Shifty

Remember when I tweeted that I accidentally wore a leather dress during the heat wave? Well, this was that. Thankfully I didn’t have a “Ross Moment!” After work, I was headed to The Jimmy at the James Hotel in Soho for a sunset soiree with Sydne from Sydne Style and Capwell + Co.

Everyone was googly-eyed over the gorgeous baubles and the sunset views from the rooftop patio. Seriously, go check out all of the pretty jewels! Some of my favorites are this rope necklace, this multi-strand sparkler, this pendant, these classic bangles, and this rose gold glitzy ring.

    You look stunning in that little leather dress! The statement necklace is amazing, perfect for a summer touch, I remember Sydne posting about the soiree, seems like you all looked so gorgeous at the event!

    How do you keep your hair to stay in the heat/humidity?! I live in California where there is minimal humidity and the second I step outside it goes flat!
