I’m back East for my cousins wedding in my favorite city – New York! This place never sleeps (though not in the Vegas way), theres attitude and a sense of urgency abound, everyone has a unique sense of style and the fashion scene is IT.

Joes Jeans, H&M sweather, Anthropolige leather jacket, Rag & Bone booties, Ray Ban aviators, Michale Kors watch, Chanel bag, DVF luggage

In preparation for my trip, planning is key when packing – I’m picking a theme and building a weeks worth of outfits accordingly. Because its spring and mother nature is always unpredictable, I’m relying on layers and neutrals to take me through the week in style.

Here’s a peek at what I’m bringing to the big apple:

• Lightweight sweaters
• Basic tee shirts
• Silk blouses for evening affairs
• Dark denim skinny jeans
• Leather jacket
• Rag & Bone booties (perfect for walking the city streets)
• Moccasins
• Chambray denim shirt
• Accessories: Scarves (4) Sunglasses (2) Watches (3)
• Workout gear and sneakers for a few scheduled sweat sessions
• An extra duffle bag for inevitable purchases and wardrobe additions

 How do you pack with purpose??

Stay tuned and stay stylish.
