My new favorite accessory is my new leather baseball hat.  The most fashionable savvy person I know gave it to me.  If you're wondering who this mystery person is...it's my sister-in-law.  She's amazing & beautiful. She knows more about fashion than anyone else I know.  She keeps me updated on trends, let's me know about any cool blogs she finds and always encourages me with my dreams.  

  Last night we took an adventure to a new grocery store in the city. We're still trying to figure out what works best for us. Getting stuff delivered or going to the store every few days.  I think in the next few months we'll figure it out.

shoe swap!

After moving to New York and having a 3 minute walk to work, I was convinced that I'd be able to walk in my heels to the office.  However, I quickly realized that a pair of flats can get me to work faster AND they save my nice heels from the concrete and dirt in the city.  Very few woman walk to work in heels.  Most are wearing flip flops or a cute pair of sandals.  A good friend told me, you'll quickly become a bag lady in New York.  You'll need your purse and then an extra bag for everything else (extra pair of shoes, umbrella, makeup, water, etc).

I also wanted to bring an element of reality to blogging.  Typically when Matt and I take photos for my blog, I bring a pair of flats.  In most blogs the outfit seems so effortless, I beg to differ...at some point a pair of shoes were swapped out! 

I found this great pair of Vince Camuto slippers at Nordstoms, they work great to walk to work.  They are very professional and super comfy!

Love this look for the summer. Especially when going out for date night or meeting the girls.
