Greenmarket at Grand Army Plaza

One of my favorite things to do on the weekend is walk over to the Greenmarket at Grand Army Plaza. It’s a short 10 minute walk from my apartment and perfect for picking up the freshest most delicious ingredients for Saturday night dinner. This Saturday was no different. Even though the weather was a little chilly for summer we made our way to buy some corn, zucchini and pretty flowers. We spent under $10 for everything!

Greenmarket Hours: Saturdays 8:00 am to 4:00 pm

Do you love brunch as much as I do? Duh! Of course you do. What about ruffles? Okay, maybe you like ruffles more than I do but lately I feel like I’ve been seeking clothes with adorable gathered fabric. I was walking through Target and came across this darling top from the WhoWhatWear collection and immediately fell in love. The beauty of this top is how lightweight it is – perfect for those hot summer days. I wore it this weekend to brunch at Sisters. I love this restaurant located on the border of Prospect Heights and Clinton Hill in Brooklyn. The interior decor is gorgeous and the food delicious. Highly recommend!

House Sitting in NJ

Can we talk about how nice it is to get out of the city during the summer? Don’t get me wrong – part of the beauty of being in the city during the summer is that nobody is here. The streets are deserted on the weekends which makes it easy to navigate this endlessly busy town. However, when presented with the opportunity to run off to NJ to house sit…I’m not going to say “no”! Specially when I can romp around in a cute co-ord suit like the one in these pictures.

I traveled to Washington, NJ this weekend to my friend Gabrielle’s parents house. The weekend included playing with cute dogs + eating too much watermelon + singing to top 40’s while driving + going on runs + pretending to be a local and lounging poolside. What’s there not to love?

Do you have a favorite place to travel on summer weekends?

Eastern Parkway Strolls

Bag: Cult Gaia
Shoes: Zara

The first time I walked down Eastern Parkway I was transported. It’s such a gorgeous walk under huge shady trees – very unlike the rest of the city. I generally walk down EP when I meet my friend Gabrielle at Prospect Park for a run. It’s a nice way to have some time in the mornings to walk alone, dog watch, and enjoy the pretty views.
