Scenes From The Weekend

Happy Unofficial Start to Summer!

I hope you all had lovely weekends. Memorial day aside, for me summer unofficially commences when I can finally show off a cheery pedicure (I'm currently loving OPI Red). Once I find something that works I'm extremely loyal. A pedicure, white denim, nautical stripes, loosely tousled hair and dewy makeup are a few of my favorite summer weekend looks. 

My weekend included a trip to the spa, reading, working on my photography, shopping for lacy things in mauve and aubergine, elaborate picnics and rowing along in a little rowboat in Central Park. I love that park and there's nothing like the first few warm days to get me out in the fresh air. I happily threw on a summery  Temperley dress and we made our way to the lake. Little did I know that balancing two in a rowboat while trying to take a few outfit shots would be a challenge to say the least. I'm happy to report that the boat did not overturn and we were not marooned along the banks.

If there is one thing I've learned it's to stay true to my aesthetic. Even if that means rowing in a Temperley dress. I simply wouldn't be me if I didn't pull myself together for even the most relaxed summer afternoons. How did you spend the weekend? 

PS- How wonderful is that Loewe picnic hamper? Loewe is one of those luxury brands that has been on my mind lately. There's a consistency to their vision that is simply divine.

  1. "Once I find something that works I'm extremely loyal." and "If there is one thing I've learned it's to stay true to my aesthetic." are invaluable sayings, I absolutely agree with you.

    Lovely post! You make me dream of rowing away from my exams.

  2. I love OPI too - big apple red is perfection. I spent my weekend flirting - my favourite part of the summer ;) and yes, I love a pretty dress in the summer. And some jewelry in gold or semiprecious stones.

  3. Fleurette- Thanks!I think those two little things really simplify your life not to mention your style. Good luck with your exams! There's nothing like a little exam escapism;)

    Ammu- I think there's a shade of red for everyone. Although it took me the longest time to find one. Now I'm hooked on this for a pedi color. RE- flirting- you are as adorable as can be. So cute. Summer is all about dresses. Oh and I can never resist jewelry.

  4. I live in New York! I like to go to San Ambroeus, get a croissant and iced coffee and day dream while I look at these little boats!

  5. t h e l i n e s h e e t- San Ambroeus is one of my favorite UES places for grabing a refreshment. The little boat pond is the perfect place for daydreaming- it's so serene. I'm going to try to organize a blogger meet up around Fashion Week if some of my favorite bloggers come for the shows. You must join!
