Reebok Lifestyle Classic Leather Sneakers
Zappos
New Yorkers love to walk.
This makes comfortable yet stylish sneakers a must-own.
The good news is there is always some form of sneaker trending to make it easy.

They’re also super versatile.
I’ve worn them with dresses, crop flare jeans, and leggings to head to Solidcore Pilates.
This pretty white tiered style is my new addition.
Zappos
The versatileCaslon maxi dressworks for everything from bridal showers to the office to picnics in Central Parks Sheep Meadow.
It also seamlessly pairs with white low-top sneakers, sandals, wedges, or heels.
Lululemons Everywhere belt bagis beloved for its sleekness, water-repellent material, and interior and exterior pockets.
Amazon
It’s such a popular and highly sought-after belt bag, the black version sells out often.
(But luckily, its still in stock right now.)
When the temperature heats up, I opt for a stylish flat sandal like Birdies new buckle-frontKiwi Sandals.
Nordstrom
But what I particularly love about these slides is how sleek and lightweight they are.
(Note: If you prefer a closed-toe flat, Birdie’ssuede loafersare a comfy go-to option).
Mejuri Tube Medium Hoops

We New Yorkers lead busy lives.

and decided to wear only gold huggie earrings.
And seriously, less is more here.
I always turn to Mejuri for jewelry options that are approachable in price and style.

Their simplemedium hoopsare always exactly what I am looking for, as are their twisted rings and personal necklaces.
Everlane Organic Cotton Box-Cut Tee
Everlane
We all know the beauty of a well-made tee.
Myfavorite tee is the Sno Cone from AYR, a New York-based label.
Birdies
I also loveAdays silky teesbecause their wrinkle-free fabric is great for running around the city and perfect for travel.
I am eyeing this oversizedlinen blazerfrom Nordstrom to add to my spring-summer rotation.
To take the look one step further, you might even add a matching short.
Amazon
Or for another variation, try snagging a blazer in another bright and playful color.
Beis Sport Duffle
BAIS
Living in the city, Im always on the go.
The bag has a spacious interior with zipper pockets that help me keep organized.
Mejuri
It can fit my laptop, sweaty activewear, water bottle, Nike cycling shoes, and more.
The roomy duffel is currently my travel bag of choice as well.
For anyone visiting New York City, this will be a handy bag to carry any souvenirs while shopping.
Everlane
Not only are they the softest pants I own, but they are also comfortable yet put together.
These days, you see wider leg shapes reminiscent of the 90s or further back.
Flare jeans, for example, are heavily embraced.
Nordstrom
Are you heading to Woodstock?
Sunglasses are needed year around in the city to keep the sun’s glare out of your eyes.
Skyscrapers might shade some rays, but they can also reflect them.
Nordstrom
Because although this city is super populated, it becomes small quickly.
I also love that the affordable price point allows me to do something out of my comfort zone.
Not only do they help us stick to our all-black aesthetic, but their versatility is vast.

It hugs my bust, which I love but gently flares out…
I feel very feminine and comfortable in this dress."
