Puddle Jumpers
This weather is seriously driving me crazy. April is long gone, yet the showers continue…and continue…and continue. Rainy weather makes for such a nasty commute, especially when you’re relying on public transportation. Picture it – wet seats, dripping umbrellas, etc, etc. One thing that is REQUIRED for navigating NYC in the rain is a fantastic pair of rubber boots. The last thing you want is to end up ankle deep in a dirty puddle with nothing protecting your feet. Believe me, I’ve been there. My picks are below, and they range from $30 on up. Enjoy!

Aquamarine
Left: Constant Carribean by Cover Girl
Right: Azuré by Chanel
Today I’m of thinking of nail polish – of the bluish green variety, to be specific. The polishes above vary in price point ($5 for Cover Girl vs. $27 for Chanel) but both offer a pretty, iridescent aquamarine hue. Some may consider this color a little edgy, but I love how a pop of color can brighten up an outfit (especially if you usually wear dark colors, like me). Just make sure that you keep nails neat and short if you choose to sport this color to work. :)

Easy Office Style
Sometimes the best outfits are effortless, meaning (to me, at least) that they come together without much thought at all. On the day pictured, I was SO not in the mood to be creative with my wardrobe. So I threw my hair into a low pony, grabbed my black trousers and paired them with a white tee. Not a tee of the undershirt sort, but of the “this is borderline work appropriate” sort. I then looked at myself in the mirror…and felt sloppy. The look was elevated when I slipped on my jeweled Kate Spade flats (other fun flat options here and here), then tucked in the shirt and added some bracelets and a somewhat chunky J. Crew necklace (similar here). I was work ready.
My coworker Becky, who took my pic when I got to work, told me that I looked like a magazine editor. I think it was the glasses.

J. Crew’s June Style Guide
I wait for J. Crew’s style guide each month as if it were Vogue Magazine. No joke. It’s truly amazing what Jenna Lyons has done to transform this brand. I’ve included the items I’m coveting from this month’s guide above…a glam handmade tote, a chic short-sleeved sweatshirt and a crazy cool statement necklace. Now I’ve just got to control the urge to buy EACH ONE.

Made for Brunch
I’m feeling a floor-sweeping maxi dress with comfortable wedges, a cute denim vest or jacket and a statement necklace. Easy breezy clutch. Brunch ready, don’t you think? Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Glitter Digits
Nail art is so on trend right now, and while there are a million options to choose from (stripes! polka dots! ombré!) I prefer to punch up my manicures via what I like to call a “party nail.” It’s a pop of color on any finger you like – and it’s just subtle enough to be work appropriate (in my office environment, at least). As you can see below, I’ve chosen my index finger and in each instance, a little glitter polish does the deed. So easy, so fun – and a great way to hide a chipped nail.

Currently Coveting…Frends
Every pair of ear buds that I own is broken, with the exception of the little white ones that came with my iPhone…and those aren’t my favorite. I spend about two hours a day commuting, so I’m thinking it would be a good idea to invest in some really nice earphones. My husband favors these by Bose, but I’m looking for something a little more….fashionable? Check out these “Layla” headphones by Frends.
These are much more up my alley! They look like jewelry and the leather ear cushions are made of memory foam, which sounds super comfortable. I’m seriously considering investing in these. I love the Rose Gold color, but it seems to be sold out everywhere so I’m happy to settle for silver. What do you think? Are jewelry-inspired headphones too much? AND, are these worth a $149 investment?
