Today is an exciting day! After nearly six months of work - dreaming, conceptualizing, researching, writing, photographing, creating and baking a new venture has been born and I cannot wait to share it with you all. Today it is with utter excitement that I introduce you to <i>Rose & Ivy</i>, a new quarterly lifestyle journal that has been my 'secret' project for far too long. Please visit the site <a href="http://www.roseandivyjournal.com/" target="_blank">here</a> and read the journal <a href="http://www.roseandivyjournal.com/read-me-1/" target="_blank">here</a>! Today I am over on Victoria's blog talking about the journal, please click <a href="http://victoriamcginley.com/blog/" target="_blank">here</a> to find out more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to thank everyone that has been reading <i>Heart of Gold</i> for almost four years, I have grown so much on this site. I recently looked back at <a href="http://heartofgoldandluxury.blogspot.com/2011/09/welcome-to-brooklyn.html" target="_blank">my first post</a>, gasp it was awful! Regardless I am very lucky to have called this little nook of the internet my own during a time when I was trying to find my creative voice. It is with mixed emotions that I am saying goodbye to this site and hello to a new one. I would love it if you would follow along on the new adventure at the <i>Rose & Ivy</i> <a href="http://www.roseandivyjournal.com/blog/" target="_blank">blog</a> which will be updated daily in addition to quarterly journals that will be launching every four months on-line. </div>

I love discovering new brands and during fashion month I discovered a whole new crop of them. One of my favorites that I discovered was Pedro del Hierro Madrid a Spanish brand that is giving stores like Mango a run for their money. Here are some of my favorite looks from the Spring 2015 collection that was inspired by Slim Aarons photographs from the 70's. </div>

I hope that everyone had a great weekend! Burgundy, maroon, oxblood, whatever you want to call this saturated hue it is one of my favorites for fall. When I spotted this head to toe look on Olivia Palermo in Paris, it was a look that I definitely want to try. Here are some of my favorite pieces to achieve this look. I hope that everyone has a great week!</div>

The Seventies are back and better than ever - the feathered hair, beige lips and high collars are a key trend for Fall and have even carried over for Spring 2015 (<i>did you see the <a href="http://www.style.com/fashion-shows/spring-2015-ready-to-wear/louis-vuitton/" target="_blank">Louis Vuitton</a> show?</i>). This editorial featuring Lily Donaldson in the October issue of <i>Harper's Bazaar Korea</i> sums up a more modern version of this era. </div>

And just like that Spring 2015 is a wrap. Paris brought forth a plethora of key trends, many of which were carried over from New York, London and Milan. There were new interpretations of femininity from eyelets to denim and a sportier point of view where swimwear served as tops paired with pants and skirts. Décolleté was on full display where many designers sent looks down the runway with low cut tops and dresses. Here are some of my favorite looks and trends from Paris. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE6saMgX-y9ADcgkQrLFDjMDDvu-dW2Y-9LWdoikb2hCrWaa3wLTbJqDH-Z3bG5MyTXAvtoctP0UNbN3DYqnr8jsrZm-_ygHMc7pyCutVQGJBK_RLnyCzy_XyEnunn9pZ9ATINDw3B9fo/s1600/HEART-OF-GOLD-SPRING-2015-PARIS-TRENDS-GET-SPORTY.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE6saMgX-y9ADcgkQrLFDjMDDvu-dW2Y-9LWdoikb2hCrWaa3wLTbJqDH-Z3bG5MyTXAvtoctP0UNbN3DYqnr8jsrZm-_ygHMc7pyCutVQGJBK_RLnyCzy_XyEnunn9pZ9ATINDw3B9fo/s1600/HEART-OF-GOLD-SPRING-2015-PARIS-TRENDS-GET-SPORTY.png" /></a></div>

As you might have noticed I took a little baking break, which was partially due what I mentioned in yesterday's post. Sometimes I am just too <i>tired</i>. But I am back today with my series At the Market where I am giddy with excitement because table grapes, in particularly concord grapes have arrived. They actually came to the farmer's market that I frequent in the end of August, earlier than I expected so every Saturday since I have been buying them by the pound wondering just what to bake with them. I settled on a Concord Grape Pie, a lip smackingly good pie that captures the essence of fall in just one bite. </div>

<b><i>Concord Grape Pie</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Ingredients:</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 recipe pie crust</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 pounds concord grapes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 pinch of salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3 tablespoons corn starch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Directions:</i> Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Separate the the skin from the pulp by gently cutting a slit in the grape. Place skins into a bowl and place pulp into a heavy bottomed sauce pan. Over medium heat cook until pulp has been broken down, this takes about 5 to 6 minutes. Place a fine sieve over the skins and press pulp through strainer. Mix with the skins to combine. Discard seeds. Combine sugar, lemon juice, salt and cornstarch, stir to combine. Set aside. On a floured surface roll out pie crust and place into pie pan. Poke holes in the bottom with a fork. Pour grape mixture into pan and bake for about 40 minutes or until pie has set. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before serving. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-style: italic;">Today I am sharing a very personal post, something that I typically do not do, since I like to keep this space a happy site that inspires. I am opening up about </span><i>the</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i> year that I have had so far, one that has literally knocked me off my feet. By writing this post I only hope to inspire everyone </i></span><i>especially </i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i> if you are going through a struggle in life, </i></span><i>you are</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i> not the only one. I will say that w</i></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><i>riting this makes everything more real since I have yet to write down my thoughts on paper, mostly because they have been whirling around my head and because it is a truth I haven't wanted to accept.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">I have heard many great things this year, the best being '<i>I do</i>' f</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">rom my husband on our wedding day, but the worst thing I heard this year was that '<i>You have </i></span><i><a href="http://www.nationalmssociety.org/What-is-MS" target="_blank">Multiple<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span>Sclerosis</a></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">'. Let me first start off by saying that I am sharing this not because I want people to feel bad for me by any means, but rather just like any obstacle in life if you face it head on you can still go after your dreams because </span>after all <span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>nothing</i> should hold you back in life.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It all started back in March when I had to go to the emergency room because my entire right side went numb. To be honest I didn't think much of it, I thought it was strange but thought it might have been a slipped disk from a few times that I fell last winter when I was running to and from the subway in sub-zero temperatures. My doctor thought something else after seeing my MRI so he sent me to the ER, which turned into five long days spent in the hospital. Never have been hospitalized before I didn't know that many people enter your room from actual doctors to those in residence and even interns. Each one told me something different about my condition, some said nothing was wrong. One doctor approached my bedside and told me that I needed to be prepared that I would receive a diagnosis that could be MS, an auto-immune disease that attacks the central nervous system, but doubted it when they said it. I was going to wait until a neurologist in my insurance network could read my MRIs and charts once I left the hospital. The neurologist at the hospital told me I would have to see a doctor that focused on MS. </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">I still didn't believe it</i><span style="font-family: inherit;">. Flash forward to my first neurologists appointment right before my wedding where siting next to my husband, my rock, I was diagnosed with the disease. </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">My reaction still shock</i><span style="font-family: inherit;">. How could someone that is (</span>fairly<span style="font-family: inherit;">) young, eats healthy (the sweets on my site are my baking therapy, not necessarily my indulgence) and exercises five or six days a week receive such a diagnosis? I felt confused, but also very scared. It just so happened that I work in a building that houses an MS research center. I see the people coming and going, they are walking with canes or even worse have wheelchairs or service dogs. </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">I think could this be me one day? </i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The problem with this disease is that they don't have a cure and researchers do not understand why it runs different courses on different people. My doctor told me that I needed to start a drug therapy, a pill that I would have to take twice a day in order to stop future flare-ups. Not being a medicine person, I don't even like to take Tylenol unless I have </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">no</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> other choice. But here, I really had <i>no</i> choice. I am a person that loves life and wants to live it to the </span>absolute<span style="font-family: inherit;"> fullest. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: inherit;">The first months with the diagnosis and medicine were very rough, but mentally and physically. I was experiencing fatigue like never before, I couldn't get out of bed let alone exercise. I would </span><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">come home from work and </span>couldn't even cook<span style="font-family: inherit;"> dinner. Over the past month or so thankfully the debilitating fatigue has subsided (however, some days are still worse than others) and I am beginning to feel a bit more 'normal', although I cannot run like I used to run and believe me I <i>love</i> running. This is </span>what<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I say when I mean when I say <i>'the new normal'</i>. The things that I used to be able to do like walk city block by city block for miles or stand for extended periods of time, I cannot seem to do with as much ease anymore. This upsets me, but I am not letting it stop me. I am more engaged in life than ever before. I am focused, positive (even on those days that are hard, I still try) and I realize once again that you have no idea what life can send your way, bad or good. I hope to inspire anyone that has had a set-back that things will be <i>okay</i>. Now I just pray that I can live a full-life and not succumb to this disease because, boy, I am a fighter and fight I will continue to do. </span></span></span><br />

Happy Monday everyone! We are coming off such a wonderful weekend, the sun was shining bright in the sky creating warm beautiful days. They are those types of days that you want to hold onto, especially when you know that colder weather is ahead. Today I am sharing a site that constantly inspires me, <a href="http://localmilkblog.com/" target="_blank">Local Milk</a>, written and photographed by Beth Kirby. Her photographs and styling are one of a kind, the type that you would like to jump into. Here are just a few of my favorites that I think you might like too. </div>

The makeup for spring has been pretty all around, from New York, London and Milan. One of the best makeup looks to come out of Milan was at the Dolce & Gabbana show. Ruby lips and flawless skin was accentuated with crimson flowers tucked loosely in the hair. I typically gravitate towards reds with less purple and more blue undertones, however, I am going to be incorporating this stunning shade into my lipstick repertoire now. Here are some of my favorites ruby shades right now. </div>

The Milan shows have come and gone, now the show has moved onto Paris. But before I start dreaming about the fashion that is yet to emerge, Milan was nothing short of noteworthy. A few trends from New York and London carried over to Milan, like florals - bright, colorful and over-sized as seen at shows like Marni and Blumarine. Denim received a high fashion makeover from bejeweled at Dolce & Gabbana to an exaggerated peplum at Giamba (Giambattista Valli's new line, which is <i>stunning</i> as expected). A key shade was clay - a muted and earthy tone that created a soft palette at Bottega Veneta and Marni. </div>

We drove through the Italian and French Alps on our drive back from Italy to Paris. Lush green mountains cascaded up to snow-capped mountains, which made me feel like I was dreaming. Even the warm May air did not scare the billowy snow clouds away. I was excited to see Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps. In order to get to the other side you drive through a 30-minute tunnel and once you exit you are greeted with undulating valleys with brave hand gliders overhead. Here are just a few of the images that I managed to snap while hanging my head out our Renault rental car. </div>

I hope that everyone had a great weekend, another busy one here, but managed to enjoy a bit of much needed R & R. I am starting this week off with one of my favorite new style inspirations, model Candela Novembre. I love her take on femininity and how she merges basics with bold prints and colors. Here are just a few of my favorite looks spotted on the streets and some ideas on how to create the look. I hope that everyone has a great week!</div>

Friday has arrived, it is time to celebrate! It has been a busy week both at work and the other work that I have going on. I have been enjoying the beautiful crisp mornings here in New York where all you need is a light jacket of choice (mine being my favorite vintage leather jacket) and you are set until lunch time when the sun warms everything up. I hope that everyone has a great weekend, but before I leave you here are some beautiful things that I have loved this week. </div>

London is quickly becoming one of my favorite cities for fashion. I adore how emerging designers use color and are not afraid to break the 'rules'. The Spring shows were just another example of this where British designers like Emilia Wickstead, Michael van der Hamm and Roksanda turned out collections that were dizzily colorful, feminine and just down-right <i>pretty</i>. One of my favorite trends to emerge from London were the light as air pinks, that were like taking in a breath of fresh air, especially when paired with soft lilacs at Temperley London. Sheer touches were a dominant theme in New York and are not for the modest, except at shows like Burberry and Issa where sheer fabric overlays were placed over an abstract print. </div>

Right now I am inspired by fall's beautiful light. Even though we have less than one week before the official day of fall, it definitely feels like the season has arrived. Moody clouds, crisp air and fall's chunky sweaters are slowly coming into the fray. Here are some images that are currently inspiring me for the start of the the season. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfPNnfed_8F9tquMcHvBAkLlwmpLmYImBxrtfIM4eOOJbCnaXoZzgYEKRbWs0Mj3Tw5961h5KFE5DYc2qG2OFr-k-cH90OHjKismFwCrWxxg962i0v8TUCdzSDWs2P6GdHbIn4Cbn9NR4/s1600/Heart+of+Gold+Inspiration+for+Fall+Interiors.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfPNnfed_8F9tquMcHvBAkLlwmpLmYImBxrtfIM4eOOJbCnaXoZzgYEKRbWs0Mj3Tw5961h5KFE5DYc2qG2OFr-k-cH90OHjKismFwCrWxxg962i0v8TUCdzSDWs2P6GdHbIn4Cbn9NR4/s1600/Heart+of+Gold+Inspiration+for+Fall+Interiors.jpg" /></a></div>

I hope that everyone had a great weekend! I owe an apology to you and this site, I am in a bit over my head right now. Between a huge side project and some personal things, I feel like I have been a bit scattered brained and I caught quite a few errors in my posts last week, I am sorry! I am an absolute perfectionist, but please stay with me, because what I have coming down the pipeline is good and I hope to return to my old self soon. </div>

In the meantime, it feels like sweatshirt weather has arrived here in New York. Cool mornings and even cooler nights have made me feel like I need to tuck away the t-shirts and shorts until next spring. I actually put on a pair of jeans over the weekend and it felt quite nice. Another staple during the transition period is a sweatshirt, which has received a huge makeover in the past few season. I love this look that upgrades a laid back look into a more sophisticated one.

I hope that everyone had a great week. This week couldn't have been any longer and it was a rough one, unfortunately there was a death in my husband's family. It is so hard seeing someone you love going through the pain and loss. </div>

Spring 2015 beauty was effortless, pretty and oftentimes severe. Complexions were kissed with bronzer, eyes were washed with a vibrant turquoise blue shadow and perfectly manicured brows perfectly frame the face. Here is a recap of the beauty trends from New York. You can follow my Spring 2015 Runway Beauty board <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/acdulaney/spring-2015-runway-beauty/" target="_blank">here</a>. I hope that everyone has a great weekend!</div>

Plucking fruit from a tree makes me impossibly happy. I am not sure if it is the nostalgic element or the fact that I know I am going to be biting into something delicious. Over the holiday weekend we went peach picking which also led us to picking our own vegetables, something I haven't done since I was a child. We are in the prime of tomato, zucchini and eggplant and let me say I took full advantage. I picked so many cherry and sun gold tomatoes that have been eating them non-stop. We headed up to Fishkill Farms, my favorite by far in upstate New York not only for what they produce but also the rolling green hills and the mountains in the distance. Peaches were at their peak, I gladly stuffed bags full eager to eat and bake with them. Instead of doing a traditional peach pie I decided to make something a little lighter. I roasted peaches in the oven and then topped them with Lemon Verbena Cream, an incredibly fast and easy dessert. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqWPq3UR6R93_4CgWTuw5LcRv-GRE1GBV-iymhr8gZPKKH2wEusjLqOGm7NR_fqrJ1Ee8LvSL7abHPE9LqKI12Adx7-rqcyuhhtHy0TezLLS_kJQyM1jP5YT0HwbnehZ7s_2-PGWU51uo/s1600/Heart+of+Gold+Peach+Harvest+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqWPq3UR6R93_4CgWTuw5LcRv-GRE1GBV-iymhr8gZPKKH2wEusjLqOGm7NR_fqrJ1Ee8LvSL7abHPE9LqKI12Adx7-rqcyuhhtHy0TezLLS_kJQyM1jP5YT0HwbnehZ7s_2-PGWU51uo/s1600/Heart+of+Gold+Peach+Harvest+2.jpg" /></a></div>

New York fashion week has nearly come and gone but not without a few major trends that will have you eagerly counting down the days until next spring. Here is a recap of the key trends from New York. Stay tuned for my beauty recap, because the makeup so far has just been <i>pretty</i>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrw8JE3ZRWEsNPqkoZcnPPfGhE9KjPfoU8nxHZuHQlb9XvpYiEb5l8w7nOJGkaCKqgjluDFTWQSXyZcF4537Vyi6Tv-PT5MG2gStiOt_H0e9j-nCWRH5rXr8fjn3fc6_Iqrm-CsLCDRbA/s1600/Heart-of-Gold-Spring-2015-New-York-Fashion-Trends-WHITE-OUT.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrw8JE3ZRWEsNPqkoZcnPPfGhE9KjPfoU8nxHZuHQlb9XvpYiEb5l8w7nOJGkaCKqgjluDFTWQSXyZcF4537Vyi6Tv-PT5MG2gStiOt_H0e9j-nCWRH5rXr8fjn3fc6_Iqrm-CsLCDRbA/s1600/Heart-of-Gold-Spring-2015-New-York-Fashion-Trends-WHITE-OUT.png" /></a></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Bow Tie: </i>Femininity was in full swing at many of the shows, where the waist was subtly accentuated with an elegant bow adding the perfect final detail. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>White Out:</i> The key shade for spring is white - pure, clean and utterly sophisticated. A myriad of designers sent down a variety of silhouettes that included everything from lace to perforated textures and sateen finishes. The sheer patterned overlay at Honor and sheer dress with silver details are Prabal Gurung were some of my favorites. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>The New Metals</i>: Metallics received a makeover for spring where designers like Nonoo and Peter Som adapted shades of bronze and gold to to dresses and short sets, while Monique Lhuillier included rose gold pieces with a tarnished effect. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>The New Botanicals:</i> Florals have had their day and still have momentum for spring, but a new take on printed flora is lush green botanical prints as seen at Jason Wu and Peter Som.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Well-Pleated: </i>The modern day take on a silhouette that might breed thoughts of nostalgia from days in private schools. Gold, silver and rich navy were just a few shades of this skirt that hit right around the knee. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Beautiful Terrain</i>: Designers seek inspiration from everywhere and it is apparent that some are greatly influenced by the geographic terrain that has shaped them as a designer. Prabal Gurung's pieces were painted with a vast landscape of the Himalayan mountains, while Vivienne Tam's print were inspired by her recent visit to Beijing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>Stripes on Stripes:</i> This classic pattern was incorporated in heavy doses from Altuzzara who combined an asymmetrical striped pencil skirt with with a striped blouse to Yigal Azrouël that took a more subtle approach placing stripes on maroon fabrics. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLTOHSDH94roQyGvsoafiqFLTTQap3bNj43G7tsCvDvCsjqUeMJd1bq9anrjdkNyC_KyjHbxBYdO1Y50xT_HcNruYkOu26p6hBRTT7Kn8OCN9kY8TKl3x5jjAonyM2gozbO-W1Pey2aqY/s1600/HEART-OF-GOLD-SPRING-2015-NEW-YORK-THE-NEW-METALS.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLTOHSDH94roQyGvsoafiqFLTTQap3bNj43G7tsCvDvCsjqUeMJd1bq9anrjdkNyC_KyjHbxBYdO1Y50xT_HcNruYkOu26p6hBRTT7Kn8OCN9kY8TKl3x5jjAonyM2gozbO-W1Pey2aqY/s1600/HEART-OF-GOLD-SPRING-2015-NEW-YORK-THE-NEW-METALS.png" /></a></div>

Being in a creative person, I find it essential to step out and venture into neutral territory, some place that I am not constantly stimulated by the computer screen - Pinterest! Blogs! Instagram! The place that I regain my center is being in nature, whether it is at the beach or spending time in the grass in the country. One of my favorite things is to be consumed by flower fields, wild or cultivated, there beauty is something that you just cannot get when sitting behind a computer. Typically I shoot by <i>Petal by Petal</i> series in my studio (rather my Brooklyn apartment that I try to transform and make it condusive to a photo session), but switching things up to step out but if stepping out and being with the flowers in their element is an option then I jump at it. I took these photographs of towering and incredibly vibrant cosmos a few weeks ago at a farm in Upstate New York. Shades of purple and pink stood out in a sea of green that was almost unreal (<i>note, typically I may bring the saturation levels up when editing a photo, but not here, these flowers were that green</i>). Read on to learn more about this summer beauty!</div>

I hope that everyone had a great weekend! With fashion week in full swing that means one thing - street style photographs are everywhere. New York temperatures have been a bit crazy one day is sweltering hot and the next is perfectly comfortable. One piece that has been spotted is the white oxford shirt, a closet staple for any season. It instantly adds polish to any bottom, whether a structured pencil skirt or a pair of high-waisted denim. Here is a roundup of some of my favorite looks and key pieces to help achieve it. I hope that everyone has a great week!</div>
