Biking with Topshop

The Crew aka Fash Mob
What’s better than a bunch of b*tches cruising around on bikes in Soho? B*tches dressed in Topshop cruising around on polka dot bikes in Soho (and Astor Place for a hot toddy second).
Over the past few weekends I was put a soul cycling mission to scour the streets of NYC for fashionable ladies worthy of a Topshop gift card, street style snaps, and a style star ribbon from my very own bike basket. With Topshop and a group of pretty pedalers by my side, we created the ultimate Fash Mob that had tourists flocking, dudes drooling, and taxi cabs honking with every ring of our bell. So basically what happens when Justin Bieber comes to town…or Obama, depending on your interests…
I had the pleasure of meeting a few of you while out on my two wheeler bicycle, which is always such a delight — even though I was seriously sweaty (biking around in 90+ degrees? Sorry I’m not sorry).
And while I’m happy to trade in the sweat for a Saturday spent snuggling up to my AC, I’m going to miss hopping on my polka dot speed demon to search the streets for stylish pavement strutters (read: not hookers) amidst the typical white socked, sneaker clad, visor wearing tourists.


Shwing! Check out those style stars!

Cue intense motorcycle “vroom vroom” sounds




What a crew!

Until next time…
A Week in Review

{ Warding off the heat with lots of popsicles }
My week started off with the flu and ended with an exciting new project that kicks off this weekend. Just goes to show that a crappy week can turn great in a matter of moments.
Tonight I’m meeting up with friends to have dinner and watch the Opening Ceremonies, and tomorrow I’ll be out in Soho shooting for part of the day. Let’s hope I can keep Sunday plan free, but the likelihood of that happening is slim to none and quite frankly, I don’t mind a bit!

I’m A Little Teapot

Here’s a little fact about me: I have a tendency to overheat. Often, when most people are cold, I am a steaming hot teapot ready to explode. On Christmas morning about two years ago I got so hot sitting in the kitchen that my Mom put me outside to “cool off”…it worked, but I felt a little like a dog being told to “go outside.” Woof. Suffice it to say, it sucks most of the time with the exception of fall and winter – the seasons that allow me to bounce around outside without breaking a sweat and can layer as much as I damn well please!
The look you see here is a case-in-point, multi-layered outfit – that’s five layers people – that I put together for a day of Christmas shopping in Soho. I wore this with the intention of not having to fuss over a big, lumpy jacket every time I overheated while still being warm enough to not regret not bringing one. Well, the outfit was a success! Not once did I overheat nor did I shiver when a crisp wind blew past me. As much as I love coats, this may be the new way to go for busy days filled with errands.
