Alas, the time for me to leave New York City has arrived. With a move to sunny Southern California in the works for next month, I am totally excited to explore a new city and to have access to incredible beaches and to bask in perpetual nice weather…but it’s no secret that there are a list full of things that I will dearly miss from the place I’ve called home...

I was doing some shopping online when I came across this Anna Sui Patchwork Dress. Straight off of the runway, this visually stunning piece is certainly a strong indication of what’s to come this fall.
