Good morning, Monday. Had a lovely if not humid weekend at home with hubs enjoying the city when it empties out Summer weekends. New York in the heat is not easy, but if you play it right you can enjoy it anyway by going to movies and taking it super slow. Lovely.
So yesterday I found myself in Nolita and popped into one of my favorite shops, Warm. Warm now does their own line of boho chic dresses in the manner of Ulla Johnson and Isabel Marant but somehow way more beachy keen. I love the store as it immediately evokes the very best of Summer- and they stock the coolest pieces for girls in search of that gypset dream. I want everything in there most every time I visit.
But I ended up buying not a $700 dress but a really cute pair of Slides by Vans, that ultimate Summer shoe brand. I love the classic checkered Van most of all, and these slides are a great way to not spend a ton of money but freshen up your Summer shoe game a bit- I for one have been wearing my white Birks all season and was ready for a little bit of a change. And the girls working in the shop were rocking these with long boho dresses and jumpsuits with patterns- somehow the contrast between the checkerboard and the boho prints was just so chic. I love a surfy vibe and with these little suckers costing 30 bucks, you kind of can't go wrong. And they're immediately comfortable. Love 'em.
Go get a pair here. You'll thank me- size down ps- I'm an 8 /12 and bought the 8 and they're perfect.
Cause that's what's up this endless Summer kind of Monday in the 718. Yours, in sandy classics. XO
