As a native New Yorker, I will be the first to say that nothing is better than NYC in the summer time. The possibilities are endless and you feel dangerous – it’s all exciting. Just like scenes out of the Great Gatsby, New York is still the city of dreams and where anything is possible. Stella McCartney took the essence of New York’s fiery spirit in the Laura Pottering Bustier ($110 USD). Somehow I can envision the character Daisy wearing this festive number enchanting any man in her presence. Complete the look with the matching bikini ($55 USD) and knock them dead!
