New York City streets are truly like no other. So on lazy weekend days, Matt and I try to take the time to explore and photograph the amazing architecture around the city. I've been wanting to see Staple Street in Tribeca for quite some time, especially because its unique sky bridge. So much character in one alley way.

Overalls: Dolce Vita via Rue La La // Top: Urban Outfitters // Shoes: Rebecca Minkoff via Eva Gentry Consignment // Clutch: Michael Kors // Hat: Urban Outfitters // Sunglasses: Karen Walker 'Super Duper' // Jewelry: Bauble Bar, Capwell + Co, David Yurman // Lips: Clinique Chubby Stick 'Deep Berry' // Nails: Essie 'Blanc'

I believe in shopping karma and that good things come to those who wait. 

You know, like when you're out randomly consignment shopping and you stumble upon a pair of brand new, never been worn, leopard print Rebecca Minkoff 'Harlis' loafers that you've been eye-ing since the last, last year's sample sale but they ran out of your size in about five minutes because almost every woman in NYC is also a size 8? Oh  bless you, Eva Gentry Consignment and your 40% off summer sale. The retail stars were perfectly aligned that day for sure.

These photos were shot last week when Matt and I had dinner at an awesome soup dumping spot in Chinatown. Does the backdrop look familiar? Yes, fun fact! Justin Timberlake's music video 'Take Back the Night' was filmed here on Doyers Street, near (perhaps even inside) a bar you must try: Apotheke. As a pharmacist, I really do get excited about pharmacy/apothecary themed bars. Come on. What's not to love about bartenders in white coats serving up adult beverages that can remedy any ailment?

boho vibes

Dress: Zara (old, but similar here and here) // Sandals: Forever 21 // Sunglasses: Karen Walker 'Super Duper' // Headband: Zara (in another fun print here) // Necklace: Capwell + Co // Watch: Michael Kors (old, similar here) // Lips: MAC 'Red' // Nails: OPI 'Big Apple Red'

Maxi dresses are just so. darn. versatile. I scored this cut-out dress from last year's #zarasale and styled it for cooler weather here. The hot weather lately has got me in a boho mood, so I styled the maxi this time with a headwrap, gladiator sandals and gold accessories from my fav Capwell + Co. 

How are you styling your maxi dresses this summer?

The weekend is almost here and I have been super busy at work with our new pharmacy residents and graduation of our outgoing residents (Congratulations Class of 2014!). So naturally, I am reaching for some comfy-cozy outfits and shoes to run around in. This pair of kicks I was able to get on sale at a Nike outlet while in Florida. If you've never tried any of the FlyKnit sneakers, your feet are missing out. They're so lightweight and comfortable. I honestly can't run in anything else now. 

Speaking of running.. I'm off to Ohio (yes, Ohio) for a quick weekend trip to watch the On the Run tour with some of my bestest girlfriends. Photos definitely to come. Hope you have a great day!

Becca

Brooklyn Bridge Park, that is. Every time Matt and I take a walk over here, we always seem to discover something new.. new garden areas, parks, basketball courts, and even a small beach. I am amazed at the juxtaposition between the concrete buildings and beautiful greenery. I never want to move away from here!
