So.. I am in New York City! As a personal stylist, I get to take some of the women I dress to the shopping capital of the world and gallivant around the city in search of statement pieces and must-haves for the new season. Not something I complain about – I love this city.

.

Based on the client, I tailor the trip toward her needs and wants and we hit up every possible place – from Soho to the East Village to Brooklyn – we do it all. Making the most of our time is essential, so taking a red eye flight was the best way to get from the City of Angels to the Big Apple.

.

The key to a red eye flight? Looking fab.. but feeling comfortable. For me, this meant wearing my Quiksilver Women’s Daytripper Dress layered over comfy leggings and paired with slip on oxfords, a knit beanie and glasses (since I am a contacts girl.. and those suckers dry out on an airplane).

Now on to shops galore..

Shop the looks : Sound Check Shirt, Daytripper Dress, Wonderwall Tank

Finally it’s March 2nd; spring is almost officially upon us!  With spring’s warm breezes, one of our favorite new looks is following closely on its heels; the Oxford Shoe!  It’s the perfect lightweight shoe for the upcoming season and looks amazing with all of our Quiksilver Women’s spring styles, especially with the Daytripper Dress or Islington shirt dress.

Browsing around one of our favorite local fashionista/Indie hotspots, The Lab in Costa Mesa, CA, we were able to snap a few paparazzi style photos of our favorite Oxford looks; we especially love the all grey patent leather style.
