the summertime girls got it going on

Summertime and rooftops are New York at some of its best points. Nothing beats the view from the top of a building, and nothing is better then sipping cocktails in the summer sun getting a tan. I recently spent part of a gorgeous afternoon at 230 Fifth - enjoying the view and good company, all while taking in some great scenes of summer. I can't imagine a bluer sky, and I highly recommend ordering a raspberry mojito to keep cool and fresh in the heat.

Ever find one of those tops that you know you are going to wear as often as possible? I happened to find this great neutral sweater at Banana Republic while shopping in Newport last month, and I love to wear it at every possible chance. I like pairing this sweater with the subtle stripes with gold jewelry and black skinny pants, which can look great at both work and out on a date. It's light enough for wearing all summer long, even with the long sleeves.

I’m ready to play today

 

Baseball is truly America’s pastime and I finally crossed a trip to Citifield off my NYC bucket list (last year I made it to Yankee Stadium at the very end of baseball season, so far doing better on my list of things to do in New York this summer).  The seats could not have been any better for a pale girl like me, right under the awning near right field, and very conveniently located near the bar and the ladies room.  One of my favorite parts had to be that one of the Mets' songs for when he got up to bat was "Call Me Maybe" - which is just really funny, and well very ironic for a grown man to get psyched up to. It was definitely a fun way to spend a day, and I would go back in a heartbeat.

Friday, I'm in love

All week long I’ve thought it was a day ahead of where it actually was – I must have just wanted to get to the weekend that badly.  Well in truth I have been looking forward to this weekend for a while, after a few tries to get out of town, one of my best friends is coming to visit me for the weekend. Lots of fun is planned and the weather is supposed to cooperate (hear that rain- I’ll see you on Tuesday!). I plan on spending lots of time in the city – going to the Highline, checking out Central Park, and of course the nightlife. I might need a vacation from my weekend when all is said and done. What’s on your agenda?
