I could write a book about all the places in New York that I love. Each area of the city offers a unique and different atmospheric experience. My favorite place is the Met Opera House. South Street Seaport feels like a mini vacation from the city. I spend most of my weekends frolicking around the West Village. Shopping on Madison Ave. makes me feels like Sex and The City. But there is one place I go to escape; to feel present, to gather my thoughts.

In the summer, on the weekends, I run up and down the West Side River Park. I take in the beautiful scenery; enjoying moments in nature. It’s not much but it still gives me peace. I sometimes go to the piers, sit on a bench and just be. I watch families take a walk together, butterflies flying from flower to flower, couples affectionately lounging as if no one else is around. I feel the breeze from the river while I devour a book. I daydream about my future. I talk to God about my life. I go there when I am having a bad day to get some perspective. It’s the closest I can get to sanctuary in the hustle and bustle of the city.
If I am not in my activewear or swimsuit, I wear a cute summer dress. This white smock dress is the perfect summer item to wear daily. It’s comfortable to wear while running around, out with friends, or sitting on a bench on the pier. Shop more ruffle sleeve smock dresses for the summer.
