Summer in the City
Spending a summer in the city requires a few things: a box air conditioner, comfortable walking shoes and a NYC-worthy outfit. But in case you’re worried you might disappoint the Carrie Bradshaws of the world, Shoebuy.com offers everything a girl needs to dodge the potholes while looking fabulous – just check out these latest street trends!
Whether it’s a walk in the park or around the block, dog walking is the new runway for street fashion. Save the shorts and sneakers for the gym, and trade them in for leggings tucked into ankle-length boots. Make your look appear effortless with a colorful t-shirt covered by a light-weight jacket. And before you head out the door, don’t forget to grab a chic pair of sunglasses.

Now that restaurants have opened their outdoor seating areas, an afternoon lunch with friends turns into an opportunity to be a part of the city scenery. Look like a local with a pair of comfortable black flats that let you skip the taxi and instead get the exercise and walk to your destination. Don’t forget to pair your outfit with a white handbag to hold all of your city necessities. Top it off with a draped wrap top that will keep you warm in the shadow of the tall buildings that line the city streets.

Running errands in the city won’t look like a chore anymore when you set out with your to-do list in style. Whether you’re grocery shopping or window shopping, put on a light-weight summer dress and pair with matching moccasins- a super comfortable shoe that lets you navigate through the crowded markets and run to catch the metro. When the sun shines, pull out a pair of dark sunglasses from your vintage bag and complete the look with a must-have wide brim sun hat. You will be ready to unexpectedly run into friends or stop by work to drop off iced coffees for your colleagues. Not only will you get everything done before your evening plans, you’ll look incredible doing it.

Stay Trendy!
