Summer in the City

Hiya! I'm featuring one of my favorite Pittsburgh shops again today, Mid-Atlantic Mercantile. I was home just last weekend and stopped in to see if they had any sales and sure enough they did! I picked up the most comfortable pants from designer ace & jig. They are perfect for hot summer days like today. What I love about Mid-Atlantic Mercantile is their well-curated collection and strong purpose to bring quality goods to the Pittsburgh region. They work intimately with both emerging and established independent designers with a focus on ethical sourcing and sustainable manufacturing practices. If you're in the Lawrencevile hood, you have to check them out!

This is also the first time I'm debuting my new Clare Vivier clutch. Last time I was in LA, I stopped by the West Hollywood store and spent an hour trying to decide which beautiful handbag to call my own. The funny thing is that while I was pacing the store, there was a SAMPLE SALE going on just a few minutes away! I sadly missed the opportunity to score sooo many goodies, but of course my husband was happy to dodge this bullet. Despite his disapproval of the fanny pack, I already have my heart set on this one too!

Every summer, my life gets busier and busier and there's only one way I know how to relax - kicking it back at home in Brooklyn wearing basically an outfit that could be confused for PJs. We took these photos a few weeks after our trip to the Philippines (pics coming soon) and at this time, I was all about the island life. I still think I'm all about the island life.
