J'aime la vie. I love life. In honor of Paris Fashion Week, I found it fitting to highlight this French phrase that packs a punch. No matter what life swings at me, fashion always brings me back to being me. There's something about going out on a limb and pushing your style to the limits that puts a pep in your step.

This was one of my favorite looks I put together during NYFW: a sporty crop top, classic blazer, "mom" jeans, pop color shoes, and the J'aime la vie clutch. It was just the outfit that gave me that "I love life" fashion feel. It's a conglomeration of many different styles but results in a cool and fun streetstyle look. Check out the links above to shop the look and me jamming in this outfit HERE.

The Hamptons can be such a great people watching town... you never know who you will see. The first time I went I almost walked into Stanley Tucci and spotted Barbara Walters brunching. This year, it was Kelly Ripa. We were shooting along this little sidewalk and she walks right on by with the fam. Just as beautiful in person.

But anyways, to clothes. I snagged this number at Patricia Field's during the same shopping trip for the polkadot romper and the 80s jean jacket. Such epic finds there! I love the silhouette of this dress. It's so flattering for various shapes and sizes, and the colors are perfect for summer! This would be a great outfit for any summer event or a BBQ in the Hamptons perhaps ;)
