But, as you can see the mini skirt is a little too mini when combined with heels. I made sure to switch to flats to keep it PG rated around the office.

As soon as happy hour rolled around though - that was an entirely different story. These EasySpirit heels definitely came out to play.
