MIXING BLACK AND NAVY

J.Crew schoolboy blazer  //  J.Crew bangle  // Elizabeth & James pointed pumps

RED Valentino shorts  //  Ferragamo flats  //  By Malene Birger dress

Oh, New York, you're rubbing off on me. Everywhere I look — even in the dead of summer — everyone is wearing black. I'm far from relinquishing my beloved navy (far, far, far from it) but I've decided mixing black and navy is a good way to step up my New York game this fall. Shop the slideshow below for more navy and black picks:

SAILING NANTUCKET

One of the highlights of my last trip to Nantucket was a sailboat ride around the sound with thirteen of my siblings, cousins, and friends (recognize Amy, Carly, Emily, and Grayson?). Not only did I get to check off #39 on my 101 in 1001 list but we spent the most delightful hour and a half dangling our feet off the sides of the boat, sipping Prosecco and snacking on picnic foods, and trying not to let our cameras and phones fall overboard. I couldn't have asked for a better group and I'm so happy to have these photos to remember it by.

P.S. I wore this sweater (now on sale) and these jeans!

OUTFIT {JOIE DRESS}

J.Crew schoolboy blazer  //  Joie striped dress  //  Clare Vivier clutch  //  Shoes c/o SoleSociety

This outfit incorporates pretty much every one of my sartorial favorites: blazers, bows, navy blue, stripes... I could go on! I'm so excited for fall and couldn't resist pulling my tried-and-true schoolboy blazer out of my closet early. I'll be wearing it layered over a summery striped dress this month and over button-downs and sweaters in the cooler months to come. 

Remember when I contemplated this clutch in this post? I wound up choosing the navy (#shocker) and I've already worn it for my birthday dinner, date night, and a handful of occasions in between. The quality is killer. Oh and the shoes! I love a good pointed toe pump and the ladylike bow detail on this pair makes me giddy. The kicker? They're only $59.95 from SoleSociety. I mean... That's what we call a no-brainer.
