Shimmer & Leather in Riverside Park
Fall is officially here. There is no going back at this point. Temperatures will only continue to drop as the days pass, looming closer and closer to freezing. I learned an interesting fact from a friend that this past week, fall tree foliage was at its peak of color. I hope you all got to be outside and take in the warm hues. NYC loves to show off in the Fall.
Layers are what it is all about during the Fall in NYC. Cold outside yet hot inside since the uncontrollable heat has decided to turn on. It is essential to be able to pull off or put on a layer depending on your surroundings.
I decided to layer up, pop outside and take in the beauty of the city.
I'm in love with what J.Crew is doing this season. I recently picked up their Sparkle Side Slit Sweater (currently 25% off on-line). It is the perfect piece to dress up or down depending on your mood.
I paired the sweater with my Quilted Faux-Leather Mini from Banana Republic and a basic white collar button up, also J.Crew. My everyday favorite black boots for the season from Aldo, finish out the look.
Riverside Park on Manhattan's west side is often overshadowed by its neighbor Central Park. This thin park, that is only about two avenues wide, runs from W 72nd St up to W 158th St along the Hudson River. It is THE park to watch a sunset in NYC. Less busy than Central Park, Riverside is filled with dog parks, playgrounds, community gardens and tons of space for lounging or outdoor recreation.
The Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument stands proud at the park's edge, commemorating Union Army soldiers and sailors who fought in the Civil War. Its historical flare reminds me that I live in a city with many years under her belt.
