My friends, the time has come where top knots are my hair style of choice. With the humidity (that I loathe) in NYC during the Summer, I rarely feel the desire to wear my hair down these days.

A few days before the event, I was walking around Manhattan (Midtown East) and I discovered coral shoes (or is it melon?) at a random shop. Instantly, I fell in love because they're like THE perfect Summer statement shoes. (See why I love Manhattan so much?!)
For the Columbia Alumni event, I paired them with a loose blouse and black skinnies. Cute! It's not shown in these photos, but I also added a black blazer to the outfit. You know, to look more like a mature, "Ivy League Alumna" and whatnot.
How do you guys deal with heat/humidity and Summer hair care?
Hope you all have a super stylish week. Stay fabulous!
Those shoes are simply awesome!
ReplyDeleteHere in Dubai humidity is the norm.. I blowdry my hair nice, big and fluffy and 5 second after I stepped out, pisssss.. deflate!! So most of the time I have my hair up in a messy bun and that's it!
ReplyDeleteGorge shoes!
Come see my latest post when you can :)

Love those shoes, so yummy!!
ReplyDeleteThe shoes are EVERYTHING! I definitely avoid wearing my hair down because the ends always turn into a frizzy mess. I rock a lot of ponytails and top knots too.
ReplyDeletethere isn't a whole lot of humidity out this way... thank goodness. that used to be torture on my hair. yep, the top knot is a great go to hairstyle in humid areas.
ReplyDeleteyou really worked it out this week. love the shoes, top, jewelry - everything. And what is there to NOT love about Manhattan?!?! I must visit NYC again soon!
Wow, I love your entire ensemble! I think I could actually put my 38 year old self in that outfit and shoes. I love your hairstyle too. I tend to wear "sloppy" ponytails when it's humid out.
ReplyDeleteSo stylish, I love it...you rock the look!
ReplyDeleteI just wear a bun most days and enjoy that summer time hair growth spurt. You look AMAZE!! You know i've always loved your top knots!
ReplyDeleteNow, don't you look fabulous! I would totally rock a bun if I had the hair. I am loving the blog design and new about me page!
