This NYC heatwave has me craving the beach, hopefully I can at least get to the pool while I take a quick weekend trip to South Florida. Leaving tonight to visit my parents and celebrate my best friend's (early) birthday! Follow me on Instagram here for some Florida adventures. Cheers to the weekend!

Back in NYC and back in this coat weather. Surprisingly, some light coat weather! No complaints here. Matt and I took these photos last weekend, after we ate the most delicious Sunday brunch at Mother's Ruin. Live music, a chill atmosphere, and probably one of the most delicious chicken and waffles I've ever had (east coast wise). For some other satisfying chicken and waffle options, try Maharlika in the East Village, Sweet Chick in LES or Willyburg or SoCo in Downtown Brooklyn. Then, shop and style the look below so you can easily hide your happy belly ;)

Happy last Monday of 2014!

Statement coats are the reason for the season and make getting up on a frigid morning a little bit easier. Statement coats--bright colors, plaid or tartan, structured menswear--the sky is the limit. They're so easy to throw on over whatever you're wearing and will make you look so effortlessly put together. I also say this about oversized sunglasses and good purse!

I passed by H&M on the way home from work yesterday (to take a peek at the Isabel Marant madness) and picked up an amazing plaid coat.. on sale! 

Stay tuned...
