Michael Kors Beaded Collar Top, leather belt custom made by my friend Antworks, Lacey Beach Shorts by Shopgrl, KORS Rattan Wedge (similar here), Dark Brown Straw Clutch, Earrings F21, Bracelet from a shop in Florida, Michael Kors Madison Sunglasses

This past Saturday was perfect in New York; wonderful weather highlighted by brunch, a stroll along the water front, and a trip to the flea market (my new favorite place to be on the weekend).  Some weekends I live in my yoga clothes in between Bikram classes, while others I love to step it up a notch and this past Saturday was one of those days! I was so excited to wear my new Lacey Beach Shorts from Shopgrl that my entire outfit was planned around them.  I knew I wanted this look to be neutral but with texture and my white beaded collar top was the perfect compliment, with the added belt.

I love the way this whole look dresses up the shorts making it perfectly acceptable for a weekend brunch or a day at the office (if you work in a creative environment like I do).  Strolling around the flea last weekend in this outfit I got so many compliments, one lady even unofficially named me the "it girl" of LIC.  Hey, I'll take it ;)
