Pop-Up with Sarah Flint

Pop-Up with Sarah Flint

A few weeks ago, I was contacted to become a brand ambassador for Sarah Flint. Because I already had a love for the company, my answer was a very quick and resounding YES. Even though I am considered a ‘nano-influencer’, I deeply think about what brands align with my style and blog. Although it would be easy to agree to every offer that comes my way, I need to fully support a product to keep my blog authentic. Sarah Flint perfectly fits with that mindset. You may have heard about this shoe brand through Meghan Markle, but it’s not just for duchesses.

The Mission

So much love and attention to detail is put into each of Sarah’s shoe designs. Her “walk like a woman” philosophy comes down to three key points. Designed by Sarah, they are inspired by classic style and the woman who wear them. From the boardroom to the home front, she has created comfortable and durable shoes. Manufactured in Italy, only the top materials are even considered to create a quality product through expert craftsmanship. Finally, Sarah Flint believes in direct-to-you prices, allowing you to buy luxury without the steep price tag. Together, the result is ‘style without sacrifice’.

The Pop-Up

The Sarah Flint pop-up has officially opened in Soho. In a word, this venue is absolutely gorgeous. My friend, Stacie Flinner, designed the space and I am just in awe of her talent. When speaking with Sarah, she stressed the importance of feeling like you’re walking into a friend’s living room. Often times with brands, especially in New York, a showroom or flagship store can feel cold and uninviting. That is simply not the case at 372 West Broadway. Come on in, help yourself to a chocolate chip cookies, and find a new pair of shoes that you just can’t live without.

The Inspiration

One of my favorite elements of the space was the inspiration board. It is positively dripping with style and class. You’ll spy Hollywood’s most iconic women and delicious shades of blue. It perfectly embodies the space. It’s a touch of feminine and a dash of vintage, all while being cozy and effortless. I took lots of pictures to save for my next apartment redecorating.

My Perfect Pump 85

What really sets Sarah’s shoes apart from her competitors is the comfort factor. Her ‘Perfect Pump‘ isn’t just a name. It truly is perfect and available in three different heights to match your preference. On top of that you’ll find key elements that will make these the best pair of shoes in your rotation. A wider toe box, extra padding, and arch support will help you stay on your feet all day long. The anti-slip sole has been such a lifesaver for me as I try to navigate the streets and subways of New York. On my first day of wearing the Perfect Pump 85, I walked nearly 2 miles and had zero issues.

On Saturday, some of the other brand ambassadors came together at the pop-up for a girl’s night. We sipped, snacked, and talked about our interpretation of ‘walk like a woman’. It was such an incredibly unique opportunity to get a behind the scenes look at a brand that I strongly believe in. More importantly, I quickly learned that Sarah Flint believes in the strength of numbers. Women in this industry, like all industries, should collaborate and lift each other up.

If you want to try Sarah Flint shoes for yourself, I cannot recommend them enough. Have one pair and I promise you’ll be hooked. To get $45 off, use the code KATIE45. If you have any questions about sizing or styling, be sure to let me know!

Love from NYC,
Katie

NYC Guide: Upper East Side

October 18, 2019

NYC Guide: Upper East Side

NYC Guide, Upper East Side, New York City, UES, travel, home, shopping, museum, Central Park

Top || Skirt || Ballet Flats || Handbag || Earrings || Bracelet

We’ve been in New York for over a year and we’ve been happy to call the Upper East Side our home. Nestled right next to Central Park, it’s a top destination for world class shopping and museums. More importantly, it’s incredibly safe and easy to navigate. Although it officially extends from 59th to 96th Street, we’ve spent a good amount of time exploring close to our apartment in the 70s and 80s. For your reading pleasure, here’s my official guide to the UES.

Where to Stay:
  • The Mark (25 E 77th Street): If it’s good enough for Meghan Markle, then it’s good enough for me. This spot is right next to Central Park and around the corner from one of my favorite lunch spots in the city, Sant Ambroeus. This hotel is pure luxury and you sense that as soon as you walk in.
  • The Carlyle (35 E 76th Street): Oh, if these walls could talk! Situated in the middle of everything on Madison Avenue, some of the biggest names in New York culture have stayed here at some point. Get ready for your trip to the city by watching the documentary, Always at The Carlyle.

Where to Eat:
  • JG Melon (1291 Third Avenue): This may single-handedly be my favorite restaurant in the city. They are best known for their simple hamburgers, but I also love their BLTs. This place is a city institution, but be sure to bring cash. Credit cards aren’t accepted. Enjoy a burger, their take on a Bloody Mary, and all of the watermelon decor you could imagine.
  • Sant. Ambroeus (1000 Madison Avenue): My love for this restaurant started in Palm Beach, during my bachelorette weekend. I was tickled to find out that the original location was just down the street from me. The menu is mostly opulent pasta dishes, but my guilty pleasure is their Caprese sandwich for lunch.
  • San Matteo (1739 Second Avenue): There are two locations in the Upper East Side, but my favorite is the smaller of the two. The pizza is classic Neapolitan style and is a small piece of our Italian honeymoon in the city.
  • Uva (1486 Second Avenue): This was one of our first dinner destinations together as a New York couple. It’s an incredible wine bar with an extremely intimate feel. Whenever people need a recommendation in the Upper East Side, this is always at the top of my list.

Where to Drink:
  • The Daisy (1641 Second Avenue): This has become our go-to spot for drinks in the neighborhood. Their nightly happy hour is always a great option to unwind after the workday. Be sure to say hi to our friend behind the bar, Rudy.
  • Bondurants (303 E 85th Street): Just a stone’s throw away from The Daisy, this is the neighborhood’s whiskey bar. Obviously they have an extensive spirits selection, but the cocktail that go along with that are fantastic.
  • Bemelmans Bar (35 E 76th Street): Tucked away at The Carlyle, you cannot miss this spot. If you were a fan of Madeline growing up, you’ll fall in love. Named after the author, his illustrations come to life in the form of a wraparound mural. Cocktails are pricey, but so worth the experience.
  • Ralph’s Coffee (888 Madison Avenue): Getting away from cocktails, this is by far my favorite place for coffee in the city. Since it’s right in the Ralph Lauren store, you may accidentally overlook it. Once inside, you’ll hear a great playlist and even better cup of coffee. Don’t pass on their buttered scone. It’s simple, but incredible!
What to Do:
  • Shop on Madison Avenue: Up and down Madison Avenue, you will find some of the most exclusive brands in the world. Not only that, but these store fronts are absolutely stunning. Even if you’re just window shopping, it’s such a treat.
  • Get lost in Central Park: It needs no introduction. Central Park should be on the top of your list and you can spend all day exploring. Near my little corner of Central Park, you’ll find different fields and ponds. It’s just a nice spot to relax and get away from the city action.
  • Visit the iconic MET Museum (1000 Fifth Avenue): This is my favorite thing to do in the city. It’s nearly impossible to see all that the museum has to offer in one day and really enjoy it. Instead, focus on one type of art and really soak it in. Even though the European art always has quite a draw, pieces from every corner are represented. Find the road less traveled.

The Upper East Side has so much to offer. It’s a neighborhood that is truly what you make of it. It’s a great place to live and I’m happy to call it home.

Katie

Fall Florals

October 17, 2019

Fall Florals

Fall Florals, J. Crew, fall, dress, New York City, Upper West Side, classic, floral

Dress (also) || Flats || Handbag (also) || Earrings || Watch

Today is a cold and blustery day in New York City. I feel like fall just got here, but it may sadly be on its way out already. I can’t believe it’s just October! If luck is on my side, winter will hold off for a few more weeks. I have a fun day trip planned for next weekend and I want to get a little leaf peeping in.

Florals are normally reserved for spring, but for whatever reason I’ve been really gravitating towards them. This is so out of character for me because it’s rare that I find a floral print that really speaks to me. When it comes to patterns, I normally lean towards stripes and ginghams. And they’re mostly navy.

This new floral obsession all started with this floral trapeze dress from J. Crew. The dress is extremely roomy, but still feminine with a high, ruffled collar. It originally came into my life through Rent the Runway. I borrowed it, fell in love, and had to make it my own. RTR has the option to buy an item straight away, but the dress is still available at J. Crew. As the days get cooler, I can even plan to style it for winter with warm tights and heeled Chelsea boots.

Worn with classic Chanel flats and a sweet Kate Spade handbag, I wore this dress for a date night in the Upper West Side. Although there are plenty of options to go to in my own neighborhood, the UWS feels like I’m in a different town. After all, it’s just one quick walk through Central Park away. Currently, our favorite spot has been Burke & Wills. It’s an Australian inspired bar with great cocktails and an even better happy hour.

Fall florals are such a good idea. Honestly, I can’t understand why I didn’t invest in them sooner. As long as you have colors that are dark or jewel tones, it’s really hard to go wrong. If worn just right, they can even turn into winter florals. How would wear them?

Katie
