Blue + White + Yellow = Summer {also, Verameat jewelry}
08/06/2011 § 4 Comments
I’ve always found the pairing of navy blue, yellow and crisp white extremely summery and more than a little nautical (even if not done on purpose). With it getting hotter than all get out in the city, I’ve had to relinquish my hope that we would have a long, pleasant spring. Summer has definitely arrived, and I’ve lightened up accordingly.
You may have also noticed I am a good bit tanner than the last time you saw me. This is actually the remnants of a sunburn received from laying in Central Park for too many hours with not enough sunscreen. Kids, don’t forget your SPF…

chino shorts by Lands’ End Canvas // Dad’s belt/watch, bracelets from the flea
Similar: jacket, shirt, shorts
Hard to see, but around my neck is a tiny ship’s helm by Verameat:
Was very pleased to pick this up at Verameat’s East Village boutique on its opening day. Designer Vera Balyura was a pleasure to meet, as well as Fred the Affenpinscher, the official mascot of Verameat. (And FYI, Fred is a girl.) Drop by Verameat to view a pleasingly odd collection of handcrafted curiosities for neck, wrist, finger and ear. If you’d like the ship’s helm, it’s available here in a variety of materials. But perhaps you might prefer a hatchet loving centaur pirate, a hippo-shark eating a woman or some lion/octopus love?

Love the outfit, perfect for the summery weather we’re having. My pasty white skin is jealous of your tan. Also will have to check out the little shop you mentioned next time I am in NYC. I love all the E 9th street shops!

Lady you look seriously stunning in these pictures. More Mariah on the site I say! I love this necklace that you found, I also loved the anchors they had on display too.
