When I went back to New Hampshire a few weeks ago, I was perusing basil at the farmer's market when someone working there asked where I lived. When I told him New York City, he said "So you probably don't even have a back yard, right?". I laughed and explained that I don't even have a balcony and that my fire escape is my closest thing to a garden.
I've only recently really discovered how important it really is to take care of my skin in the sun. Although I love a solid summer glow, I now know that I really have to watch it, especially with my face. I'm definitely trying to avoid both wrinkles and skin cancer completely! That being said, I still love a good beach day, so I take precautions like wearing a hat and sunglasses while still sunning my body (covered in SPF 30 of course).
I love how a simple maxi dress can look so chic with almost no effort at all. I went a little crazy this weekend buying a few for the hot summer days to come. This dress and the others in my maxi collection are the only logical option for me on those hot, humid, 95+ degree days in New York City.
