I mentioned a few days ago that I was Cheyenne Meets Chanel's new intern.  As her intern, I get to help her research and write videos that she posts on her Qwiki channel- which is SO much fun!  Check out the first video on the White on White trend- it hit the runways and the summer 2012 season hard.  I mixed up this trend Harper's Bazaar style- showcasing the black and white's in my closet with my go-to summer handbag.

Memorial Day Weekend

{sunnies: Urban Outfitters, Dress: boutique in Italy, Belt: J.Crew, Shoes: DV, Bag: YSL}

Memorial Day weekend was filled with sweets, beach time with the family, window shopping, and amazing meals.  I indulged in some serious Japanese cuisine, discovered a dairy-free ice cream parlor, and finished it off with a hummus-filled dinner.  It was the perfect way to jumpstart a fabulous three day weekend!

tea parties with iris

 If you could have a tea party with one person- who would you choose?  As I pondered this question, I immediately thought of Kate Spade's recent blog post on Iris Apfel visiting their NY offices.  Not only  is she a fashionista from my home state of Wisconsin, but Apfel is also a style icon that has influenced the fashion industry tremendously over the years.  If we could take away anything from Iris- it's to pile on the jewelry (hello, arm party), contrast colors, and not be afraid to rock a print. All hail the gorgeous Iris!

dancing in the subway

 Adjusting to subways, New York City traffic, and this rainy week was difficult at first, (first time on the subway to the upper east side took a cool hour and a half...I now do it in fifteen minutes) but I've embraced every single aspect.  A subway ride means people watching, quality iPod time, and fast transportation. Traffic forces you to walk everywhere, so between exploring the city and the fifth floor walk-up...it equals major exercise points. Lastly, the rainy days have taught me how to sprint in platforms and enjoy this romantic city with a cup of coffee. 

P.S. A little piece of news- Shea Marie from Cheyenne Meets Chanel has hired me as her intern!  I'm so excited to learn from a huge influence in not only the fashion industry, but in the blogging world as well.  She's fabulous!
