Colored in Coral

I decided to dress in color and it was funny because everyone on the Upper East Side seemed to be wearing the gray-scale and completely casual. Sometimes it is not so bad to stand out, and wearing this ModCloth.com dress was a bold move of mine. If you are going to wear color you better be prepared to wear it with confidence. That I did as I sipped my delightful champagne and ate at the outdoor seating of a french restaurant.

Outfit for Mid Afternoon Lunch at Jones Wood Foundry

 

Well today was just a lovely afternoon as I celebrated yet another friend’s Aries birthday. The restaurant Jones Wood Foundry is a lovely wine and beer bar on the Upper East Side with a beautiful restaurant in the back which has multiple rooms with different character feel in each. We were one of the first to be sitting in the outdoor seating since it finally just started to get warmer. We had Sancerre, the Fish n Chips and the Salmon Burger. I’m wearing a Vince white blazer, and H&M Blue Dress and MIA snakeskin heels which I think are a fabulous design.

Season Transitional Outfit with Bodega Fruits & Fashion

I feel this is the perfect transitional outfit from this past ridiculously long winter to this warming up spring time. Showing a little leg and mixing light and dark is the way you can do this. As the temperature rises, the hemlines go up, toes will break out, and necklines swoop. Till then, I wear a light weight and color turtleneck, a slit light and dark skirt, and booties that give a peak of skin to make a statement “It’s not winter anymore”. My bag is italian leather and actually purchased on a cart vendor in the South Street Seaport in lower Manhattan. I recommend going shopping down in that area as the weather starts to get better and better.

A visit to Le Train Bleu: The Dining Car Restaurant inside Bloomingdales

This hidden gem of a restaurant is located on the 6th floor of Bloomingdales at 1000 3rd Avenue off of Madison ave. My friend Sandra has a fashion blog SandraManay.com and we went to Parsons together. We decided this would be a great spot to have delicious and traditional Croque-monsieur and Mussels in white wine sauce. Sandra and I talked about blogging and our love for fashion. The sunglasses I am wearing are now my favorite pair of sunglasses thanks to this lovely company JPLUS, an italian brand that has quite unique shapes and styles.
