Look of the Day- Hot in the City

It's been in the upper 90s (feeling like over 105) all week long here in NYC. I think I'm starting to lose my mind! Been sitting indoors because I just can't handle the heat...and I have started to go stir crazy! Well, the good news is that today they are calling for some storms so it will cool off a bit. THANK GOODNESS!

When it is this hot outside dressing chic can be quite a challenge. Don't you agree? So I say, KEEP IT SIMPLE! And nothing gets more simple than a romper. It's cuter than denim shorts, and way more comfy than a dress. If you have bad hair in weather like this (like I do), I suggest throwing on an adorable floppy hat and you are good to go!

Do you have any fun plans for your Saturday? Or will you be sitting up close to your air conditioner all day like me? One thing that my husband and I are looking forward to this afternoon is watching Sharknado! HAHA! I DVRed it the other night...and thought it would be a hilarious way to spend an afternoon.

STAY COOL! xoxoxo

Photo Coverage: Etsy Event for Vintage Sellers

Earlier this week I got a phone call from my friend Sammy of Sammy Davis Vintage. She asked me if I'd be interested in photographing an event (The Secrets of SEO for Vintage Sellers) that she was co-hosting along with her friend Simone at the Etsy Labs in Brooklyn. Of course I said yes! Taking photos of some fabulous vintage styles, meeting nice people (vintage sellers and Etsy team members), trying out my new flash, and shooting my first event...this sounded like a perfect Wednesday night to me.

I wanted to share a few of the photos from the other night with you all. I also have a few more posted on my website and my Facebook page. So be sure to follow along there as well!

 

I used to shop vintage all the time...especially in high school. I used to find the most adorable pieces in the vintage shops of downtown Lancaster, PA and my favorite spot in Mechanicsburg, PA called Fairy Godmothers. Lately, I just haven't had the time to shop vintage. You really do need to take the time to find those special pieces. But after this workshop I definitely have the itch to start shopping vintage again!

If you are looking for someone to cover your next event, please let me know!!!


P.S. For all of the vintage sellers that were at the event- I have all of the images in a secure file on my photography website. If you don't have the password be sure to ask me or Sammy.

Beach Blanket Bingo

It seems like lately all I have been doing is dreaming of having a swimming pool, talking about the heatwave, and dripping in sweat. Even on this blog, every post seems to revolve around me talking about just how hot it is outside. I just can't help it. Every day this week the heat index has the temperatures flying well over 100 degrees...and I know the majority of the country is suffering too. So, I thought right now would be a great time to talk about swimwear. I know that personally I need to buy a new bathing suit. But, since I don't go to the local beaches, do not have a trip to the Caribbean planned, and do not have a swimming pool...I guess I really don't need one. Do I???

Here are some great swimsuits that I know all of you beach bunnies are going to love as much as I do---

Polka Dot Bikini available at Forever 21- $10.80 (top), $9.80 (bottoms)

Spot Tie Front Swimsuit available at ASOS- $42.43
