Celebrating Labor Day in paisley! This dress was perfect for walking through the fields by the Beacon NY waterfront. The dress comes with a yellow slip underneath that helps the paisley print stand out. The yellow paisley print has sold out, but it's still available in blush. The polka dot print is also a lot of fun.

NYC has been reminding us that summer is not over with hot and humid days. This affordable romper was just light and airy enough to take on the summer night. I adore the ruffle hem and the crochet waist. It can also be dressed up or down very easily.

This dress literally has me tickled pink. The color, the back bow and the pockets are all my favorite things. And to top it off it's super comfortable too. The perfect dress for twirling! It's available in a ton of colors so if pink is not your color- I'm sure you can find one that you like.

The latest interactive pop up experience in NYC is a candy filled wonderland. Candytopia feels like the sweet version of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. I was fascinated by the art made out of thousands of jelly beans and gummy bars and the flying unicorn pigs. This is a really fun experience and only runs through November 15th!

Walking through Harlem, you can hear, smell and feel the incredible energy of the neighborhood. Its cultural heritage is rich with music, art and literature. To take a stroll through the neighborhood, I wore one of my new pants that I'll use later to transition to fall. Wear them with a red cami now and then switch to a black turtleneck later for cooler fall temperatures.

Pink elephants and giraffes and flamingos, oh my! The print on this dress with the white trim detail is everything! On a hot summer day, this dress kept me cool while visiting the new Domino Park in Brooklyn. I've also been using these wired headbands to help alleviate the heat. They are available in a ton of prints and colors- an easy way to try to look cute while the temperatures continue on the ride.

I think women either love or hate playsuits. They are easy to throw on and a nice alternative to a dress, but going to the bathroom can be a hassle. I thought this navy playsuit was cute but simple and could easily go from day to night. Couldn't beat the price either! I added pops of red to brighten the outfit.

The heat finally broke in NYC and we had one of the most beautiful summer nights we have had in a while. To enjoy the amazing evening, I went out in my favorite color. I love the fact that this silk midi skirt comes with a red slip underneath- perfect for breezy nights. This top is so versatile that I bought it in both red and white. Hope the weather stays like this through the weekend!

It's no secret that rosé is THE drink of the summer so I was really excited when the Rosé Mansion finally opened up in NYC. This is my dream home! Filled with all things rosé and swinging chandeliers, this is a fun way to kick off a night out. With 8 sample of rosé from all over the world, I definitely came out with new favorites!

To visit the stunning Red Rocks Park & Amphitheater, I wore this linen jumpsuit by Carolina K with beautiful embroidery along the front and an unexpected bow back. Carolina K uses unique embroidered prints made by artisans from Mexico, Peru and India. The front colorful detail of the jumpsuit felt just right for walking in Red Rocks Park with its strong Native American past. Unfortunately, I was not able to catch a show at the Amphitheater but am definitely making a point to return soon to hear the amazing acoustics.

Sometimes figuring out what to wear to a wedding can be challenging. Although I like standing out in a crowd, I never want to outshine the bride. I thought this flirty pink dress was the perfect choice for a simple and intimate wedding. It has the sweetest details like the bows at the end of the back straps and the ruffled hem. The color also pops and captures the essence of summer.

Summer in the City means picnics in its beautiful parks, outdoor concerts and a lot of rosé! Pinknic manages to turn all these things into one fabulous event on Governor's Island. In a sea of pink and white, I wore this floral applique dress that I paired with flat sandals to be able to dance comfortably on the green lawn, but I would easily pair with heels for a night out. Just FYI- I did remove the white slip and tulle the dress came with for a short pink tutu- a very easy swap for a more fun look.

Ice cream season is here and I could not be more excited! As soon as I heard the Museum of Ice Cream was finally creating its own line of ice cream and opening a pop up store in NYC, I knew it was something I could not miss. I experienced the Tasting Room at The Pint Shop and, seriously, all the original flavors are divine. I couldn't help but take a few pints home and plan on coming back for more. Check it out if you can!

The "Happy-Go-Lucky" exhibit in SoHo is designed to make New Yorkers get happy. In this fast-paced, intense city, sometimes we need to be forced to take a step back and forget about the daily grind. This exhibit helps just do that. To enjoy the exhibit, I wore this comfortable knit matching set with these red platform sandals. This would also make a great outfit for the Fourth of July!

Once Medellin's most dangerous neighborhood, Comuna 13 is now filled with hope, vibrant street art and positive vibes. The graffiti art in the neighborhood communicates not only stories of its violent past, but also optimism for a peaceful and happy future. Taking a tour guided by one of Comuna 13's residents provided a unique insight to the area that would not be possible otherwise. The strength and resilience of Comuna 13 reminds us that it is important that we do not forget the past, but we must always look forward to a better future. If you are in Medellin, this tour is an absolute must!
The Puente de Occidente (or Bridge of the West) is a beautiful suspension bridge from 1895 in the colonial town of Santa Fe de Antioquia in Colombia. Walking across the wooden pedestrian path and over the Cauca River transports one back in time. One of the most curious facts about this bridge is that the Colombian engineer responsible for its construction also worked on the Brooklyn Bridge and applied his leanings from there to this amazing bridge. Santa Fe de Antioquia is about 1.5 hours from Medellin and a definite must see!

In the city of eternal spring, the blue skies were the perfect compliment to this blue dress, which I think has to be my absolute favorite buy this season! The bohemian print and the tassel cuffs are so much fun- perfect for memorable summer nights. PS- the views of Medellin from these lookout points in the moutains are stunning!
