Welcome, summer! I miss you and can’t wait to catch up. Your sibling, winter, was a real piece of work this year. Please, make yourself feel right at home! Everyone I know is looking forward to you.

Oh, and I’m quite sad that I didn’t get to see spring that much. It seems like she came and went with nary a word.

When in New York, do as the New Yorkers do; dress in head-to-toe black. It’s slimming, flattering on everyone, and saves you a ton of money on laundry (since you throw everything on the same load).

I remember the first piece of advice I ever got when I moved here—and it’s about washing my clothes: “If it’s not white, it’s dark. There are no colors.”

60 Second Style: Sean O’Pry

Not gonna lie: I’m a big fan of Mr. O’Pry. Although I haven’t been able to work with him on a fashion editorial, friends from the industry do say that he’s a pleasant guy to work with. He’s definitely deserving of the success he’s enjoyed since being scouted years ago.

And no, he has said in an interview that he doesn’t do gasoline fights. Sorry Zoolander fans.

Bomber jacket, $189, Scotch & Soda

Though the jacket isn’t leather, it still evokes the same feeling of calfskin. (Note that I said “evoke,” not “literally feel like….”) A great piece to transition from winter to spring.

Slim fit chino, $129, Scotch & Soda

Yes, the color may remind you of suburban dad, but the fit—wonderfully slim—should banish any doubt whether city-dwellers could don this.

Crew neck tee, $49, Scotch & Soda

I prefer solids over prints, but I suppose one or two in my own wardrobe never hurt.

Laptop bag, $229, Scotch & Soda

I love the color combination: green, mustard, and chocolate.
