Coney Island Day Trip

Finally made my way down to the sea shore with one sole intention. Well, two actually: catch magic hour and get a few Coney Island dogs. I'd say the BF and I were pretty successful.

Not only is it beach season (YASSSS), but we're also knee deep in the festival season. In my honest opinion there is no better way to enjoy life post-pollen tsunami. In fact the first festival lined up is Governor's Ball sans mud this time around.

If the weather gods cooperate you'll find me on the GovBall grounds dancing in this black jumpsuit (or something similar) and carrying my festival essentials in this handcrafted purse from Patricia Nash. May have to change the shoes for practical ones but for now, this is what I'm settled on.  

Going back to new-to-me Patricia Nash - I recently discovered this brand earlier this year and got the chance to view their fall collection. The handcrafted details are impeccable and at the same time has this sense of nostalgia behind it. For me, it reminds me of prancing around in my mom's hand-etched leather tote as a child. It's kind of funny how years later I'll be prancing around at a festival with a similar purse.

Inspiration: Looks I Love (Pt. 14)

I've recently started working for a very bohemian brand and fell into the free flowing style of the gypsy spirit. The loose and light fabrics are also perfect for the rounds of festival (precisely two) coming up this month.

If time permits I may make a pit stop at Beacon's to swap out some of my things for something a bit more festival-friendly - like the looks I'm loving above.

TSB: May Rack Up

This rack up should be called "what I wore during the worst allergies of my life." Anyone else affected by the pollen tsunami. Somehow I managed to look put together and get through the entire month with my nose still attached. A good thing because I don't have much to start with. This week however I'm feeling so under the weather - everything feels impossible. Bear with me and send me ALL of the good vibes.

Here's looking back at May:

The weather was pretty awesome (minus the trees attempting to suffocate me) so I took full advantage of baring my legs. Now that we're headed into a rainy week I'm glad to have shown off these hard earned gams - running 13.2 miles ain't easy. 

Which looks were your favs? Any you'd love to see restyled a different way?
