PIER 17
Happy Friday!
Listen, New York City is opening up and I will be hear to document it all. I can feel it in the air. The energy! The people! It’s happening. It feels almost electric. I feel like I am shedding the winter air weight that had clinged on me like lint I couldn’t get off. Things feel a little lighter now in NYC.
Heavy winter months are fading away and sunny lighter months have strolled in an pulled a chair. On this day, lightness sat down and asked for a mimosa! We shot, had brunch and vibed. Pier 17, downtown Manhattan has been revamped and looks really beautiful. The perfect location for this shoot.
I have been really enjoying this weather and my baldie out. New York is opening up and I am beyond excited. I have sang about the joy of dressing up and since that is the mantra, a utilitarian vibe what this calls for. I spotted utilitarian trends over on the interwebs after the Spring Sumer Fashion shows last year. School has me researching trend reports and I can confess am enjoying every minute of it. Product development has a whole new meaning for me. I am currently obsessed with blazers because they go with anything an everything. Now that I have stowed away the hoodie, hello blazer. This post makes it the third post with a blazer look and it makes me so happy! Blazer baby what’s good!
The dress is from Marisa Web, she is huge on all things utilitarian and I love her spin on it. I paired with a Ralph Blazer that had been staring at me for the longest. It brought about an interesting contrast paired with a dress. White trainer will always be it for me. The go with everything. I am actually officially adding them to my list of classics. With that said, I guess it’s time to do a classics list. Perhaps on the next post.
Oh man, I can’t tell you how wonderful it feels to be back jotting on this space of mine. It gives me so much joy. Writing a post and editing is the final step before releasing this idea born out of a love of fashion and art. Once I hit publish, we are off to another adventure. A constant cycle from ideation to completion and I had missed that so much. This week has been heavy as I was reminded of the loss of my dear brother three years ago. April 26th 2018 changed my life. The blog hasn’t been the same since. To be back to this space that he too contributed and is forever going to be part of is something I will treasure.
We are back to creating, dreaming, and living the very best life!
I am passing this vibrant energy to you. I hope you find that which fires up your soul and you keep doing what brings you joy. I saw a tweet that said, “ No one is supposed to understand your calling. It wasn’t a conference call.”
Do you! 😊
