Kooba Ella bag (c/o), Zara dress (last year, but similar here), Levi’s denim jacket, Ray Ban sunglasses, Sam Edelman sandals, Kenneth Cole watch (c/o), David Yurman ring

I’ve come to love mornings in New York City. The whole city is quiet and less hectic and it’s the only time it feels peaceful. This week it’s also proven to be the coolest part of the day before the temps rise into the 90s and I’ve relied on my Kooba Ella bag for toting all my summer necessities around. I love the unique navy color, not to mention it’s the softest leather ever. If you’re looking for a new bag this summer, go Ella- the white is stunning, too and perfect for this season.

It’s been forever since I’ve shared outfit photos, but you’re looking at my summer staples in this post: easy dress, denim jacket, simple sandals (like my trusty Sam Edelman ones) and my Ray Bans (and a top knot, naturally).

HAPPY FRIDAY! xo
