NYC: 3 Events to Scope Out

Just a short post on a few exciting events you should check out this month, if you're in NYC.

1. The Seed Experience

For an exciting two days in NYC, The Seed invites those who are curious about the vegan lifestyle to learn all there is on living a positively plant based life. There will be cooking classes, tasty vegan samples, and informative sessions to kickstart your health-kick. The two days of vegan exploration happens on Aug. 9 + 10 @ 82 Mercer Street.

Get more info + register here.

2. Jeff Koons: A Retrospective @ The Whitney

Before you get the Jeff Koons x HM balloon dog purse make sure you visit the exhibition. Koons, an American artist, turns banality into lustrous pieces of arts. I'm a lover of contemporary art and sculpture and will be sure not to miss the last exhibition being held at the Whitney (before they move downtown).

3. Discover Victorinox latest watch: the I.N.O.X.

Head over to SIR Stage37 and get the chance to discover the new timepiece before anyone else with the chance to win one of the seven watches they have up for grabs. The event is free and jam-packed with lots of surprises. Although, I am a lady, I think having classic and strong watch on my wrist packs quite the statement and so YES you'll see me there vying for the chance to bring a new timepiece home.

Register for the event here (August 27th)

Core Wardrobe in the Creative Space

Like promised in my last style post, I'm going to focus more on what I wear to the creative space... my office.

Sweater: Press Fashions  Lipstick: Half 'n Half via MAC  Boyfriend Shorts: Zara  Booties: Crown Vintage via DSW  Rings: Capwell+Co/Vanessa Mooney

Thankfully there's some elbow room in what I can and can't wear. My older sister, who is up to her neck deep in the corporate world, wants me to do another month challenge dedicated to her dressing woes. We'll see if I take her on, but for now I'll make sure to keep this month creative only haha. 

My summer office necessities revolve around: Not-too-short boyfriend shorts - they're incredibly handy for those late-start mornings. Grab any top and you're ready to jet out the door. They've been my best purchase this entire summer!

This light sweater from Press Fashions - the polar vortex has nothing on my office's air conditioning. Thankfully this sweater saves me from it's powerful blast of cold air every time I've worn it. I'm especially loving its hints of sheer.

Booties - these booties go with just about everything I own, essentially making them my go-to pair lately. Plus, I can still walk in them after a solid eight hours. Heck, I can even bike in these and still am good to go!

What's your core wardrobe for the office/school/errands?
