Blazing it up in an unseasonably warm Central Park

New York, NY

The weather in New York has been beautiful lately. I took this last week after an early morning work-out at the Columbus Circle location of my gym. I ditched out on a run after yoga and decided to have a mini-photo shoot instead.  Most days I wouldn't dream of taking of my coat in January, but for some reason we've been so lucky.

These were taken near the front entrance of the park.  Those these 5-inch booties are easy to walk in, I wasn't prepared to do a hike into the far reaches of the park.

I bought the blazer from Coex mall in Seoul last summer.  It's actually a men's blazer (big surprise!).  The pocket square detail and the lining has a great pin-stripe that makes it more fun and whimsical. The leggings are a favorite of mine that I bought from Barney's Co-Op almost two years ago.  They've held up remarkably well.

Most of all, I put this outfit together to show off my new Dries Van Noten booties.  I scored them from the Scoop Street sale section in the meatpacking district. I loved the height and the scrunched elegance. If I ever have to hit the NYC nightlife in the snow, these are what I'm going to be wearing.

Last, but not least is my Chloe Paddington bag.  It's a variation on the traditional Paddington with a little lock that is produced in their "Aurore" bags this season. Most of my Chloe bags are from two or three years ago, when Chloe was a bit more street than pretty.  I miss the casual and slouchy look of the bags from that design house from that time period. It was before the Paraty came out. Maybe they'll re-invent themselves again.  However I just saw the accessories on the site led by the new Creative Director, Clare Waight Keller.

SNOOOOOOOORE.  :-)
