Summer in the City Chic



So, I had a girls weekend in NYC for a very special baby shower (not mine!) and got a few hours to shop one afternoon (hence the missed post). I was so inspired by many of the simply summer chic women I spotted on the street. I tried to take mental notes of commonalities and noticed a few themes: 1) oversize sunglasses 2) an easy breezy dress 3) metallic sandals 4) a classy Hermes inspired satchel. These items work as individuals or come together so well. They just look classy. Now, I am not sure if these ladies were moms, since they were sans strollers, but every item is practical and works into many other looks. Here are some affordable expensive looking items that fit the bill. Outfit posts coming soon...

Yosi Samra Obsessed

Looking for a so comfy yet chic shoe? These shoes caught my eye after I saw Charlize Theron in them in a Who What Wear Post...( see here ). They are totally affordable, totally comfortable, and totally chic. Plus they fold into a TINY bag, and come out looking like a way more expensive flat...think Lanvin.  Another plus - the rubber soles are shock absorbent so you have traction when that little one takes off on you! Sidebar-  Who What Wear is a great website for fashion inspiration and they always present both splurge and affordable options. Look under inspiration for the link.

Palm Trend - The Mom Way

So I am loving the palm tree prints in trend this summer. I am suddenly feeling inspired by all the amazing hawaiin print Stella McCartney dresses seen on all the celebs and the Skinny Girl pina colada I just enjoyed. Don't worry ladies - I never drunk online shop. The question is  - how to incorporate this look into mine without being kitschy and keeping it chic of course! Since I won't be dropping the dough on a Stella, even though she is having a sale online (click here ), I think I have thought of a few ways to do it without breaking bank. What do you think? Ready for your drink?
