Summer Whites
Those of you that know me and/or follow along here, know that I basically live in black (actually, I’m wearing a black tank dress right now). What I’m lacking in my summer wardrobe, however, is white. I found that the pieces I do have are either so crisp that I can’t bear the thought of wearing them down into the subway on a gross hot/humid summer day or are dramatic and not really meant for frequent wear. I need to stock up on a few basics and work those into my day-to-day because white really is more light and airy in this crazy heat. A cute little white dress won’t hurt either, it would basically be the solution to the problem of what to wear for every brunch, lunch and even summer dinner.

Fringe and a Bandana
This whole look is basically just a shameless combination of all of my favorite things including black, fringe, comfortable shoes and bandanas. I even dusted off the o’l felt hat, which is a first for me in the summer because I always look at editorials and ads and call bullshit. I figure if it’s hot enough to wear the tank top or the little dress then it’s definitely too hot for a FELT HAT. However, I sort of fell into the perfect weather for this look yesterday and I think the key is for it to be warm outside but not humid, which is a rare thing here in New York.

Weekend Vibes
Boho chic doesn’t have to mean earthy or frumpy. Free People ads or Pinterest can definitely make you think of it like that, and it’s ok; but there are ways to elevate the style and take it to the next level. I like to think of it in a more glamorous way, more like haute boho with jewel tones and more of a 70’s glamour influence rather than flower-child. Rainy weekends like this one, when you stay in with good wine and good food, are the perfect excuse to bust out something special or mix pieces that you wouldn’t normally wear together for an extra special effect.

Kyoto Photo Diary (pt.2)
Like I said before, Kyoto was like stepping into a magical land where everything is beautiful, and also kind of in the past. After visiting so many insane temples and gardens, you just kind of start to go numb and stop outwardly freaking the way you did for the first few, especially when you’re so tired you can’t even see straight. Kyoto is seriously quaint, and there really aren’t many big, shiny hotels like in other cities, although there are more under construction that will open in the next few years. Without too much to choose from, we stayed at the Hyatt Regency, which turned out to be awesome. This was the second hotel (after the Park Hyatt Tokyo) where I was greeted with a bouquet of flowers from the front desk. We had an amazing corner suite,E but the hotel was so overbooked that they could only give us a room with two beds. After several apologies, they sent up some people to push the beds together, which I thought was hilarious because when we got upstairs, each bed was definitely bigger than a queen. After about a half-hour of work, the two guys were done “pushing the beds together” and we went back into the bedroom to find the most gigantic bed we had ever seen. It was basically two king-sized beds made into one and, in true Japanese form, they made the bed so perfectly that we couldn’t feel the crack between the two beds. I have no idea how they did it, but it was flawless.
You would think with so many zen gardens and Buddhist temples that we would be relatively calm in Kyoto… that would be normal, but that was not the case. As usual, we had a lot to see in limited time and we both get insane cases of FoMo if we don’t get to see everything we’ve deemed to be important in a city. I was literally dragging my tired ass around, and I was definitely reflecting that, as well as the laid back vibe of the city in general, in the way I was dressing. I sort of gave up, and it felt so good. I stuck to the most basic and comfortable clothes I had with me, and covered it all up with a giant green tent of a windbreaker. Boom.
