If I had the chance to start my NYC summer wardrobe from the beginning, these are the items I would choose to buy.

      My response varies each time I'm asked, but if you were to ask me today, I'd say that summer is my favorite season for shopping. There's something about the freedom of light clothing, not having to worry about layering a coat over the final outfit, and the vibrant energy it brings out in me. Additionally, packing becomes simpler when the temperature hits 90°F, allowing me to manage with just a carry-on. In winter, don't even think of asking me to accomplish that.

      We've hit an exciting stage in my summer shopping since the season has genuinely peaked. The early days of summer when I was still determining my outfits are behind me. I now have a clear understanding of my style and the trends I'm eager to explore. If I could completely revamp my summer wardrobe without worrying about the cost, I'd head straight to Fwrd, Net-a-Porter, and Mytheresa. Below, you’ll find my dream wardrobe, and feel free to treat yourself to something.
