A Ruffle Black Dress on the South Fork of Long Island on a Lovely Summer Day.

Well we are quickly heading towards the end of summer. Fashion Week is less then a month away and then I am headed off to Paris. So for me there are only a few weeks left to fully enjoy summer, and I am trying to pack in as much in as I can before I get too busy. On this day my friend Lori and I headed out to James Port and River Head.

We headed to the main street in town — Love Lane, and had lunch at Love Lane Kitchen, and also did a bit of shopping in the boutique next door called Minted, such a lovely shop filled with so many lust worthy pieces. We stopped at a few farm stands and of course we had to have a photo shoot as well. Nothing here is “new”, the dress is new to me, though it is second hand. You may have seen this in my Thrifting in New York video. The sunnies, bag and shoes are not new.

The day was fairly warm, and this dress was perfect. It is not made from natural materials but the material is very light and the cut is super flowing. I felt great in this. I hope to post a video on the outing too, watch this space!
