Alexander Wang Cobalt Blue Pants and Neon Yellow Joie Blouse

IMG_7414

So I just love this outfit for summertime, especially for the office. It’s so hot outside that you can just throw on a sweater or blazer for that freezing air condition. I paired a neon yellow Joie blouse with cobalt blue silk Alexander Wang pants for a bright summer look. Of course, I’ve been wearing my neon yellow pumps (similar and on sale here) to add another pop of color to the outfit.

Perfect for summer!

Pink Plaid Cutout Dress

I’m just loving plaid for Fall 2015. Since it’s still really hot this plaid cutout dress makes the perfect transition from summer to fall. I wore it with a simple purple clutch. I got it from a small shop in Soho and it’s no longer on the market but you should definitely check out this Alexander McQueen plaid dress, Rag & Bone jeans,  and Equipment shirtdress.

New Furry Fall Finds

So I stumbled upon a few new furry fall finds. I can’t believe summer is almost over, can you? Well, we only have a month or so and September and that cool breeze will be back before you know it. Time is racing!

Anyway, I am really into this new Stella Jean faux fur vest. It looks like the perfect throw over to beat the breeze in the fall.

I’m also really into these Pierre Hardy purple leather, fur and snakeskin sneakers. They are a great way to make a major street style statement.

The other day I wore my favorite ‘racer’ dress that is perfect for summer along with my grey Lanvin sneakers (similar gunmetal sneakers here) and grey Alexander Wang handbag. We found this amazing graffiti wall in Harlem. I just love graffiti, is it still illegal?

Summer Casual: African Print Jumper at the MTV VMAs 2013 Song of the Summer Celebration with Jason Derulo and Timeflies

This week I attended one of the MTV VMA Song of Summer Celebration Concerts with Jason Derulo and Timeflies at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. Summer casual was the name of the game as the summer heat made its way ‘back’ to the city. I did my favorite Bebe African Print jumper and Christian Louboutin metallic heels and it was great because it was really hot out!

I met stylists and photographers Rachel and Nicole. Rachel was wearing this great Topshop Motel Skirt I’ve seen everywhere. Anyway, MTV has been doing these concerts all through the week with celebrities like Ciara and Robin Thicke. Are you excited for the VMAs?

Last Dog Days of Summer: Natural on the Beach in Singer Island

MalindaSingerIsland

This past weekend I spent time with loved ones in my home state of Florida. I got some work done and some play too. The beach was gorgeous. I opted for a completely no-fuss natural look to enjoy the last dog days of summer. It’s always great to visit your hometown and feed your spirit with the love of family. I hope you’re soaking up some of the last rays of summer too and had a great weekend.

For last-minute bikinis on sale, check out Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale ending today or my Summer is in the Air Collection on Lyst here.

Montauk Beach House Pool Party and Milly Resort 2014 Fashion Presentation

DSC00388

Last weekend I got plenty of sun in the nearly 100 degree weather at the Montauk Beach House. Michelle Smith showed her Milly Resort 2014 Collection in a beautiful fashion presentation by the pool, part of a summer-long music and fashion series hosted by the Montauk Beach House. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and last weekend, I was on the beach or by the pool for 80% of the time!

Singer-songwriter Natalia Kills performed and we enjoyed great drinks and music all Saturday afternoon. I just loved the bright, bold colors in the collection, not to mention that much of it looked really comfortable. Artwork seemed to influence Milly as some of the fabric seemed painted like that on the model above. Crop tops kept cropping up in Milly’s Resort 2014 Collection as well. I don’t think they’re going anywhere.

I wore a pink neon Eres itty-bitty bikini along with an exclusive purple hat from couture milliner Ellen Christine’s Spring 2014 Collection. By the way, if you want a couture hat of your own, she’s giving a 10% discount to blog readers. Just call her showroom and mention the blog.

While there I met a few from the Milly team, spotted some great poolside fashion and ran into Cannon Hodge of Bergdorf Goodman. She and her friend were wearing amazing kaftans from Camilla Franks that should be available at Bergdorfs in a few months. She showed me that this particular kaftan could be tied multiple ways for a causal or dressy look. Looks like it will be available soon at BG for about $500 or so.

Milly’s collection isn’t quite available yet but for some of the looks here, check out my Summer is in the Air Collection or Shopbop’s Best of Summer 2013.

Midsummer Night Maxi Dress Under The Trees at Southampton Social Club with Oros Music

IMG_4017

Sleeping on lawn chairs, roasting marshmallows, laying out on the beach. Yes, it’s that time of year folks. Summer is in high swing and if you haven’t taken a vacation yet, you should.

I had a great time frolicking in the Hamptons this past weekend. Everyone wore their favorite summer dresses and latest bikinis. And I loved hanging out at Southampton Social Club under the stars in my favorite maxi dress this past weekend with Gabriella and Lidiya Oros of Oros Music. We had perfect weather and all I needed was a hammock to complete the night!

Good times.

Sincerely Yours,
