Brooklyn Bound

Saturday was filled with chocolate sampling (at The Mast Brother’s Chocolatier) and Junk store raiding as I hung out with great company in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I gained a new appreciation for quality and gourmet chocolate and scored some great vintage finds, a dark red rabbit fur coat for one, with my first ever vegan lunch experience thrown in too.

Having been in New York for 2 months now, I can safely draw some style conclusions. They tend wear a lot of black, heels on the side walk and gravitate to more tailored, drapery pieces. Most have a statement bag. This is a good look but it gets boring when you see it on hundreds of people every day. At the moment I’m really into necklaces layered under shirt collars. I don’t think I can could every fully do minimalist chic all the time but I love a plain buttoned up shirt. It’s so formal and elegant. I’ve worn the three necklaces above this week under my shirt collars. I found the rose gold collar in a store in the subway-  a new direction for my love of gold. More soon.
