It's never an easy feat to find green spaces in New York. While there are beautiful parks that pepper the city, most of them usually consist of a playground, not much grass and a handball court. Taking Central Park, Prospect Park and McCarren Park out of the equation, the denizens of this great town are not exactly left with very many fauna options when in need of a bit of fresh air.
There are little gems in certain neighborhoods that are known as community gardens, which are nurtured by samaritans who crave a side of turf with their concrete. The setting for this shoot consists of probably the prettiest and vastest one I've ever come across -- the NYC hippies usually only get a little square of soil to cultivate on a corner block. How could we not shoot here? By the looks of it, you would never think that we are in the middle of Manhattan, right? Find out more about the West Side Community Garden here.
The beautiful nature setting even inspired me to break out of my sartorial comfort zone and introduce a print into my usually paired-down, neutrals mix. It's amazing how a magical opening filled with manicured trees and carefully planted flowers can be hidden among a New York City stretch of buildings and rouse something in you.

I love how fresh you look at those photos. You're outfit is so pretty especially the perfect combination of that floral skirt and white simple top with the background.
lovely garden. :)
love how nicely the top looks tucked into the shorts, great contrast.
Lovely hair cut by the way, casual but it stand out.

You look lovely Hélène! You should break out of your comfort zone more often...especially now that the temperatures are still so summery, and invite us to be a bit more daring colour- and printwise:)
Funny that you talk about green spaces in New York. I recently talked about green spaces in London too :) It's full of magical green patches. Every week I discover a new one!

What a great find-- such a beautiful garden! And bravo to you for stepping outside of your comfort zone…I completely relate to your print aversion and have been attempting to break my own rules a bit more frequently...
