The fair Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific is spending a solo Saturday afternoon in New York, and we thought we’d tag along for funsies.
Here, Eadie takes us on an impromptu tour of her favourite spots in the city and carefully crafts the perfect summer outfit for each location. What’s more amazing? Every look is exclusively from Eadie’s collection of curated picks for Ann Taylor.

SATURDAY IN THE PARK
Picnics for two are so overrated. There’s something so stylishly zen about a solo Saturday with your favourite bites, a bottle of wine, and your dress fanned around you on the grass. Try it sometime.
A BICYCLE MADE FOR TWO
Where is Blair? Perry Street in the West Village
A bucket bag on the bucket seat? Like we’d miss that one.
Her Look: If you find yourself zipping through the Village on a busy afternoon, a clean-yet-casual outfit is your functional fix. The jacket lends to the utility of the look, while the light layers and pop of pink are still in tune to Blair’s feminine style.

Blogger’s Best Friend
Meet Tennessee. His human is Brittany, one of New York’s premier florists, who happily gave him the afternoon off to hang out with Blair.
GIRL IN THE CAFE
Where is Blair? Aria Wine Bar in the West Village
Her Look: You may want to decompress with a glass of wine after a long day, but that need not apply to your outfit. The navy lace skirt plus the striped crop are superbly crafted to complement and play up this sophisticated yet sporty look.
Shop It: Ann Taylor Trellis Lace Skirt ($129)
Shop It: Ann Taylor Shimmer Canvas Tote ($128)
