Leather + Stripes

A staple in any woman's wardrobe should be a classic black leather jacket. Since moving to NYC it is my go-to jacket for spring and fall, and is perfect for when the sun sets and the night gets a little chilly. My favorite way to style it is with a basic white tee and jeans, or as seen here with black and white stripes. I think it also pairs perfect with a feminine spring dress. It adds a little edge to an otherwise girly outfit, and in the city, this is a must! ; )

Spring Stripes

Springtime in NYC is the most beautiful time of year. Full, colorful, bright blooms, light jacket weather, sunshine, long walks (as in, walking everywhere). I absolutely love this time of year. Winter and I are not friends one bit, but the cold and snow does force me to appreciate the springtime even more. I bought this black and white striped dress for $12 at a random side street shop in midtown, and absolutely love it. It is is so flowy and perfect with a denim jacket or sweater. I paired it with a hat since it was very bright out that day, and of course...sneakers! I think this would have looked even better with white converse, but as I think those shoes are extremely uncomfortable, I've opted for nikes. Hope everyone is having a great week so far!
