Stylin' Spring

I was all eager to do a post on colorful spring outfits but realized this is NY & though we are all bursting at the seams for warmth & bright colors come spring the weather usually takes its sweet ass time.

So while in my mind I am prancing around in tulips & sunshine wearing fun & colorful halter dresses the truth is my fitted black leather biker jacket is going over everything I wear for the time being...
(from Zara a few years back) 

But on the bright side at least I can shed the winter wool & fur & any birds that may have nested in my hair for the winter....

(this was my attempt at imitating Alexander McQueen with a three year old, mad design skillz at work...)
Here are some of my top picks as we transition to the warmer weather & all work perfectly with a fitted black leather jacket & black booties or heels...

Maje leather jacket & jacquard skirt, great pairing of textures...
drooling over Fendi's canvas & leather skirt as well...
Sandro's Ravel dress is a gorgeous, rich color & transitions easily from day to evening (on sale now too!)...
love the pattern & playfulness of Banana Republic's floral ruffle dress...
another sweet Sandro pick, I could live in their clothes...
a great day to evening look from Club Monaco...
& when you're sick of your black leather jacket & want to be the coolest girl in town throw on Alexander McQueen's rose silver metallic leather jacket...
perfection with everything from jeans to evening wear, McQueen leaves me speechless yet again...now this is my idea of the ultimate Easter getup :)....
Happy stylin' spring friends & I hope you are reveling in this season of rebirth & renewal :) Xoxo

NYC Happynings

Happy March friends!  What an amazing month- birthdays for my sister, mom & one of my best friends, St. Patrick's Day, & spring is just around the corner- beer & celebration all around, ha!!

NYC to me is one big celebration of life- I love it so much because it constantly surprises & it never gets old.  On a stroll on any given day you will discover the beautiful, hysterical, sublime & just downright weird, many times on the same block.  Here's a peek at some of my strolls lately....

downtown is where I buy all my crystals & charge my batteries...
even though I'm all about the light side I need this, especially with my newfound super powers (why no adult sizes J. Crew?!)....
coziness, coffee, dogs & fireplaces...I could live in this room at the Crosby Street Hotel... 
spring is always in full bloom in the Flower District...
the romantic, old-world glamour of the Upper West Side makes my heart melt...
& look what I saw getting a stroller ride down Broadway!!!  If this isn't a bucket of happiness I don't know what is...
NYC, you never cease to surprise & delight me with your magic :) :)...
