Jacket Stalking! 13 Cute Coverups On Real NYC Gals & Guys
The month of May typically conjures images of park picnics, outdoor BBQs, and that treasured first trip to the beach (read: Rockaway Taco). But, that doesn't mean we can go straight from bulky sweaters to itty-bitty bikinis; Thanks to a sassy lady we like to call Mother Nature, we're forced to endure a roller coaster of hot-and-cold temps that constantly rains on our sartorial parade. To help you through her mood swings, we hit the streets to find the best inspiration for your layering needs. From tough 'n' trendy military jackets, to edgy leather bombers, to the season's prettiest floral trenches, we've got you covered — literally.
Street Style: Early May Showers Bring Mix 'N' Match Florals
Given the persistant gray skies lately, it's like every time we look out the office window we think we could be in London (except of course, we've got The Standard East). It's a little dreary. Sure, we share style notes with our friends across the pond, but we'd like to let them have their weather all to themselves. So, in order to invigorate the mood, we've turned our lenses sidewalk-side and found an amazing look thats shocking us back to life. Enter Athanella Paul's layers of floral prints, just the thing to help us avoid electrotherapy. The Hawaiian skirt may be a difficult piece to match, so Athanella nailed it by mis-matching (or weirdly matching) to perfection. The windblown hair and the spikey white shoes (yes even with tights!) all work well together in an accidentally-chic type of way that everyone's always trying to get right. Though we wish we could have gotten a better look at that black boxy handbag, given her statement necklace and confident stance, we'll just go ahead and assume it's awesome, too.
1 Piece, 3 Ways: New Ways To Love Your Light-Washed Denim
Denim is a go-to no matter the season, but the hotter it gets the lighter the washes become. Still, that doesn't mean you should limit yourself to only white jeans for spring and summer. There are tons of chic outfits waiting for you in the super-light denim aisle and we've got three to take you from daytime to nighttime to playtime.
Indeed, just because the jeans are casual, that doesn't mean you can't look super glam while wearing them. Punch up your look with some printed pieces for a weekend getaway or keep it sleek with a darker ensemble for the after-party. We swear you're gonna be living in these guys all season, so it's best to start pinning a pair (and the outfits to match) to your mood board now. Whether you wash 'em or not…well, that's up to you.

City Hall Weddings: 14 Duos Who Said 'I Do'
Big or small, extravagant or minimal, traditional or modern…weddings, like couples, come in all shapes, sizes, and budgets. For every lavish ceremony set atop a tulle-draped mountaintop, there is a quiet morning spent in City Hall. We camped out in front of NYC's iconic City Hall to document the flow of 'I Do'-ers who chose to trade in the pomp and circumstance for something a littler simpler. Check out the 14 beautiful couples who caught out eye…now, can you pass the Kleenex?

And what better way to prove it than by rounding up 15 awesome printed alternatives to mix in with your old faithfuls?

14 Bathing Suits To Inspire You For Beach Season

So, click through for 12 swimsuits that'll make a splash in all the right ways.
Would You Defend Your Super-High Spring Platforms To Cathy Horyn?
Last week, Cathy Horyn questioned the validity of new super-high platform heels. Sure, she agrees that they're more comfortable than the regular stiletto, but she has a problem with the wobbly gaggle of girls dangerously strutting around the city. And, while we've seen near fatal spills on the cobblestones in the MPD, we're not quite ready to fork over our beloved lifts just yet (especially with wedge-season just around the corner!). Although Horyn argues that the new silhouette "ceased to be feminine and interesting," we think there's hope for spring platforms yet — just continue to ditch those heinous Litas.

Sure, the socks-and-sandals look might not be for everyone, but when it's done well, it's pretty much always a win. We say go for it — with strappy numbers as cool as these, your layered toesies are bound to look way more Marni than Mr. Mom.
