Summer Fridays: What to Wear To A Rooftop Party

Le Bain Summer Fridays The Standard NYC Urban Daddy

One of my favorite things about living in NYC is the concept of Summer Fridays. Perhaps I’m a little naive when it comes to other locales, but we never had Summer Fridays in other places I’ve lived, and not every place I’ve worked in the city has had Summer Fridays either. I’m excited for this particular Summer Friday because I’m headed to a party at Le Bain at The Standard. That’s the rooftop bar with a pool that has seem some very naughty action in it, I’m sure, over the years.

I will not be wearing my fatkini into the pool tomorrow due to a strong desire to stay away from other people’s bodily fluids, but I have been thinking hard about what one wears to such a divine honorable pleasure as this one. I’ve rounded up some pieces and looks to inspire myself for tomorrow. I mean … I don’t want to look like I’m trying too hard, but I have to look and feel cool. That means planning is a must.

12 Days of Christmas: Day 4

no holiday is complete without a little jewelry underneath the tree or around your neck, right?

i’m absolutely in LOVE with big statement necklaces at the moment. like this one by betsey johnson at macy’s. the bead and fireball necklace will have you looking like you’re all wrapped up like a gift!

you’ve probably been party to the collar trend that we’ve seen all over the place. collars are totally in – on top of what you’re wearing, with a strapless or lower cut top, just … everywhere. i love that asos has made it easy to do this trend with jewelry.

affordable, too, $21.82.

i’ve also seen a lot of necklaces out there there look like they’re scarves, but they’ve got incredible sequins and beading added to them. one example is this piece called the le charlot necklace by roarke. 

this piece is definitely for those with a little more change in their pocket, but i feel pretty sure that we’ll see less expensive version out there very soon. this would pack a punch with any outfit, however.

i like this red spike necklace from kenneth jay lane, too. it’s in the more affordable range at $80. it’s for those days that maybe you want to tell people to stay back or that you’re sharp in mind and body. love a good piece of costume jewelry like this.

also on my LOVE THAT list of fabulous statement necklaces that will dress up any little black dress you may have is this anne klein necklace with hematite-tone jewels.

 if you’ve got a colored dress that’s plain, and it needs a little jazzing up, then this piece from fossil will be right up your alley. it’s almost like a bib necklace, but it’s sticking to the basics. the neutrals of jewelry, if you will.

last, but certainly not least, is this HUGE statement of a necklace from the women’s st. john collection. it’s a limited edition crystal bow statement necklace that is just TO DIE FOR.

it’s so large, so detailed, so decadent, it’s almost too much. it’s also $595, which is definitely too much for me. but hey, perhaps for you? who knows?

if you want to see all of the jewelry and accessories that i’ve found across the web, check out my accessories shop right here on xoxonettaP!

until next time ladies, xoxo nettaP

I Heard You Loud and Clear

what’s up pumpkins? ok, so after getting a ton of feedback on my post about perhaps leaving this whole fashion thing behind, i’ve decided to keep at it, but, perhaps, change things a bit. you will be seeing more personal posts from me that talk about what i’m going through, most likely. i tend to be a private person when it comes to feelings, but maybe it’s time i change that. apparently a lot of people relate to me (HEY Y’ALL!), so i feel that i need to give the people what they want.

the round up may not happen weekly anymore, it may happen bi-weekly, it may not happen at all. i’m still sitting with that decision, but i will do my best to keep bringing you videos when i get the time and energy!

with all that said, y’all wanna see what i’m wearing today?

 

a little instagramed image. ok, so, my skirt is last season asos curve, my shoes are from old navy (and are giving me hella blisters. i’ve been banned from wearing heels for awhile due to the knee surgery, so i’m breaking in flats. i didn’t realize they ALSO give you blisters! ahh! my top is a sheer number that is from forever21+. frizzy hair, courtesy of the nyc weather and the gym, necklace is from aldo, so is my ring and my bracelet.
