If you asked me 10 years ago if wearing fur in the Summer was the right move, I would have looked at you like you had french fries sticking out of you ears. Just like the pieces featured in this look, strategically placed fur can add some unexpected texture to your Spring/Summer looks. No one is at all suggesting a fur coat but fur accessories are definitely the move to keep you cool while you’re looking cool. I’ve seen some very cute sequin embellished crop tops and shorts that you’ll definitely want to werk all year round.

The bike didn’t just magically appear in front of the Brooklyn Bridge on the first real Spring day of the Season. Where We (I) Messed Up The women at the bike rental shop tells me that getting the bike over to the Brooklyn Bridge Park where I wanted to take the photos was pretty easy to accomplish. I pay for my bike and head off with the map that was given to me to RIDE THIS BIKE across the Brooklyn Bridge. I haven’t been on a bike in a little over four years and I’m trying to get my balance together while pushing through the entire population of New York on the Brooklyn Bridge.

There’s no time to turn back and I’ll just have to keep my arms down for the rest of the day which is probably the worst thing that you can do! I know myself, she, me and her won’t last all day and that’s usually how I end up with 14 travel sized containers of deodorant. So, in order to reduce my chances of panic, I’ve been making deodorant one of my key staple items in my bag….SWAG. Unikko sweatshirt c/o Marimekko – Sold here Miss Selfridge Patent Leather Paper bag

I’ve been so ready for Spring to happen that I’ve started dressing for the Season that I want. One woman on the train asked to take a photo of me for her blog, random people would just look at me a smile, another woman walked up to me and told me that she just really enjoyed the look and to stay blessed, two women in the grocery store wanted to make sure that they paid me a compliment because we don’t do it enough.
